*Watched the documentary Park Avenue last night. You should too, especially if you're one of those that supports the Tea Party, stands on Metroplex overpasses with signs that read "Obamacare Kills!" or belches rhetoric like "Too much big government!" It's a disgusting hour-long reminder that, in America, the game is for the Haves not to help the Have-Nots with their plentiful resources, but instead to keep the underprivileged paralzyed with their political power. It's nauseating. It's just not in my DNA to embrace such a self-entitled class distinction or to have such a disregard for my fellow man. What you get makes a living, but what you give makes a life. When the Tea Party denounces big government and warns that we're losing our freedom, what it's really desiring is an elimination of government programs - such as food stamps - that help the poor get out of poverty. It must be so conflicting being a so-called Conservative Christian these days, because you have to hold up The Bible with one hand and keep the poor's head under water with the other. How you can you possibly be okay with 30 percent of Dallas kids living in poverty?
*Tonight for one minute it will be 9:10 on 11.12.13. 11.12.13 is a rare, sequential date that we won't see the likes of again until ... actually, a year from now on 12.13.14. But brides loves crap like this. At a Las Vegas chapel there are 65 weddings today, after only seven yesterday. When Sybil and I were choosing details, she was also concerned with the numbers of the date, settling on 1.14.14. I don't get it. At all. But then again I don't believe there's anything unlucky about 13. If so, shouldn't this entire year suck?
*College basketball gets rollin' tonight with No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 2 Michigan State. You don't know any of the fabulous freshmen now, but you will by April 5. That's when the Final Four comes to AT&T Stadium.
*I swear there are some folks blaming the Cowboys' 49-17 loss on Tony Romo. I'm not saying he was good. He was hapless, like the rest of his teammates. But it's just so lazy to blame the biggest target. Romo is having a Pro Bowl season on a team featuring the worst defense in franchise history. Blaming him is like walking up to a guy with both legs amputated and making fun of his flabby arms. How bad is the Cowboys' defense? This year it has set franchise single-game records for points in a home game (51), points in a 4th quarter (24), 400-yard passers (4), total yards (625) and first downs (40). If Garrett Hartley wouldn't have missed his 37-yard field goal the Cowboys would have allowed 50+ points in a span of six weeks. Says Monte Kiffin, "It's not good at all. Not good."
*Hot.
*Not.
