END THIS EXPERIMENT




On Sunday the NFL played the first of three regular season games at London's Wembley Stadium. The first game featured the Miami Dolphins defeating the Oakland Raiders 38-14. Next month the Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons head overseas for a kickoff that will be in the afternoon in London but a very early morning kickoff in the states. The last game happens the Sunday after Election Day when the Jacksonville Jaguars who have agreed to surrender a home game for the next two seasons to play in London against the Dallas Cowboys.

This experiment of playing a regular season NFL game overseas has to stop.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS?



Kansas has unexpectedly become the center of American politics in 2014.

Most of this election is focusing on the Senate battlegrounds of Colorado, North Carolina, and New Hampshire because two years ago those states were presidential battleground. Kansas was not one of those states.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY



In my previous post about Kentucky I presented this scenario of a Republican controlled Senate without Senator McConnell.

Here is another scenario: Republicans end up with a 51-49 advantage.

One seat would have made all the difference between a 50-50 Democratic Senate and a combative Republican Senate adding to the dysfunction in Washington.

CLUSTERFUCK





Normally I don't include profanities in my writings nor the titles of postings unless I feel there is a need for them.

This is one of those times.
