The Writer's Life 1/23 - Flagged

A group of New Orleans Saints fans is proposing a lawsuit against the NFL over the non-call that may have cost their team a trip to the Super Bowl. If approved, imagine the precedent it would set. The courts would be clogged with cases from every sport, especially now that gambling on sports is legal in many states and folks may lose a bundle because of a controversial call or non-call. As if lawyers need another angle to rake in big bucks! And some are now insisting that pass interference be subject to replay rules - as if games aren't long enough! By the strictest interpretation of the rules there is interference on every pass play. The same goes for holding - on every play, run or pass.

Every time it seems the insanity of the left has bottomed out there comes incidents like the uncorroborated buzzfeed story on Trump and the social media reaction to the alleged racism of the Kentucky high school kids, whose behavior, from what I've seen, was exemplary. Don't expect the rushes to judgment to end any time soon, or any significant penalties imposed on shoddy reporting.

Again Amazon has delivered Inside Out two days ahead of schedule. I will scan it this evening and, if no printing errors occurred on their end, announce its availability in the AM.

My thanks to the elderly Latina who bought Just One Look by Harlan Coben and Fallen Angel by William Hjortsberg; and to the gentleman who purchased an NYC tourist guide in German and Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina in English; and to the guy with the island's accent who chose four works of non-fiction; and to the woman who purchased two paperbacks in Russian and returned an hour or so later with a donation of 25 in soft and hardcover; and to the woman who pounced on three of those.
