….. I’ve been dreading today (aka “The Day Ted Kennedy Died”) for several years. When Jesse Helms died the bottom-feeders from the local Liberal landfill went nuclear toxic on the Internet comment boards. I hoped “our side” would not follow suit today. More than a few “did” however. ….. sigh, sob, sniff. The Kennedy Camelot Saga parallels the BobLee Saga in America. Where were you when ……….?

…… Is Life’s plum foolishness whackin’ you across the bridge of the nose every time you turn around? Are you dizzy from all the “dumb” that piles up on your doorstep every morning? Have you come to the conclusion that the most intelligent life form on the planet are dust bunnies? ….. Congratulations, you have “figured it out”. Step up to the bar for a handful of Dr. BobLee’s Chill Pills …..

…… Last night I ordered two End Zone tickets for Texas @ Missouri on Oct 24. They were $69.00 apiece. I could see, feel and taste my sports “tipping point” from there. Univ of Michigan football fanatics are seeing their “tipping point” these days in RichRod. With “color & pageantry” starting anew this weekend, we look at where we’re at with sports, technology and “tipping points”.

….. Did Congressman Joe Wilson actually interrupt Obama’s speech to yell “ACC Football Sux!”? Has a “death panel” already voted to pull the plug on Johnny Swofford’s annual “Until Basketball Starts” Fall Festival? BobLee adds his $.02 to the regional gridiron eulogy. ….. Meet Carolina’s “Cat In The Cool Hat” ….. and the BIG NEWS = Internet Legend Scales Mount Twitter!

…… EVERY day we have (1) Weather and (2) News. Not necessarily in that order. It’s always hot/cold/in-between and rainy or not rainy …. and “something” happens EVERY day. To paraphrase that old saw “lots of planes land safely at the local airport but it’s only “news” when one doesn’t.” Now it’s only “news” if it’s a “pretty young plane” not an “ugly betty plane”. ….. Can you feel the temperature rising minute by minute in our national pressure-cooker? …. And “Dalton died”.

…. UPDATED: MONDAY NIGHT! ….Among my fellow Provocateurs we have a motto “It’s all just show prep”. What you see as Humanity going to Hell in a handbasket we see as “show prep” (aka “column fodder”). Folks are forever asking me “BobLee, how are you doing?” fretting that I probably bear the weight of all human absurdum on my shoulders. Ayn Rand’s Atlas would shrug under THAT burden these days. ….. and …. one of my “high maintenance pals” steps in IT again. MON PM UPDATE !!!!

….. If your favorite football team is named Carolina and has a shade of blue as its primary color, you are perched on a ledge in either Chapel Hill or Charlotte. BobLee assesses the current plight of Tar Heels and Panthers …. as well as other stuff too.

….. On a woeful Saturday among Kenan’s fabled pines, an incredible Samaritan tale unfolded. Using allegories out his wazoo, BobLee tells a remarkable tale of finding a thoroughbred pony among the pile of equine dung. ….. For certain sure the solitary highlight of a disastrous day many are comparing to “that embarrassing loss to Navy in 1989 in the rain; but without the rain ….”.
