BloggeRhythms 9/20/2010

Yesterday I noted that I didn't think it would be anytime soon that I'd be writing about the Jets, because not having an NFL quarterback didn't bode well for their season. Then, lo and behold, somewhere around the second half of the second quarter, a real quarterback did arrive on the field in Mark Sanchez's uniform. And in the second half, that guy blew the Pats back to New England. In fact, Tom Brady probably went home and racked up another Audi in Back Bay in anger.

Now, obviously, I don't really know what lit Sanchez up yesterday afternoon, but for about forty minutes of the game he looked like the guy that Pete Carroll nurtured at USC. Beyond that, some four hundred pound lineman landed on Sanchez's bad knee and the kid walked off the hit, came right back and slung a thirty yard pass right on the money. So, maybe he's not as fragile as everyone thinks. We'll see.

But, as for me, I've been a fan of Gang Green for a very long time, and have been through "saviors," "boy wonders," and "phenoms" countless times with this team. So, before we have a parade and start selling Super Bowl tickets let's see what happens next week in Miami, and then the week after that at the Bills. As a matter of fact, let's wait until February 7, 2011, when we'll really know what happened good or bad for the Jets all season, and write our opinions then.

In the meantime Republicans everywhere are talking and projecting about what they'll do after election day to overturn all the legislation the Dem's have rammed through since gaining a majority in Congress. They're especially focused on repealing the health care bill, cutting taxes, and slashing spending. Now, that all sounds good and might even help the country, but they're making a huge mistake by sounding off.

Everyone, especially politicians, knows that the American population is made up of the most impatient people in the world. We all want instant gratification and immediate, if not sooner, results. So, as election day draws nearer,and in anticipation of a Republican win, folks are beginning to act as if the events have already taken place. Some businesses are starting to hire, the stock markets inching up and the next thing you know, banks might even start to lend again.

But, this is only September. And if things keep looking good for the next few weeks, who'll take the credit for the anticipated turnaround? The Democrats now in office of course. And that may mean, since things are rosier, many Dem's might be re-elected who other wise would have lost.

So, I'll go back to my comment yesterday, about Ms O'Donnell in Delaware declining interview invitations on national TV. If the Republicans really want to win in November they should follow her example, simply sit on their hands, keep quiet and stay out of the public eye. Because, they're not front-running because of their policies or plans, they're leading because they're not incumbents. And, as for whatever it is they're babbling about, nobody gives a damn.

That's it for today folks.

Adios.
