So, this is what happens when the Eagles lose. I just don’t write. I get into such a funk that I don’t want to think about football at all….yet its all I can think about. I suppose some remedy has to be found for this, because it appears we are in for a long, cold [...]

Eagles – Gnats: I haven’t blogged about the Birds very much over the last couple weeks.  The Eagles dispatched the Seahawks easily last week….I guess I’ve just been nervous about this game. The Eagles can make significant strides in digging themselves out of the hole they’ve dug themselves in the NFC East. So here’s Al, [...]

Well, it didn’t take one group long to sour on President-elect Obama. Those zany, fun-loving Iranians (you know, the one’s responsible for public hangings from cranes, bankrolling Hezbollah and stonings) congratulated Barack Obama the day after he as elected. President-elect Obama then made a comment calling a nuclear-armed Iran “unacceptable”. The Iranians didn’t waste any [...]

Last night I watched the Cleveburgh Browns lose to the Denver Broncos. The game was exciting and came down to the final minute of play. With a little less than a minute and a half to go, Broncos QB Jay Cutler hit Brandon Marshall for the go ahead score. The cameras showed Marshall pulling something [...]

Idiots of the Week – The Voters of Congressional District 12 of Pennsylvania

So much to choose from this week. Unfortunately, I have a job and this precludes me from giving them all the attention they so richly deserve. The voters of PA CD 12 who voted John Murtha back into office, however, are by far and away some of the biggest idiots I’ve ever come across. Share [...]

Well, The Market Has Voted

The Dow has plunged almost 900 points since it opened on November 5th. Yes, the market has been in shambles for awhile now. Still, it does not bode well for the new administration. I imagine that the market will react up or down depending on how it sees President-elect Obama’s administration taking shape and, maybe [...]

Item One: My Brothers P and J, along with twelve or so other guys, have a bulletin board set up on www.freeforums.org. I’ve known these guys, some on a strictly on line basis, for more than a decade now. The purpose of the board is to discuss our ongoing fantasy football keeper league. We also [...]

Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama

Congratulations to Barack Obama. He is proof positive that the American Dream is alive and well. I’m not sure that this country believed, even two years ago, that we would elect an African-American president. I think it takes a pretty special individual to break such a barrier. Share on Facebook

Thoughts from Middle America on Election Day

Election Day is upon us. I voted today and I urged everyone I know to vote. No matter what the outcome, we once more get to celebrate this great democracy of ours. I’m not feeling optimistic, though, based on my conversations with people. I realize that the dyed-the-wool liberals are going to vote for Obama. [...]
