Our age will be remembered as low tide; an era in which the world's preeminent superpower inexplicably embraced insanity and willfully self-destructed.
It's obvious he's little more than a useful idiot, the barely functional mouthpiece for whoever's actually running this sh*t show.
They're like unsupervised brats playing with firearms, and we're collateral damage of their criminal behavior.
Last week was unusually sunny and warm for this late in November, so I spent quite a bit of time whacking wiffle golf balls in my backyard, trying to apply some Moe Norman principles - palm grip, wide stance, planted feet, reduced hip rotation- to my dicey golf swing.
He's been called "golf's misunderstood genius", but whatever people thought of his appearance, speech, demeanor and comportment, he was without question the best ball striker in golf.
And it's almost unfair to blame Dementia Joe for the current chaos in this ridiculous race to the bottom.
They're like unsupervised brats playing with firearms, and we're collateral damage of their criminal behavior.
May God deliver us from morons in power.
We're getting there...Karen has drawn up her game plan...
Still waiting on headcounts from a few folks, but whether we're feeding few or many, we'll give thanks to God in heaven for His bounty, mercy and grace, then dig in and enjoy.
And this year - unlike far too many years - we'll probably watch a Lions win on turkey day.
Under Dan Campbell they've become a different team, a winning team.
And if someone gets injured, Campbell looks like he could still strap on the pads...
Sure hope I didn't just jinx them.
Last week was unusually sunny and warm for this late in November, so I spent quite a bit of time whacking wiffle golf balls in my backyard, trying to apply some Moe Norman principles - palm grip, wide stance, planted feet, reduced hip rotation- to my dicey golf swing.
He's been called "golf's misunderstood genius", but whatever people thought of his appearance, speech, demeanor and comportment, he was without question the best ball striker in golf.
Every shot went where he wanted it to go. He could hit fades or draws at will, though his usual choice was straight down the fairway.
Compare that to what Bobby Jones - the best golfer in the hickory era - said about the art of hitting golf balls:
"Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case."
That is true for the vast majority of golfers, even into the pro ranks.
But it wasn't true for M.N.
As Tiger Woods remarked, "Moe owned his swing".
How did he do that?
How did he tame the Kraken...
William Bushnell Stout, designer of the revolutionary Ford Tri-Motor airplane...
...said you must "simplicate and add more lightness".
In other words, strip out all non-essentials and keep it as simple as possible.
MN did that with his golf swing.
Self-taught with nary a golf lesson, his swing was intuitive, compact, uncomplicated, yielding impressive and consistent results.
But a "magic bullet" it's not; that doesn't exist.
As Woodrow Wilson commented, "Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose."
A lousy president and terrible person he may have been, but WW was right about the game of golf.
Even with MN's simpler swing, it still requires work and consistent practice, and it's possible you'll trade some distance for improved accuracy.
For some that's a deal breaker; for me it's a no-brainer.
There's one more good weather day in the forecast, so whatever progress I make by end of day tomorrow will have to suffice for now.
Guess we'll see what next season brings.
