Back when I was a Boy....
A bottle of Coke was 5 cents
A gallon of gas was 33 cents
Men looked and acted like men.
Nice girls were shy and did not use four-letter words.
The World Series was in early September.
A real man kept his word.
Prayer anywhere at anytime was ok.
Professional athletes were positive role models.
Big business was conducted with integrity.
Marriage was a life commitment.
Divorce was shameful.
Hard work was honored.
Government was not so big.
War was war and the US defended its people.
"Political correctness" was not even a phrase, certainly not a philosophy.
Bookmaker was the name of a guy in my neighborhood

Things that really piss me off
2. Politicians in general. The founding fathers never intended for members of Congress to be or become professional politicians.
3.Political Correctness. I in no way advocate embarrassing or demeaning another person by verbal cruelty.
4. The hypocrisy of college sports. Of course our QB does not get paid... Yeah
5. Tattoos and gold chains. Hey, look at me.
6. 99.9% of parents of athletes and their children's personal trainers who undermind the efforts of experienced school coaches. Everybody is a flippin' coach!
7. How we have allowed the television networks to totally control college football.
8. Nike and their "clown" uniforms.
9. Female football sportscasters - if you haven't worn the jock strap, then stay out of the broadcast booth.
10. The NBA lockout
11. The NBA

A Nation in Ruin?
Is it just me? Or is a once strong and proud America becoming as the last days of the Roman or the Babylonian Empires? Historians tell us that their fall came from within.
Corruption, sexual immorality, greed, lack of government and personal discipline brought both great civilizations to their knees.
Over the past few years American leaders have become more dysfunctional. The American Congress, big business, sports, schools, you name it. We are becoming a leaderless, corrupt, vile, immoral nation. A nation that once looked to its God for leadership, guidance and approval. God was happy and He blessed this country. We once prayed at home, in school, and at public events for His guidance. Now such prayer is forbidden in public places because a few very sick individuals were offended and we have allowed them to blackmail a whole nation.
Oh my, please don't offend anyone. God will just have to understand that we don't need Him anymore since we have become an all-knowing people. We have eaten the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and now we don't need a God.
Now we are eating one another, especially our defenseless children. We have become so perverted that nothing is sacred. The angels of Satan are just about in control. Yes there is a Satan. Jerry Sanduskys and all like him are Satan's angels.
Our children are a gift from God no matter what the liberal sickos will say. We are to love them, nurture them, teach them, protect them, and pray for them. But what do we do? We expose them to all manner of filth. We use them for our own pleasure and profit. We kill them. They are our future as a nation. Will they continue to advance our downfall? Yes they will because they will know no better.
I once had an elderly friend who matter-of-factly said to me that public hangings once did a lot to deter crime. For a child molester or a wife beater, bring it on! Hang the som bitches and show it on national television. The angels of Satan are winning - because they have so much help in America.
Dec 20: Delete one item from the BobLee will never ever do list. I have often maintained that there is nothing on the other side of THAT I value enough to cross to get to! THAT - The Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge aka The New Cooper River at Charleston - has fallen from atop my Not To Ever Do List. Its former #1 place now shared by (1A) Vote For Obama and (1B) Have Breakfast at BOTBob’s MegaMansion.

I have long held the theory that a broken heart can kill a person in the same way a bad disease, a tragic accident, or a crazed murderer can. I’m not talking about a failed aortic valve or cardiac arrest here. While medical experts may refute me, my personal belief was strengthened Sunday morning when everywhere I looked it was being blared that hallowed Penn State football coach Joe Paterno had just died in an ending more tragic and sad than any of us could ever dream.
Last month Ohio State hired Urban Meyer to coach football for $4million a year plus bonuses. Gordon Aubrecht, an Ohio State physics professor, says he does not have enough money in his professional development budget to cover expenses at conferences.
William E. Kirwan, chancellor of the University of Maryland system states, “We’ve reached a point where big-time intercollegiate athletics is undermining the integrity of our institutions.
Charles T. Clotfelter, a public policy professor at Duke, notes that between 1985 and 2010, average salaries at public universities rose 32 percent for full professors, 90 percent for presidents, and 650 percent for football coaches.
We now play college football games during the week, causing traffic gridlock and tailgating on campus during a school day. Add to that the TV crews and their vehicles and some hosting universities are now forced to cancel classes. Athletic departments no longer schedule big game days or times, yielding to the big money of TV and the added exposure of the school's football or basketball program that accompanies such coverage.
Who said it isn't all about the money. Has it gotten to the point that universities exist so that we can have football and basketball?
