Delay and Snow in Colorado!

Ok...this blogger is going to ratchet down a bit after his long-winded initial post. As one comment put it: "Don't blow your load". Amen!

What is with our parties these days? After all, they are almost mirror images of each other (except the Democrats are less patient....they want their changes NOW...LOL). We'll never see an independant president because we have been lead to believe those are "wasted votes". A nice, clever wand the Republicans and Democrats weave in order to keep their power, money and status intact. That brings me to Tom Delay.

Seems to me taking a trip on a lobbyist's dime is like sucking up to your significant other when you want something and offering a ton in return (for example, as a husband, you want to go on your golfing outing. So you bring roses home and hope it sways the court of wifey's opinion.LOL)

When are these guys going to learn you cannot take advantage of the public's trust? Only when we, as voters, EDUCATE ourselves on who we are voting for. I bet you ask 10 people to name their states' governor and they couldn't tell you (let alone their LOCAL representatives in their states Senate/House).

Until We The People learn from our sorry ways, we have no room to whine about how our politicians run the country.

Now...onto the sports portion of this blog..:)

Snow in Colorado. Fine in December...not so good for baseball. At least that gives the pitching staff a rest from watching their deliveries end up in the stands faster than Michael Jackson's legal bills piling up.*G*

The Pirates *GASP!* have won two out of three games 2-0. AMAZING! It helped their cause that Houston had a rough series prior...but the Bucs needed a break. I guess my prediction that they wouldn't we 3 games in a row all season is all shot now.

And now my Heisman Trophy rant: This award is about as meaningful as the "best sound effect in a non-200 millon dollar motion picture award". How does someone almost win 2 and not even get drafted? (in a related story, 2 QB's with criminal pasts did, the 3rd string at USC who threw a TOTAL of 30 collegate passes did, and Maurice "liar liar pants on fire" Clarett did in the THIRD round.

Once you see Suzuki sponsoring something like that, it should tell you something.:)

Well, that's today's rant. Finally....

I wish to bring you to a website which I enjoy daily, and provides me with a good working knowledge for my blog. His name is Howard Kurtz at www.washingtonpost.com. It's called "Media Notes", and he's a great insperation to me as I am learning to be a blogger. His column comes highly recommended.

Take care and have a great Thursday!
