I Apologize...

My intent when I thought I might write something once in a while was to keep it light and, hopefully, humorous. So I apologize for the following.

Is there or has there ever been a more arrogant politician than John Boehner in Washington? My spell check insists on making that "Boner", and I find it hard to disagree. Where is the civility and respect that our elected leaders used to at least make a pretense of showing? Boehner didn't even have the courtesy to call the President about changing the night of the speech. He sent a letter. I am truly concerned about what is happening in Washington or maybe what isn't happening.  Compromise, ladies and gentlemen of the Congress. You were elected to serve the people of this country. If you can't respect your fellow legislators, at least show us some respect and start making things happen!

I apologize for my alma mater. The University of Miami has once again embarrassed itself and its alums. And will someone explain to me the NCAA's ruling about requiring the offending players to make restitution! College football players are on scholarships.  A lot of them don't have pizza money.  That's why they accepted illegal benefits to begin with. And who do they make restitution to?  The scumbag who is in prison for 20 years for his ponzi scheme and who caused all this trouble to begin with? If the money goes to the NCAA, they should use it to commission a study on how to legally compensate in some fashion these players.  Why did the Ohio State players sell rings, autographs, etc.? Because they more than likely needed some cash.

That's it.  Sorry.  Just had to vent. Maybe humor will return soon.
