Reds & Skaleenees

Soon everybody may give up blaming someone else, a symptom of narcissism. Mitt blaming Barack for causing him to lose the election was over the top. 

This map makes no sense. Neat but meaningless. At least, whoever did it colored in the lines. But it's meaningless --


-- because Florida is so 50/50 that if, on the way to the polls on election day, three cars had had a flat tire , we would have been Red instead of Blue. Whatever, this is a better map for the GOP to work with -- either get busy, guys,



or RIP with Millard Fillmore and the Whigs.


Gaza and Israel are perpetually warring because after WWII the big nations ripped the Palestinians out of their homeland, deported them to eternal refugee camps and there abandoned them, and gave their land to become Israel. The resentment and hatred are beyond time and resolution. 

From the beach car show a friend sent me pics of a 1957 Ford Skyliner. 




Ford Skyliner was a retractable convertible offered for 1957, ’58 and ’59





Blue 1958 above, red 1959 below




More than half a century later the retractable convertible top design is perfected in VW, Volvo, Pontiac, Chrysler, Mazda and other convertibles. Original, Ford Skyliner. Not Skyline.

Skyline is the chili chain in Cincinnati. Skyline. Better pronounced “skaleenees.” In Cincy it's Skaleenees and the Reds.





On a bitter cold day in January 2010 I stopped in Cincinnati and had a Skaleenee's cheese coney just like that.

Rooting favorites today. Stanford Cardinal, Sam Houston, Wake Forest, Baylor. Rooting not betting.


Sunday School tomorrow: like the annual Going Out Of Business sale, the annual End of Time.
