It seems the whole world's gone crazy...
- Useless U.N. diplomats sit respectfully and listen to an insane, genocidal lunatic, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, spout his bombast before a long-discredited forum -- on Yom Kippur, no less...
- The Middle East is burning, Iran is close to developing nuclear weapons, and the American economy is sickly. Yet President Obama, in all his arrogance, appears on Letterman and with the ditzes of "The View." He cracks an inane joke about being "eye candy" for the show's mostly female viewers. Even so, he's locked up the votes of about 50 percent of the electorate. If this isn't an indication our nation is in serious trouble, I don't know what is.
- Has-been singer Madonna, who craves attention like an insecure 13-year-old, found that showing her breast or bringing a firearm on stage were not shocking enough. So the other night during one of her concerts, she blurted out that we have "a black Muslim" in the White House. She also promised to strip on stage if Obama wins re-election. It's probably safe to say that about 99 percent of her fans are big Obama supporters.
- Obama's wretched hatchet man, Sen. Harry Reid, one of the most despicable humans to ever walk the earth, stated that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has "sullied" the Mormon religion. Oh yeah? Kind of like Reid has sullied the U.S. Senate, state of Nevada and politics in general? Hmmmm. I again reiterate: Perhaps Scary Harry just isn't playing with a full deck.
- The NFL's lousy replacement refs have been screwing up left and right, making costly errors that are affecting the outcome of games. Monday night was the epitome of it all, as the zebras called a game-winning pass by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to receiver Golden Tate complete. In fact, Green Bay Packer defender M.D. Jennings obviously intercepted the pass and Tate tried to yank it out of Jennings' hands. It's possible the refs were intimidated by how the huge Seattle crowd would react if they ruled in favor of Green Bay.
- Belatedly, I have to mock the legions of U-M slappies, most notably beat reporter Angelique Chengelis of The Detroit News, who touted Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson for the Heisman Trophy. Robinson has always been an erratic passer, and this past Saturday he threw four interceptions and fumbled once in a loss to Notre Dame. And he's a senior, no less. Yeah, Denard's a Heisman candidate like John L. Smith is the next Vince Lombardi.
- Can't let my Spartans off the hook either. They were supposed to have one of the Big Ten's best offensive lines and a stable of reliable receivers. Instead, quarterback Andrew Maxwell has been hounded by intense pressure, and when he does have time to throw, his receivers keep dropping passes. they dropped about eight passes in a Sept. 15 loss to Notre Dame, and about six more in an uninspiring win vs. Eastern Michigan on Sept. 22. The MSU defense is respectable, but the offense looks to be about as feeble as the Obama economy.
Strange days, indeed. Reminds me of some funny lyrics by the Electric Light Orchestra in the song "Do Ya." Their 1976 recording was a harder-rock version of the original 1971 tune written by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne when he was with The Move:
In this life Ive seen everything I can see woman
Ive seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
Ive seen babies dancing in the midnight sun
And Ive seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
Ive seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And Ive seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you
Kinda sums it up...
