LIFE IN GENERAL

-Well, TCU won again, 56-21, over Texas State. The next victim will be the loathesome Clemson Tigers. -Why is there a perception that the USC Trojans are this otherworldly ultra-invincible team? Once again, they choked, losing to the Washington Huskies. Watch as the polls only drop them 2-4 notches this week. Drop them 10-12 notches because the Huskies are coming from the abyss of lousy teams of last year. We don't really know if they are powderpuffs or not. -Don't really know who the best team is yet. Hard to say. The SEC looks a little bit stronger than last year but not as good as '07. -The Chase starts in Nascar today. I think Tony Stewart will be ok. It's just been his year. Juan Pablo Montoya has been a surprise during the middle of the season. He seems to finally be getting the hang of left-turn racing. -Finance Chairman Bernanke claims we are coming out of the recession. Hogwash! Cash for Clunkers, the first time homebuyer's $8000 credit and the no-tax weekend in many states artificially inflated the numbers. Restaurant business increased but only because menu prices increased. Don't let those loony libs fool ya. -What is it with all these bailouts and cash incentives? Wouldn't it be easier to give all Americans a break and help the economy by giving us a huge tax break? People will spend if they get some of their hard-earned money out of Obama's clutches. It's simple, people! -Had a nice time with my peeps at the Lumberton High School game this past Friday. Although the game was a blowout, it was great to rag and be ragged by my acquaintances and to have Bree and Lydia make an appearance at the game (especially since Bree doesn't get into football). Good fun times for all (plus I snagged a souvenir football now two weeks in a row.). Maybe I'll check out the Pirates again later this season. -Love that one cent sales tax increase here in NC. How much do you want to wager it won't expire in 2011 like it's supposed to? -love you, my good friends. Bye, for now.
