MAYBE I’M AMAZED

Our “Maybe I’m Amazed” logo

MAYBE I'M AMAZED....at how the Senate Republicans are blaming the Democrats on that committee for the defects of their nominee for Supreme Court. Where is the evidence of a Democratic smear campaign posited by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas. He must have said, "What are you talking about?"  5 times to John Dickerson's questions when he was interviewed on "Face The Nation".
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…that “Never odd or even” spelled backwards is still “Never odd or even”.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…….that elimination of Property Taxes are now a front and center issue in Pennsylvania politics. And why some Democrats don’t get on board completely to me is beyond comprehension.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED..that two trees can create enough oxygen for a family of 4.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…but not, that surely and slowly, the Luzerne County debt is going down. Kudos to the bi partisan Council for not standing in the way of that happening.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED.. that Mexican jumping beans jump to get out of sunlight.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that Saturday Night Live might be over its limit with satire to fill up content for this season. Just look at all the stuff that happened since their last show in May.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED …that a Shrimp’s heart is it its head.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…that networks and Cable shows even invite Kelly Anne Conway anymore on to give her views. It is usually false, petty and argumentative. .Well you get that on Cable but her posits are miles away from truth and reality. 
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..at just how bad the Baltimore Orioles did this year. Once a proud franchise, now they are in the rubbish bin. But they’ll rebound but who knows when at this point.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED.....that the spiral shapes of sunflowers follow the Fibonacci sequence. . a set in which each number is the sum of the previous two (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, ...), found in everything from pineapples to pine cones. In this case, the telltale sign is the number of different seed spirals on the sunflower's face. Count the clockwise and counterclockwise spirals that reach the outer edge, and you'll usually find a pair of numbers from the sequence: 34 and 55, or 55 and 89, or—with very large sunflowers—89 and 144. Although the math may be beautiful, plant biologists have not worked out a mechanistic model that fully explains how the sunflower seed patterns arise. The problem is that plants don't always show perfect Fibonacci numbers—real life is messy—and data on real sunflower diversity is scarce. How about that!!!??

MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that even as the gap between his opponent Bob Casey widens against him in the race for U.S. Senate, Lou Barletta is defending Trump to the death. Poetical death? Nah! He’ll lose the Senate race but will find work in the Trump administration. After taking a bullet for Diaper Don and running an awkward campaign against Casey.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..but really not, that when you watch an Ohio State-Penn State game, you must not turn it off when either team, (especially the Nittany Lions) have any type of lead. Case in point was last evening’s game on ABC. 
MAYBE I'M AMAZED......that in the future, there will be many historians just wondering why in the 21st century, 

 there were only MEN on a Judiciary committee of a major political party.
