In cold enough way down yonder to consider a big ole pot of gumbo for dinner this evening. Gumbo is a whole bunch of “stuff” blended smartly over a long cooking time. As are the sports nuggets below. If you’re a health nut what’s better than 10 Piece Nuggets early and gumbo late? No need …
When you’re hot, you’re hot. And, through nine weeks Abby is en fuego. As November rolls in her record stands at 33 wins and 23 losses, and 51 impressive bones won versus only 32 lost. And, hopefully, her hunch won you a bunch last week. It stands tall at 7-1. Hopefully, she didn’t spend too …
Ok, it’s time for Congressional Jeopardy. Welcome, everyone! What a great group of contestants we have today. Let’s get started. Madame Speaker, please select. “I’ll take Marketing 101 for $100.” This game-changing business owner famously declared “focus groups are worthless, we know what our consumers want more than they do.” Senator Manchin buzzes in. “Who …
United Airlines marketed the jingle “fly the friendly skies.” And, one pilot of United’s very worthy adversary, Southwest Airlines, should have taken note, perhaps. We write “perhaps” because, in spite of AP reporter Collen Long’s outrage expressed on her Twitter account, there is no clear-cut audio or video of the reported SWA pilot uttering “Let’s …
Rush Limbaugh used to mockingly refer to the NBC Sunday morning news show as “Meet the Depressed.” Perhaps it is an apropos name even if just for a week for the party in power. Yesterday, Halloween Day, host Chuck Todd delivered some scary news for Democrats. An October 23-26 NBC News poll was discussed and …
Last week Abby was downright crabby. Coming off of only her second losing week in eight was one thing. But, labor shortages in her department are another. This lack of staffing caused a deadline error that accidentally omitted her hunch bet. She won, but it doesn’t count if it’s not published. Regardless, she had a …
Hook, line, and sinker. It’s all there for your eyes to peruse the ruse in one sentence. Wear some sunglasses though. “It seems to me almost every sensible progressive revenue option that the President wants, that the American people want, that I want, seems to be sabotaged,” he said. He would be Bernie Sanders, of …
Thoughts sometimes enter and exit the cranium rather randomly. Today is one of those times. A deadline nears. The White House says that they don’t know anything about the “Let’s Go Brandon!” cheers erupting from coast to coast. This hardly seems possible. Although, until last month they may have never heard of Del Rio either. …
Skunked! Well not totally, but Abby’s picks stunk at a minimum last week. The only thing you can do when a dog gets skunked is to wash her down with some tomato juice and hope that it doesn’t happen again. Luckily she has a lot of padding on her paws to cushion the 2-6 performance …
Last evening Lefty and Shorty were all but ready to close the Gulf Station. It was a clear cool night, but cars were nowhere to be found as most folks likely were home watching the MLB playoffs. Lefty- Welcome back. A week-long vacation is a long time. Shorty-Thanks, I think. Lefty sat to the left …
