MAYBE I’M AMAZED

Our “Maybe I’m Amazed” logo

MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that in the Philippines, our President, the United States President laughed like an ass when the head of that country said members of the press were like spies and should be assassinated. If you are a veteran who fought for freedom of speech and freedom of press, you should be outraged. If you are a Constitutionalist (and God knows there are tons of them around here who quote it when it fits their needs!) you should be ashamed that a duly elected leader of our nation laughs and tacitly endorses a strongman.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that now because Penn State is not setting fire to the College Football world, the head coach, James Franklin is no longer a genius.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that puny Pat Toomey came out of hiding and appeared on “Meet The Press” as well as local radio. The undercover Senator did say that Roy Moore is unqualified to be Senator from Alabama. Wow, that’s a real profile in courage didn't it for this bandwagon jumper? I understand given the recent cold snap, Pat's puny finger got chapped from the cold as he held it up in the air testing the political  winds.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that people are amazed that Bill Courtright won his race for Scranton so handily. Word was that the Mayor was down by double digits a month before the race. A media buddy of mine even indicated that to me. But a lot of counter, creative  advertising against his critics as well as Courtright’s skills gave him a decisive win.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that people are outraged over Bob Costas’ statements on NFL concussions. He has been saying the same thing for years but because it was picked up by USA Today, it was news to everyone. Again. He has been saying this stuff since 2010.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that the same people who are bitching about NFL players taking a knee, saying it disrespects to our flag, have nothing to say about their friends and neighbors having Confederate flags on their cars and houses.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that Apple Pie was designated as Vermont’s official state pie in 1999. Okay, makes sense, apples are the state fruit so I guess that’s logical.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the Attorney General Jeff Sessions wants to launch an investigation into the sale of Uranium (which is STILL in the US by the way) to Russia and The Clinton Foundation. He should worry more about lying to a Congressional panel and getting charged with perjury and obstruction than this attention diversion tactic. His “you know me” or “I forget about that” can only fly so many times. 
This is historic. The American people are seeing an Attorney General lie under oath. He didn't remember, doesn't recall, yada, yada yada. 
The little piss ant did say to a Congressman that he had a right to say anything to him (Sessions) because after all the Congressman can't be sued.  That is truly amazing.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…that the newest highly priced, sparkling water La Croix which has no sodium, no calories and sweeteners, a drink that many millennials as well as some boomers are buying  is made by of all companies SHASTA!

It is regarded as high end which for anyone who has bought Shasta, is well, a hoot.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that the Dallas School Board might go out on strike AGAIN because they are not happy with the District’s offer to increase the value of unused sick days upon retirement. Last year the “teachers” took a total of 1,210 full sick days — about 7 days per teacher — and 587 half sick days, So they are now being given a offer to increase them. Plus they accumulate. Grant Palfey Business Manager for the District also told The Citizen’s Voice that “They get 10 new sick days a year on top of their accumulated total of unused sick days.” But the cry babies and their union are threatening a strike. When you travel some places in the Back Mountain, you see signs on the lawns of some pretty spiffy looking houses that read “I LOVE DALLAS TEACHERS”. You guessed it, some are owned by the teachers. That’s pretty delusional. Time to send these leeches packing.
