Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

One of the benefits to Colorado joining the Big 12 that is not discussed enough is how this move adds another year of runway to Deion Sanders career as head coach. Now he gets a benefit of the doubt year his rookie season and with this move he adds another benefit of the doubt year for the Buffalo’s first year in the Big 12. His first recruiting class won’t face real pressure till they’re going into their Junior seasons… The time travel explanation for UFO's is my favorite - meaning most amusing... Ancient Rome had rules prohibiting Senators from overseas trade. We should have similar rules today. Think average Americans are sick of politicians who get rich while in office… 'Merica - knew what was about to happen as soon as I saw this. Still kinda genius... If I ran a legal weed dispensary I’d have Big Guy Crackers that would have the seal of the President of the United States on them and come infused with 10 Mg of THC. The slogan would be “10% for the Big Guy to help you forget all your troubles.” Think it would be a big seller… Strangely one of the first steps toward fixing this country is to ensure that active duty member of the Coast Guard get paid even in the event of a government shutdown. Currently they are the only branch of the military that is not paid during one of these squabbles. Think it would give the President much more leverage to keep the government shut down and actually help reduce spending… Who knew? Shakespeare actually invented the phrase, “Et tu Brute?” Caesar never said that… Can I Trade Mark "The Artist Formerly Known as Twitter? Asking for a friend... Who knew? Foo Fighters are a real thing... 100 years ago the radicals were arguing for evolution and Charles Darwin while today’s radicals are arguing that gender is a choice and for personal choice of pronouns. Think we may have taken a giant step backwards… Three of the reasons we still remember Augustus today are because he was the longest serving Roman emperor, he arranged it so he’d be the last person to receive a Tribute parade, and the month of August is named after him (it was changed from Sextillis in 8 BCE). Would he happy if just these three facts were taught in school but that may be asking too much… Think the debacle of not adding SDSU to the PAC 12 also hastened Colorado’s departure to the Big 12. They really screwed the pooch there…
