Stupid

Ass market.

I don't know why I follow this so obsessively anymore, but I do. I guess it's just the fun of knowing that I'll have to explain what it was like to live through these times to the GCs. They'll be reading in a textbook about how the government bought Wall Street, and they'll ask a question and I'll have to try and explain how a bunch or morons borrowed way too much money to lend to people who had no chance of paying it back. Then I'll have to move onto how that burdened the U.S. with an obscene amount of debt and how I hope she has fun paying it back.

Continuing with the bad news, the Saints found a new way to lose last night. In all honesty, it was a crazy game, with a blocked FG for a TD, 2 punt returns by Reggie for TDs, a halfback pass for a TD and a couple of missed FGs. In addition, the Saints committed about 500 penalties, and 3 turnovers. It's amazing they were still in this game at the end actually. To give credit, the defense played much better than I expected them to, it was the offense that couldn't quit shooting itself in the foot.

LSU vs. Fl this weekend. I'm getting fired up. Fl is the favorite, but I think the Tigers have a real shot. I've watched the Gators a couple of time this year, and I think we can pound them in the middle with Charles Scott. In fact, I would start with that, and I wouldn't stop until the stopped us cold. Of course, that should open up play action, and I would be looking down the field too a couple of times. I don't think this is the time to try and run end arounds and crap like that, especially considering FL may the fastest team in the SEC right now.

In laws on the way down. I'm hoping to get some Jeep time while they're here occupying the girls. I finally received the new body mounts, and I have a hankering (I love saying that) to get some damn work done.

Later
