Marathon Day Here in LA...

noreply@blogger.com (JBG) — Mon, 25 May 2009 15:49:00 +0000

kinda cool and overcast so perfect weather for running a marathon but the course has changed again so this race does not have a consistant personality like Boston or NY. There is talk about changing next year to a more "LA" experience course with a start at Dodger Stadium and finish at the Ocean....now that has possibilities...

Today in LA where you really can surf and ski in the same day. Couple of feet of new snow and sets of waves up to 14 ft. Pictures taken without moving my feet.

Marathon Blogging..

noreply@blogger.com (JBG) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:50:00 +0000

I have been fooling around with some long weekend runs and toying with the idea of running the LA Marathon in March....unfortunately, that particular race is now in May...Doh! I blame the republicans the nefarious bastards...

Anyway, a friend suggested looking into the Catalina Marathon which happens to be held in March (at least so far) and since I love Catalina, it is an idea that appeals to me.

The rub is that the race is considered one of the best marathons but also in very top as challenges go. Is it hilly you might ask? Oh yes, it is hilly. How hilly? Well something like 19 miles of hills that are mostly up.

Hmmmm, that certainly changes the equation somewhat. Best leave the decision to later time but the elavation chart below should give a pretty good idea of what one would be up against. You can click to enlarge...

stupid movie but there are some funny parts if you are into juvenile humor and Will Ferrell almost always delivers some memorable scenes.... The job interviews in tuxedos scenes are classic and this is part of it...

Senate address for which he received a standing O from his colleagues....seems inappropriate since he is a convicted criminal. No matter though, his career is fittingly down the "tubes" now.

Very Impressive..

win for Obama and for the Dems. A few quick observations about last night..

Bill Bennet on CNN telling me the country is "center-right". Uh, Bill...shove it.
David Gregory on MSNBC telling me that Obama should be worried now that he won? What a douchebag...how about giving it a day Dave?
Suprising moment...McCain's concession speech was pretty gracious and seemed sincere...good thing he didn't try that during campaign.
Palin was just about crying during above...boo-fucking-hoo.
Obama's speech was about as good as it gets...touching moment telling his daughters they can bring a puppy to the White House. (apparently they have been trying to convince him to get one for some time)
Anyone else see Bob Shrum as Bozo the Clown and W.C. Fields love child? That guy has the biggest reddest nose I have ever seen...what a honker.
Heard alot about the Dems needing to reach across the aisle to Repugs...really? I don't see it that way. Only reason to reach across certainly to far righties would be so they can clearly see you giving them the finger.

A Local Rightwing Nut...

hung Obama in effigy as part of her holloween display...classy, classy person her. Check the article and my letter to the editor below...

Your front page Oct. 30 story about the McCain supporter hanging Barrack Obama in effigy was troubling to say the least. Her choice of imagery is stunningly offensive to most Americans with even a passing familiarity with our nation's history. For Ms. Castaneda to contend that she was unaware of the negative racial undertones associated with her display is hardly believable. Even so, it is not hard to see why most of the country has turned against politicians that seek to reduce politics to the lowest common denominator so to avoid even a cursory examination of the real issues we face today

Ms. Casaneda and similarly uninformed voters are reduced to citing demonstrably false talking points about bibles and flag pins that only highlight their embarrassing ignorance. Fortunately, this election cycle has proven to be worthy of discussions more focused on serious policy differences instead of the type of nonsensical issues Ms. Castaneda seems to prefer. I highly doubt that she would be able to correctly identify any actual policy positions on either side of the political spectrum. Sadly, that is emblematic of the right wing elements of the republican party that can only offer divisive and meaningless slogans instead of actual ideas that might in fact be helpful to the electorate.

I wonder if as a matter of principle or perhaps in protest if Ms. Castaneda will return the proceeds of the Obama tax cut she is almost certain to receive?

predicted that the fat chick was lying about the whole thing...Boy, Obama campaign dodged a bullet on that one!

Turns out that she's just another sad, pathetic college republican loser....she undoubtedly has a lot of company these days...funny thing is...that now she will also be shunned by the very people she was trying to martyr herself for...ironic ain't it?
