NFL = Not For Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh will NOT be a part owner of the St. Louis Rams.

Citing probable and insurmountable opposition to Limbaugh, the head of the group bidding for ownership of the team dropped the outspoken radio pundant from their group and vowed to press on without him.

Limbaugh said he will have no statement on his show or in the media regarding his removal today but characteristicly had plenty to say yesterday, according to a published report on ESPN.com.

“This is not about the NFL, it’s not about the St. Louis Rams, it’s not about me,” Limbaugh said. “This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democrat Party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative.

“Therefore, this is about the future of the United States of America and what kind of country we’re going to have.”

Apparantly the NFL Players Assocation, the union representing the players have an opinion on the future of our country as well. They also oppose Limbaugh and the majority of the St. Louis Rams roster doesn’t like the idea of being helmed by Limbaugh either.

All this opposition is, in my opinion, shocking given Rush Limbaugh’s stellar history of unification and inclusion of all viewpoints and his bi-partisan outlook on all things. He has been a selfless advocate of all people’s opinions…and if you believe that, I’ve got a team to sell you…just as soon as MY bid to buy the Detroit Lions succeeds!

OBAMA RECIEVES NOBEL FOR 12 DAYS

Last week, President Barrack Obama became a Nobel Laureate when the five member committee in Oslo awarded him the world’s formerly most prestigious prize for World peace and substantive accomplishment.

What was Obama’s contribution to the World that warranted this “honor”?

He served as President of the United States for 12 days.

That’s right, the President’s first 12 days in office represented his ENTIRE elligibility period for Nobel consideration. Nothing he has done (and that’s not much) since could be considered by the esteemed committee in Oslo.

So what exactly did President Obama do during those 12 days to warrant an award usually given for a lifetime of work or a monumental change for the good of mankind?

He showed up.

In statements following this disgraceful mockery of their own prize, members of the committee stated that President Obama had restored a climate of positive change and renewed security that was lacking in the unilateral military actions taken by President George W. Bush in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks against this Nation.

So Obama gets the Nobel for NOT being President George W. Bush? That seems to be a large part of the criteria, as speculated by David Greggory, Moderator of NBC’s “Meet The Press” in the video below:

Despite the facts that President Obama didn’t have his rival, Senator Hilary Clinton confirmed as Secretary Of State, hadn’t made his first international trip, to Canada, hadn’t met with a single foreign leader or addressed the UN General Assembly, he apparently achieved such monumental future potential that he “earned” the Nobel Peace Prize. This is like giving a quarterback the Super Bowl MVP trophy before the end of training camp because, someday, he will accomplish amazing feats in the championship, if his team wins the playoffs, makes it to the game and wins it.

To say that the Nobel Peace Prize lost its significance and importance last week is hardly a stretch. I feel genuinely bad for this years other winners because they have been overshadowed by a purely political sham that detracts from their lifetimes of work and GENUINE accomplishments in their respective fields.

To be fair, the President didn’t feel he deserved the award either and stated so publicly but he still intends to pick it up in December as “an affirmation” and a reminder of the job ahead…as if an ongoing recession and millions of Americans losing jobs and health care isn’t sufficient to show him what needs to be done.

The simple fact is that the five members of the Nobel Committee either hated President George W. Bush enough to flip him the bird with their “prize” or they like the ideal of President Obama enough to award him an undeserved award based on potential accomplishments.

Either way, the Nobel is not a prize anymore…it’s a trinket or a political statement and not a very shiny one anymore.

WELCOME…AGAIN!

Welcome to my “new” blog!

The quotes surrounding new are because this is actually about the third time I’ve redesigned this blog and started from scratch on the contents!

So why am I redesigning and restarting this? Simply put, I’ve recently decided that “social networking” sites like Facebook and Twitter, while FAR superior in audience, are not a place that I want publish my thoughts and opinions or share content that might be “controversial”. If you’re reading this blog, it’s by CHOICE and you have the option to leave and not comeback if you don’t like it…but I hope you will! Such is NOT the case on open forums like Twitter or Facebook and BELIEVE me, I’ve lost quite enough friends on Facebook so I’m not looking to tick the few I have off! LOL!

A couple of quick notes. First, while I’m going to write or select the content here, I would like nothing more than for this to be INTERACTIVE and I’m going to be continously looking for ways to involve you, my readers, in the process as much as you want! Secondly and I guess lastly, I hope that you’ll find the content here diverse and interesting but feedback will ALWAYS be welcome and I want to hear from you – love this or hate it!

Here’s to “new” begininnings (although I’m sure that’s redundant) and thanks for visiting…I hope you’ll become a regular reader!
