just sports

What is it about athletes that makes them think they can beat the system? DEE GORDON, the defending NL batting champion, tested positive for PED's and got suspended 80 games by MLB and becomes ineligible for post season play, should the MARLINS make it that far. what a moron. exactly how stupid do you have to be to think you can beat the testing system? Someday, MLB will make the penalty for cheating very simple. you use, you lose. done. finished. no more paychecks. forever.

When's the last time we've had this much fun in chicago for the opening month of baseball? both the CUBS & the WHITE SOX are playing good baseball which is extremely rare. both teams are very likeable for a change and it appears team chemistry is a positive in both locker rooms and the cubs should be very proud to have a great offense and the second best pitcher in town.  hopefully, the fun continues on both sides of town.

just curious.  are the cubs interested in JOHN DANKS? we'll pay you to take him. what a waste of human flesh.

So the BEARS picked a SHEA MCCLELLAN clone in the first round. wonderful. too light for a defensive end and has trouble maintaining his 245 weight and got pushed around at GEORGIA when they played bigger teams. my guy was SHAQ LAWSON from CLEMSON but the bears passed on him. arrrrrrrrgggggggh.

the MIAMI DOLPHINS drafted a keg of dynamite in offensive tackle LAREMY TUNSIL, whose recent personal history includes beating his disabled step-father, smoking a bong on video, being sued by the step-dad and throwing OLE MISS staffers under the bus by admitting to the media on draft night they gave him money while he was a member of the football team. uh-oh. hello, NCAA?

the BLACKHAWKS said goodbye but once the NHL announces the new salary cap, GM STAN BOWMAN will get to work doing what he does best which is rebuilding the team every couple of years. despite his playoff meltdown and suspension, i think ANDREW SHAW is staying but they probably can't afford ANDREW LADD.  the multi-talented RICHARD PANIK should be affordable.

done for now but more to come.

this & that

CARLY FIORINA??????????????? just how desperate is TED CRUZ? well, you got you answer last night. after getting his butt kicked in the eastern primaries tuesday night, cruz had to do something drastic but what was he thinking?

fiorina, cursed with permanent 'hang dog bitchy face' has never held political office and personally ran HEWLETT-PACKARD into the ground as an incompetent CEO where under her watch, hp lost half of it's stock value before she was forced to resign.  upon her resignation, the stock ROSE almost 7% the first day. that say anything to you?

what has she accomplished? well, she was an advisor to JOHN McCAIN'S presidential campaign and we all know how well that turned out. she lost a 2010 senatorial bid in california and then got crushed in this year's primaries. and this is who cruz wants to be second in command? yikes.

many moons ago, the democrats tried the same crap when they selected GERALDINE FERRARO as the running mate for a very weak WALTER MONDALE but the public also saw thru that ruse and crushed the ticket on election day. if you have any stones, tell everyone who your running mate is going to be when you enter the primaries, not when you're in trouble.
***************************************
TRUMP vs HILLARY! LET'S GET IT ON!!!!!
****************************************
former speaker of the house DENNIS HASTERT is very lucky that i'm not wearing the black robes because that degenerate would have died in prison for molesting those boys while he was a high school wrestling coach in illinois. the only thing worse than a catholic priest is a teacher who violates their positions of trust.
******************************************
now i'm more than a little confused. we all know that the word "nigger" is absolutely forbidden in society because it conjures up the images of slavery & a race beaten down & deprived for ages. chicago alderman DAVID MOORE, who is black, used the word freely on monday when describing a group who ousted a local principal from his job. "stay in your place, nigger" was his quote when describing the principal's fight with city hall and how the administration handled it. "and i don't apologize.   huh. wonder what the reaction would be if a white alderman said that.
*************************************
PRINCE.  natural death or another rock & roll death?
****************************************
duh. after years of scoffing at the idea, chicago has finally arrived in the millenium and decreed that vacant buildings will now be 'boarded' up with PLEXI-GLASS. you can obviously see thru it to determine any unlawful entry has been gained plus plexi-glass doesn't burn.  good morning. duh 
**************************************
just checked out THE NIGHT MANAGER, a six part tv series that airs once a week. after two episodes, so far so good. 
****************************************
once again, i see that chicago is running an inner city summer jobs program to help 'at risk' kids stay off the streets. don't they realize that members of the jungle make about $300 a week CASH just running drugs from one place to another? and i'm not talking about a dealer, just a runner.  so i'm pretty sure that the jungle people will ignore the offer to work for minimum wage. again

i'm tired.  later

CLEANING OUT THE CLOSET

I was cleaning out the closet the other day and came across some of my old police notebooks and thought i would see how some of the people in the book were doing today. 

i arrested AUDIS CAGLE for the first time on a burglary charge when he was 12 years old and continued to arrest him until he was finally sentenced to 4 years in prison when he was 17. after his release, he figured he'd start over and moved to tennessee. where is audis today? serving SIXTY YEARS in tennessee for armed robbery.  some people never learn.

how about TINA GALLO? sleazebag welfare queen who wins the freaking lottery and disappears to california.  just found out after two years of cashing lottery checks, with a blood alcohol of .25 and heroin in her system, she drove her new car into a tree at 60 mph.  ouch.  

but it's not all bad news.  BILLY SIMPSON was a thief and a doper without a father and six siblings.  took him to a ball game with a couple other wayward 'utes' and stayed in contact with him and watched him realize there was a better way to deal with his problems. today, FATHER BILLY is a priest just outside of new orleans and he spends most of his time working with at-risk kids. nice.

that's all i've got today.  later.

POLITICS & MORE

I have to lead with DONALD TRUMP again because he's a public relations nightmare who obviously suffers from 'foot in mouth' disease and it re-occurs on a regular basis. a small sample of who trump has attacked include the pope, muslims, mexicans, women who get abortions, the media, MEGYN KELLY, and most recently pro golfer JUSTIN SPEITH, widely known as the nicest person on the tour who had one really bad hole on sunday and lost the master's tournament. "he choked. i know it and so does he. couldn't handle the pressure" was how trump attacked the kid on monday. like speith didn't feel bad enough already.

trump had the nomination locked up if he had kept his mouth shut for the last two months but now, with his popularity falling, he faces a brokered convention and if that happens, the republican party will derail his train in favor of a compromise candidate.  book it.

How about OHIO GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH for president?? well, hold your horses.............Just when i thought DONALD TRUMP had cornered the market on making stupid comments, kasich, when asked how he would combat sexual violence on campus, told the questioner that he would tell females to avoid parties where there's a lot of alcohol served. WHAT?  oh that's right. rapists never attack sober females. silly me.

in sports, the playoffs have started in hockey and basketball which means you'll see your other half around the end of june.

girls, here's my yearly helpful hint with the warm weather coming this weekend. the shorts and tops that don't seem to quite fit you any more were not cursed by the clothes fairy but rather the CALORIE MONSTER, who shows up each winter and broadens your horizons. 

NOW READ CLOSELY: if the clothes that don't fit today still don't fit by MEMORIAL DAY, then it's over. 1) drive straight to GOODWILL and drop off all those clothes that USED to fit you and 2) then drive to WAL-MART and buy some cheap shorts and tank tops until you decide when you're going to stop gaining weight.   and NO, you don't look good squeezed into those size 7's when you're now a 9. or 11.

got some little nephews or nieces? take them to see ZOOTOPIA, an animated film about a rabbit who becomes a police officer.  it's only 90 minutes so your brain won't melt like it normally does when watching kid movies. and there are no songs that will stick in your head the rest of the week.

i have more but i'm tired.  later.
