They won't be missed; if you'd prefer the security of technocratic government than the uncertainty of freedom, then leave. As Samuel Adams once put it oh-so-delicately in a speech in Philadelphia in 1776, "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!"

Happy Sabbath, 23 May 2025

As we approach Memorial Day 2025, let us never forget the Sabbath day, a remembrance and memorial set apart by God for our benefit. A time of rest and solace in an ever-changing world; let us never forget that.

Penske Fires Cindric

Kudos for David Land for covering this; its' no understatement to say this is a bombshell decision by Roger Penske to fire arguably one of the biggest players in motorsports in Tim Cindric (along w/two additional members from Team Penske) over the attenuator scandal roiling this year's Indy 500.

(TL/DR on that: Prior to Sunday's Fast 12 qualifying session, Tech inspectors - at the behest of rival Chip Ganassi and others, spotted an illegal modification to the attenuators' on both the #12 of Will Power and the #2 of Josef Newgarden. Both cars were pulled from the qualifying line and will start on Row 11 this Sunday. The attenuator, located at the back of the cars, is a safety device intended to reduce the shock/g-forces from a rearward-facing crash and is thus considered a non-modifiable part of the car.)

Bold move by IndyCar and one that will have reverberations throughout not just the IndyCar Series but likely through part of NASCAR as well (because Tim's son, Austin Cindric, drives for Penske in the NASCAR Cup Series). Definitely something worth following as time moves on.

Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Awards are a JOKE (HERE'S WHY)

James Romero's not wrong here; while Dave Meltzer and his Wrestling Observer Newsletter was relevant back in the 80's and 90's, he's long become a sad joke (and with all due respect for Frank Deford, what standard for journalistic excellence are you using?). Worse, his current "journalistic stylings" are akin to copious amounts of tongue-watching pretty much everything AEW and its crackhead booking style owner, Tony Khan either says or does.

And Lord, don't get me started on the joke that is Meltzer's ratings system....
