MAYBE I’M AMAZED

Maybe I’m Amazed…….that somehow the Kardashians have a career. Their claim to fame was that their father was on O.J.’s defense team. The other day I heard they had an episode about one of them having a rash from shaving. Maybe I’m Amazed I know this and that people even care.
Maybe I’m Amazed ………that there are at least 5 TV Judges on TV in addition to Judge Judy. Maybe the people thinking about running for Judge in Luzerne County should get an agent or go that route. It would sure beat competing in a crowded primary.
Maybe I’m Amazed……..that after my Packers won the NFC Championship Game, all people wanted to talk about on Sports Radio Sunday night was Jay Cutler’s knee.
Maybe I’m Amazed……..that we seem to be missing huge snow storms. Please let that continue.
Maybe I’m Amazed…….that the more I see of those Soprano reruns, the less charming I find Tony Soprano and his insufferable family.
Maybe I’m Amazed…….that the 2012 Republican nomination seems wide open next year. You might see someone, ala Obama we are not even thinking about. Although right around this time last year, the Professor In Chief and Senator Hillary Clinton were hot on the campaign trail.
Maybe I’m Amazed……..that there is so much rancor in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Leave it to the Commonwealth to get things ass backwards. While the rest of the country is talking about holding hands during the State of the Union and parlaying bi partisanship into a reality, our guys are going at it tooth and nail screaming and cursing and ready to deck each other. I for one find it overdue. Let the Democrats go after the Republicans. The reason our state is in such bad shape is because we’ve had years of deal making with one party or the other having its hand out while the other one gets its legislation through. Duke it out boys. It’s about time you started fighting for uh the people you represent.
Maybe I’m Amazed……that after 17 seasons the Tennessee Titans got rid of the only coach they’ve ever had, Jeff Fisher. Andy Reid is now tops in seniority in the NFL.
Maybe I’m Amazed…..that it is 44 years since the deaths of Apollo Astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee and 25 years since that terrible Challenger accident. In both instances we became so good at space exploration that when an accident happened, it was a shock.
Maybe I’m Amazed…..that in the trial of the three Shenandoah Police officers, Patrolman Jason Hayes was acquitted on all charges. Hayes’ relationship with the mother of one of those charged with the beating was a big bone of contention. The Police Chief’s actions to me at least seemed to be innocuous at best and Lt. Bill Moyer’s acquittal on four charges but on the one where he was lying to the FBI was a surprise since, again to me, his statements to the FBI seemed to have nothing to do with the Ramirez beating death.
