A short fingered, no class, tyrant

I make no apology for being a Washington Redskins fan - As I have said before they are one of the 3 great teams in NFL history - the others being the Green Bay Packers and the Cleveland Browns - but something has to be done about the current ownership. There is a breed of Redskin fan who's devotion to the team knows no bounds and no limits. They are simple minded and totally focused on the need to win at any cost and have little understanding and even less appreciation for the traditions that make the Redskins great. Danny Snyder is such a fan.

I give you three proof points.
1. Instituting the playing of lousy rock/rap music during time outs in the game (just like every other team)
2. Signing Deion Sanders to play for the Skins in 2000.
3. Inviting Tom Cruise to the home opener last Monday night.

This is a short list of many transgressions that are impacting the spirit of this great institution.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona.

Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
