With the ongoing controversy about Barack Obama’s birth certificate – just amazing – it begs the question?
Is Obama unique? Or is there a problem for anyone born in the islands being able to produce their birth certificate?
Turns out the recent stamp by those ever competent government employees at the US Post Office – supposedly honoring the Statue of Liberty – instead shows the fake Statue of Liberty in Las Vegas.
“We still love the stamp design and would have selected this photograph anyway,” said the Post Office.
Um. Yeah right.
And the next time a stamp is issued honoring Elvis Presley the post office will use a photo of an Elvis impersonator.
Not a good start to the Super Bowl in Dallas.
First the NFL has to tell hundreds of fans arriving at the stadium they do not have a seat because the Dallas fire marshall did not approve new seat changes.
Hello? This wasn’t done weeks ago?
Can you imagine spending all that money only to be told here’s your money back?
And now Christina Aguilera messes up the words to the National Anthem.
Wonder if that negates all the national anthem bets in Vegas about how long it would be?
It is the time of year for businesses to send Christmas cards. Why? Sometimes I wonder if they know.
If you’re going to send me a Christmas card, send me a Christmas card. Please don’t get all politically correct about it.
The current list:
The Good
Newspaper deliverer – Christmas card that actually wished me a Merry Christmas. Has their address so this is a donation request in the form of a Christmas card. We’ll see.
Auto repair shop – I’ve given this place way too much business over the years. They sent a Christmas card that wished me a Merry Christmas with a reminder to keep the Christ in Christmas. Included were several coupons I could use or pass out to friends. Excellent, excellent, excellent. By the way, the repairs at this place are also excellent. If you need a coupon let me know.
The Bad and the Ugly
Western Health Advantage health insurer – this bland “holiday barf” card was written by some bureaucrat. After some self-promotional crap written in 3 and 4 syllable words in long run-on sentences, they offer a joyous holiday season and New Year. No mention of Christmas. In other words, my newly jacked up insurance premiums starting last week are being wasted.
Sacramento Zoological Society – Donation request in a card titled “Warm Winter Wishes”. Barely even mentions the “holiday season” in the card. The politically correct donation request just hit the trash.
ShareASale – Happy Holidays, and here are some charities we contributed to. At least it had personal signatures. Otherwise: bland safe boring.
Commission Junction – Horrible looking Happy Holidays card sent right before Christmas with no chance of actually arriving on time. Has something scribbled inside, I think it starts “Bush” then is illegible. Then it says ‘Best Wishes’ and then the signature is also illegible. That’s what happens when cards are mass signed without really caring why it is sent or who it is being sent to.
10. The Hoodie. Dude, you’re 34 and younger than some players. Show that you deserve some respect and authority.
9. Stupid stuff like refusing to disclose obvious injuries. When your linebacker is standing there with his shoulder in a sling, saying the player has an unspecified upper extremity injury of unspecified magnitude is juvenile.
8. Too Many Roles. When Shanahan was let go the Broncos said having the roles of coach and GM was too much. So the Broncos effectively gave the same roles to a kid who had never held either position. He was in way over his head.
7. Bad draft moves. Too many to mention.
6. Bad roster moves. Too many to mention.
5. Personality clashes with all-pro players and a top defensive coach. Nothing like driving away the team’s best.
4. Spygate II. If anyone knew the importance of not taping other teams and reporting the infraction, it should have been McDaniels and the video guy involved in the first Spygate. Total utter stupidity.
3. Looking at the worst record in Denver in 40 years. Even worse than Dallas this year.
2. Losing to the Raiders 59-14 at home. A coach with an ounce of integrity would have committed hari kari on the spot.
1. Never really being a Bronco and losing the fans. Enough of the steady stream of players and coaches from the Pats. He showed more emotion about beating the Patriots last year than losing to the Raiders. Helloooo, look it up – the Broncos have owned the Patriots for decades. Nice wins, but who cares.
Shanahan was a loved coach because he had a blood lust for Al Davis. John Elway would sacrifice salary to help get other players for the team. Shanahan still does commercials for Denver businesses. For McDaniels, though, it was all about him.
