Lots to talk about politically this holiday weekend. Of course, the start of the baseball season and the Masters are likely garnering much of your attention.
Happy Easter and Happy Pesach.

Just checked the leader board

Just checked the leader board on Yahoo at Augusta. If Saturday is moving day then Tiger is moving, backwards. He was +3 at 11 and running out of holes. Looks like a beautiful day with no rain and claim winds. Should be a great day. Then again any day Augusta would be a great day.
I just posted this on the MASK thread.....waiting for OT....

You know how he always uses me or I when touting his accomplishments or praising his deeds. He doesnt do that when telling us about Christians. Its not his Christian faith or his beliefs he is talking about.
Arby's comments

Tried to send the following comment to Arby's but ti wouldn't go through:
I went to your New Bern store about 2 weeks ago and tried the Reuben. It was OK but I'll not be making that trip again. See I refuse to go to places that use politics like you did on Rush Limbaugh's Show. There are other places in town that make Reubens and they don't pull their ads to satify a few nuts.

I don't know if he thinks this is an edible bunny, or what, but don't eat the costume Barry. And what's with the person between them? Hopefully there's a depth not visually apparent. Anyway, I'm not surprised to see Barry accosting the Easter Bunny; after all, Christianity is just something rednecks in Pennsylvania cling to. (That's right Rad and mb, I'm talking to you!)

Death of the Spanish Fly
Submitted by Blonde on Sat, 04/07/2012 - 2:41pm.
I am very sad today....I learned that one of my favorite "celebs", Jose Wejebe, the Spanish Fly (a guide out of Key West who had a fabulous fishing show on ESPN) crashed his kit plane yesterday in the Glades.
I'd imagine not too many people were familiar with him, just cool Key West fishing guide who happened to hit it big.

It doesn't pay to miss a couple holes of coverage. When the network joined, Freddie had dropped 2 strokes. Duffner picked up one , then bogeyed 4. Tiger is out of it but i bet they keep showing his shots. There is a bunch at the top, stay on them. At least on Direct TV I can watch lot of different holes.

He started losing his focus when his dad died, as Earl was the driving force behind his game.
He will probably go on and win some more tournaments, and maybe even a green jacket or two, but I don't see him ever getting close to regaining his former dominance.

Merchants of Despair

Watch PJ Media's Bill Whittle take down the "Merchants of Despair".....the Obama administration.... he is, as Neal Boortz said, he is "spittin' nails!"
He calls Obama the most polarizing, mean-spirited, petty, thin-skinned, self-centerd baby this republic has ever suffered.
(I think I got it all; I had to do it from memory)
I'm going to have to send Mr. Whittle an emergency shipment of duct tape! I don't think I've EVER seen him this pi$$ed off!
One commenter said "this needs to go viral."

OMO, check out this idiot I am fighting against on youtube and what he says about taxes. It is on this clip from yesterday about Allen West smacking down Kyra Phillips.
This is how it starts:
This coming from a republican Congressman who party been using the distract method for years. They want to bring down the debt but continue with the bush tax cuts that costing taxpayers 11.6 million dollars per HOUR to keep in place. The new republican party is full of it and people leaving comment cheering him on when his party and democrats taking this country to hell in a hand basket.
demarcus39209 1 day ago
I respond: (I am lua504 on youtube)
Do explain how a tax break is paid for. I really would love to hear this.
lua504 in reply to demarcus39209 1 day ago
His response:
Unfunded tax breaks are added to the deficit than later paid for by the next generation. Funded tax breaks can be paid for by raising taxes or cutting programs to pay for them. My point is Bush tax cuts are not funded so every hour 11.6 million of debt is being added to the deficit. Allen West can't be spokesperson about bringing down the debt when his party is pro Bush tax cut.
My response: h/t to Unsane
First things first. TAX CUTS ARE NOT PAID FOR!!!!!! Taxes are YOUR money, we do not "fund" tax cuts. And when you get less money, you (golly) have to budget for LESS SPENDING! How is the government different from any corporation, family and individual?
And his latest response:
You actually believe tax cuts are free. All tax cuts are government expenditures also known as government spending. Tax cuts can be paid for by raising taxes or defunding other programs to pay for them. Tax cuts that are not paid for is added directly to the deficit just like the Bush tax cuts and Payroll tax cuts was. Government is different because they have people such as your self believing tax cuts are free and not going to get paid for by the American people at some point.
How frelling stupid can one person be? I know, I know, I'm talking about a liberal here. Feel free to join in and teach this poor fool how things work in the real world.

All the family I have here is coming over for Sunday dinner, (In the south we call lunch dinner and dinner supper.) After that the final round of the Masters. If today is anywhere near yesterday it is going to go down as one of the greatest.
Since my man Jim Furyk probalbly doesn't have a chance unless he shoots a round like Hanson did yesterday I'll be pulling for Phil, that is unless Jim puts together the round of his career. I am savy enough of a sports fan to know ain't nobody going to shoot a 63 on the final day of the Masters. The traditional pin placements on Sunday are murder. Freddie has been around the course probably 30 times on Sunday and even he hasn't figured it out.
