Rudy!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

ABC News:

Well before it was publicly known he was seeing her, then-married New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani provided a police driver and city car for his mistress Judith Nathan, former senior city officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

“She used the PD as her personal taxi service,” said one former city official who worked for Giuliani.

It’s OK, he’s a Republican.

Tactics

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Super Rookie once said:

I am saying that until people don’t get lapped at will we shouldn’t be talking about tactics.

I don’t think I agree.

If you know, for a fact, that you are not going to win a race does that mean you should not employ any tactics in order to attempt to achieve the best possible placing? I think you should.

On another note, are team tactics on the track really lame?

I don’t think they are but it depends upon what you call tactics.

Blocking? That’s kind of lame.

Intentionally slowing down the pack by soft pedaling at the front. Lame.

Sitting on a chase without contributing? Taking short pulls? Counter attacking after a team mate gets caught? Lame? I don’t think so.

Teams race on the track and team tactics can play a roll role.

Two years old today.
It’s hard to get a good picture of him because he’s always on the move.

Rudy

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Is his candidacy for Prezit all done, or will this be another case of “It’s OK if you are a Republican?”

FOX News, of all places:

Obscure New York City government agencies picked up tens of thousands of dollars in expenses racked up for security detail used by former mayor Rudy Giuliani during trips to the Hamptons, purportedly to visit paramour (as in the woman he was screwing while married to his 2nd wife) Judith Nathan, according to a news report out Wednesday.

I’m sure it killed those guys to post this news about their golden boy Saint Rudy of 9/11.



Commenter of the Year Winner!

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

The votes are in, thank you all for taking part!

I am happy to announce that the 2007 Smithers MINNEAPOLIS fabulous website Commenter of the Year winner, with a total of 11 votes, Lunatic Ray!

It was a tight battle between B2B and Ray, but Ray was able to step up his game in just the last week to take the prize.

So congratulations Ray! You win a fresh Happenings Book, with membership card, so you can take your lovely wife out for dinner to celebrate your victory.

By the way, I should have told all of you that the poll was meaningless in determining the Commenter of the Year and I was just going to pick the winner on my own. Sorry for the late notice on that.
