2024, in the books

With nothing to deal with on Monday or Tuesday in the world of officiating, it seems I've put a wrap on 2024. So why not some thoughts over a cup of coffee? First, officiating... Let's start with officiating -- last season in basketball I worked the fewest regular season games I…

Dinesh D'Souza criticized the pardon. This is a guy who GOT a pardon from Trump. It's like the Republicans expect the Democrats to follow unwritten rules they never plan on following themselves.

Has there been a worse person in WI than Scott Walker?

In reaction to Act 10 being dumped 13 years too late: "Collective bargaining is not a right, it is an expensive entitlement."

For teachers, it was an expensive entitlement. For police and fire, a right. Depended who supported Walker, I guess.

Back to California, I guess:
