God, do I miss George Carlin! The man was not only funny, but brilliant.

As for why Harry Reed isn't in jail, I've been asking the same thing for years! Why isn't anybody looking at this guy? But then he had the graciousness to retire, and now, as Carlin says, no one cares!

And Congress is exempt from insider trading! What a surprise! God only knows what they AREN'T exempt from!

favicon.ico Phil Mickelson denies helping gambler Billy Walters get commuted sentence from Donald Trump

Donald Trump's White House said that Phil Mickelson was one of several who sponsored the move to commute Billy Walters' sentence.

Maybe coming back to bite at him a little. He was named, along with Harmon, Feherty, and peter jacobsen as those who vouched for Walters for his release on the former president’s last day. His lawyer denied everything.

I dunno. If you get off, but think your friend should have also gotten off, what's the risk in vouching for him?

From Phil's perspective, I mean?

 The Feds have been protecting Mickelson all along. They didn't go after him for the Billy Walters insider trading deal, and they didn't go after him for the gambling debt payoff (~$3M). There is a rumor as to why, but I can't confirm it so won't repeat it here. Bottom line is Smiley McGambler can pretty much do what he wants and let others take the hit for him. 🙃

Then why mention it?

I have heard a lot of things about you. Some actually quite horrific. I can't confirm them, so I won't repeat them. Does that sound fair?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Lots of interesting stuff about what a relief defendant is.  From the description of what happened, and the info in this article, I'm in the 'he's lucky to not be in jail' camp.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
