If your honest with yourself and you watched the media reaction and treatment they gave towards Sarah Palin and her family over the past year, you should have at some point asked the question...WHY ?
Why did they attacke this woman with such ferocity?
Why was there such a united chorus of venom directed at her beliefs?
Why was their such a determination to discredit and destroy everything she stood for?
Why was their such a sigh of relief when her daughter became pregnant out of wedlock?
Why didn't NOW come to her defense?
Why was there little or no outrage to the personal attacks?
This was not ordinary campaigning, none of this fervor was directed at John Mccain.
The answer lies in the deep dark secrets of the mudslingers soul. When they are alone with their thoughts and are "shocked by the FOWL EVIL deeds they have done"
when there is no hope for tomorrow , in the setting of the sun...they know.
They know that when they expire, they will pay for their actions like everyone else.
But there is safety in numbers, if they can tear down the fabric of decent society, if they can lower the bar of what is acceptable, they can find solace in the alarming number of miscreants that share their evil ways. Just as the muslims see freedom and equal rights for women as a threat to their centuries of domination, They comfort themselves in the discomfort of others, they somehow rationalize that "everybody" does it.......that may work here in the current condition of the United States, they may be able to "Shout Down" decent society, they may be able to force gay marriage, teenage abortion, and child rape down the collective throats of this society and push their liberal agenda to the limits.......but when the lights dim , and the cameras are turned off , and it's just you and the only judge that matters.....good luck.
in case you missed , that ole jokester dave letterman admitted on air he did some "creepy things"...yuk yuk....even got a round of applause from his studio audience...oh the jocularity of it all........but hey enough already , back to Sarah Palin and Carrie Prejean...
have fun in hell dave, say hi to the dead kennedy's

Broadway Blueshirts...Americas team
The hockey Rangers have 7 ....count em 7....follow the link....AMERICANS on the opening day roster........we know slats is a canadian commie , so all the credit goes to Johnny Tacos for asembling this group......can't wait for the opener in Pittsburgh.....I was positively stunned to see that America's line lists the blushirts at 30-1 to win the cup....that's free money for the taking.....onward to victory.
Boston College
ESPN's gameday is onsite at BC for the Eagles -Fla State Game...this article below appeared on ESPN website reviewing the BC experience......Katie? are they accurate? a nice shout out to Mary Anns buy the way.....but no mentions of Roggies
Boston College is one of a few dozen institutions that make Boston one of the country's best college towns. What some don't realize is how things athletic mix so fervently with things academic. Even the smartest are into hockey, lacrosse and racing on the Charles River.
BC's gorgeous campus in Chestnut Hill, the quiet leafy suburb west of the center, sees fewer visitors than some campuses, and some visiting ACC fans gently mock its wee stadium (44,500 capacity), but it packs a roar on fall Saturdays, when tailgaters pull out kielbasa and fresh lobster. It is also a place you can shop up last-minute and almost always manage to get a $37 seat.
Why go
Everyone talks about Harvard, but Boston College -- actually not in Boston, nor a college -- as a day's itinerary out of central Boston makes for a fun outing, particularly when it centers around one of its teams (hockey and basketball are at least as big as football).
Chestnut Hill, between Brighton and Newton (of Fig Newton fame), is easily reached by the T, Boston's public transportation system. And its nice campus has just enough life to occupy the hours before and after kickoff. Though many just head to Brighton, a working-class area just east, for the bars.
Away from football, Boston can easily fill several days. A perfect one might include a look at Harvard's campus, a walk around the Freedom Trail and a pint of Guinness in one of the many Irish pubs.

onward we march to victory !
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
They might as well be dead.
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade.
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the world looks fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
Everything's the same.
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the world looks fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
It's just a state of mind?

Thanks
A sincere Thank You to all who took the time and somehow found the Money to contribute to the Stephen Siller "For the children" Charity as part of my fundraising efforts, I definitely appreciate it. I will chug my way through the tunnel tomorrow with a zillion thoughts in my head, but I will find solace knowing the money we raised will somehow, someway find itself to a deserving kid and maybe make a difference , if even for a moment.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

