almost 50 years ago. And it was probably trite then, but Miss Krumseik didn’t read the funnies.

This guy moved from the back of the paper to the front. Shoot from the hip my a**.

Great leaders don’t let that happen. In fact, decent leaders don’t let that happen.

If “if, ands or buts were candy & nuts, every day would be Christmas”

But they’re not. Obama, you lost.

What did the media and Democrat “partisans” -including Obama - do to Bush for the last 8 years?

And, Lupica’s really lost it if he thinks the media is “undermining” Obama for actually asking 1 tough question out of 12,000 fluff questions O’s received,

“But Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, even if he isn’t the best and brightest, isn’t the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, either. “–Mike Lupica

Mr. Lupica, President Obama told all of us that we needed to overlook Geithner’s tax evasion because he was not only the “best and brightest,” but because he was the “only-est.” There is no excuse for this level of ineptitude.

The little red hen called all of her neighbors together and said:

“If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?”

“Not I,” said the cow.

“Not I,” said the duck.

“Not I,” said the pig.
“Not I,” said the goose.

“Then I will do it by myself,” said the little red hen, and so she did.

The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.

“Who will help me reap my wheat?” asked the little red hen.

“Not I,” said the duck..

“Out of my classification,” said the pig.

“I’d lose my seniority,” said the cow.

“I’d lose my unemployment compensation,” said the goose.

“Then I will do it by myself,” said the little red hen, and so she did.

At last it came time to bake the bread.

“Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the little red hen.

“That would be overtime for me,” said the cow.

“I’d lose my welfare benefits,” said the duck.

“I’m a dropout and never learned how,” said the pig.

“If I’m to be the only helper, that’s discrimination,” said the goose.

“Then I will do it by myself,” said the little red hen.

She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, “No, I shall eat all five loaves.”

“Excess profits!” cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)

“Capitalist leech!” screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
“I demand equal rights!” yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)

The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)

And they all painted “Unfair!” picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, “You must not be so greedy.”

“But I earned the bread,” said the little red hen.

“Exactly,” said Barack the farmer. “That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle.”

And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, “I am grateful, for now I truly understand.”

But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the ‘party’ and got her bread free. And all smiled ‘Fairness’ had been established.

Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared…so long as there was free bread that ‘the rich’ were paying for.

EPILOGUE

Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.

Hillary got $8 million for hers.

That’s $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight years, repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn’t remember anything.

IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD OR WHAT?

caster on KTLA channel 5. He was funny, introspective and fully interesting.

His career on ESPN was no different.

As a newsmaker, Olbermann has become something other than what he was. He is more intense, less funny, completely into his gig and no doubt believes what he is saying. It doesn’t matter whether we agree with him or not. I’ve seen him through all aspects of his career and believe me, he believes.

Sometimes, that is just how it works. Rush, Hannity, etc. They believe what they tell you. Olbermann is just the other side of the coin.

He whines about “what if” political writers covered sports while he is a not so gifted sports writer attempting to cover politics.

Quite honestly, Mr. Lupica should stick to doing just that.

The man “gets it” when talking about the Yankees - somehow, he has the history in his blood (I may live in Flori-duh, but I was hatched in Noo Yawk and Da Bronx Bombaz is me boyz).

He’s got a few VERY good sports books and my Sundays are not really complete unless I watch at least some of ‘The Sports Reporters’.

Beyond that, Mr. L. and me - we’ve met a few times at a certain top-level country club in Westchester NY…… Yo Mikey: As much as we’re all free to express your opinions (for now) and you have the semi-national outlet to do so - when it comes to politics, I honestly wish you’d keep it to yourself.

Cheers !

Occasionally I travel into the greater metropolitan New York City area while I’m scanning the stations I listen to Don Imus’ show. He had Lupica on a while back and the amazing thing is that Lupica was able to even annoy Don Imus with what a tool he sounds like when he tries to discuss politics.

I don’t think “the pot calling the kettle black” was ever more fitting.

I’m sure that contradiction is apparent even to this sportswriter. The Olbermann crack up happened a long, long time ago. He made his early bones by denying the media was biased to the left and now hosts a vile and little-watched leftist propaganda screed. Olbermann never saw the contradiction and he still doesn’t.

Lupica is a tiresome hack who is not even a good sportswriter.

How’s that protest at Augusta National going?
The lifts in your heels? Working out? Good.

Hack.

And it’s not NSFW, per se. There is a rather hefty language warning associated with it, however.

“These are the people who now announce that Barack Obama is doomed and the economy is doomed and the stimulus package is doomed, do that with great moral certainty, even though they sound as if they are as qualified to be economists as they are astronauts.”

Got it. Great moral certainty = bad.

“This isn’t about them because it is about Obama, the one guy who can get us out of this, whom the country believes in even as it is told constantly that he is some kind of raw rookie in over his head, who wants to do what great Presidents are supposed to do in times of crisis, which means lead, and inspire, and make brave decisions, and make the country confident again.”

The one guy who can get us out of this??? How does Lupica know that? Moral certainty in defense of The One is no vice to the O fan club.
