BALTIMORE, Maryland February 24, 2015 - There is only one thing you really need to know about the Net Neutrality Law now pending before the United States Congress. The far left Obama Administration is going all out in favor of the innocuous-sounding bill. Corporations purporting to be friendly to young, media-friendly voters (and here, we speak of NETFLIX) are all on board. Do not believe them or be fooled by them. The one thing you need to know is that the Obama Administration has not revealed what their regulations will be in implementing the bill. Does that sound a little bit familiar? Can you say Obama-Care. That bloody mess, that nightmare of a legislative initiative, was not read by any of the legislators who voted for it. Obama and his minions baldly lied about what was in the bill, but in the run up to the heavily lobbied vote, they managed to shout down those who said they were lieing. Our new president Lie? No. Yes, yes, a million times yes. And he finally admitted it. What will happen when that bill is passed? Tax on internet activity per se. Fees you haven't imagined. Severe, maybe fatal regulations on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and other new media superstars. If it doesn't help Obama, it will be subject to fees and taxes and regulations galore. All of that will happen if Congress dumbs themself down to the point of limiting the freedom of Americans. We have lived and loved the First Amendment, which guarantees Freedom of Speech, since these United States were founded. Why on Earth would we change course with the internet. Leave the net alone, damnit! And, while on the subject, Mr. President and friends, learn to mind your own business and stop trying to regulate our business,
We know that President Obama has admitted, in writing, that he lied when he said he opposed gay marraige during his initial run for President. He says he has never really opposed it, but said he did because he didn't want to lose the votes of people who opposed it. During a watershed appearance with Rev. Rick Warren during that campaign, he was asked directly by Warren what his position was. He admits he lied. In fact, when you come right down to it, he lies a lot. When you describe the man, and are honest, you have to say that he lies a lot. Our president.
Some Sports: Maryland Baseball Takes Two of Three in South Alabama Tournament, Scores 9 Runs in One Inning in Trouncing Arkansas; Burnley Gains Stunning Draw At Chelsea; Orioles Said to Finalize Cabrera Deal; Terps and Wisconsin Collide Tonight in Collge Park The College Baseball-Savvy Website D1 Baseball has jumped Maryland to No. 12 in the nation after the Terps took two out of three games it played at the South Alabama Tourney this past weekend. Maryland crushed the home team, South Alabama, 8-0 on Friday after Sophmore Mike Sharwyn pitched seven shutout innings to leading his team to victory. On Sunday, the Terps erupted for nine runs in the sixth inning, overcoming a 6-2 Arkansas lead, and propelling Maryland to a 13-6 win. Freshman Kevin Smith was Maryland's offensive star. The setback came Saturday against a good Central Florida team. The Jaguars got out in front, 7-2, then had to hang on for dear life to win, 7-6. Maryland scored two runs in the 8th and two more in the ninth, and had to tie run at third base when the game ended. The Terps were set to open their home schedule today in College Park against Virginia Commonwealth, but that game has been postponed until tomorrow at 4 pm. This weekend's three-game home series against Appalacian State has been moved to a southeastern United States site in view of the extreme cold weather in the Northeastern USA. In a press release, the Maryland Athletic Department said "Maryland’s weekend home series with Appalachian State has been moved to the Lake Point Complex in Emerson, Ga. Game one will take place Friday at 6 p.m., with Saturday’s game at 4 p.m. The final game of the series will be contested Sunday at noon.
Everytime you get ready to throw in the towel on Burnley's chances of avoiding relegation back to the Championship League, those intrepid Claret do something amazing to remind one and all that they are very much in the battle to avoid the hated demotion. Saturday's match at Chelsea - one of the best professional teams anywhere on Earth - is a prime example. Trailing late, 1-0, Burnley caught a break when Blue star Memanja Matic was sent off with a red card after reacting with extreme anger to a tackle by the Claret's Ashley Barnes. In no time, Burnley went to the attack with a furious frenzy. Ben Mee tied the affair at one when he headed in a goal off of a cross by Kieran Tripier following the award of a corner kick. But the Claret were not satisfied. Danny Ings shot twice in the waning seconds, and one of those shots, smartly struck, was just barely off target. It was Chelsea letting out a sigh of relief when the final whistle sounded. Burnley is now in 18th place in the Premier and thus subject to relegation. But they are tied in points with No. 17 Queens Park and No. 19 Aston Villa, and trail No. 16 Sunderland by only three points. Chelsea, meanwhile, still leads No. 2 Manchester City by five points (60-55) and third place Arsenal by 12 points.
The Orioles have signed San Diego Padre shorthstop Evereth Cabrera. Major League sources are a bit surprised by the signing, since infield is the one place the Orioles appeared set at. They have an All-Star caliber player already at shortstop in J.J. Hardy and an All-Star caliber player in Manny Machado ensconced at third base but waiting for his turn at shortstop, where he excelled in minor league play; at second base the Birds have the promising Jonathan Schoop, and in Ryan Flaherty the Orioles have a utility infielder whom they acquired in the Rule 5 draft some years back and who could start at any number of positions for many other teams. Flaherty was one of the few bright spots in the playoff series loss to Kansas City.
