Obama, Brazil, Nader, NCAA and Texas Law
Gotta love the administration's response to the approaching $4 and perhaps $5 a gallon gasoline. He lends more than $2 Billion dollars......U.S. dollars which we don't have....to Brazil....so they can drill for more oil. What on this good earth is going to save us from this community organizer from Chicago's south side. Barack stops all domestic offshore exploration in this country for the past two years, but forks over two billion American bucks so Brazil can dig and we can buy from another foreign source. :-(
Sorry.....too huge a topic for this space.....so lets move on. I see in the paper today Ralphie Nader, the consumer advocate (means much the same as community organizer) says this country needs to eliminate all college athletic scholarships. He wants to "de-professionalize" college athletes. Ralphie.....that ship has sailed....and to suggest otherwise carries all the credibility of your last run for the Presidency. We're in the midst of March Madness to be sure....and Ralphie suggests it would be more accurately labeled the "2011 NCAA Professional Basketball Championships" and he added "it's time we step back and address the myth of amateurism surrounding big-time college football and basketball." Now I axe you Ralphie......what would that accomplish? What would be solved by denying athletic scholarships? Accept it Ralph.....and most of all....accept it NCAA.....college athletes on scholarships are professionals.....who are also getting an education. Put 89,000 people into a football stadium for a college game....broadcast it live on TV nationwide....that my friends involves millions and millions of dollars and there is nothing amateurish about it. It's professional sports!!! Loved the comment of one sports editor in Florida who said...."Ralph Nader shooting off his mouth about college athletic scholarships is like Dale Earnhardt Jr. planning bombing coordinates in Libya."
Just one more quickie: What could Texas be thinking with approval of a plan to allow college students in Texas to carry weapons while on college campuses? Clearly "no thinking" going on out there. Strap on your sidearm kids it's time for psych 101.
