This Week’s Recap…
Superstar of the
Week: Peyton Manning
On Thursday night, the 2013 NFL season opened as the Denver
Broncos took on the defending Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens in Denver.
At halftime, it looked like Baltimore had things in control with a 17-14 lead.
However, one missed call by the officials and a missed opportunity by head
coach John Harbaugh to challenge the play was all Peyton Manning needed to blow
the game wide open. Denver outscored Baltimore, 35-10, in the second half to
win the season opener, 49-27.
What made this game memorable though was the performance of
Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. Manning tied the NFL record for most
touchdown passes in a single game with seven. Only five other quarterbacks have
accomplished the feat, the last being Joe Kapp in 1969 for the Minnesota
Vikings. Manning’s performance was an impressive accomplishment and one that football
fans will not see again anytime soon.
Jerk of the Week:
President Barack Obama and the liberal-minded Obama Sycophants
 |
| Other than the "Dawg" usage, I believe this is exactly how the conversation went. |
I am going to start this by admitting I do not know much of
what is going on in Syria. I honestly don’t. From what I have gathered from news
posts and conversations, Syria is involved in a civil war. It is a civil war
with an official beginning date of March 15, 2011 but a truthful origin date of
the beginning of time. These people just do not get along. Can you blame them
though? It is always hot. There is sand in your bum all the time. Everyone is
poor and the entire country is nothing more than the personification of constant
misery. Syria is New Mexico without the television show glamourizing its meth
operations.
Anyhoo, Syrian leaders are now using chemical weapons as
part of the civil war. They are using chemical weapons against their own
people, the same people they are battling in a civil war. For some reason, President
Barack Obama has decided America needs to take it upon ourselves to head into
Syria and clean up this mess. I do not know all of the details but it is safe
to say that Obama is working his magic with his fellow governmental cronies to
send some of our young men and women to Syria because “Syria has chemical
weapons.” This sounds familiar.
It sounds a lot like what George W. Bush said when getting
America involved in Iraq a decade ago. Of course, Bush was the devil for
getting us involved in an unnecessary military conflict according to the
liberal-minded masses in America. Yet, Obama is doing this for the right
reasons because… um… because he is Obama?
 |
| Oh, Hippie Girl. You are the living end. |
The rest of the world is against the idea of American
involvement in this Syrian civil unrest. In fact, the only people who seem to
be on America’s side in this decision are the same people who declared war on
America in 2001 by hijacking four planes and taking out the World Trade Center
and Pentagon. Barack Obama really wants to be on their side in this?!? Ugh.
People wonder why I can be so apathetic towards our
government. It is moments like this, moments when both dominant parties prove
there is no difference between the terms “democrat” and “republican” except for
some different letters, where I feel my apathy is justified. I realize the
system is broken. I know I do not have the power to change it. Therefore, I just
do my best to play with the cards I have and try to avoid getting on the
wealthy people’s bad side.
I feel bad though for the families who are going to lose
young men and women to this unnecessary military conflict President Obama is
going to get America involved in. I feel bad for all of the young morons like
Hippie Girl who finally will see President Obama and all of their beloved
governmental icons for the snake oil salespersons they really are. Finally, I
feel bad for Syria because you were having a nice civil war all to yourselves
until Obama decided America needed to crash your party. President Obama and the
liberal-minded sycophants trying to justify his attempt at creating a new
American military conflict are easily the biggest jerks around right now.

A Very Fond Farewell to…
James Lemmie White, Jr.
James White, best known to friends as Lemmie, passed away on
Tuesday, September 3rd at the age of 65 from injuries suffered in an
auto accident while at work. Lemmie was a good friend of my family and a man I
respected greatly. He never was without a smile, a joke, or an infectious laugh.
Lemmie, along with his wife of 46 years – Brenda, were a frequent visitor at
the house. Every couple of weeks, they would come over and chat, play with the
cats a little, and just catch up. I am going to miss that.
I know that he is in a better place than this world. Still,
I feel bad because he left behind a wonderful family and a loving wife who were
not ready to say goodbye yet. I feel bad for a community of friends not ready
to say goodbye yet to a man who always made the mood lighter with just his
smile. I feel bad because it is human nature to feel bad when you lose someone
so good that you did not appreciate how special your time together was until it
is gone. The world lost a good man on Tuesday. RIP, Lemmie.