the new world order
i don't know about you , but in light of recent developments on the ZAZI case, I know I would sleep better if I thought our CIA, FBI and all law enforcement were operating without handcuffs and in fear of prosecution by Holder and obama down the road.....why Risk violating zazi's "civil" rights to find out where and when the plot is to go down , who cares if you save thousands of lives, you are the one they will prosecute.
this administration , in only 9 months ; has agreed to scrap our missile defense shield in Western Europe , and stood around with a thumb up their arse while Iran sprints to a Nuclear finish line..........we have bowed down to and buddied up to the Russians and alinieated our true allies including Poland.
we have agreed to ridiculous rules of engagement ( see ralph peters below) that handcuff our troops and ensure increased casualties....God help the first Marine who calls in an airstrike while the Taliban is holding a civilian as a human shield...Holder & Obama will throw the book at em.
maybe now , a small % of our borderline retarded nation , the ones who are addicted to Oprah, think obama is sophisticated and voted for him to show how open minded they are, maybe these same simpletons will wake up someday soon and realize this wasn't a high school popularity contest, maybe...
When enemy action kills our troops, it's unfortu nate. When our own moral fecklessness murders those in uniform, it's unforgivable.
In Afghanistan, our leaders are complicit in the death of each soldier, Marine or Navy corpsman who falls because politically correct rules of engagement shield our enemies.
Mission-focused, but morally oblivious, Gen. Stan McChrystal conformed to the Obama Way of War by imposing rules of engagement that could have been concocted by Code Pink:
* Unless our troops in combat are absolutely certain that no civilians are present, they're denied artillery or air support.
McChrystal: Imposing restrictions that play into enemies' hands.
* If any civilians appear where we meet the Taliban, our troops are to "break contact" -- to retreat.
These ROE are a cave-in to the Taliban's shameless propaganda campaign that claimed innocents were massacred every time our aircraft appeared overhead. (Afghan President Mohammed Karzai and our establishment media backed the terrorists.)
The Taliban's goal was to level the playing field -- to deny our troops their technological edge. Our enemies more than succeeded.
And what has our concern for the lives of Taliban sympathizers accomplished? The Taliban now make damned sure that civilians are present whenever they conduct an ambush or operation.
So they attack -- and we quit the fight, lugging our dead and wounded back to base.
We've been through this b.s. before. In Iraq, we wanted to show respect to our enemies, so the generals announced early on that we wouldn't enter mosques. The result? Hundreds of mosques became terrorist safe houses, bomb factories and weapons caches.
Why is this so hard to figure out? We tell our enemies we won't attack X. So they exploit X. Who wouldn't?
It isn't just that war is hell. It's that war must be hell, otherwise why would the enemy ever quit?

Joke of the year
if this doesn't get your Monday started with a chuckle , then something is wrong with you , quite possibly the joke of the year, this was sent to the Sweater night Headquarters by Donnie Biesbol. The staff hasn't stopped laughing since it's arrival.
A magician worked on a cruise ship.
The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again.
There was only one problem: the captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show. 'Look, it's not the same hat!' or 'Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!' or 'Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?'
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the captain's parrot.
Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were onboard. The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot.
They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a word. This went on for a day... and then 2 days... and then 3 days. Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said......
'OK, I give up. Where's the fUCKing ship?

Congratulations are in order
a fast moving rumor has swept Bayridge, Dan Woods recently past the 35 days sober checkpoint , a new Guinness World record....and speaking of Guinness.
BCS update
ugh !
Ga Tech was spanked by the Hurricanes Alice , a death blow to their ACC Title Hopes and subsequently any BCS consideration, it wasn't just a CONF loss, but a division loss as well, so in order to get back into the ACC title game , Miami will have to lose twice in the conf and the Jackets will have to go undefeated the rest of the way...considering we have to play our nemesis Va Tech , that will be tough.
Notre Dame......all Hail Charlie Weiss and the Irish , Damn the torpedoes , I like this guy and I like this Team , Yes they should have blown the Spartans back to East Lansing , and Yes the seem to lack that knockout punch, BUT they play with a lot of heart and great confidence, and I am gradually starting to like Claussen, and you have to love Kyle Rudolph......with home games against the Huskies and the Trojans in the next few weeks (after a visit to the biolermakers) , the IRISH can climb right back into the National spotlight.....
Navy............GRRRRRRRRRRRR......did not get to see the game , but the recaps emerging from the steel city are not pretty, 27-14 ....and it wasn't that close..hard to imagine that Pitt is that much better than Ohio State....not sure what transpired on the banks of the Allegheny, but coach Ken had better right this ship and quickly.......one observation though, as much as i like Ricky Dobbs....he has to share the ball more, keep the defense honest
on the national front , it was nice to see Washington Knock off the men of Troy.
GREAT win for the Black Knights of the Hudson over Ball State....there is life up at ole West Point , Army Stands @ 2-1 and loving it..bring on the cyclones.

Tunnel To Towers
I usually do not ask for people to sponsor me, especially in this day and age where everyone seems to have a hand out and there is not as much to go around as their used to be, but i feel pretty strongly about this one....if you don't know Stephen Sillers story , google him and read up , in any event I am sick and fkn tired of how quickly this country forgets whatever is incovenient to remember , and so i am running through the Battery Tunnel on Sunday Sept 27th to try and keep one tradition alive for as long as possible, the bigger this race gets , the more mainstream media is forced to report and cover it....who knows, maybe some Monday after the race we'll pick up a paper and there will be a story about Steve Siller and ALL the people that ran in is Honor/Memory on the front page ....instead of page 19 after all the juicy stories about the celebutards and obamas hollywood left......if you can run great, if you drop a few sheckles into the foundation, even better.
If you click on the subject "tunnel to towers" it will redirect you to my pledge page.

