Royal Droppings

1) Whacked out Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich recently said that he wants to have a colony on the moon by 2020 and then make it a U.S. state. Now, your King may be a fan of anything space oriented but even I know that Newt is whacked out. Ol' Newt visits states, that are having primaries, and tells the people there exactly what they want to hear. Florida is the home of NASA so why not speak of space things. How many billions of dollars would all of the things that he has promised to provide in each state that has had or will have a primary soon, and it has only been a few so far, to make them happy will cost the government. And I thought my ex-queen was a spendaholic. Even Bob Dole said that Newt was whacked out when he was the Speaker in Congress. Why is this nut job getting so much support? The man is radioactive!
2) Neal Kitson, former goalkeeper of the Rochester Rhinos soccer club, believes he is making a big move by signing with a club in England. Your King has done a bit of research on this club. Northampton Town, FC is in the fourth division of the English league. Right now they are at the very bottom of that division, with only 21 points, meaning that if they do not win a few games they are heading for relegation to the fifth, and lowest, division. The English fifth division is equivalent to playing on a team based in Mt. Morris or Dansville. That is quite a drop from playing in Rochester. Their stadium is almost half the size of Sahlens Stadium, here in Rochester, seating less than 7,000 people. Right now Neal says he is going to be a backup keeper on that team. Hmm, a backup keeper on a team headed nowhere but down. Sounds like a step up to me, doesn't it? Neal says that he is looking forward to being seen by other clubs and hopes to make a career in England. Knowing British football I know that backup keepers never play so how does Neal figure he is going to be exposed to other clubs? Still, I wish him luck even though he is a bit moronic.
3) Reading the paper lately your King believes that JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and other major banks will never have their corporate headquarters located in Fairbanks, Alaska. At least that is what a lot of home owners probably believe. Just a funny thought.
4) Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of North Korea, has been on the job for about a month now and he has not threatened to blow up anybody yet. That is a step in the right direction but then again maybe that fat little toad cannot pull his pudgy face far enough away from the buffet table to say anything. To bad that the only buffet table in North Korea is located at the royal palace since everyone else in that country is starving.
5) It is now January 28 and the ground is still bare in Moronica. I do not recall in all of my years ever seeing a winter like this. Even when we have had slow starts in prior winters Mother Nature has always made up for lost time but not this winter, yet. I just hope that we do not pay for this in the spring.
6) Day 28 of the MSG blackout. I am now past the physical addiction part to Buffalo Sabre broadcasts but the psychological part is still bugging me. Thank goodness they stink or my condition would be a lot worse. I have been reading, and commenting on, the updates about the Sabres on 'Hockey Talk with Hornswoggle' on Facebook and even he says that the Sabres are going nowhere. If Hornswoggle says that then it must be true.
Well, that is enough for today. Have a pleasant day!
