College football on Thanksgiving weekend is an American tradition. What do you think would happen if every college football player of color simply suited up, went on the field and then refused to play? What would all those white Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Alabama University alumni and fans do then?

If their progeny attending schools like Oklahoma University now feel free to terrorize black students at the U. of Penn and others, it's time for black athletes and their parents to reciprocate. I suggest a nationwide "sitdown" by all minority college athletes Thanksgiving weekend.

Within the first six months of taking office, the PFL (presidential fucking lunatic) america just elected will suffer the thing he cannot tolerate - public ridicule. This time on the worldstage. On January 20, 2017 world-wide media will not just be covering the inauguration of PFL, but will also be showing what are expected to be massive demonstrations against him. He may ride down Pennsylvania Avenue and watch as thousands silently turn their backs to him and give him the finger with both hands. That's if the Secret Service even allows PFL to make the journey given the security concerns such large demonstrations would entail.

In May, PFL will probably be greeted by massive demonstrations again't him and his climate denying policies when he attends the G7 Summit in Italy May 26-27. The welcome from Merkel and other leaders probably won't be very warm given that migration is one of the major topics.

July 7-8, Merkel will be hosting the G20 Summit in Hamburg. The leading german newspapers are refering to PFL as "Den Horror-Clown". With the strong environmental movement in Germay, PFL will once again face massive demonstrations against him and his policies.

So in the space of six months, PFL faces ridicule and humiliation on a scale he's never imagined. Want to bet a psychotic breakdown won't be far off? Germans have an excellent word for how I'm looking forward to those dates - Schadenfreude.

For those of you that were as horrified by the Cosby rape allegations, and angry at vilification of his accusers, there is something we can all do: Pressure President Obama to revoke the Presidential Medal of Freedom that Cosby was awarded by President Bush in 2002.

Time for Scalia watch, Alito Watch, Roberts Watch, Thomas Watch. Because of their lifetime appointments, they believe there are no consequences for their actions. I think it is time for the SCOTUS conservatives to feel the disdain and wrath of America. They should be met with protesters every time they show their faces in public.

The Assembly committee investigating Bridgegate issued 20 subpoenas this afternoon. Seventeen individuals and three organizations will be getting aknock on the door. NBC is reporting that one of the organizations is the Christie campaign. The list grew once Reid Schar was hired. Want to guess who 's getting served?

I'm guessing Kelly, Stepien, Egea and Drewniak along with acouple of phone compaies.

Governor Christie's no bad, no good, horrible day included a panned State of the State speech, an epic Rachel Maddow takedown and the ultimate personal insult - Jimmy Fallon and Bruce Springsteen sang a new version of "Born to Run". - Governor Christie's Ft. lee traffic jam".

Suppose that President Obama announced that unless he got a gun control bill from Congress, he would begin sinking one US aircraft carrier a week! That's the analogy that Nicholas Kristoff begins his opinion piece with in tomorrows NYT.

the NY Times has a fun tool that lets you play with the paths to 270. The tool shows that there are 512 paths to victory and lets you build the tree-diagram for the six swing states of Fl, NC, VA, WI, CO, and NH. It starts with 431 ways for Obama to win, 5 ties and 76 ways for Romney to win. Giving a win in Ohio leaves Obama with 244 ways to win, 1 tie and 11 paths for Romney. Starting with a win in Nevada, Obama then has 225 ways, 1 tie and 30 paths for Romney.

Have at to keep yourself entertained until 11PM tomorrow.

The DesMoines Register just endorsed Romney. This is the first time they've endorsed a Republican since since Nixon in 1972. Here's their bottom line from the last two paragraphs:

Barack Obama rocketed to the presidency from relative obscurity with a theme of hope and change. A different reality has marked his presidency. His record on the economy the past four years does not suggest he would lead in the direction the nation must go in the next four years.
Voters should give Mitt Romney a chance to correct the nation’s fiscal course and to implode the partisan gridlock that has shackled Washington and the rest of America — with the understanding that he would face the same assessment in four years if he does not succeed.
