Here’s some of what I might've been sayin’… had I done today’s show:



HILLARY CLINTON:
I realize I’m in the minority, but, I don’t care whether Hillary Clinton had a private email server and did or didn’t write/send private or personal emails over which one. I. Don’t. Care. But, first of all, I wish the media would stop referring to her as a 2016 presidential candidate. Again, I don’t care if all the pundits in the world correctly determine that she will run for the presidency again. SHE has not yet said she will, so leave it the hell alone! Just STOP! Let her make her own announcement, and when/if she does, then she will officially BE so, but I don’t like all this “guessing” nonsense.

Do I want her to run? Honestly? Nope. Not because I don’t like her. In fact, I DO like Hillary Clinton. Enough. But, I really just want the woman to rest. For her own sake, I personally, would rather she just rest. However old she is now (67?) well, we’re talking the next eight – 10 years of her life, should she win (2x). 
And being president ages you. A LOT. So … I just want her to rest. I want her to take time for herself.

But back to the emails. I don’t care. I know you’re going to tell me I should care. I actually think her emails were SAFER on her own private server. And, whoever she emailed, if they were in the government, wouldn’t those emails be on the government’s servers? I mean, wouldn’t the recipient’s copy of the email be on the government server?

FERGUSON, MO
I hope the Ferguson police know to consider that ANYONE could have done that sniper-type shooting which ended up with two police officers being wounded. I’m paying very close attention to the words interviewees are using and I don’t need to hear any one imply, suggest, allude to the idea that the person(s) behind the shooting is/are black. I really, really hope the authorities have enough sense to consider the shooter(s) could have been ANYONE. Meaning, ANYONE of ANY race, or gender, or ANY combination. Now, occasionally, police profiling seems in order – the kind like they do on TV’s Criminal Minds. And I’m not trying to be funny, ‘cause this is serious, but for example, women are NOT notorious for sniper-style shooting, and neither are black people. Just sayin’ …

You know how some of you feel like Bill and Hillary simply cannot be trusted? You know how you can’t/don’t want to trust that Hillary is honest (enough) and wasn’t trading secrets (or whatever you think she was doing with her emails)? Yeah, well, the same goes for the officers in Ferguson (and surrounding areas). It has now been proven (speaking of emails) that there was some racism and bigotry at work there, so … how are we supposed to trust that they are even being smart about their search?

And Ferguson is small! You don’t have any suspects? Hm. … Okay …

THE APPLE WATCH
I like watches ‘n stuff? In fact, I have a bit of a watch collection. The Apple watch will not be part of it. Just sayin’ …

BABY LILY
Yet another of God’s miracle stories. Thank You, God, for giving us this story of hope. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/14/us/utah-baby-submerged-car/

BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN & NICK GORDON
Two more troubled people who were/are “drowning” and just need some help. Will You, Lord, please help them and their families? I pray for a recovery for Bobbi Kristina and … Wow, Nick Gordon desperately needs help too.

And the WORLD, Lord – please save us!

So that’s kinda what I would have talked about had I done the show today.

I might have closed with a song like this:

Until next Sunday Bubbalas! 10:30 a.m. ET Be kind. Stay safe. Stay smart. Get rich. Stay rich!

Hey, Joe, you wanna ship in some snow? Voulez vous coucher...

I digress...

So... I don't think snow had to be shipped in to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. I know there was the possibility, but I don't think it actually happened.  On the other hand, snow was shipped over to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. 'Member that?  Yep.

Okay, so what I'm thinkin' now is, isn't there some brilliant engineer out there somewhere who can figure out a way to scoop up all the huge ice chunks being created by the Coast Guard's ice breaking ships (on the Great Lakes, the Hudson River, etc) - and deliver them to all parts of Cali in need of water? I mean, can't that happen?

Can't it happen where the ice chunks are gathered, transported and perhaps melted during transport or once it arrives in California. Then it gets stored somewhere (I'm not the engineer, so I don't have all the answers!) but it gets released when needed? Am I thinking too small? Would that just end up being a tiny, tiny amount of the water that's needed and therefore be too costly to do? Somebody?

