MAYBE I’M AMAZED

Our “Maybe I’m Amazed” logo.

MAYBE I’M AMAZED...that the little borough of Plymouth has three firehouses while other larger areas have that same amount. Now granted there are a lot of hills there but I’m just wondering why you need three houses. There is a funding crunch and that happens when you have services to pay for and grant money from those big bad state and federal governments dry up.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED...that Trump is still trying to tell people that President Obama was NOT born in America. I’m afraid that our President will not be impeached nor will he quit. I’m thinking that he will be carried away by the proverbial men in the white coats.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED...at how much money retirees will lose on their retirement once this new tax plan goes through. What goes up must come down and you can bet that will happen.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED...that Democrats have been slow to get rid of their predators. First off it is the right thing to do. Second it is politically smart. You can be sure the GOP lie machine will say the Dems did it but the sainted GOP men will all of sudden be as white as the driven snow.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED...that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not only a horrible excuse for a press secretary but also for a woman. How she can deflect questions about pedophile Roy Moore is beyond me. And when she starts talking about how Christian she is...I laugh my ass off. She is the new Goebbels.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED..that as I write this in my doctor’s office I see a grown man, 6’4 pace like a three year old meandering around the waiting room. Sighs, grunts, no fart yet. Gray hair, beard, camouflaged hat. Oh my, he just got called and get this, snaps his finger at his wife to get up and follow him in. If I tried that with Mrs. LuLac I’d be across from that yellow 30mph sign on Middle Road entering Hanover sooner than later.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that on Friday, I heard the late afternoon talk show host on WILK say that he was sick and tired of hearing about Russia. Really? This former elected official who I guess took an oath to uphold our State Constitution one time, is sick and tired of an enemy that 13 intelligence agencies said they interviewed with our elections. Now he said this AFTER the guilty plea of Michael Flynn. Does he not know that Russia was instrumental in gathering intel on the United States candidates? I mean why the hell did he think Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI? Over campaign posters? Maybe he was trying to play to the base of Trump- o-crats and ingrates that think Trump is an angel. But I will be proved right on this, if Russian can hack our election, they will hack our power grids someday.
And this guy and his listeners will be crying like little babies when they can’t see in the dark, cook their food or call in a talk show where the host and many of his listeners are denying the danger in front of their faces.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that the stellar student of American history, TAHFQ says that the FBI’s reputation is in tatters and he will restore it. This clown that was duly elected by this country maybe doesn’t remember Watergate or understand that the FBI’s job is to KNOW the answers to the questions they are going to ask.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that Cumulus Radio, local owners of WARM, Magic 93, BHT and others has filed for bankruptcy. They bought Citadel which also filed for bankruptcy. Terrestrial radio, I am sad to say is dying. This happens because major radio groups over pay for cluster frequencies while the audience pie gets smaller and smaller. I worked in radio before and after the corporations took over. The big shots with the consultants weren’t any smarter than the mom and pop operations that ran radio outlets back in the day.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said on Face the Nation Sunday that he couldn’t comment on Trump, his reaction to Michael Flynn’s indictment as well as the indictment itself because he was too busy working two jobs. The first as Budget Director screwing the middle class, the second as Head of the Consumer Protection Bureau, screwing the middle class. The poor little baby whined that he was working on Sunday at two jobs.
Hmmmm. Is that like a person working in a store or eatery on the weekend to make ends meet? Is that like a person working 6 days a week, in some cases barely getting 30 hours for 8 bucks an hour? Is that like a weekend employee walking to work on a Sunday because they can’t afford a car? Or get a bus?
Little bitty Mick whining about working on Sundays to avoid answering a direct question is just what a greedy REPUBLICAN appointee would say while he works those two jobs to screw the people his REPUBLICAN party refuses to protect.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED..but not really that CBS changed horses midstream and sent Scott Pelley off to 60 Minutes for good in May. Tonight Jeff Glor will become the new permanent anchor for the CBS Evening News. (Anthony Mason has been anchoring the program on in interim basis since Pelley's departure).[Glor has been with the network less than 10 years and was born in 1975. CBS apparently feels they need a younger person to compete with ABC World News with David Muir.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that Merrill Reese is still my favorite football announcer since Howard Cosell. 

Reese is a homer, he’s hysterical but can be fair. But boy does he give his opinion. The classic line last night from him when the Eagles played the Seahawks was, “Are they gonna call a penalty on every play?” Gotta love the guy and yes even those Eagles.
