Foley texted me last week about the World Cup and I thought the thing was over. Apparently, it keeps on going after the United States is out. Who knew? I suppose the streetcars are still full and such, so that’s good. Carry on.
I’m writing this on Sunday. If the Royals have not fired a few people by the time the All-Star Break is over, I’ll be shocked. I’m not a “fire them all” guy usually, but this has been epic bad. If our seasoned baseball people in the front office and management believed this was a playoff contending team, then they are not good at this and for that alone, some changes should be made.
I saw a guy at Price Chopper today with a shirt that said $!@#$ ICE, MAGA and “Your President.” It seemed a bit aggressive for the Smithville Price Chopper on a Sunday afternoon. I suppose his Old Navy shirts were dirty. Probably shares this shirt with his wife, to be honest.
I could tell he was a liberal before I even saw the shirt, just by the way he and his wife were handling the vegetables. A little too much caressing of the broccoli florets for my comfort. Anyway, random dude hates ICE, MAGA and DJT. I love the toned-down rhetoric from the left. Gives me warm fuzzies.
Mitch McConnell is back! I am praying that he gets to usher one more Supreme Court justice onto the court before Heaven or Hell call him home. I just think it is entertaining that this dude has spent his entire life reshaping the court. Seems like a lot of effort that most of us would not commit to.
I suppose that guy at Price Chopper does not care for old Mitch, but it is unclear because it was not on his shirt.
The Royals and Orioles had a bench clearing issue last week and the Royals are not even good at that. It was embarrassing as the bullpen players went out single file behind the Oriole bullpen. Not a single punch, slap or decent insult was issued by the Royals.
Yordano would have thrown hands quicker than the Parkville mayor at a good vacuum spot. Rest in peace, Yordano.
Once the city settles the almost inevitable forthcoming lawsuit over the mayor’s vacuum incident, they should start a new festival.
Maybe have car vacuum races and such. Instead of a dunking booth, the mayor and his wife could take on some citizens in getting cars vacuumed out quickly. Kind of a combo Demolition Derby/car vacuum contest. Slide in the car wash like Bo Duke and whip out some hose would be an interesting upgrade to the standard festival games.
I’d just play Jim Croce “Workin’ at the Car Wash Blues” on repeat to save on entertainment.
I’m just spit balling here, but you get the idea, the government folks can take it from here.
(Guy Speckman can be reached practicing his car wash fundamentals)
