Mr Cuban should play the Roseanne Barr rendition of the anthem on the digital scoreboard.Also, how can Texas be embarrassed after electing and re-electing Canadian Cruz to Senate?

And no mutual defense treaty. When Mexico marches north to reclaim their territory, I say let them have it.

(For time re: "Yankee Doodle", it's all about improv/ingenuity...

When Italians started becoming a big thing, over here, their clothing was of a more-sophisticated style, and not only that, "what is pasta?"

To compete in town with only farmer's/ pioneer's everyday- clothing, the feather in the cap was considered a show of stylish pride. Italian "fanciness/style" was referred-to as "Macaroni"...

"Hot time in the ol' town tonight!"

Fine post, Dok. There's just one little thing...An old directive from Division says that the lieutenant governor shall be referred to as "loot goober". Everyone got that? "Loot goober."

(Creative Writing instructor):

"Ok. We've been over this, and some of that.

"We've also covered some of that and some of this.

"We've studied these other ideas, expositions and discertations, along with some assorted ramblings, each and all with their own merits.

"OK. So. I want you to write for me your final exam essay, the topic being anything we have NOT covered during this past semester. OK, thank you. You have 45 minutes. You may begin."

(What? No, Mr. Patrick, you cannot be excused.)

The NBA reversed course and made it a policy again that the anthem most be played.

Dallas, Mark's team, hadn't been playing the song all year until now.

Being a songwriter of sorts since early '70's, that sucks.

Good intentions, but a cover/supplement should at least be as good as the original, no matter how "different".

Needs more practice/rehearsal/ self-editing time.
