Obama Football Scandal, Trump, Prisoner Right to Guns

  • I don’t remember how long it’s been since I played football as a kid. I do remember hearing about the longest punt ever. Steve O’Neal played for the Jets in 1969. He kicked the ball 75 yards before it hit the ground. It bounced and rolled another 23 yards. So it went from the one yard line on one end of the field to the one yard line on the other. Amazing.
     
    Steve O’Neal retired from the game a long time ago. He’s a dentist these days.
     
    tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors documents what some conservatives consider another Obama/Muslim scandal. Seems the house in which the first family will reside when they become the former first family is only 1,096 feet from a Mosque.
     
    So, if dentist Steve O’Neal could still kick a football as far as the record he set not quite half a century ago, and if he could do it every time he kicked, he could kick that ball from the Obama future front lawn, run way down the street and pick it up, kick it again, run way down the street and pick it up a third time, kick it again, run way down the street and pick it up a fourth time, all matching that record.
     
    Whew!
     
    Then when he tried it a fifth time, he would only have to kick the ball 65 yards to break a window at a house of worship.
     
    If that isn’t a scandal, you don’t know your conservative base.
