Memo: Tom Brady is Ironman, but People Hate Him

Tom Brady is Ironman -not the Marvel Comics character and bad movie sequel vehicle, but an athlete with the heart and tripes of Joe Kapp, Bobby Douglas, Sonny Jurgensen, Jim McMahon and Terry Bradshaw.

Tom Brady is prettier than all of the above; hell, if I were so inclined, I'd take a hard run at him.  Tom Brady is like Dorian Grey, Oscar Wilde's post-Raphaelite

Lucifer and must have a portrait of himself at home that looks like Hell - to quote Ken Klipp of Manteno,Illinois.

The Patriots, Bill Belichek and Brady elicit the same levels of foam, spittle and bile frothing from the mouths of P-Hatters, AntiFas and Artists of Resistance from many otherwise sober, serious and sedentary sports lovers.   Too many of these 'lovers' consult fantasy player apps and others check-out SI listings, polls and analyzes on ESPN, where they can also plug into their political and moral soul.

List makers and pollsters are an obnoxious reality plaguing the American soul - always have been.  The great Jean Shepherd warned against them decades ago, but people would rather consult than think, experience, or bear witness for themselves. Americans swallow hype by the yard.

• Trump will kill us all
• Tom Brady Deflates
• Philly Eagles Rule
• Have You Gone to Au Cheval?  ( why yes . . .meh.)
• JB Pritzker - Our Common Man
• Richard Roeper
• Auburn Football!!!!!!!

Trump ain't done me no harm.  The FICA on my last pay-stub was harmless. Tom Brady is Ironman. 

So, I will not watch another Superbowl ( LII).  Most people say the Patriots are -4 point dogs.  Most people called 2016 for Hillary.  

On Monday, we will see.  Many folks in Asia, Europe and the emerging nations of Sub-Saharan Africa could care less,   but not less than me. 

Blood Moon or a Super Blue-Blood Moon: What Do It Portend?

“The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood , before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord” Acts of the Apostles 2-20 

See that button-like light just southwest of my chimney?  That's a Super Blue Blood Moon!

I took that on my way to St. John Fisher Catholic Church at around 6:10 AM.  Today is the feast of St. John Bosco, the patron saint of Catholic schools.  St. John Bosco has alot of work cut out for him these days, as the Archdiocese is more about skyscrapper development in Streeterville than in providing little kids with a foundation in the faith of our fathers. Cardinal Blaze " The Closer" Cupich is more concerned with what Carol Marin thinks of him than the parishioners of Immaculate Conception in Crestwood.

Moons come and go and so do schools that helped build the character of generations of Chicagoans.
End of the World?  Over my dead body, or at least until my aromatic meatloaf *comes out of the oven.

Anyway, if the Final Day was underway with full HD Sound and Effects, people would be tuning in to The View, or Ellen to find out exactly why Melania was wearing white at the State of the Union.

We have had many blood moons, or as they used to say in Cleveland before the Old Chief got tomahawked by bed-wetters, " Many Moons!"

God raised up Patriarchs, Judges, Prohpets and Kings and told them exactly what was expected of us.   We did whatever the hell we felt like, until the shit his the fan and Lot's wife went all salty; then we got right with the Almighty, until things got soft again and then ignored He Is Who Am - all three of Him.

We don't listen, unless it is on cable news.

We don't care, until Cardinal Closer shutters all of the schools.

Then what?


The Blood Moon was beautiful.

Now, about that meatloaf: Hickey's Herbed Meatloaf (lifted from the NYT's Recipe with my variations):

1      pound         ground beef
      1/2  pound         ground veal
      1/2  pound         ground pork
    2                    eggs
      1/2  cup           fine Italian bread crumbs
      3/4  cup           chopped parsley
      1/4  cup           finely chopped chives
    3      Tablespoons   Fresh basil
      1/4  cup           finely chopped green pepper
    1 1/2  teaspoons     salt
      1/2  teaspoon      freshly ground black pepper
                     

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Combine all ingredients
    Shape the mixture into a Rugby Ball
 Place the loaf on Tin Foil  pie plate.
 Top the loaf with  Red Onion and 6 whole garlic pods.  Bake one and one-half hours.   Chill over night.  Slice and serve on baby spinach leaves with horseradish on good pumpernickle bread.

  

Be a Rauner Frowner and Send Bruce Back to His Vaults!

I don't know about you, neighbor, but I have never cottoned to Governor Bruce Rauner.  Just can not snuggle up to the notion that he is on the up-and-up.

Maybe it has something to do with the company he keeps

Maybe it is his love of abortion



Maybe it's how idiotic he looks on his Harley



Whatever.  As Jesse Jackson ( pere) might say, "Bruce got voted in because he was not Pat Quinn/Vote Him Out cuz He's a Lout!

I don't believe that Bruce Rauner, wants Bruce Rauner in Springfield.  Let's send him back to his vaults, where he can find peace and contentment.

Bruce looks bad as Governor.

Jeanne Ives not only looks good; she does good!


Join me and Chicago Renaissance Man Mike Houlihan as we hop on the Jeanne Ives for Governor Bandwagon over the next few days!  We shall have much more to say and do in the coming days!

                                                                                                                                                           

JeanneIves has spent 5 years as a state legislator standing up to Mike Madigan.
And she stood up to Gov. Rauner when he has betrayed our conservative values.
Jeanne Ives Will Return Your Home to YouIves will institute a 1% hard cap on property taxes as a percentage of home value. This will return your home value to you that has been stolen by the highest property taxes in the nation.
Jeanne Ives Will Return Your Money to YouIves will rescind the 32% income tax increase passed by Chicago Democrats and surrender Republicans.
Ives will repeal the new, open-ended entitlement Rauner created by signing public funding of abortion on demand.
Jeanne Ives Will Return The Rule Of Law To YouIves will repeal Illinois’ sanctuary state status and allow local and state law enforcement to cooperate with federal law enforcement

• Meet Jeanne & Ric

Come on! Join us!

Be a Rauner Frowner!

Vote for Jeanne Ives on March 20th 2018 at a polling place near you!

Madman Trump Nearly, Well Almost Nearly, Doesn't Do Something!

I was shocked, outraged, incesned, vexed and very nearly driven to rile this morning when both Chicago dailys blasted these headlines:

Trump moved to fire Mueller in June, bringing White House counsel to brink of resignation!  Chicago Tribune

Trump ordered Mueller Fired, But White House Counsel Threatened to Quit!  Chicago Sun Times


You see Robert Mueller is the John Kerry impersonator and Special Russian Collusion Prosecutor and who is going to give President Trump a long over due and well earned chide and come-uppance.

The smartest people like David Brooks and his minion E.J. Dionne predict a that President 45 might endure the humilitation of being taken down a peg.

Most expect a culpatory dressing down.


Other leading news spewers posted these

• Trump ordered Mueller fired last year before backing off, news report says

• Report: Trump wanted Mueller fired, backed off - WHIO Tv

• NYT: Trump called for Mueller's firing in June 2017 - WTHI

My God, Trump Thumpers were right!  He is out of his mind!!  Milky in the filbert!  Whack-a-doodle!

I'll bet that he did not unleash nuclear hell on Trinidad.

What's next will he not watch the Superbowl?

Will the Orange One refuse to watch Jim Acosta?

What would happen if The View hired people?

What if Iceland is not  willing to pay me $ 5,000 to choose one their surplus womens-es?

Oh, What a world!   Imagine if Trump had done something!  This is positively opprobious!!!!!!!!!

I just might not have pancakes at Biyali's Too ever again!

As if!
