Once again I must protest the absence of a bronze bust of Alex Karras' likeness in the Football Hall of Fame at Canton OH; oversight? Snub? Blackball?
"Big deal", Karras said amiably on TV.
But the world should know that for us kids growing up in metropolitan Detroit in his era; Alex Karras was football. In the Black and Blue Division of the sixties, Detroit Lions won zero NFL championships—12 teams didn't make the "playoffs", but at home or on the road opponents got an ass-kicking with that line spearheaded by Mr. Karras.
They let Paul Hornung in the Hall...

Salute to RFK
I was too young to remember when President John
Kennedy was murdered. June 5th, 1968, we were
getting ready for school as the TV poured forth the
news the younger brother was shot, mortally
wounded though he lingered until the 6th at Good
Samaritan Hospital in LA.

My Mother Faye had truly loved the Kennedy's.

Isn't Marriage Just a State of Mind?
Gay marriage continues to stall because of semantics. The property rights of marriage is what homosexual activists insist they seek, to visit a lover in ICU, to receive automatic inheritance, etc. which is what heterosexual marriage has devolved to; when a mate says I Quit it's over, so why insist on words exactly the same as Church Sacraments, there will never be a push for Gay Baptism, it's always about the money. Amounts of money assets the government now seizes from intestate gay people at the hour of death is probably tremendous, I know there are several openly gay RICH PEOPLE, David Geffen, Elton John—these people have money for lawyers to work out arrangements, so their affairs are settled like married folk; those who die intestate service the government, those fuckers that golf on Caribbean Islands for free. If Gay People really want this they must, will accept the lumps popular opinion inflicts on every candidate; each new 'scary' item', otherwise I will heve to listen to newsreaders talk about this as a decoy to the real news for years to come. that is the publishers opinion!