Catholic Boy
add Jim Carroll to the list of "people who died, died, died" , he wrote an interesting book that was later butchered into a crap hollywood movie , then he formed a band and had brief success, he basically just stopped and told the stories of the insanity that exists in every group of friends in every NY neighborhood , at least that insanity existed in the 60's, 70's and early 80's New York ....not really sure "that" world is around anymore, everything is way too serious, every mistake magnified, the drugs aren't safe or fun anymore, there seems to be a lack of affable clowns who roam the streets with nowhere to go and nothing to become, everyone has a sharp edge these days, don't get me wrong , the seedy underbelly existed always, but it seemed to be more of balance back then, but maybe that was just a distortion of my own youth...anyway if you never read the "Basketball Diaries", it is worth checking out, I read it in the summer of 1980 between Freshmen and Sophomore year, I may read it again if I can find it......also if you never listened to his signature album "Catholic Boy" ...that is worth listening to , if for no other reason than to think about those people who died, died ,died
NEW YORK — Jim Carroll, the poet and punk rocker who wrote "The Basketball Diaries," died Friday. He was 60.
He died from a heart attack at his home in Manhattan, his ex-wife Rosemary Carroll told the New York Times.
In the 1970s, Carroll was a fixture of the burgeoning downtown New York art scene, where he mixed with artists such as Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, Larry Rivers and Robert Mapplethorpe. His life was shaped by drug use, which he wrote about extensively.
Carroll also published several poetry collections, while his 1980 album, "Catholic Boy," has been hailed as a landmark punk record, and he became known for one of its songs, "People Who Died."
But it was "The Basketball Diaries," his autobiographical tale of life as a sports star at Trinity, an elite private high school in Manhattan, that brought him his widest audience. The son of a bar owner, Carroll attended the school on a basketball scholarship.
The book, which began life as a journal, was first published in 1978 and then became even more popular, particularly on college campuses, when it was issued as a mass-market paperback two years later. A 1995 movie version starred Leonardo DiCaprio.

****BREAKING NEWS *****
The high tides had to stop in the middle of an 18 minute version of Bertha at the big Cadotte Family Reunion to page one Anthony Bart , it seems Brian Duffy was soooo exhubirant with the 1st half performance of his Gang Green Savior Mark Counseulo Ripa Sanchez that he took off his apron, vacated his spot behind the bar and joined the happy revelers on the good side of the Mahogany for a round ( and another and another) of Jamesons....."tell Bart I'm taking a half day " Duff shouted to Lil Timmy ...."and tell him I am taking off for all Jet Home Playoff Games and the SuperBowl"....he then raced to the front door of Pippins to padlock the entrance before his nemesis K-Mac could get in and jinx his J-E-T-S Magic...
stay tuned for this developing story....

BCS Update
Ga Tech = The Jackets keep stinging , buzzed out to a 24-0 lead only to find themselves trailing Howards' Rock and the Clemson Tigers 27-24 in the 4th...never worry , never fear , Coach Johnsons here to save the day and the perfect season remains intact, 30-27....not sure if you saw the fake field goal in the 2nd quarter....Coach of the Year is all I can say.
ND = uh-oh......i'm not ready to sack Charlie yet, I think the refs and the breaks were against us all day.....I think we outplayed them from gun to whistle , but the scoreboard says otherwise...I thought the Irish played with a great deal of confidence, which I have not seen in a long time, and I though Claussen and the offense looked GREAT....still not sure how they lost , time will tell if this was legit road loss or a disastrous setback.
Navy = nice bounce back from heartbreak hill to spank La Tech at NMCS , it is a game we are supposed to win and we did , nice cover too , layin 8 , won by 18....that's the way Coach Ken draws it up on the board....offense was typically great after a slow start, defense was swarming....gave up 7 on special teams and only 7 (after a turnover) the rest of the day...GO MIDS.
after watching Ohio State loose to USC at the horseshoe by 3 , it is fair to say the Navy is within a touchdown of the Trojans on a neutral site , and if they ever had the guts to even schedule us, let alone visit the Lovely Chesapeake Bay , NAVY WOULD WIN........who amongst you can argue with such sound logic ?

oh Deer !
so me and Gravey ( Top Dog in Monmouth County 3 of the last 4 years) are out for our Saturday mornin stroll and we get to our corner....."our corner" not the middle of the deadwood forest mind ya....and whom do we see standing on our neighbors lawn ? well he looked a lot like the guy pictured above , so naturally Graves is shaking with anticipation, she has never Killed ( I mean played with) an animal of this size , so she is salivating at the chance to take on this buck.....I on the other hand am not.....this friggin thing was big , so Graves starts to pull on her leash and yelping , lunging towards this Deer.....the Deer Bolts , immediately followed by two more that were lurking behind the bushes, and the three of em go hopping back into the Woods....it was impressive to see them bounce away from so close, Gravey stopped dead in her tracks and shot me a look over her should that was priceless....as if to ask " What the Blank was that?"........oh deer , was all I said to her...OH Deer !

will the wind remember ?
the swaying trees and rambunctious seas
announce the dawn of another year,
just like the ones before, spirits arrive at your door
to reclaim....the lives they left too soon.
Fear not , they come in peace
to the homes and cubicles where they should still dwell
to the lives they left behind against their will, not by their choice.
acknowledge the howl on this day if no other
they are roaring in unison to remind.

joe wilson
very inappropriate of Joe Wilson (R-SC) because now the focus becomes "him" instead of this miserable health care reform plan that before last night even Democrats did not endorse.....lets hope this outburst does not inspire them to go it alone.
for the record they were both right , Wilson absolutely understands obamas intenstion of having you and I pay for healthcare of illegal immigrants.
obama....in the ultimate clintonesque stance , told the truth too......this plan will not insure illegals......Because I plan to grant amnesty and citizenship to those who are currently living here illegally.....a catch 22....the horse or the cart ...
as we used to say in the Navy "we are in sh*ts creek without a canoe, let alone a fkin paddle."

