In Vampire Mode, and Nadal's Nike Curse: The Clown of the Courts

Time for Spring Break..aka...The Monte Carlo Tennis Tournament. Since there is a 9 hour time difference, that means going into "Vampire" mode,....up all night and sleeping until noon. This will also be the time to see if the Nike Curse,on Rafa Nadal, will finally be broken. Ever since Nike began tinkering with Nadal's tennis attire the guy hasn"t won a title...even the Sports Commentators have taken to critizing his "horrendous" costumes! Nike has taken a great young player and turned him into the Clown of the Courts....shame on them. This young man has won 5Grand Slams and 35 other championships, all by the age of 23...you would think that Nike would have more resect for him.....but obviously they are too busy trying to polish up Tiger's image.

Oy Vey! Nike is still at it.......as one sport's announcer said..."these (blue and white plaid) shorts would look right at home on a Scottish Links, but at Monte Carlo,NO!" Nike should spend their time and energy(?) on making Rafa a pair of tennis shorts that actually FIT rather than how outlandish, and ugly, they can be! He is a brave lad for even appearing on court in those disgraceful rags!

Tiger Woods, Morality and Money

Is anyone else as sick of the Tiger Woods saga as I am? Every damn TV show spends more time on this self-centered,egotistical bozo than they do on real news! So he can hit a hole with a golf ball...its not as though he has done anything to benefit the world...enuff already!

Do you think that the United States of America, as it is today, will still be in existance in 100 years?

When Money walks in the door, morality and ethics join hands and fly out the window.....case in point....the latest ad from Nike regarding Tiger and his deceased father. Apparently going to the uttmost extreme to refurbish the tarnished image of their money making "idol" is just fine and dandy. Morality be damned!.

Poker is NOT a Sport!

Can we get real?....Poker is a "sport"? By what criteria does that make sense? It requires no athletic ability, acuity or physical prowess....if all of those things don't matter then, taking into consideration all the years I've spent playing gin rummy and solitaire, I must be a great sportswoman.....even if I can't walk 50 yards to my mailbox and have the eye to hand coordination of a newt....Ha or rather, Bah! Humbug!!

Health Reform Bill: Know the Facts

For God's sake, know the FACTS! I heard one woman's angry response to the passing of the Health Reform bill in which she ranted "I don't want anyone (i.e. government) coming between my f---ing doctor and me"...doesn't she realize, or understand, that the final say-so about her health care is NOT in her doctor's hands but that it lies solely with the accountant at her insurance company? ..If you are going to protest at least know what the facts are!..

Utterly Bizarre Do-Nothings

A new Party in town...."The Do-Nothings"......does anyone else find this utterly bizarre? An ex-governor, who quit half way through her term is campaigning for a senator, who recently said that he wasn't going to do anything, in the senate, for the rest of his term. . . How little those two must regard the intelligence of the voters.
