I'm baaacccckkkkk!!!!
OK, I've been thinking about this for a while. I have thoughts, mostly political, which need more than the 256 characters allowed by facebook. So, I am going to join Mr. Michael King and start blogging again. Yes, I know no one is actually reading this, but what the hell.
So, we start with random thoughts....
Is there anything more unfair than the BCS? I just watched TCU take care of Wisconsin. A few years ago Boise State took care of Oklahoma and did so again this year to Virginia Tech. Utah did the same to Alabama a couple of years ago. So let's stop this greedy (by the big conferences) and unfair system and have a playoff.
I'm still certain the two-party system needs to end. It no longer serves to further our political needs.
The same goes for re-apportionment. Let the computers figure out the district lines, not politicians looking to make sure their jobs are safe.
My state representative is introducing a bill in the Georgia legislature this year to change our money to purely gold. Bobby Franklin is the stupidest person on the earth. See the story here.
Having now seen Freddi Gonzalez off the field a few times and talking to him at different events our kids share (Lassiter Trojan football stuff...Go Trojans!), I am amazingly confident he is the perfect replacement for Bobby Cox. I expect great things this year.
BTW, when did the Phillies decide to become the Yankees of the NL? How is what they are doing any different from what Stienbrenner did all those years?
Dale Murphy still deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. I wish I had a vote in the matter.
I continue to have the greatest wife ever. She's going to have to be my rock of strength as I start a diet and the goal of losing 50 pounds this year. 245 sounds so much better than...well...what I am right now.
Exactly how is it possible that Joel and Ethan Coen can make good movie after good movie without a clunker (although Tracey will argue about "Barton Fink")?
Favorite conservatives currently around - Mike King (WXIA webmaster), Joe Scarborough, Susan Collins, Alan Simpson.
My next posting will actually have more well thought-out commentary. And I promise to only make jokes about Sarah Palin once a week or so.
And so it goes.
