Epitaph for a Douchebag Dynasty

If you haven't had the opportunity to watch any of the Republican National Convention (so far) your very limited time offer is just about over. At some point in the dark of the East Coast, late tonight, I suspect well after it was supposed to actually end, the Clorox Kool-Aid Konvention will be well and truly done and I can only hope that we will go forth and be better people afterward. 

Not that there's a snowball's chance in hell of that happening if you watched any of it, by the way, but as the GOP is fond of saying, 'if you're gonna pull an All-Whiter, we're the party to do it with!" 

I wouldn't waste the spit if would take to drown the Beige Buffoon and the Grifters and Grafters whose behavior he's validated just by his existence, but you be you. And if you have an oversized sense of grievance, feel that women need to know their place, believe that the world has changed too Goddamn much already, and what the hell do all these brown and black people want anyway? then the Mango Mussolini is your choice and voice.

So go ahead and climb behind the wheel of that Trumpmobile 2020. It runs on beautiful, clean coal and runs over anything and anyone that gets in its way. And maybe the Founding Fathers would weep to see what has become of their republic, but they were mostly losers, anyway. And around here #WINNING is everything, even if, by design, it's not for everyone.

Aus der Traum

From the wonderful world of American professional sports, proof again that every day is different if not better. The biggest difference perhaps between today and yesterday is that the career of Tim Tebow who has had a Rake's Progress in the National Football League as a New England Patriot has come to an end.

He woke up yesterday morning still with the team. By mid-afternoon, he was thanking everyone for the opportunity such as it was. When you're trying to make a roaster with a Tom Brady on it, from what I understand of US pro football (which isn't much), it's like being asked to play piano on a Jerry Lee Lewis record. And if you don't know much about rock and roll, that invitation is a suicide mission.

Tebow will start the post-Labor Day work week the way a lot of us have in recent years in this economy, looking for a job. It doesn't make any difference if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there's plenty of blame to go around for the problems we're having so why bother? Blame isn't going to put people back on payrolls.  

I read an article a lot of folks who had careers in the NFL are hitting the bricks this weekend-enough talent was released suggested someone on a sports radio station I accidentally tuned to, to form three more teams. Not necessarily the news a guy like Tim Tebow, or any of the other players without jobs, really wants to hear.
