Sun NFL 11/17
Really don't like this card today. Lean to Wash, Pitt, NYJ, and GB. Just playing the Saints. Brees in his dome and Kapernick struggling, gotta play the home team.
NO -3
*In CBB, Oregon St and the 'brother-in-law', make their annual Thanksgiving trip to the DC area a few days early. This year, they take on the Terps -12' at the Comcast Center. They've been playing the cupcakes of the area, Howard, Mason, Towson, etc... Without looking back, I think they've covered every one. Being the conspiracy theorist I am, I don't think today will be any different. I'm sure 'someone' will be in attendance. Playing Ore St +12'.
Speaking of attendance...most of you know I live and work in the Gettysburg area. This year marked the 150th anniversary of the Battle. Which means Tuesday marks the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. For about 5-6 weeks, there have been US Marshalls scouring the area. The road past the Cemetery has been blocked for a couple weeks now. Yeah, word has leaked very faintly, that we are getting a 'visitor'. What a great way to spend a million bucks worth of tax dollars. Yeah, I know that 'everyone', in the past and future, has done photo ops before and it will continue. Why not spend it on 'stimulating' our brand new health care?!? ha Sarcasm doesn't type very well, but now that everyone knows my political position, I'm done. Definitely the wrong forum for this rant, but I feel better now!
For your entertainment........
***Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth
