Good sportsmanship is important and no matter which team wins the game this year at Thanksgiving, the captain of the loosing team will shake hands and say "Good game!" to the captain of the winning team. Good Republicans (opinion alert) might consider that the Supreme Court could both literally and figuratively speaking, see these two decisions as a chance to "win one for the Gipper!"
With that in mind, and being aware that Liberal punditry is
becoming extinct, if the United States Supreme Court invalidates Obamacare
and/or declares the concept of gay marriage as unconstitutional, we can only
hope that the disappointed Democrats will greet the decisions with a spirit of
good sportsmanship and that they say in unison:
"Good game!"
In Berkeley, where the University of California's local team uses blue and gold colors and an image of a resident of bear country, it is relatively easy to show a preference for the outcome of the annual UCLA vs. USC game because the one participant in America's greatest cross town rivalry features blue and gold and graphics that depict a bruin.
Would "St. Patrick's Day in Dublin" make a good column headline? Does Dublin California celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
If the Republicans won a majority in Congress and the Senate by promising to end political stagnation and the end result is complete legislative gridlock will that have a deleterious effect on JEB's inauguration in January of 2017? **** NO! ! ! Thank God for the electronic voting machines that leave no way to verify the results!
The closing quote was said by Knute Rockne: "Show me a good and gracious loser and I'll
show you a failure."
Now the disk jockey will play the Beach Boys "Be true to your school," "Shut down," and "God only knows." We have to go buy an Irish Rovers' album. Have a "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" type week.
