Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Will the NFL's blatant lies about Ted Wells' independence even hurt them?

- Bob Cousy turned 87 on Sunday. It is hard to come up with a player who impacted his pro sport as much as Cousy but somehow has gone more under-appreciated. We still love ya Cooz!

- Heh heh. I like places that look nice and I'm not even British!

- Just became a fan of Dr. Roy Spenser and his views on Climate Change.

- Very cool photos - underwater mangrove trees and salt plains after rain.

- Heh heh

- If you've ever wanted to be a screenwriter or were ever curious about the process read this!

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Americans spend more money on March Madness than on Presidential elections - by a wide margin. Tell me again why the money these schools make from the TV contracts for March Madness isn't taxable... Watched the Donald Rumsfeld documentary The Unknown Known on Netflix over the weekend. Two big thumbs up! Then again I'm a big fan of Rummy...  Georgetown's colors of blue and grey were chosen back in 1876 to support "unity between the Northern and Southern boys of the college"... It has been 10 weeks since the NFL appointed Ted Wells to "investigate" "Deflategate". Ten weeks!... Heh heh... I was never bothered by that picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. If he was photographed shaking hands with Dan Shaughnessy - different story!... Of the Congressmen to vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - 74% were Democrats... The phrase "gent bent" is supposedly short for "you should get bent over so that someone can sodomize you on Christmas". And a Merry Christmas to you too...
