Wish I thought of that

So, When Will The Phoenix Suns Practice What They Preach?


The Suns don't even believe their own BS. If you do go to a Suns game, guess what? You'll find that their arena has an extremely secure border. You don't go by their rules, you don't get into the game. If somehow, you do get in without buying a ticket and they find out about it, they will send their security over and they will demand that you prove that you belong in the arena. If you can't show them a ticket, it doesn't whether you just arrived or whether it's late in the 4th quarter, the Suns will immediately deport you right out of the arena for not following their rules.


Indeed. I would love to see Arizonans flood the arena as "undocumented fans". They should scale the fences and overwhelm security. They will not, however, get it. To them, there is no analogy. They see the illegals as people who simply want a better life for themselves and their family. I'm sure there are Arizonans who want that too. Perhaps if they joined Los Suns on the court and explained that they just wanted a better job, like, say professional basketball player they would understand. Just take to the court with your own jersey on and grab the ball. If they stop the game tell them you're an undocumented player. Undocumented coaches would be good too. Undocumented merchandisers could sell undocumented Suns gear in the parking lot. Where's the problem? These people are just trying to make a living, right? How about undocumented refreshment sales inside? They can bring a cooler and a case of beer and some pretzels to sell. After all, a man's got a right to work doesn't he?

Flights of fancy notwithstanding I honestly think people need to do something like this to the most strident of the amnesty supporters.

For Gerard

 Many moons ago, I started reading blogs and shortly thereafter I started reading them.  I became discouraged because I read many writers, far more talented than me and the ease with which they elucidated the very points I wanted to make but so much more elegantly and completely that I just gave up.    Gerard of American Digest was one such writer.  His facility with prose and his ability to evoke emotion was remarkable.  I linked to him once with my nascent blog and he was kind enough to reach out to me and thank me for the link.  I literally had zero readers.  Just like now.  But that was the measure of the man.  He took the time to reach out to me and genuinely thank me for the link.   The closest I ever had to meeting the man was meeting Morgan in person.  Morgan and Gerard were friends.  They had an evident mutual respect for their respective works.   I never met Gerard, didn't know the man personally but having read his work I had a sense of the man.  He's dying now.  If

So....the autism thing

Since April is nearly over and it's autism awareness month, I suppose I should talk a bit about it. I guess the best way to start is to rehash the story of How I Got Here. My oldest was born in 1999. Healthy, happy and so on. One peculiar thing he did as an infant was to avoid eye contact. Our doctor assured us it was because he was so young and his eyesight was undeveloped and he was probably focusing on something in the background that was more interesting. Besides, babies don't recognize faces for a few months after birth. Only later did we find out that our doctor was an idiot. He was 16 mos. old when his little brother was born and he was walking and making wishes known by pulling me or my wife by the hand to whatever he wanted etc. He was fascinated with the wheels on toys. If you gave him a truck he'd turn it over and spin the wheels and smile. Only later would I find out this is a major warning sign. This was our first born and what the hell did I know?
