Geilfuss Starts His Campaign


Well, my Geilfuss for governor of Maryland campaign is taking off. And by taking off I mean that I've heard from 3 people who agree with me. One of them is Geilfuss himself. In fact, Geilfuss has started a new website to hype up his candidacy, post some policy thoughts, and offer up cabinet suggestions in case he wins (I informed him today that I thought he was a bit of a long shot). I urge everyone to visit his site and encourage Geilfuss to further flesh out his policy positions. The address is: http://www.cousinfrankfromspain.blogspot.com/ - I won't even try to explain the origins of the name of this new candidate site. Quite frankly, the reason Geilfuss gave for the name confused the hell out of me.


Interesting comment after last Thursday's post about Geilfuss for governor. I know I've got some followers in places I've never visited who've heard about this blog somehow or other. But I wasn't aware there were any readers of this blog from Milwaukee. Well, there is at least one. The commenter from Friday noted that Caitlin Upton (her picture was featured at the top of the post) went to school in Boone, North by God Carolina. And I was unaware of that. I appreciate the info. Then this commenter ended the comment by signing off with - Go Bucks! At first I thought it might be Brandon leaving a drunken comment, as Brandon is a fan of the City of Tampa. But even drunk, Brandon would spell Bucs correctly. Then I realized that this commenter had to be a fan of the Milwaukee Bucks. And I'm down with that. My man Paul Pressey.


Speaking of City of Tampa, thanks to the abomination that has become Carson Palmer, they knocked Geilfuss and I out of Survivor. In case you missed it, Cincinnati had the football up 7 with 2:28 left. Then Carson threw 2 interceptions to hand the game to City of Tampa. Mind you, this was after Palmer threw a pick 6 earlier in the contest to get City of Tampa into the ballgame. The whole thing is utterly ridiculous. And frustrating. I'd floated the idea of taking Indy for Survivor. In retrospect, ...


Speaking of football, I haven't posted my picks here the last few weeks. Maybe that's the key, as I've been on fire. I don't want to jinx it, but even Dave (Glenn Beck's #1 fan) has made $240 the past 2 NFL Sundays. College has been even better. 3-0 this past Saturday, as Minnesota, Michigan St, and Mizzu all beat the number. And 2 outright dog winners in the NFL yesterday with the Titans and Raiders.


Oh, one last football note - Pat Forde had it right in an article on ESPN.com last week. Les Miles has made a pact with the devil. It's the only logical explanation for how LSU keeps winning despite some of the most clueless, pitiful, and weird playcalling/clock management in the history of the known world.


One last, last football note - Brandon overheard a Cowboy fan at Scams Brassfield yesterday claim that Detroit's win over the Rams was their first home victory since 1997. And once again, that's the typical Cowboy fan for you. They just say misinformed thing after misinformed thing. There are exceptions of course. But they are few and far between.


I've got something about our friend Barry that I'll get to soon. These people in the Democrat Party are imploding. Fucking imploding.

TBFH - Sorry not from Milwaukee. Actually, the 'Bucks' reference was to tout our mutual love of the team from that school off of High St. in Columbus. Speaking of throwback Bucks, how about my man Alvin Robertson?
