Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Like many Patriots fans I hoped the team would use either the 23rd or 31st pick on QB Lamar Jackson. However, as I am not qualified to be an NFL GM and New England has enjoyed a small amount of success over the years - I will trust that Bill Belichick knows what he's doing... Staring at boobs is one of six easy ways for men to live longer. Yay! Boobs! (Although I think number three on the list can just as easily lead to an early death for men)... Heh heh... Congrats to Red Sox great Kevin Youkilis on going back to college to get his degree... Seven reasons Donald Trump should pardon Martha Stewart. Would love to see this happen... I would really like to see a KFC commercial with Jeff Goldblum as the Colonel... Black women were more likely to be married than white women until 1970. That's when they started voting for the Democrats. Just saying... 

Barry Bonds

Barry Bonds has been indicted for perjury. I hate to say it but I told you so. This is what I wrote back in 2004:

We all know that our legal system is dodgy - especially when the defendants have the money for high powered attorneys. The BALCO stuff may get thrown out but one thing that is not dodgy is the truth. If Barry Bonds lied to the Feds under oath and they can prove it - he'll end up going to jail just like Martha Stewart.

Remember - Martha Stewart did not go to jail for insider trading (which is what the original investigation was about), she went to jail for lying to the Feds. Barry won't go to jail for taking steroids, he'll go to jail for lying about taking steroids.

Somebody has to be the fall guy here and Barry was a main target all along. Plus how sympathetic do you think a jury will be to Barry? About as sympathetic as a jury was to Martha maybe?

Barry is going to jail.
