A Grim Monday for the People of Dallas

Good.

We're gonna say it...We're gonna say it...'How 'bout dem Cowboys!'  Daaaaaaang, 48-32 and half of Dallas' points were garbage time touchdowns. We've no idea why or how the Cowboy's defense was so unprepared.  Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was on a lot of head coach short lists. He should be fired. Head coach Mike McCarthy should probably go too.* Afterall, Bill Belichick is out there. We've nothing against quarterback Dak Prescott, but he's not as good as his media constituency wants him to be. He's not even as good as Danny White. Dallas fans, this is what happens when the refs aren't rigging the game for you. 

So a young Cloudflare employee posted a video of her call with HR, in which she gets fired. We consulted the extremely corporate Mrs. Stroock about this, who responded, 'Who's going to hire her now?' That being said we sympathize with this young woman. The HR ladies can't not talk in HR speak and seem incapable of formulating normal sentences. Speak a lot but say little. [You know one of the HR people was a man-Ed]. We stand by our statement.  As the video went on, the more we liked this young woman who simply refused to accept HR's obfuscations and determination to get the call overwith as quickly as possible. ** 

Let's see we've been fired/let go/laid off...five times. [You're not going to talk about Raritan Valley Community College again, are you?-Ed] Naaa...not really, just to mention that we had a very similar conversation with the head of the Humanities department. Come to think of it, we've never literary revenged that quivering mass of post-modernism, though we've nailed the adjunct liaison a few times. We went to enormous trouble to exercise literary revenge in Blooms, and shall do so again. 'Keith took another hit off the crack pipe and then picked the crusted seamen off his chin...' [Oh my god...And this is your 'not really' talking about RVCC? It's been almost nine years. Nine Years. I'm sorry, that's all the time we have for today-Ed]

Tonight is the Iowa Caucus. We'll not handicap it. But we asked our man on the ground in Iowa about the alleged Vivek surge. He responded with the laughing emoji. Does it even matter? We don't think it even matters. Or maybe, perhaps, Trump has reinvented himself and his campaign. We'll see. This blog urges Iowans throughout the Buckeye State to caucus for Ron DeSantis. Fun fact: our preferred candidate has never won the primary.  Going back to 1992, Tsongas, Alexander [Who?-Ed], McCain, Rudy, Marco....[Boy, you can sure pick 'em]. We sure can. We won't believe Trump or any other Republican can win the presidency until someone explains to me how the GOP intends to Stop the Steal. Exit question: assuming Trump is the nominee, does the GOP even want to Stop the Steal?

Monday Metal, Kashmir with a violin:

*In 17 years, McCarthy is 167-102 with one Super Bowl victory. The man wins a lot of football games.

**Also, she's kinda cute. We're enchanted.
