Crowley's Corner

     I've been writing this blog for over a year now and wondering is it worth it at least taking politics especially now that I'm not planning on running for any office anytime soon (well maybe the Mayor of Temple Terrace to run against a woman pretending she's a doctor) and main reason for this blog was when I attempted to run for Congress unsuccessfully. Now I'm wondering if I should talk politics anymore. It's divisive and it seems like no matter what I said, other said, what facts are laid out. People on the right are going to say with Trump no matter what and I think a good portion of the population are losing their morals and beliefs or they already lost them to support this asshole including those who are in Congress and those who work for Trump. Of course, you can make the case their morals and beliefs were questionable at best before Trump and now they don't bother to hide it anymore. Also, I admit I have lost some friends over Trump/Politics in genera...

     I know I have defended the media on a few posts (well not named Fox News and other Pro Trump/Republicans those I attacked) and I do believe that the media gets a bad rap because of a certain somebody who can't stand why their being mean to him because he thought they would kiss his ass because he is Donald Trump (not how it works Donnie Boy) and his followers who believe every word from his mouth and don't bother doing research to see which side is right and which is wrong. Also, stop with this Presidental harassment bullshit. Was it Presidental Harassment went you and other Republicans went after Obama over his damn birth certificate which Obama did show? Went are you going to show us your Tax Returns ASSHOLE? Sorry needed to get that out of my system, moving on. However, I believe the late-night comedy shows are the really the ones who are talking about real news than well the real news networks. I believe it started with Jon Stewart when he took over for the Daily...

     Before I get to the big news of the Rays getting permission to play in Montreal as well along here in Tampa (well St. Pete really). I should talk about the history of Tampa trying to get a team to come here before the city was awarded an expansion in 1998. Tampa from the 1980s to the mid-1990s had close calls like the Texas Rangers before a group which had George W Bush (yes that guy) and possibly Rick Scott (yes that guy) bought the club and kept it Texas (ASSHOLES and these guys got voted in by Floridians?). Then there was the Chicago White Sox, then there was an expansion team that ended up being award to Miami in 1993 (more on them later), then the San Francisco Giants which was all a done deal but the National League Owner nixed the deal and move because San Francisco officials got bitchy about it and so did Florida Marlins owner at the time Wayne Huizenga (ASSHOLES), and then the Seattle Mariners before Tampa got the Devil Rays. Of course, we had to deal with t...

     When you think of Christian you think Conservative/Republicans right? In most cases, you would be right however I am one of the few Christians who are liberal. I was raised by parents who are also liberal Christians from New York. I know, I'm sure you think most liberals are against religion at least Conservatives think that. Well, I don't know how many of my fellow liberals are against religion or how many liberals left organize church (which is a problem for the church) but according to pewforum.com not many liberals are Christian. The highest age group of liberal Christians is the ages of 30-49 (my age group) with 35 percent. The next highest is 50-64 with 27 percent. Again not good. Here's the link: https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/christians/christian/political-ideology/liberal/      I admit I when to Sunday School (I went to Public School Monday-Friday if you're wondering) and that church I was raised at was leaning Conserva...

     As you know I a big fan of MTV's The Challenge, I started following since the days it was called the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Now that Road Rules has been gone since 2007 and Real World had a two-year hiatus even though the latter coming back on Facebook Live on June 13th. It expanded to other shows since Exes 2 with Are You the One a show which is nearly done and since then added Big Brother, Bachelorette, and Reality Shows from other countries like England and Turkey where the winner of the latest season War of the Worlds Turbo came from (he won Survivor Turkey). MTV.com released an article of the Challenge hall of fame (and all of them are alums of the Real World/Road Rules/Challenge and not the other shows) which the link is in the bottom. http://www.mtv.com/news/3117955/challenge-hall-of-fame-induction/ Without much further ado here are my thoughts on the Challenge Hall of Fame.
