Where did the Tea Party go.

Feeling a little weird today. Reason is this is the first day since I quit working for "the man" that I do not have an art fair to prepare for. I've always had some big photo project/fair to be stressed over.

At least now I have a little time to LEARN. I want to learn ACCESS and Lightroom and have a 15 hour tutorial on HDR in the future. OH - I also have some individual photo projects and I SUPPOSE I could clean my room LOL. It's just that this is the first time in 6 months I can relax a little.

Hey - what ever happened to the Tea Party. Did they go away and sulk? Where are their high flying candidates? Romney certainly is not the choice of the conservative right. No Sarah Palin (too bad, THAT would have been so much fun), Michele Bachman's campaign imploded, Donald Trump? Ron Paul? Newt? And Rick Perry is leaking like a sieve.

The last man standing for the Republicans looks to me Romney who's health care plan actually inspired Obamacare. What will FOX do???

The Tea Party is dead or dieing. When in the debates they cheered at sending people to their deaths on death row (seriously? cheering killing a human? is that really the christian way?). Their anti-tax message and constant government-bashing YET wanting the government to create jobs is not working. And remember the elections? When ANYBODY was better then who was holding office and NOW we can get things done because THE TEA PARTY WON!! hmmmmmmmm seems we are still in the same boat, just being rowed by people who don't know how to handle an oar.

Then there is all of this Occupy Wall Street which seems to be the lefts version of the Tea Party full of zombie-costumed, "happily incoherent" anti–Wall Street protesters? What is their goal? How is victory achieved?

OH - anybody wondering I have St. Louis covering 15 points over the Packers this Sunday. It's my "B" game but the "A" game is Atlanta -4 over Carolina - bet the farm on this one - seriously.

And speaking of last nights Brewer game. I get down on the balls and strikes calling of umpires as a good fan does. But I know it's a tough tough game for an ump. I HATE how baseball games now have that little box that shows where the pitch went. That box is how umpires get graded.

Last night the ump was horrific in the 1st inning but he got better as the game went on. It was pretty interesting to watch as his calls on curve balls went from being ridicules to much better and he made a GREAT call at home plate in the Hairston slide.

From Rich - here is the balls and strikes graph - awesome stuff.

What this tells me is that the box on TV is 100% meaningless as there were 4 balls WAY WAY outside that were called strikes that are not even on this chart.

The Brewers are back in the drivers seat and fans are climbing off the ledge. Brewer fans have never ever been to the top of the hill something always goes wrong and the last time it was again, the Cards, that stopped the run. So I understand that with every loss the mood goes all gloomy. Even the Cubs have more World Series they the Brewers.

BTW - Ax - 99mph?  well played.  And K-Rod - only one guy got on 

LaRussa has used 45 pitchers in 9 games  WOW!!!

Did you see the tigers got a natural cycle last night  single, double, triple, Home Run last night! 

Here is another attempt fall colors.

Have a great weekend - Rod
