Non-Conformity (On two accounts) on 9-9-09

Hello,
I was driving on the streets of Chicagoland and I decided I'd pick this thing back up, hopefully with more consistency. It'll feature a variety of staples and tacks whenever I decide to throw them in, lets get to business.

Tetris Watch: 168 lines, not quite 194 and definitely not 200. A change in strategy is imminent.

Hello Win Column: The Rangers won again today pushing their record to 79-60. This is happy news on a degree of angles. 79 is equal to the amount of games they won all of last year, it'll take a '95 Angels collapse to not get to above .500 for the first since '04 and it keeps them in step with both the Angels and the Red Sox. Second, I'm still looking, but I don't know the last time a team won three games in less than 24 hours. I kind of recall that happening in a Jim Sundberg tournament I may have played in back in the day, I'll have to consult James Dunbar Sr. and Curtis Rutledge for confirmation. Finally, Scott Feldman is pitching like a velociraptor. The man is on fire on the road (won seven consecutive road starts) and making a serious case to at least get some votes on the Cy Young ballot. While wins are largely overrated, 16 ties him for tops in the league and he is a big reason these Rangers are threatening to repeat '90's Ranger Greatness (The late, great Johnny Oates would approve of these fellas, without that wince).

Oh how I hate ohio state: Terelle Pryor, come on down, your the next reason for despising at ohio state. If you haven't heard by now, you ought to to stop and catch this bit of comedy gold . Yeah, Terelle, maybe if you were being interviewed by a group of reporters featuring Jeffery Dahmer and John Dillinger that would be true. Unfortunately it was probably some scro from Dayton and you were lauding a guy who is about as heroic as a grocery sack. I'm not saying I'm rooting against Michael Vick, and if he weren't an Eagle I would be actively wishing him well, but facts are facts and that guy is no hero. I can't wait to see what Terelle scores on the Wunderlic, maybe he and Vince Young have something more in common than athleticism and poor throwing style.

Pass the Mic': Our esteemed President Barack Obama has had quite a week with the TelePrompTer and microphone. Earlier this week, he pissed off Republicans everywhere with crazy rhetoric on staying in school and taking responsibility for molding the future. Look, regardless of political leanings, when the President of the United States speaks you should listen. It's such a shame that there are parents that would rather their children not listen to somebody THEY disagree with than hold the man with the highest office with some level of respect.  At least give them the opportunity to disagree with him by their own accord. What's your message? If you disagree with someone you don't have to listen? Please, take that nonsense with you on a space ship to another galaxy and leave this world in better hands.
       The topic of healthcare reform absolutely whips me. I only have a couple of points. First, if you take the time to read the bill and make up your own mind, you have free range. The next time I hear someone disagree with healthcare reform based on anecdotal evidence from their buddy at the lodge, I'm gonna throw them in a boxcar full of snakes.

  

Bill H3200 is quite lengthy, but you can find it here , and if you want to support or disagree with it you will be doing so without the aid of MSNBC or FOXNews or your Uncle Wilbur who still insists that Obama isn't a U.S. Citizen.