lyrics revisited
Bow Weir and Ratdog "Ashes & Glass" , if you have never had the pleasure...make an attempt, the version on ratdogs live album is best.
What if all tomorrow brings is ashes and glass
And I can't tell you child, "This too shall pass"
If all the world were windswept cold and grey
And in the end there's nothing left to say
If all the silicone, best laid plans
Became the master and the fall of man
If all the world were baked to hard red clay
It's not so far from where we are today
Ah well anyway
Come on darlin, let's swing n sway
Daddy gonna find us a better way
And if that better way don't float
Daddy gonna find us a tighter boat
And if that tighter boat don't sail
Grab a bucket, babe, and start to bail
And if that bucket spring a leak
Little miss, we're up the creek
What if fire come raining on the hills
And mountains made of rusting Coupe de Villes
And all God's children find themselves alone
And all the poets took to throwing stones
Guess we're on our own, no way out and no way home
Come on child, we can sing
Daddy gonna grab that ole brass ring
And if that ole brass ring don't fit
Daddy gonna get to fixin it
And if that ole brass ring stay broke
Daddy gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat don't bark
Give that goat the ole kick start
What if all tomorrow brings is ashes and glass
And I can't tell you child, "This too shall pass"
If those four horsemen can't be turned away
And everyone's too paralyzed to pray
Too paralyzed to pray
And the jury's out on judgement day
And there ain't nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
Come on darlin, we can fly
Daddy got a stack of alibis
An alibi shot full of holes
Little miss, let's rock n roll
And if that roll takes us to France
Teach them froggies how to dance
But keep on dancin sing the tune
Cuz We'll be dancin all around the moon
And if that big ole moon go bust
ashes to ashes babe n dust to dust
Maybe it's time for one last rave
And we'll be dancing on our own graves'
On our own graves
What if all tomorrow brings is ashes and glass
And I can't tell you child, "This too shall pass"
If all the world were windswept cold and grey
And in the end there's nothing left to say
If all the silicone, best laid plans
Became the master and the fall of man
If all the world were baked to hard red clay
It's not so far from where we are today
Ah well anyway
Come on darlin, let's swing n sway
Daddy gonna find us a better way
And if that better way don't float

BCS Update
Ga Tech title hopes took a hit ....no not because of their performance ( they rolled Jax State) but the ACC sucks and its obvious early....Va Tech lost to Alabama, MARYland got crushed by Cal......our in-state rival from the SEC Georgia lost to OK state...so our annual win over the dawgs in november looses some steam....coach Johnson does know it will take a perfect season to crack the BCS this year.
ND ? 35-0 over Nevada ....time will tell if that's impressive or not , Claussen looked good, but I still don't trust him, not sure why , he just seems sneaky.
Navy....heartbreakin loss definitely cost us a shot at the Natl title, although if we run the table , win another CIC Trophy, spank the Irish in South Bend (again!) we should be bowling come Christmas.

so close...
In CASE all you hucksters who like to poke fun at Navy Football missed it yesterday, the MIDSHIPMEN went into the horseshoe and were within a two point conversion of tying the #6 Team in the nation in the closing minute. there are no moral victories, but I was very impressed with our offense and pleasantly surprised with our run defense, I will take solace in the fact that we can hang on the road against a BCS school.....we are getting there, a national Championship is eminent.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Brian Rolle intercepted a potential two-point conversion in the closing minutes and returned it for two points the other way, helping No. 6 Ohio State hold off Navy 31-27 on Saturday.
A crowd of 105,092 - the largest ever to see the Buckeyes open a season - sat in stunned silence after the Midshipmen scored twice in just over 4 minutes to cut a 29-14 deficit to two points with 2:23 left in the game.
Navy went for the conversion and the tie, but Rolle stepped in front of Ricky Dobbs' pass and rumbled up the sideline to preserve the win in the Midshipmen's first trip to Ohio Stadium since 1931.

Hail Liev......
not to be outdone by the Bills, Bucs and Chiefs......Hail Liev is not waiting for the season opener.....we have FIRED Eggroll as our offensive Coordinator and replaced him with Dan Woods ESQ.......everybody knows DANO is more offensive.
you do the math
lets see.....three day weekend = 72 social hours, divided by one lonely six pack of corona = one beer every 12 hours......yikes.... this faux pas could cost our friend Hendry a return trip to Lake Wallenpaupack....
last time we were up there me and donnie drank a six pack on the walk up the gravel driveway for goodness sakes.

quadlibo
well this was an easy CASE to crack, it was all Brian Duffy's fault for unearthing the demon that lies within when he coerced me into drinking shots of JAMESON at the track on Thursday....the 48 hours of insanity that followed could have been lifed out of the summer of 1983 playbook...word for slurred word.....I have been stinking drunk for two full days, drinking shots like it was my job ...with no end in sight...

