The US National Soccer Team is up 3-0 against Paraguay and there are a lot of people feeling good–even suggesting the USA can make a run at this thing on home ground. Not me. I see the group draw and see a lot of hope there, but overall, we are not that good… and the world is not going to want us to do very well given how crap we’ve been to everyone else but us who inhabit it.
Meh, so long as the Knicks win it will all be okay.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Head of Palestinian soccer says he wasn’t granted US visa to attend World Cup” I mean, you’re not white, my guy. “he is among several people accredited to attend the World Cup who have been denied visas or have yet to receive them from the United States.” and none of them are white either. Only brown people are being denied entry, because we have become a nasty reflection of who we were during the Obama years. Blowback is a bitch. An overcorrection, those moderately right of center might say. A hot mess I say.
- Grinding as a writer lately. Should be able to get the stories done over the next few nights. If it happens, I’ll be pleased with myself. Still not sure if I am going to keep going after The Justice Engine. I might have to take that long long reset.
