Tuesday night can't come soon enough. I have been subjected to enough political advertising this election season that if I never see another campaign ad it won't be soon enough.
The "campaign ads" have been nothing but half truths, outright lies and political attacks. I really don't recall any race in which both major party candidates have refrained from attacking each other. One of the most annoying things about this garbage is apparently these idiots running for office think we believe their crap. In a five minute span this afternoon, 10 political ads for several candidates were broadcast on a local TV station. Each of the 10 ads was deceptive, misleading and only half true. Come on already politicians, do you really expect us to vote for you after you insult our intelligence? But, the problem is in many of the contested races both the Democratic and Republican candidates are equally arrogant in their treatment of the voters and continue to use their 30 second propaganda pieces to slander their opponent.
I have decided to just not vote for either the Democrat or Republican when they act like idiots while they are courting my vote. Just think how they will treat me after one of them gets elected. So, if there is a Tea Party candidate or third party candidate I will vote for them.
Maybe if the Democrats and Republicans grew up and acted like adults the Tea Party wouldn't be growing so rapidly and this country would be in a lot better shape.

No OU Didn't
That was the headline this morning in the Columbia Tribune after the Missouri Tigers defeated Oklahoma 36-27 last night. The Tigers offensive and defensive lines beat Oklahoma's lines and the Tigers prevailed. I have to say I have been going to Missouri games for a long long time and the stadium was electric as I have ever felt it last night. And when the Tigers ran the opening kickoff back for a TD, it was an unbelievable atmosphere.
The Tigers are now 7-0 which is their best start since 1960. Rather than go into detail about the game read a fine account of it written by the "Columbia Tribune's" football beat reporter Dave Matter.
MIZ-ZOU RAH!!!

How 'Bout Them Tigers!
My beloved Missouri Tigers ran their unbeaten streak to six this afternoon with a surprisingly easy 30-9 win over Texas A&M down in College Station. Missouri played, what I think is, their best game of the season to date. The offense, defense and special teams were outstanding. The Tigers jumped to a 16-zip halftime lead and tacked on two more TDs in the second half.
With the win the 19th ranked Tigers will come home next weekend to host the Oklahoma Sooners who are also undefeated. There are rumors that ESPN's "Game Day" will finally make it to Columbia and that the game will be on in prime time. (Even if it doesn't start at seven, ABC has said the game will begin at 2:30 as part of it's national coverage package).
So, yep, I am pumped about the Tigers. M-I-Z!!!

Nothing Too Exciting Here
I am just curious about how much influence keywords have when directing a Google search to a particular blog. Maybe that's why you ended up here.
There are no nude pictures of hot babes, there are no naked pictures of TV or movie starlets and there are no articles about scandals in the world of entertainment here. Just a run of the mill blog that's trying to see how Google finds this stuff. Now go away you perv.

The Stinky Bird Season Ends
The St. Louis Cardinals as you know missed the playoffs losing out by a half dozen games to the Cincinnati Reds, who also bowed out of Post-Season play in quick fashion. The whole division sucked this year.
But, back to the purpose of this post. I had said the Cardinals would win their division easily back in April. But, I also said injuries could put a damper on that activity. Well, key injuries to the four and five starter positions and the loss of David Freese at third base due to injuries contributed to the team's eventual downfall. In addition the bullpen struggled and the team's management didn't really help out very much when players were needed to fill the gaps.
It's history now, but I keep thinking of what might have been. Oh well, there's always next year.

Hello There
It's been over a month since my last post and there are several reasons for that. First I have been incredibly busy with work and volunteer work.
In addition with sporting events on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays there has been little time for much else but taking care of the yard and house. So, I promise to write again soon when I have more time. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned.
