Pack win!

The Packers drilled the Lions.The push is on as MLB enters the last two weeks of the regular season.  Tampa has all but locked down the best recording the AL, and the Astros have a nice lead to get home field over the White Sox for their series.  Over on the NL side, The Giants are clinging to their lead in the NL west, and hopefully they’ll force the Dodgers into the Wild Card game.  The Reds picked a bad time to fade but at least have an easier stretch run than the Cardinals. Hopefully they sneak in. Across the pond, Ronald Koeman is a dead man walking at Barcelona. But he’s not really the problem. And there’s a boatload of League Cup games today and tomorrow in England. In case you’re one of the few people that care about that competition anymore (I do, by the way). And that’s sports.

America, I salute you!

First American flag designer Francis Hopkinson was born on this day. He shares it with Sci-Fi author H.G.

Right, now on to…the links!

Here’s an incredible and touching story. Of course it happened a long time ago. But it still says a lot about people standing up for the life and liberty of others. Hopefully that mindset makes a comeback.

FYTW

Aaaaaaaaand of course he’s not being charged. Because either the rules don’t apply to the king’s men, or because he was there undercover and stirring up shit. Which means I could have just said “because fuck you, that’s why”.

“Yee haw, boys. It’s a round up!” What a freaking shitshow.

How about a warning next time, asshole. Oh wait, there won’t be a next time.  Still, what a dick move.

Crooked crooks are crooked

I’m not holding my breath. Why? Because this kind of thing never results in the flood of indictments it should result in. It still makes me happy though.

Rules vary by location and participants. Because of course they do.

Will one crook displace another crook? Because they’re all crooks.

Of course they were over a week old. I could have told you that, since they were adults.  Get an editor, SFGate.

Talk about a boys club. I sure hope some women’s groups voice their opposition to this horrible oversight. And while they’re at it, they can address the fact that they’re a barbarous and sociopathic regime.

I don’t play these guys nearly enough. I’ll fix that. Enjoy.

And enjoy a lovely Tuesday, dear friends!
