NOLAN DALLA: 2012 POSTED SEASON RECORD
35 WINS – 28 LOSSES – 1 PUSHES —– (+ 6.95 units / 1 unit = $100)
STARTING BANKROLL: $10,000.
CURRENT BANKROLL: $10.695.
BEST BETS OF THE WEEK: 3-3-0
Coming off a 6-5 week, which could have been a much better day…..but a missed 37-yard FG with few seconds left in the first half of the Arizona game cost us an 8.4 unit swing on the OVER…..We lost another 11.25 unit swing on the Lions/Eagles game OVER 9.5 in the first quarter — four illegal motion penalties in Eagles territory gave us a 6-0 first quarter lead, rather than a 10-0 lead, which would have been a monster day if just a play or two had gone our way. Steamed we didn’t go 7-4 or perhaps 8-3. But this is still a season in the black, so far — which is encouraging.
On to Week 7 — Making ten bets and wagering $4,145.

We’re having a field day with this. It’s a Liberal’s laugh-a-thon. A three-ring binder circus.
Mitt Romney’s “Women in binders” comment is quite possibly the most memorable tagline of the 2012 Presidential Election. It’s right up there with golden gems of the past. Recall — “Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice….” “You’re no Jack Kennedy,” and “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
Apparently, Mitt Romney’s management style pretty much comes down to two things — balance sheets and binders. If it’s profitable, go for it. If it’s unprofitable, eliminate it. But there’s a lot more to what I will term “Bindergate.”
Here’s a closer look at the files:

In few more years, they’ll be gone.
Every one of them.
The millions who marched on foot across a continent and who sailed the high seas some 70 years ago are slowly but surely leaving us. They pass away at the rate of thousands per year, which will gradually come to a few hundred, and then to a trickle. In another decade or so, they will be no more.
They are what has been called “the Greatest Generation.”

When I first heard today’s announcement, I thought it had to be a spoof.
There was no way this could be real.
But apparently, it’s true.
Donald Trump, the failed multi-bankrupted blowhard buffoon is actually releasing a new men’s fragrance. The cologne is called……

It was priceless.
A comedian’s dream.
A pundits paradise.
And quite possibly the single four-word phrase that might torpedo Mitt Romney’s last chance to win the U.S. Presidency.

In a proverbial sense, Rome is burning to the ground. And, while much of our national economy lay in ashes and the American Dream smolders in flames, all anyone seems to be talking about is the opera.

How do you go out to two separate dinners at two different restaurants and still end up starving at night’s end?
Well, it happened to me tonight in the industrial garden spot of Hammond, Indiana — which is right across the Illinois-Indiana border, outside of Chicago.
