Sunday

SDFM and I went into DC yesterday to do the tourist thing and had a blast. The Marine Corps marathon was winding down as we were headed back to the house and we were stuck on the Metro with an ass-load of idiots. Other than that the trip was perfect.

When we got home THE BOY and FDSM were playing soccer in the cove. THE BOYFRIEND showed up and THE WOMAN came out too. It was good ‘family time’. BOYFRIEND even stayed for dinner.

Saturday Morning Dose of Common Sense

Two days ago I was one of the guys coming down on the Air Force coach for sounding like a racist pig. Understanding that the Academy is suffering an image problem right now, I’d think that the most public figure on campus (the head football coach) would be a bit more careful with his words. What he said was twisted by the Politically Correct crowd into something more than what was said.

This morning in the Post Wilbon came to DeBerry’s defense. In an article full of common sense he not only defended the coach, but politely blasted Hank Aaron. Aaron has been the champion of blacks in baseball since the day he made his first major league roster. Maybe he has a right to complain about the lack of black guys playing baseball, but only because he worked so hard to make it possible for them to play.

The reality is black guys don’t really want to play baseball anymore. They are more geared to basketball, it’s the cool game these days. Today’s lifestyle is based more on speed and flash than it is patience and strategy. Basketball appeals to the people living that lifestyle, baseball doesn’t. The reality is also that at the moment, and this could change in the next five years, black guys are faster than white guys. That’s why the college coaches recruit them, and that’s why the NFL owners draft them.

Like Wilbon said:

Almost always now, the best players prove themselves to be the best
players, whether they’re black quarterbacks, white cornerbacks or
Argentine basketball players.

It don’t get much simpler than that.

Ahead Warp Factor Four, Captain

Like we didn’t already know this:

George Takei, who was “Star Trek’s” Sulu has come out as a homosexual.

It was pretty clear even back in the day that something was up with Sulu. He just smiled a little too much when ever Kirk ordered him around. Clearly a submissive, and way too damn happy to have ended up in a 1980’s San Fransico in the fourth movie. All the clues were there for us.

Now if Picard will ‘fess up everything will be in the open.
