This last week has scared me. Trump is doing what he damn well pleases and no one is even trying to stop him. Our democracy is currently dead. I'm not sure how it can be resurrected, but I'm hoping it will.

Trump wants to take over Greenland, the Panama Canal and rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of the vortex I'm obviously in that has somehow spun me into another dimension.

Visited with the post office lady today. It was slow. I was the only one there because everyone else had already mailed their packages to get there before Christmas. I didn't care. Her thoughts? Our economy is just fine. Made me kind of sad. (1)

I’m a little surprised the lack of college football bracket buzz. There isn’t that let’s fill out the bracket vibe you get with basketball. But then again that bracket isn’t that intriguing.

Every... single... story... I read about the President elect and his entourage makes me cringe. RFK Jr. wants fluoride out of water. Exactly why is this administration in favor of rotting teeth?

If I were the Chiefs, I'd bench Mahomes on Saturday. If K.C. loses to Houston, that's fine. Put the burden on Buffalo. But if the lead narrows, trot Mahomes out on Christmas Day with the more meaningful Pittsburgh game. That first round bye is huge.

So many all state selections for football. Let's just recycle the same list over and give yourself some free publicity. The Kansas buttscratch.com All State poll. Kind of genius. But where is there where anyone is doing actual stats?

People who say "I've done the research," haven't done the research.

Basketball starts tonight. No season takes more out of me than this one and I'm 60. But the Wellington teams are going to be pretty good, so I need keep up.

Now what? I watched Morning Joe because it was the one show that would take on the Trump machine. Now this morning they tell me they want to take a more consolatory approach! We are getting close to total authoritarianism.

If you are looking forward to the downfall of people, who have never hurt you, you are a bad person.

Snapping is hard.

Joining the rebellion. Cueball now has a Bluesky account.
