Unmasking the Real Marco Rubio

Like Bambi running through the woods and aimlessly caught in the headlights, Rubio was blatantly exposed as excruciatingly shallow and intellectually feeble, awkwardly unprepared and ill-suited for the most powerful job in the country — at least right now in the year 2016.  When 2024 or 2028 comes around, perhaps he could fare better as a serious presidential candidate, provided he passes his potty training and sheds the political Pampers.

Final Results (2015 NFL Regular Season and Playoffs)

This marks the fourth straight year that I’ve posted NFL picks on my website.

In three years, I’ve posted winning results — including 2012, 2013, and 2015.  One year, in 2014, I lost my entire bankroll.

In yesterday’s Super Bowl (and Puppy Bowl 2016), I posted 6 winners, 4 losers, and 1 push.  Unfortunately, I suffered losses on my two biggest wagers, so I ended up losing money on the game.  My losses amounted to $500 for the day.

Nonetheless, I end this past NFL season up by about 30 percent ($10,000 starting bankroll ended with $13,015).  That included about $2,500 worth of losses in season-win totals.  It also included nearly $7,000 in vig.  So, the biggest winners were the sportsbooks (big surprise).

Thanks to everyone for following along and cheering with (or against) me.  See you back here again in September 2016.

I Just Got “Push Polled” by Hillary Clinton’s Nevada Campaign

 

Hillary-Phone

 

This article went viral in February 2016 and has since attracted more than 600,000 hits.  It was quoted in the Daily Kos.  It certainly upset many Sanders’ supporters who feared the worst about Hillary Clinton and her campaign tactics.  This is one of the reasons Clinton lost the general election to Donald Trump 8 months later.  Pissing off Sanders’ supporters backfired.

The Loneliest Highway (Route 266) in Winter

 

rural nevada

A few years ago, I wrote about one of my favorite drives within the continental United States — the little-known Nevada State Highway 266 to the east which connects to California State Highway 266 in the west.  To say this is a breathtaking journey with amazing diversity would be an understatement.

This scarcely traveled 82-mile single-lane stretch of paved road offers no services nor amenities of any kind.  There’s not a gas station nor an electric light the entire way.  Cell phone reception is non-existent.  You drive through several mountains and valleys, which takes about two hours, and might not see another car or human being during the entire trip.
