COMING DISTRACTIONS!!!

Previously, this/last week's edition of deathless prose was to be devoted to the 2010 Masters Golf Tournament. As you may or may not know, the Masters represented the return of golfing icon Tiger Woods, he of the media-heightened sex scandal (of course, with apologies to Ben Roethlisberger). The nexus of my commentary would have been to "stick it," to all the naysayers (and Woods' haters) after he won the thing. Alas, that did not happen. What's worse...is that "Lefty," "Mr. Manboobs," "the man who folds to Tiger every tournament," Phil Mickelson, WON his third green jacket. Well, worse...if you're a horrible human being...Phil deserved it...great tournament all...

So, this/last week's edition is NOW going to be devoted to upcoming columns...better entitled, "Coming Distractions." They include...

* THE MediaCopp solution to California's public pension woes...geez, the Bee (local Sacramento newspaper) continues to foam at the mouth like a rabid dog...yet they offer very few cogent solutions or even ideas (THE definition of "whining").

*On a related note, California's budget woes continue...and MediaCopp will offer additional assistance in closing the ever expanding gap, both logically and also on a grander (though more tongue-in-cheek) scale.

*The announcing of my new Alter Ego...yes, Buck has been fired and his replacement is straight out of local (Sacramento) media. It's a great honor for this local pundit...but also a huge responsibility...and one that I hope this person takes with solemn reverence.

*SF Giant ace Tim Lincecum is now 2-0 in the relatively new 2010 MLB season. After a four hour rain delay yesterday, Lincecum went out and pitched his second gem of the year. He said, being from Seattle, the rain doesn't bother him. Hey Tim, tell that to my knees!!

*Speaking of my knees, they continue to ache (another definition of whining?), but I'm still lumped in with those dreaded public employees who are raping the public pension system. I DON'T THINK SO...

*Oh well, I can still walk (at least for a few more years, I guess)...and I'll be working bingo again tonight. That's right...charity bingo...you know, selling cards, papers, tabs, stuff like that. Hey, it's a wonderful way to earn some tax free, LEGAL income (since anything I earn will go straight to my daughter's softball fees, expenses, etc.)...

*Speaking of tax free income, the Bee had a "story" about local underground employment. HOWEVER, ne'er was there a mention of ALL the people on the Obama gravy train who are working those jobs while collecting the 99 weeks of unemployment (I know, I know, it's not ALL Obama's fault)...

*Last but not least, an update about MediaCopp's return to the stage...that's right...if the knees hold up, I'll be returning to stand-up. Details to follow...stay tuned...
