A Nation on the Brink...

Foodies take a seat...

I was going to construct the final installment of the LaCrosse adventure, but I think I’ll postpone it a day in order to address an urgent matter of National Importance. Every citizen in the nation should be vitally concerned over an issue that will be settled tonight, and which will probably change the course of history forever.

And just what, you may ask, is this apocryphal event? The oil “spill” has been stifled? There is peace in Afghanistan? The price of gas has gone under a dollar? Aliens are on the white house lawn? Middle East is now calm?

No, these pale in comparison to the magnitude of the real thing. Tonight at 9 o’clock on live TV, La Brawn James will let the world know which NBA team he will allow to bask in his awesome power. The sports world has been abuzz for the last few weeks, speculating this, postulating that, reading something into every movement, inanely going on and on without benefit of any real information.

As I have penned in these pages before, I care not much about the NBA and which team Mr. James will join in his so far unfulfilled quest for a championship. To be truthful, I have sort of given him credit for being humble, respecting his Mother and generally saying the right thing. No more. If he leaves Cleveland in the lurch by announcing his moving to another team on a hyped up ESPN "Special", it would be one of the more shabby moves that has been done lately. Maybe he’ll stay, but all the pundit are speculating that he will go to Miami.

The world will be a different place tomorrow..

Think I’ll go have a drink and get