Danny weakens even more; some impacts still possible for the Outer Banks and eastern New England.
Tropical Storm Danny continues to weaken well off the Southeast U.S. Coast. As of 5 a.m. Friday, the center of Tropical Storm Danny was located 400 miles south of Cape Hatteras, NC.
Danny continues to struggle in a hostile environment, with an upper-level trough to the north and west, and shearing winds overtop the system.
Recent reports from a Hurricane Hunter Aircraft indicate Danny is barley holding on the tropical storm status, with the maximum winds now at 40 mph to the northeast of the center of circulation.
Danny is moving northwest near 10 mph. It should make a turn to the north and north-northeast later today into Saturday, while accelerating, as an upper-level trough deepens over the Central U.S.
Elevated surf and rip currents are already impacting areas from the northeast coast of Florida to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and this will continue through tonight. Increased surf and rip currents will spread toward the southern New England coast tonight into Saturday.
There remains a lot of uncertainty with the forecast track and intensity of Danny.

I see the Light
as the hulking Giant of a man that he is indeed, Jorma Kaukonen announed the arrival of Hot Tuna top the glorious shore with a thundering version of I see the Light, quite the jovial ol soul that he is , Jorma joked and poked fun at JACK all night, "see what happens when we let him drink that Jersey water" he quipped after Jack was overly demonstrative during one number.....all in all it was a spledid night at the Basie, ice cold delicious frosty beer flowed freely, and when it ran out....so did we.
In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night
It's good times now that I can see the light
On this road I'm walking on I see my way
Paradise I'm living for each and every day
'Bout the crossroads of the past, nothing more to say
It's good times now but we can see our way
In this sea I'm moving through, feel my life complete
With the one I'm living for time is, oh, so sweet
Feeling us together, living in the bright
It's good times now, we can see the light
In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night
It's good times now that we can see the light
In this world I'm living in I see the light
Sins are gone, now I know what is wrong and right
Morning came on slowly pushing back the night

oldies but goodies
my and Rico spring of 1980 on my back porch on 76th street , great day for drinking beer....Paul Maguire was the Mystery Photographer...I am wearing my 22 OLA jersey in Homage to the Great Dave Debuschere.
Strovika acting the part of Community Organizer , ensuring that everyone loaded the bus outside the Maritime Hotel in Montreal August 19?? ...i wanto say 1990 , but I am not certain..Craig stares in disbelief, obviously the first time he has seen a camera, PG joins me and Donny for the photo Op, and bare legible cogs is scurrying by in jis Purple Liev Vikings T-shirt, and the 20th hijacker is loading nitrogen bombs into his trunk right under our noses...that is a cigarette in my mouth, I refused to light it all weekend.
lyrics revisited
this is the song that Jorma wrote that pretold and actually initiated the breakup , or at least the leaving of Jorma and Jack from the Airplane, it's titled thrid week at the Chelsea, and he is going to play it (hopefully) tonight at the Count Basie.
Sometimes I feel like i am leaving life behind
My hands are moving faster than the movement of my mind
Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn
So we go on moving trying to make this image real
I hope that I will find them 'fore my moving gets too worn
Straining every nerve not knowing what we really feel
If only I could live to see the dawning of the dawn
Straining every nerve ending and everybody sees
That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be
And trying to avoid a taste of that reality
Showed to me a face I didn't know at all
On an early New York mornin' a mirror in the hall
When I looked into the mouth there was nothing left inside
Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide
So I walked into the little room and whistled like a sigh
As dawn light closed around me my head was still in gear
Thinking thoughts of playing more and singing loud and clear
Trying to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile
Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile
That often comes to haunt me in the morning
All my friends keep telling me that it would be a shame
To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name
Emptiness ain't where it's at and neither's feeling pain
Time is getting late now and the sun is getting low
But all I know is what I feel whenever I'm not playin'
Well now what is going to happen now is anybody's guess
If I can't spend my time with love I guess I need a rest
And sunshine's waiting for me a little further down the roadMy body's getting tired of carryin' another's load
Sometimes I feel like i am leaving life behind

fair is fair
It will never happen, but at his first press conference, this is the question that s/b asked of Mike Vick:
If you become the starting QB at some point, and the Eagles loose the game that you start, would you feel it is appropriate for the Eagles Ownership to Hang, Electrocute or drowned your sorry ass?
food for thought...

reason # 2,374,901 why islamic law sucks
Booze mum to be first woman to be caned in Malaysia 20/08/2009
A muslim model will become the first woman to be caned in Malaysia after admitting drinking beer.
An Islamic court has ordered that Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, be lashed six times. She was caught drinking alcohol in a raid on a hotel night club last year.
The married mum-of-one, who is being held in jail for a week, is not appealing against the sentence Prosecutor Saiful Idham Sahimi said: "This is the first case here. Under Islamic law a person who drinks commits a serious offence."

The Return of Favre
all around the NFL football fans were excited at the return of one of the greatest QB's and competitors of all time, the legendary , hall of famer himself, Brett Favre has decided to lace em up again with the Norsemen Tribe of St Paul.....drink, eat and drink like a Vikin Brett Arrghh!
as the man himself said...."I would hope that every teammate I ever played with would want me in a foxhole with him"
and they do.....except for the miserable, small minded, blame someone else for my failures, wheres the scapegoat, backstabbing J-E-T-S .....they turned on the injured legend in the closing weeks of the season, quit on him , and blamed him for everything from Manginny's "play not to loose' philosophy , to global warming.
Brett is the CLASS of the NFL , we wish you well, we hope to see you again in the NFC title game, and than GOD our last memory of you will not be wearing that silly jet uniform and being degraded by the likes of Lavernius Coles .
we will turn to Peter Rowan to sum it up for the jets.
If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done,
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun.
And the ocean is howling of things that might have been,
And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever
seen.

