* This is about the most ridiculous, idiotic wastes of taxpayer money like ever.......and I'm absolutely praying this happens. Marcus. Our grandkids will foot the bill, anyways.

On Monday, Senator Martha McSally introduced the American Tax Rebate and Incentive Program (TRIP) Act that essentially offers a tax credit of $4,000 per adult to take a vacation at least 50 miles away from home. For couples, it increases to $8,000 plus you get an additional $500 for each qualifying child.
The list of eligible expenses is fairly broad and includes food and beverages, lodging, transportation, live entertainment events, and expenses related to attending a conference or business meeting.
I've never been so excited to see the federal government do the "right thing," and waste billions of dollars. Yay, America!!
* Sacha Baron Cohen at it again this weekend:
I'll give him about a 7/10 on the song (it's catchy AF), but only a 5 on the performance. Not anywhere near his best work. Only mildly funny.
* Heat index of 105 today, which should make for a nice mid-day jog.
* Both LSU and Clemson have at least 30 football players that have recently tested positive and are under some form of quarantine. Not a single one was hospitalized, and all but 2 have fully recovered.
Not that it matters, but whatevs.
* Salute to the Negro Leagues...

Brings up a recent discussion with anth and myself -- what's the protocol on wearing throwback jerseys at all, and specifically Negro League throwback jerseys?
Ebbets Field Flannels absolutely crushes it, but damn. Pretty sure I'm not nearly cool enough to pull any of these off, even if I wanted to.
* Cam Newton's brain is scrambled, he's always hurt, and past his prime. He's either gonna win the MVP this year, or get cut in training camp.
