Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. In Chess this is the most interesting part because you’ve run out of the cheats in your Big Book Of Openings (I favor English because it’s unusual, unexpected, and works on …

So early voting in Texas starts next Monday, October 22nd, and by most accounts Ted Cruz is sitting on an 8 or 9 point lead. On the other hand even after the dark money kicks in O’Rourke has about $10 Million more in the kitty (that he should not dish to other Democratic candidates who …

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. My weakness is Mathematics. I can understand what the instantaneous rate of change is but I don’t have the Trig to express it much less a derivative like the rate of change in the rate of change which is why Traders and Economists …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 4: Brewers @ Dodgers
Meanwhile in Chavez Ravine we already know we will be returning to Miller Park since the Brewers cemented their Split yesterday. Yes they used Hader but they didn’t use him long. In the Regular Season he never went more than two games in a row but that doesn’t mean he can’t and what about World …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 3: Red Sox @ Astros
So we’re about to find out if we visit The Great God Citgo again, remember the Red Sox need only win one of three to regain home field advantage. Their Game 2 victory wasn’t convincing but it was solid enough, if the offense stays in gear and they don’t have to hit the Pen too …

A Bladder Full Of Hot Air
How about that left hand. Ace? How about that left-handed draw? Mr. Ace Hanlon. Scourge of the sagebrush. The terror of Tucson. A bladder full of hot air.- The Quick and the Dead Well Mr. Herod, you did shoot him dead. Not so full now. So the House of Saud is threatening “responses” to any …

All Hallow
It is a scary time right now. Sarah Sanders has been run out of restaurants. I mean, there’s a list of things going on. Now you’ve got witches that are placing a hex on Brett Kavanaugh! Did I mention I’m an atheist? I’ve often thought that should I run for public office I’d elide that …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 3: Brewers @ Dodgers
So we’re in Chavez Ravine which was both inevitable and by design, the Dodgers having accomplished what they needed to do which is achieve a Split. It may be we will never see Miller Park again this season if the Dodgers sweep at home. Or the Brewers could end it away if they’re extremely lucky …

Confusion in Trans-Allegheny
Well, that was what they called it before the Pro Slavery Insurrection when they defied the General Assembly’s Declaration of Secession and were rewarded with their own State in compensation. It was a proud moment and a high water mark for a region that has become progressively less… Umm… progressive? I hate that term as …
