Is Jack Ciattarelli Winning in New Jersey?

Far be it from me to predict that Republicans are on the verge of winning this year’s gubernatorial election in New Jersey, but (a) Jack Ciattarelli came pretty close to knocking off incumbent Phil Murphy four years ago, and (b) with Murphy term-limited, Democrats nominated Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who hasn’t exactly been running away with […]

— compiled by Wombat-socho Google Maps Navigation can eat my entire ass for trying to get me to North Platte by every obscure county road in the northern part of Nebraska before I shut it off, hauled out the atlas, and barely made it to Grand Island in time to take two games out of […]

The Delusions of #Resistance 2.0: Did Democrats Forget They Lost the Election?

Think back to mid-November 2024. President Trump had just scored a decisive victory, winning all seven “battleground” states and, unlike 2016, winning the popular vote by a margin of more than 2 million votes. In the wake of their shattering defeat — which not only put Trump back in the White House, but left Republicans […]

FMJRA 2.0: No Joy At Fenway

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, at least we won the opener. The 1974 Senators began the season on the road against the Red Sox in Fenway Park, and Jim Kaat went the distance for a 7-2 win in the opener, but neither Carl Morton nor Steve Renko could hold the BoSox bats in check in […]

Third Saturday Was Historic This Year

Saturday night, my wife and daughter-in-law were upstairs watching The Sound of Music while my brother and I were downstairs watching Alabama play Tennessee. And right before halftime, Kirby and I started yelling so loud that the neighbors might have called 911. Alabama had taken a 9-7 lead midway through the second quarter when Tennessee […]
