Just Wonderin'

TNB is resuming his blog a few days earlier than announced (hey, campaigns are sometimes resumed before financial crises are solved) partially to add a few more sins for which to atone.

Probably you haven't been so perplexed, but lately TNB has been just wonderin' (not a typo--wondering is no longer an acceptable spellin' or pronounciation) about the followin':
  • Maybe the Cubs tanked to allow TNB to devote his energies to seein' that Josephine Sixpack is promptly returned to the Arctic--permanently.
  • Maybe the slogan "Wait Til Next Year" could be banned. Repeat ten times--"Next Year Will Never Come". You'll feel better.
  • Maybe Lou Piniella was right when he allegedly told two of his overpriced "stars" (Alfonso Soriano and Aramis Ramirez) that they lacked "cojones".
  • Maybe the best pair of cojones currently on display belongs to Ms. Trailer Park Trash who recently riled up a redneck Florida crowd against Obama to the extent that one man in the crowd yelled out "kill him" and others hassled an African-American TV crew member (whose sin was obviously his color). These are Wasilla middle class values? She's fit to be Vice President??
  • Maybe the World's Greatest Hockey Mom needs to visit an eye doctor to check on that annoyin' winkin'. BTW --just wonderin' about all the other Moms (soccer, ballet, orchestra), some of whom might be actually doin' this work daily. Sister Sarah's oldest hasn't needed a driver for several years, her #2 is likely not playin' hockey these days while registerin' for her weddin' and so on. Just who is she drivin' to hockey practice (if anyone is behind the wheel, it's her dude or maybe now the Secret Service)? It's time to retire the slogan which is just so much BS, like everything else about her.
  • Maybe at the next debate, John McCain will mention her instead of (about 4 times) his house Jew, Joe Lieberman. While Joe's in Temple (he needs some serious atonement) what will the Last Angry Man do for advice? Certainly he won't ask The Least Angry Man whom he condescendingly referred to as "that one" during last night's "debate". Poor John--having to share the limelight with someone "not like us" (not difficult to excite certain elements of the electorate, is it?). And if he says "my friends" one more time? OMG.
  • Maybe George W. after hearin' the GOP ticket bash him relentlessly, will endorse "That One". That would probably be the Kiss of Death (see above) and just the type of October surprise that the Democrats fear.

Obviously, our ancestors were wise in their knowledge that sins would always be available for atonement.

I haven't seen any ratings for the debate but I can't imagine that people found it all that interesting. It seemed like it contained the greatest hits of each of them (with a little Theodore Roosevelt wackiness thrown in -- what the *&^% was that about?). Palin's appearances represent the worst that is the USA -- racism, intolerance, and xenophobia. I cannot wait for her to leave the public stage to go back to Wasilla. G'Mar Tov!

As a resident of Clearwater, FL, but still a Cubs fan, I would like to say, (1) How about those Tampa Bay Rays?! They had the worst record in baseball when Lou was manager. What a turnaround! Is there a lesson here? (2) I am embarrassed that Wasilla's most infamous appeared here in Clearwater the other day. She drew about 4,500 people (probably an exaggeration), though that would not have filled the park where she appeared. It's scary to think, however, that I live among 4,500 crazy people.

Saw TNB's comment on Ragen's blog,very nicely done but why give her any more attention?

Now that you have a new reader from the Tampa Florida area, we may get new insight into the Florida voter. Sarah really took Clearwater by storm. She is such a celebrity now, just like Paris Hilton.

Sorry about the Cubs but if it brought ya back to bloggin then we are grateful.

Have a good fast and L'shana Tova all you TNB readers.
