Stay The Course

My local Football teams likes to think that it has a running game. All the other defensive coordinators around the league know that we don't. The result is usually that we get stuffed for a 5 yard loss. We are halfway through the season and our record is a dismal 2 wins and 6 losses. We still hope to make it in to the playoffs.
The other day Coach gave a speech to the nation, I mean team. We are going to stay the course. We are going to keep pounding the ball up the middle because everyone knows that the only way to win this thing is to have a good running game and the only way to have a good running game is to have one. Coach says once the other teams see our running game they will be filled with shock and awe and that will open up the passing game.

Proposition 77 Space Invaders

Bob Dylan once noted in It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry “Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost”. Well I’m not laughing and this train is officially lost. Arnold the Big Austrian Big Idea Man has determined that we need to redistrict in the middle of the decade. Not only that, but it turns out that it is one of his big ideas to reform California. A panel of three (3) retired and impartial judges will man the Ouiji Board. Now as I see it they can be retired or they can be impartial, but they can not be both at the same time. Substitute 3 Venezuelans or 3 Space Aliens and it makes just as much sense. At least the Space Aliens would wipe the maps clean…now that’s real reform.!

Paid for by Venezuelans and Space Aliens for reform.
