WRITE ON WEDNESDAY
BRING US THE REAL REFS
My brother in law is one of the biggest Dallas Cowboy fans in this area. He is very unhappy with the replacement referees in the NFL. He is even more outraged than I am from Monday night’s Seahawks/Packers game. A man of few words, here’s his take on what is happening.
It's brief but provocative on today's Write On Wednesday.
In all my years watching Pro Football I have NEVER seen a series of BAD, MISSED and WRONG CALLS in one game as was visible in last night’s game. The Owners and the League make so much money they can at least improve the contracts of the refs.
My brother in law Owen is a big football fan who speaks the truth on this issue.

Heard on the news that the sticking point is the ability to fire bad refs. Sounds like the teacher union model.
They are back. I guess the millionaires decided to pay them.
Now can we get back to unimportant shit like curing cancer or AIDS.
I was once a real sports fan but the realities of day to day living taught me how utterly unimportant who wins a "game" really is! Millionaire owners spoiled brat players people with no character or integrity interested in ME, only! I know this wont be a popular opinion.
Good morning students,
I wish to inform you that this will be my final lecture for the week as I have some more travel obligations to fulfill. I will be heading to the West Coast tomorrow for some golf dates in Palm Springs with some old friends in the manufacturing field. I look forward to some deep and thoughtful conversation (something I did not experience at last week’s so called blogfest). I wish all of you well this weekend with your football bets and I sincerely hope that when we meet on Monday morning you none of you will be sporting a cast courtesy of your local bookie.
The business of this classroom goes forward…….
Students,
I would like to destroy a permeating myth that is encircling the talking heads of cable news for the past few weeks. The idea that Mr. Obama will best Pres. Elect Romney in the upcoming election. An old teacher of mine once remarked after the 1948 election (when Harry Truman defeated Tom Dewey against all expectations) that polls are like a woman---they change ten times a day and you best just accept them for how irrelevant they are. In other words, I would not pay attention to these polling results as the only reason for their existence is to keep a paycheck coming to the door of the likes of Chris Matthews and David Gregory amongst others.
This election will be decided as most have been, in the debates. Let me clarify this. The first debate in the TV age between JFK and Richard Nixon was pivotal in the Kennedy victory. Nixon was as prepared for television as much as you ingrates are prepared for my lectures. JFK stood at the lectern, a bronze warrior (as one writer noted) and took command of the stage. Those listening on radio thought Nixon had won, but the TV viewers thought JFK had. This resulted in an election in which Nixon was to have bested JFK to have turned tables overnight. Another example is 1980. Jimmy Carter was ahead in polling and the so called extremist Gov. Ronald Reagan appeared on stage towering over him. Reagan used his characteristic good humor, combined with his factual information to basically make a fool out of Carter. “There you go again” is such an iconic statement that it was even used by Democrats at their gathering this year. Carter actually put the final nail in his coffin by telling the nation that he had conversations with his then 8 year old daughter on “nuclear proliferation”. I believe Carter was aware of his folly at the debates end as he “wanted to thank the League of Women Voters for these last few hours of my life”..
IN closing, Mr. Romney will make mincemeat out of the President next Wednesday. And come Thursday morning the election will once again have the tables turned.
Something to think about this morning………
CLASS DISMISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon, 8:21: And we all know just how wonderful the replacement refs were!
This was your Write on Wed feature? Have you not been keeping up on the local news?
Hey, where is my comment on Dallas and Dallas fans?
Professor,
Remarkable coincidence, I too will be golfing in Palm Springs this weekend with some old friends.
Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby will round out my foursome in our annual get together
in the sun. Caddy chores will be handled by Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Mae West and Jane Mansfield. Our special guest this year will be Dwight David Eisenhower. Sadly Francis A. will not be able to attend due to a previous booking at the Sands but he is sending his Lear Jet to pick me up at the WB/SCR Airport. Perhaps we can get together for a cocktail, on me of course and I would be happy to introduce you to my imaginary friends.

Thanks for the unnecessary revisionist history lesson, faux professor. Some of it was accurate I know because I lived it. The rest was pure folly. And speaking of folly, "mincemeat"? Come on old timer, your droopie drawers are showing again. I hope the jello is good at the home this weekend.
Pass the cool whip, please.
Another Old Fool
Watch the professor go to California, discover medical marijuana, and come back as the most peaceful, happy, liberal person in NEPA...
...No, it'll never happen, but wouldn't it be great if it did?
the professor is just Daves conservative persona coming out. All you have to do is read his books, and you'll see the reading rate writing style is very similar

IF ONLY. I HAVE MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE DOING THIS BLOG. TO BECOME ANOTHER VERSION OF MYSELF IS REALLY TOO TIRING. I'M FLATTERED BUT I DON'T HAVE THE TALENT AND ENERGY. LONG LIVE THE PROFESSOR. SORRY TO DISAPPOINT BUT TO QUOTE THE TURLES SONG, "IT AIN'T ME BABE!"
Young Mr. Cassidy,
Although I truly wish you did have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Palm Springs as I have, you are telling a tall tale. All of those fine people you mentioned are DEAD.
If you are going to be at least a quarter ways successful in fooling this old fogie, at least DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Young man, you get an F!!
And, YOU ARE DISMISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
