General thoughts- busy news day

After watching the MU news conference, I have a few thought about that, and other things that have happened the last few days.
--Everyone is saying that MU is done with the Big 12, and that may be true. But MU may also just be saying to Texas, " Look, either share the revenue equally, or we're gone. And if A&M and we go, what makes you think anyone wants to be in a conference you're in."
--Governor Christie may have views I would hate, but I have to admit, he has a presence, and scruples, and would be a great leader in the right organization. I can understand why a lot of people want him to run after watching the news conference today.
--As bad as the Chiefs looked in their first 2 games, if they win Sunday, a winning season is still possible. It may not be enough to get in the playoffs, but after all the injuries, it would be a very good year.
--I'm ecstatic that the Wall Street protests are going world-wide. We need to peacefully protest things that we disagree with and are bad for our country. And what Wall Street has done to our economy and in countries around the world. CNN is showing the protests in a bad light, which just shows who's pockets they're in.
--Speaking of the Wall Street protesters, there is talk on twitter that some think they will be the left's Tea Party. I can't see where this group would ever hijack the Democratic Party, stopping moderates from getting nominated, and try to get rid of the federal government. But that's exactly what the Tea Party has done to the GOP.
--In a recent poll, over 50% of the people asked didn't know that GOP stood for Grand Old Party. Now, this wouldn't be so bad, but it was asked of only registered Republicans, and it was multiple choice. And still more than half got it wrong. 
--The weather has been so great here recently, so I'm sure when it snaps, it will snap with a vengeance. The next time we get a storm, I'm half expecting a tornado or snow to hit.
--The Royals may actually lose players in the Rule 5 draft instead of picking up 1 or 2. While this may not mean much to most people, it means that the team is now getting so deep, there are players we can't protect that other teams want. And that can't be a bad thing.
--I'm still amazed that Verlander pitched in the 8th inning, and his pitches were averaging over 95mph that inning. He was only pitching in the low to mid 90s early in the game, and was over 100 several times in the 8th.
