| "WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS TROUBLESOME OVERINFLATED FOOTBALL?"
Saturday, 9:00 AM. 35 degrees F at the ferry dock, 32 on the back porch. Wind SW, very light with occasional light gusts. The sky has a low overcast, the humidity is 84% and the barometer is more or less steady at 29.65". The roads were slippery again this morning, but the driveway ice is melting nicely after a liberal application salt yesterday.
"There will be a price..." a White House source snarled, when commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Netenyahu's upcoming visit to the US Congress. So, a piqued Administration indicates there will be a Chicago, mob-style response to a perceived slight. Reminds me of the Obama statement of a few years ago, "If they bring a knife, we'll bring a gun." Why am I not surprised at all this gangsta' talk?
Then again, there is Deflate Gate, the alleged tampering of game footballs by the New England Patriots. "Who, me? "I'm just the coach. I didn't know footballs got air in 'em."'
Thugs in politics, cheaters in sports.
To quote Captain Renault in the classic movie Casablanca, "I'm shocked, shocked..."