Daily Tailgate
I am happy to share with my loyal readers a great new website entitled Dailytailgate , and my nephew Ryan is co-founder , it looks pretty good if I do say so myself, it was just launched on 8/17 and you can sign up for a free daily email and you can register your 4 favorite teams on a seasonal basis to get out of market updates and inside tidbits.....definitely worth checking out, and I would certainly appreciate it if you took a few minutes to signup. Ryan is one of the writers and will be posting "rants" and articles, although i fear a philadelphia bias will SHINE through....and yes , that pun was intended.

MESSIER !! MESSIER !!
The Captain is back.
As an apprentice.
Mark Messier is rejoining the Rangers' organization as special assistant to club president Glen Sather, The Post has learned. It will mark Messier's first job in hockey -- and first full-time job, period -- since he ended his playing career following the 2003-04 season.
"I couldn't be more thrilled with the opportunity to move back to New York with my family, to learn from Glen and to work for the Rangers," Messier said yesterday by phone from the Bahamas. "I'm going to come in and get my feet wet and get an overview of how the business runs and how the team runs and take it from there."

now fast forward to Thursday....the eagles sign the puppy drowner, a real and immediate threat to mcnabb , and almost a guarantee that philly will NOT offer mcnabb a long term extension...this is real, this is food stamps being taken out of the former orangeman pockets, what would he do.....walkout of camp ? demand a trade or a reworked contract ? ? NOPE...he sez mike deserves a 2nd chance man , and he is giddy about the possibilities of being teammates , he welcomed to the city of "brotherly" luv .......wow r we to believe that mcnabb has matured? that he nOW bleeds philly green ?

Good news for the modern gal
Here’s another reason to have a beer – a recent study suggests that females who drink beer on a regular basis are less likely to suffer from osteoporosis, London’s Daily Telegraph reported.
The medical journal Nutrition says that beer has a high level of silicon, which slows down the thinning that leads to broken bones and helps form new ones.
Beer also has phytoestrogens, which are also good for keeping bones healthy and strong.
Scientists asked more than 1,000 women in their 40s about their drinking habits. They then scanned the women’s hands, and found the women who drank beer had denser hands and a better sense of humor.
“Silicon plays a major role in bone formation,” the researchers said. “Beer has been claimed to be one of the most important sources of silicon in the Western diet, an added plus is the euphoria of intoxication that follows if you drink enough."

The next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and black,
Big Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the back.
And Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blink,
The hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drink.
The only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of Hearts.

newfound respect for the equine racers
it was the longest mile, on a brutally hot day and an equally difficult surface, 100 brave souls and 1 pony, attacked the sacred oval of Monmouth Park, the oval of champins, the host of Haskell Heros throughout the years. I was afraid at first that the pony had laurangitis, but she was just a little horse, these photos are the only pieces of evidence that survived the day.thankfully there was plenty of cold beer at the finish line and throughout the day , and the Koots provided the soundtrack for a splendid day.

healthy scratch ? hogwash
There is no truth to the rumor that I was scratched from todays race at the Monmouth Oval, the rain will not play a factor...just like the Greatest of the Great before me ( Secretariat, Unbridled, Strike the Gold, Barbaro and Big Brwon) I shall run like the wind.....God Speed and Following Seas ....Eternal Father.

The Monmouth Mile
Tomorrow , in the first ever Monmouth Mile, watch "El Gato" live on TVG (Tracksdie Live) Television as I gallop with greatness around the sacred oval that is "Monmouth Park".
that's right friends, yours truly will be part of a select few to partake in the inaugural footrace around the horsey track , all to raise money for retired thoroughbreds, hows that for givin back.....seriously it is a very good cause , it is the Re-Run Foundation and they care for elderly racehorses and allow them to live out their golden years with dignity, I know we are in a recession, but if you can spare a few sheckles you will probably sleep better for it.
I will certainly be choked with emotion as I circle the hallowed ground , I will wear my BARBARO T-Shirt and wonder what could have been if that glorious Horse had lived to participate in the Haskell......check back here Monday for a full report and hopefully some nice snapshots.

at last.....some good news
as Loudon Wainright III would say.
"Squeaky's in Prison....I'm in Misery
That Little Red Riding Hood, she really does it for me"
can miss krenwinkle be far behind ?
for the record....squeaky just wanted to talk to Ford about the plight of California's Redwood Trees, if she really wanted to kill him she would have....maybe her, obama and Fords ghost can meet for a beer and hash this out.....obama can apologize for the malicous prosecution of Bugliosi and maybe even pardon Charley, Tex and Patricia,,,
HOUSTON — The Charles Manson follower convicted of attempting to assassinate President Gerald Ford is set to be released from a federal prison in Texas later this month after serving more than 30 years behind bars.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme was a 26-year-old disciple of the cult murderer Manson when she aimed a semiautomatic .45- caliber pistol at Ford in September 1975 in Sacramento, Calif. Secret Service agents grabbed her and Ford was unhurt.
Fromme, now 60, is scheduled to be released on parole from the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth on Aug. 16, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the court-appointed attorney who represented her at trial.
Fromme, who got a life term, became the first person sentenced under a special federal law covering assaults on U.S. presidents, a statute enacted after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Ford was walking to the California State Capitol from his hotel when Fromme pushed through the crowd, drew the pistol from a holster on her thigh and pointed it at the president as he shook hands with well-wishers. She was restrained by Secret Service agents who wrested the gun away from her and led the president to safety.
It was unclear why Fromme was at Carswell, a facility that specializes in providing medical and mental health services to female offenders. A spokeswoman for the bureau of prisons did not immediately return a phone call Wednesday seeking comment.
"I knew some day she would be released," said John Virga, the Sacramento attorney who handled her trial.
Fromme served time in at least two other facilities before Carswell.
She escaped from a female prison in Alderson, W.Va., on Dec. 23, 1987, and was recaptured about two miles away on Christmas Day after a massive search. She was sentenced to an additional 15 months in prison for the escape.
Fromme had said she escaped from prison to be closer to Manson.
Manson is serving a life term in San Quentin in California for the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and eight others. Fromme, one of his "family" of followers, was not implicated in those attacks.