Okay, well, um... how about this theory for California... Cloud Seeding.  Not making it up.

Zimmerman - and (some of) my issues with his trial... or with his claims

I TOTALLY COPIED this comment from another website - to which I am NOT giving credit because there is a LOT of hate on it, quite frankly, but this was one of the well thought out comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "His (Zimmerman's) wounds are small and the blood isn't flowing down the back of his head. It's trickling in indivdual rivulets, toward his left ear, and the right side of his head. It appears as though he's bent over for the photo to be taken. A glimpse of Trayvon's gray sweatshirt and possibly his hand is in the upper right corner. If these wounds were made by pavement, they wouldn't be so neat and sharp (and only two, with the pounding his allegedly received?) The blood would have flowed down the back of his head when he stood up. He claims he was trying to get to the grass while Trayvon was on top of him, hence the grass and dampness on his coat. He never put his head on the ground? Where's the dirt and grass that should be stuck to the blood? Most people when injured try to feel the injuries. The blood isn't smudged or smeared. He jumps up from being beaten nearly unconscious and has someone take photos of the back of his head? Who is this person? He claims to have seen powder burns on Trayvon's sweatshirt. How is that possible when he was shot in the chest and found face down? Did this person hit Zimmerman in the head and help him turn the body over?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zimmerman - and (some of) my issues with his trial... or with his claims

Uh huh... so there's a guy on the stand now explaining MMA style fighting (mixed martial arts). He is a defense witness, and he's kinda sorta like an "expert" in MMA fighting. One of Georgie's friends/witnesses, you see, was the first to mention MMA style fighting (at least he was the first person I ever heard mention it). He (the earlier witness) claimed Trayvon Martin was on top of Zimmerman and doing an MMA style "ground and pound" on Zimmerman. I got a problem with that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My problem is, the defense is suggesting that Zimmerman is actually the one who has knowledge of MMA fighting. So... how is it that he could not find a way to FIGHT BACK -- with his damn fists, feet (and shrewd brain power) if, indeed, Trayvon Martin started punching him?!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And I'm thinking... guys... dudes... they FIGHT. I have asked a lot of the males I know if, 1, they've ever been in a fight, 2, did they FIGHT BACK, and 3, during the fight, did they REALLY ever feel like their life was in jeopardy... or... did they just basically feel like they were going to beat up the opponent. They all pretty much said they just felt like they were going to end the FIGHT with a FIGHT, not with a DAMN GUN being shot! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just sayin'... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zimmerman - and (some of) my issues with his trial... or with his claims

Hey "yawl" (as our beloved Paula Deen likes to say), here are some of my issues with what I'm hearing in the Zimmerman trial... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today is Monday. July 8, 2013. I'm watching this Zimmerman trial - the one with a guy named George Zimmerman, who's on trial for second degree murder in the shooting death of a young (17 years old) male, Trayvon Martin. Today is the defense's turn (George Zimmerman's side) to put their case, their "evidence" before the jury. So, you got all that? Okay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So... the folks on the stand, so far, are long time FRIENDS of George Zimmerman. They each are swearing and testifying they KNOW George's voice. One woman even called him "Georgie". So endearing. Yes, yes, yes. And, she's SO friendly with him that she knows it's his voice screaming for help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Except... she (or his other friends) DIDN'T know it was "Georgie's" voice when they each were on the phone calling 911 and reporting "someone" is screaming. Not ONE of them called the police and said something like "Oh my God! My FRIEND George Zimmerman is yelling for help! Please send the police!" They each were asked questions by the police to describe who it was who might have been calling for help, and not ONE of them said it was "Georgie". They ALL referred to the screamer as "someone". I got a problem with that... because... a really good friend shouldn't need the George Zimmerman trial to prompt them to realize - with absolute positivity - that, oh, wow, that's their friend screaming for dear life. If they know their friend's voice with absolute positivity, then I'm thinking that, in their 911 call(s), their asses should have been reporting to the police that GEORGE ZIMMERMAN was being attacked and calling for help! Just sayin'... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
