SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE!

Last night, our leader, our President, Donald Trump gave a speech that was meant to be unifying. He spoke about many accomplishments and milestones that our country has experienced during the past year. One great example, was when he touted the lowest unemployment rate among African-Americans in history. The camera panned to the Congressional Black Caucus who sat looking like someone had just whispered to them that their dog had just died.  You see, good economic news for America is disastrous news for the Democrats.  You might say, well isn't the reverse true when there is a Democrat president?  It might be.  There is no way of knowing. Democrats traditionally damage and destroy economic prosperity. No surprise to any of my readers that I thought Donald Trump gave a great, positive uplifting speech last night....  But what about official Democrat response given by Joe Kennedy III.

That hateful, speech given my Joe Kennedy who was spewing so much bile, it literally leaked from his mouth in some kind of glistening spittle. And I want to give credit to the producer of the Imus in the Morning Show, Bernard McGuirk who asked this question, which I will paraphrase:

What was with the broken car in the background? Did they fish out his uncle's car from Chappaquiddick?  

You need to have a twisted sense of dark humor to find that funny. I found it funny.

Really, what was the point of the car with its hood up serving as background to the  Democratic response to the State of the Union address?  I am sure it was a very erudite and scholarly metaphor for something. Obviously I am too stupid to understand it.

One of the most famous quotes in sports history is linked to the date September 28, 1920.

On that day, “Shoeless Joe” Jackson supposedly admitted during testimony to a grand jury that he was one of eight Chicago White Soxbaseball players who took bribes to let the Cincinnati Reds win the 1919 World Series.

It came to be known as the “Black Sox scandal” and it was devastating for baseball fans.

A crowd of fans were gathered outside the Cook County Courthouse where Jackson was testifying.

Word spread among them that their hero had admitted he’d helped throw the series to the Reds.

According to legend, as Jackson left the courthouse, a heartbroken young boy went up to him and begged: “Say it ain’t so, Joe.”

It’s legend rather than fact because there are holes in various aspects of the story.

For one thing, there’s no court record of Jackson admitting he was involved in fixing the game – and, publicly, he always denied it.

In fact, in 1921, he was found innocent by a Chicago jury.

In addition, quotation experts have determined that the legendary quote is a misquote of a quote that was probably fabricated by a reporter in the first place.