Death is a friend of ours, and he that is not ready to entertain him is
not at home
Sir Francis Bacon
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used bring happy
death
Leonardo De Vinci
When the storm clouds gather 'round you, and heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end
And there's no one there to comfort you, with a helpin' hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Oh, the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation shines
In dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
And you search in vain to find just one law abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Bob Dylan
Keep your lamps trimmed and burnin for this old world she's almost done.

This ones for Gravey
well unfortunately the terrible rainfall seemed to prevent MR Dylan from Dedicating a 47 minute version of "if dogs run free" to my pal Gravey, but we know he meant to....quite possibly his lyrical Masterpiece..
If Dogs Run Free
If dogs run free, then why not we
Across the swooping plain?
My ears hear a symphony
Of two mules, trains and rain.
The best is always yet to come,
That's what they explain to me.
Just do your thing, you'll be king,
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, why not me
Across the swamp of time?
My mind weaves a symphony
And tapestry of rhyme.
Oh, winds which rush my tale to thee
So it may flow and be,
To each his own, it's all unknown,
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, then what must be,
Must be, and that is all.
True love can make a blade of grass
Stand up straight and tall.
In harmony with the cosmic sea,
True love needs no company,
It can cure the soul, it can make it whole,
If dogs run free.
If Dogs Run Free
If dogs run free, then why not we
Across the swooping plain?
My ears hear a symphony
Of two mules, trains and rain.
The best is always yet to come,
That's what they explain to me.
Just do your thing, you'll be king,
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, why not me
Across the swamp of time?
My mind weaves a symphony
And tapestry of rhyme.
Oh, winds which rush my tale to thee
So it may flow and be,
To each his own, it's all unknown,
If dogs run free.
If dogs run free, then what must be,
Must be, and that is all.
True love can make a blade of grass
Stand up straight and tall.
In harmony with the cosmic sea,
True love needs no company,
It can cure the soul, it can make it whole,
If dogs run free.
long live the KING
nobody says it better than Bob...

the presence of greatness
the one and only Bob Dylan graced the Jersey Shore with his presence last night , amidst howling winds and the deluge of the new century he belted out the below set list, reminding the world who is in charge, and what lies in store......the ultimate gentlemen Willie Nelson got the party started , followed by that communist cougar, and finnally the annointed one himself.....torrential downpours and hazardous flooding could not derail the energy that flowed through First Energy Park ...much like the river.

estadio Nueva de los janqueros.
and so we did in fact trek to the Bronix for an inuagural visit to the New Yankee Stadium , lot of memories of the old ballyard came flooding back , and seeing the old grand dame shuttered in black fish nettings was sad , but time wounds all heels and so it is forward we shall go further into the 21 st century fox, Stans was as good as ever, and on this day we had a capper in the original White Horse and enjoyed our brew under the watchful gaze of Dylan Thomas, befitting since a mere 30 hours later we would be in the presence of greatness of the one and only Robert Zimmerman.......ah but i digress, here is the kodachrome evidence.........one small point...we had lunch in the Hard Rock adjacent to the stadium....they always have a signature quote from a song....in this establishment thay choose Stevie Ray Vaughn ....i was befuddled, at first I thought that this being New York they should have a lyric from the rockin RAMONES , and then it really hit me....the bar is below the El , you hear the rumblings every 90 seconds...howz about new yorks own Paul Simon

one small step for man....
well Bob Dylan linked the landing to disaster that would surely follow....and who among you , can argue
Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please
And if things don't change soon, he will.
Oh, man has invented his doom,
First step was touching the moon.
Now, there's a woman on my block,
She just sit there as the night grows still.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill,
Then they bury him with stars,
Sell his body like they do used cars.
Now, there's a woman on my block,
She just sit there facin' the hill.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused,
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill.
All he believes are his eyes
And his eyes, they just tell him lies.
But there's a woman on my block,
Sitting there in a cold chill.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker,
Heartbreaker, backbreaker,
Leave no stone unturned.
May be an actor in a plot,
That might be all that you got
'Til your error you clearly learn.
Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled.
Oh, man is opposed to fair play,
He wants it all and he wants it his way.
Now, there's a woman on my block,
She just sit there as the night grows still.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please
And if things don't change soon, he will.
Oh, man has invented his doom,
First step was touching the moon.
Now, there's a woman on my block,
She just sit there as the night grows still.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill,
Then they bury him with stars,
Sell his body like they do used cars.
Now, there's a woman on my block,
She just sit there facin' the hill.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused,
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill.
All he believes are his eyes
And his eyes, they just tell him lies.
But there's a woman on my block,
Sitting there in a cold chill.
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker,
Heartbreaker, backbreaker,

