Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/25/13

3 Up

1. 50th Anniversary of MLK Speech - It's amazing to think that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made his most famous speech in D.C. 50 years ago. Long live The Dream. 

2. Ichiro Suzuki - No matter what some may say, 4,000 hits is pretty damn impressive. And that's Japan or MLB.

3. Peru's Mashco-Piro Indians - I just thought this story was cool. Also, pretty hard to wrap your mind around the idea that there are tribes that are still in isolation.

3 Down

1. Death of Chris Lane - The thought that an innocent kid from Australia here on a baseball scholarship would have his life taken while jogging because three teens were "bored" is incomprehensible. Disgusting. and most of all, heartbreaking.

2. Unbelievable Letter - The idea that any mother would write this letter to another is quite frankly, shocking. But I guess this is the type of world we are living in. Sad.

3. Wild Wing Cafe - For bringing the 60's back with this action. Yes, I too couldn't believe this story was real.

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/15/24

3 Up 1. James Earl Jones - The voice GOAT. But I'll always remember him in one of my favorite movies, Coming to America , in the absolute epic role of King Joffe Joffer. "Where is my son, Akeem!". A great gift to us.   2. A'ja Wilson - The WNBA has entered our mainstream sports landscape because of Caitlin Clark. Yes, that is very true. But there is an amazing talent in A'ja Wilson who continues to dominate, and this week, she set the single-season scoring record and likely will do the same in smashing the single-season rebound record.  3. Inflation Lowest in 3 Years - I know it's a hot-button issue during this election season. BUT! It is the lowest it's been in three years. I'm not crediting or blaming anyone! Just saying! Enjoy the change, y'all.  3 Down 1. Trump Shooting at Golf Course - Look, this is crazy. No matter how you feel about Trump, your thoughts on him as a Presidential candidate, or anything else regarding politics, this should NOT

Thoughts on Second 2024 Presidential Debate

That was soooooooooo much different than what we witnessed in the first debate.  So. Much. Different.  Yet, why does it still feel like not much was impacted? Overall, I stepped away from this debate with the overarching theme that Kamala Harris did what she needed to do. And that was not engage in a pity back-and-forth with Trump who wants to muddy the waters of any debate or discourse, force him to bring something new to the table and force him to get into a policy discussion beyond the usual surface sayings and fire-alarm narratives.  She did that.  For Trump. He has his voters. He is not losing them. But I thought Trump didn't do enough to interest those voters who have soured on him as well as those who are not yet sold on Kamala (this administration, or even the Democratic Party).  We saw the same from Trump. No need to answer questions. Dictate the narrative with what you want. Reply with emotion. Evade policy discussion. And you know, be Trump.  Was there a winner? In a tra
