Just Got Back From Illinois...

The Schloss-Blog is going to try to get back to 'normalcy,' whatever that is, after last week's difficult but necessary post about the how divisive America has become because of Trump. Merry Chrismahanukwzukah to all.

Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe Trump committed serious federal crimes.

Twenty-seven percent of Republicans think so.

They don't care.

Did I mention I'm making the only New Year's resolution I ever make once again this year.

And never keep. Please continue reading to find out what it is for weak-kneed me.

Al Michaels will not be calling any playoff games for NBC this year, as he has for-seemingly-ever.

Seems he has taken criticism for not being enthusiastic enough on his current amazon gig on Thursday nights.

With some of the trashy games he's had to call, can you blame him?

A lot of the games have been close, but not exciting. And who doesn't want to call a Bears-Commanders game?

Inmates at Alabama prisons are suing over what they say is treatment like slaves and slavery-like conditions.

The 10 inmates, all Black, are claiming they get little or no pay and little or no sleep. Nor nourishment.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville promised to look into it.

Never.

Or as soon as he's sure the United States Military has learned the lesson he imposed on it.

Once upon a time, Donald Trump tried to disqualify Barack Obama from being president by virtue of not having a U.S. birth certificate.

Now, the state of Colorado wants to disqualify Trump from being president.

For being an asshole.

And for leading and inspiring an insurrection, in violation of the 14th amendment.

Like I said, for being an asshole.

Price of bread down. Price of gas down. Mortgage rates down.

Consumer concerns about the economy more optimistic than they've been in a long time.

Biden just might win this damn election, despite looking like he's feeble.

My New Year's resolution, which I will fail to keep, as usual, is to finally return Cindy Crawford's phone calls.

Damn.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Jocelyn (your retirement imminent).

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
