WOW! This is a tough call. We had a couple announcements to choose from.
In the wide world of sports, after 22 years of service, Randy Johnson has decided to call it quits. He is a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer no doubt. Yes he had a barely hittable fastball and a devastating slider; but who could forget the time he threw behind Kruk's head in the All Star game. Or when he nailed that poor bird that took errant flight in Randy's deadly fastball path. Aside from 1 kid outta wedlock, he seemed to be an all around solid guy. I wonder if he will take to the world of commentator or studio analyst. I picture him setting off to pasture, full of hunting and tending to a farm somewhere in parts unknown. Whatever he chooses we here at SMS wish him all the best and we tip our hat to an outstanding career.
Next up in the political arena is the 3 stooges, ahem Democrats. 2 senators and 1 Governor have decided not to run for re-election. First up is Seneator Chris Dodd of Connecticut. This is the guy that came under fire for receiving favorable mortgage terms while chairing the Senate Banking Committee. Hmmmm, conflict much??? His seat will most likely be filled by another Democrat, that's ashame.
Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota shocked the Dem nation when he announce his plans to pursue family interests outside of the public life. Well good for you, at 67 you might wanna start checking off the bucket list items sooner than later.
And lastly Colorado Governor Bill Ritter is bailing after 1 term. Wonder what his deal is? I mean, 1 term is hardly enough time to amass a small fortune in bribes and partake in multiple acts of illicit unadulterated activity. What in God's name is goin on out there.
Anyway, I gotta give the nod to Big 'Ol Randy. Good luck and God speed in your retirement sir. You deserve all the best.
