but when I got downstairs Joe Scarborough making fun of Bill McCollum’s plan concerning Illegal aliens.
His point about him trailing and trying to make up ground with this is valid but saying his plan involves having them wear something yellow on the shirt just here and advising illegals “not to get on the train, they’re not taking you to Kissimmee.”
Joe I like ya but C’MON!
If I’m Imus I’m playing this clip over and over and over for the next week.
See what happens when Mika takes a week off?
Baseball Musings announced the death of Pirates Announcer Nellie King. I wasn’t familiar with the man but something in the post on his death struck me.
He pitched two outstanding seasons in 1955 and 1956, and then was out of baseball after the 1957 season.
I looked at his stars from baseball reference.com and his stats looked ok.
What struck me was the 4 seasons and out. If he came up today he might have made enough to live pretty comfortably and with current sports medicine the injury (of which I have no details about) might have only shelved him for a season or less.
Then again the pirates would have been deprived of a fine announcer.
Pretty soon we will run out of players who played under the old reserve clause and there will be nobody with actual baseball experience to remind young ballplayers just how lucky they are to have been born after 1970.
My latest Examiner column Out Gunn-ed Everywhere man is now up at my examiner page a peek:
Years ago Olver produced an ad which was a take off of the country song I’ve been everywhere emphasizing how many places in the state he has been to and worked for. It is still one of the best ads of its type I’ve ever seen. As the ad doesn’t mention an opponent or a year it is regularly rolled out each election. FactCheck.org even gave it an award in 2008.
However the I’ve been everywhere theme might be overplayed Viking Pundit explains:
“Every two years, this guy blows the dust off of his campaign commercial which is simply themed “I’ve been everywhere.” Except he hasn’t held any town hall meetings anywhere in Massachusetts’ First District. The first and last time he visited any towns in Western Massachusetts was to shoot that damned commercial.
It is a first rate ad but it looks like it will take more than that to ensure a 20th straight year of democratic control of the MA-01.
And just to remind everyone. My examiner columns are currently my only source of paid income (other than the occasional pc fix) I’m paid by the hit so every time you read one of my columns or you forward it for someone else to read it’s like dropping a penny (well almost a penny) in DaTipJar.
Of course if you want to kick into DaTipJar outright or hire me to write, that’s very welcome too.