I Presume
gonna mix up a nice batch of mimosa's with my scrambled eggs and settle into club Gato to watch Dr. Watson win the Brit...I presume.
if the Metropolitans do not fire omar before the trade deadline and allow for the new GM to start remaking this roster, it's time lost......and further evidence that Wilpon too Must Go..........BOYCOTT BOYCOTT.......empty seats and people turning down free tickets speaks louder than anything else.....otherwise , it's ten more years of mediocrity.

ol cronkite
not in honor , but in recognition of his passing , one can only hope that the GREAT Bob Dyalan pulls Black Diamond Bay out of his bag of trix this Thursday in Lakewood.
I was sittin' home alone one night in L.A.,
Watchin' old Cronkite on the seven o'clock news.
It seems there was an earthquake that
Left nothin' but a Panama hat
And a pair of old Greek shoes.
Didn't seem like much was happenin',
So I turned it off and went to grab another beer.
Seems like every time you turn around
There's another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
And there's really nothin' anyone can say
And I never did plan to go anyway
To Black Diamond Bay.

Officia Political Correspondent of Sweater Nite 12
the below appeared in the NY Post .....Ralph Peters of course....I wish he would run for office.
WHICH president spoke the following words?
"Where you have na tions that are oppressing their people, isn't there an international responsibility to intervene? I think the need for intervention becomes a moral imperative. . .
"There are going to be objections to just about any decision, because there are some in the international community who believe that state sovereignty is sacrosanct. . .
"But we also say we're not going to just wait indefinitely and allow for the development of a nuclear weapon, the breach of international treaties, and wake up one day and find ourselves in a much worse position and unable to act."
No, that wasn't George W. Bush justifying regime-change in Iraq. It was Barack Obama, speaking at a press conference in Italy last Friday. But his language and logic sounded as if he were channeling Bush.
Our president cited the British prime minister's anecdote about a boy who dreamed of becoming a doctor, only to be massacred. The tale was set in Rwanda. But it could have been the story of a Kurdish child gassed by Saddam Hussein.
It would have shown a flash of integrity had the media noted Obama's sudden adherence to the Bush Doctrine. But this isn't just about Gotcha! Two big things appear to be in play.
First, Obama's been getting a taste of strategic reality served up by just about every thug on the planet. (And the prez can't have been happy with the lecture he got last week from Russian strongman Vladimir Putin -- the O-Man prefers to do the lecturing himself.)
The second thing is that political hypocrisy governs our domestic criticism of war. Had Bill Clinton deposed Saddam Hussein -- who Clinton believed held weapons of mass destruction -- our left would have celebrated him as the greatest liberator since Lincoln.
The problem was never what we did in Iraq, but who did it. The crocodile tears for our troops were all about tearing down Bush.
Where are the cries of "Support our troops, bring them home!" now that Obama's president? We still have almost 200,000 service members in war zones, folks. The soldiers and Marines are just as dead -- yet somehow Bush's surge was bad, while Obama's surge is g

American Dream revised edition
perhaps the Ozark Mountain daredevils are right, maybe there is a "Beauty in the River". maybe we just need to downsize our expectations , stop focusing on the big picture and get back to enjoying the small stuff....turn a blind eye towards the utter mess this planet and this nation is in and instead bask in the Golden Glow of an American Ale.
I am off today , there is something special about having a day off midweek, today i will take solace in the bohemian melodies of the grateful dead and the only other voice i shall subject my ears to , is that of the track announcer at Beautiful Monmouth Park. A peaceful, quiet afternoon of wondrous beasts charging around the track, icey cold Delicious BEEEER and SUNSHINE......who knows , i may even hit a birthday superfecta ..3265... and skip away a tad wealthier.
I am bout to start Q ing my breakfast , a mouth watering batch of boneless spare ribs , grilled to perfection, marinated zucchini ( or is it cusini) yellow squash and onions over spanish rice......complimented by a Frozen Glass lovingly filled with Pete Coors original banquet beer.....I am on vacation , no need to worry about my belly and drink light beer.
as i type this , the song that changed my life just came on the stereo, a live circa 77 version of SUGAR MAGNOLIA.....and yes , my heart still skips a beet.....i gotta go.

Chris Higgins
I am intrigued....he looks like Amerikan, but he used to wear sweater of Canadiens...I am intrigued........who is this man who wears Malkin jerzey?
Rangers more importantly add Ryan Mcdonagh, the 12th pick overall in 2007 from St Paul MN, anytime you can add two Irish-Americans to your squad in exchange for a beaner, you done good archie.
Hers hoping the next 5 days are quiet and uneventful, I always get a lil nervous around Americas Birthday, Lord Knows our enemies are mounting and lurking, let's hope nothing happens, but I do know that you would never catch me on the mall for the fireworks.....
Tizzaclancygirlnow watch is officially on .....check back here for details.
