If I were queen, every political commercial running on TV would have a natural expiration date that would occur as close as possible to the day it was created. Once expired, it would be relegated to the trash heap of history, never allowed to be aired again. See, aren’t you sorry you didn’t make me queen.
A friend visiting from New Jersey was here for the latest headlines in our ongoing “Catch-a-Thieving Politician” game. I turned to her at one point and jokingly noted that New Jersey was soon going to be forced to concede its “Most Corrupt State in the Union” title to Alaska. She suggested the title transfer already happened.
She pointed out that every day she was here, there was another headline about corrupt politicians and their cronies being investigated, being charged, being tried, being sentenced, appealing sentences, etc. etc. To update that old saying that if you cut Alaska in half, Texas

STOP THE MADNESS! Commentators….just shut the hell up and let the athletes do their thing. Accept that other countries might have athletes who are competing and may actually win. Stop saying that a gymnast who is number fourteen after four rotations has a shot at a medal. We are not idiots. We know he or she doesn’t. Show us competitors from
