AMERICAN leauge PSYCHO

Last night Milton Bradley (who the Royals tried to trade for last year) lost his temper again. This time his target was not an umpire or another player but Ryan Lefebvre the TV play by play man for the Royals. How he heard the comments that were made on TV about the game he was playing in is beyond me but this guy needs to be disciplined.

While the NFL is taking dramatic steps to clean up its image what exactly has MLB done?

David Wysong - Please leave the Republican Party

Today I stumbled upon a link to a story dealing with a state wide smoking ban in Kansas and couldn't believe who wrote it. I am use to reading stories dealing with people wanting to take away your personal freedoms but they are usually from liberal wackos, not this time. It was a Republican.

I had to do a google search in order to find out who in fact David Wysong was and it turns out that he is a a REPUBLICAN State senator for Kansas(mission hills district). Does our party need people like this representing us? How does the Republican party continue to let leftist socialist enter its ranks? If Wysong wants to be a state senator, fine but let him run as a democrat or an independent.

This guy is letting a personal loss in his family effect his legislating ability.

BROBECKS BBQ PART 3

I went to this place again (3rd time) in hopes of finding a higher quality of food than the previous 2 visits and all of those in my group were disappointed. They have gotten a little bit better but not nearly enough to make this place a "must eat" BBQ joint. The sausage was decent, the ham salad app was pretty good and the ribs were just average. The only thing that saves this place is the quality of service.

While they are no longer an avoid at all costs type of place they still fall short of making the top 20 list.

BEING SICK SUCKS

Here is an update for those of you keeping score at home. Last Thursday I went to my 6th Doctor and he seemed to be a little bit more on the ball than the previous ass clowns I had been to. He said that with the steroid shot and medications that he gave me that I should start feeling better by this past Sunday...............

Well that didn't work out quite as planned. I was in just as much pain yesterday as I was last Monday. So today I go in for more tests.
