“Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Flavor”
In honor of the 44th President of the United States, Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ." Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow. The cost is $100.00 per scoop. When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you. You are left with an empty wallet and no change,holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream. Are you stimulated?

Billy Donovan and Kentucky
Thursday, as SEC coaches and players gathered in Birmingham for the 2009-10 preseason media day, Donovan was an afterthought in the day-long gathering. The Gators were the final team to appear before members of the print media, and by then the room that had been packed earlier for new Kentucky head coach John Calipari was largely empty.
Barely a dozen reporters bothered to stick around to hear what Donovan had to say, and only a few ventured over to talk with junior forward Chandler Parsons.
Whatever fame the Gators found from their title years has quickly disappeared following consecutive seasons in which they missed the NCAA Tournament entirely, a fact that Donovan acknowledged Thursday.
"You look at Kentucky's tradition over the years or Arkansas' tradition or the tradition of different programs, I can't sit here and say that Florida's tradition was a great tradition," Donovan said. "We were fortunate over the last 10 or 12 years to have some really good players and some good teams. Now the challenge is to try to get back to that."

Should the Pay Czar Cut The Pay Of US Congressmen?
They consistently have an approval rating in the 20 percentile range, yet they keep giving themselves pay increases, they have great benefits plus a pension after 1 term. Is the PAY CZAR going to make any adjustments on the pay these crooks receive?
Maintaining A Positive Attitude
I have been avoiding the news for the most part the last few weeks. It helps me maintain a positive attitude. But when the two smartest political commentators I know (Rick West and Charles Krauthammer) speak up - I listen. This is one move by BO's socialist regime I feel will definitely backfire on them.

Rahm Emanuel once sent a dead fish to a live pollster. Now he's put a horse's head in Roger Ailes's bed.
Not very subtle. And not very smart. Ailes doesn't scare easily.
The White House has declared war on Fox News. White House communications director Anita Dunn said that Fox is "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Patting rival networks on the head for their authenticity (read: docility), senior adviser David Axelrod declared Fox "not really a news station." And Chief of Staff Emanuel told (warned?) the other networks not to "be led [by] and following Fox."
Meaning? If Fox runs a story critical of the administration -- from exposing "green jobs" czar Van Jones as a loony 9/11 "truther" to exhaustively examining the mathematical chicanery and hidden loopholes in proposed health-care legislation -- the other news organizations should think twice before following the lead.
The signal to corporations is equally clear: You might have dealings with a federal behemoth that not only disburses more than $3 trillion every year but is extending its reach ever deeper into private industry -- finance, autos, soon health care and energy. Think twice before you run an ad on Fox. STORY

Big Win On The Road! KY 21 - Auburn 14
Kentucky played one of the best games I have ever seen them play. If they had played the QB trio they played at Auburn against Alabama and SC we could be sitting at 5-1 instead of 3-3. Finally, the schedule eases up for the next few games. Randall Cobb (scoring here) could be the most exciting player I have ever seen wear a UK uniform.

Cya Billy....finally.
Coaching in America is an interesting profession. It's the only profession I can think of where you can run a program / business in the ground, get a DUI and still walk away with 3 million.

23 DAYS! Until KY Basketball Begins...
SOUTH CAROLINA 28, KENTUCKY 26
Another reminder yesterday of just how frustrating it can be to be a UK Football fan. A ridiculous play call on a 2 point conversion play probably cost KY the game. KY drove the ball down SC's throat using Randall Cobb in the Wildcat formation - scored and then called a pass play with a rookie QB in the game for the 2 point conversion. Of course SC batted the pass down and UK falls short again. We cannot beat Spurrier. We get out coached every time we play him. I can't think of an opposing coach I would want to beat more. Oh well....the first tip is only 23 days away.

What Really Bothers Me About The Letterman Scandal
What bothers me as much as the "light-hearted" approach that Letterman is taking, is the applause and laughter from his audience. They genuinely seem to not be bothered about Lettermans's improper behavior. He got a very large applause when he made the first announcement and continues to draw laughs as he jokes about it. The real victims here are Letterman's family and to me it's as if everyone is laughing at them.
