Specter: "Bush Not Sole 'Decision-Maker'"

Hmmmm seems a Republican even says Bush is out of line. Watch them all change their tune as the 2008 election approaches. Keep an eye on the ones up for re-election. They will distance themselves gradually from W. Then start talking about an exit stategy.

Blog's 3 year anniversary

Well, if you glance over at the archives you will see they date back to Feb. 1st 2004. This means I have been writing my senseless drivel for 3 years. Crazy really. It seems like just yesterday I threw together this blog on a whim. Then it was mostly used as a platform for my various political tyrades, rants, and raves. Always the latest sports story to lighten the tone, and more recently some posts about type 2 diabetes. Quite a collection of non-related articles and material. Some writings that came from the heart. Mostly links to stuff I find interesting and want to share with my very small audience. When I started this blog, Myspace was certainly not exploding with users like it is now. The thing to do back then was write a blog. Most people either wrote about their day-to-day life, or picked a single topic and stuck to it. I chose to organize my blog like a messy salad bar. You check it out, see if there is anything you like, then put it on your plate. If anybody is thinking of starting their own blog, and they want lots of traffic, I suggest you try a different approach than I did. Still, I am proud of my little blog. It has survived 3 years and grows slowly. I write it for my own personal reasons. Sure I'd like to have a larger readership, but oh well. So here's to another 3 years, may my slice of twisted cyberspace still exist then, and on into the future.

Ford posts worst loss in company's history

This blog is written about 40 minutes west of the Motor City. I was born in Detroit. I grew up in a suburb that was 10 minutes from Detroit. So this article hits home for all Michiganders in regards to the life force of our local economy. The implications of this economic bleeding in Dearborn are far reaching. Read the article for yourself if you can stomach the numbers. How does -12.7 billion sound? What is ironic about this breaking news story; it comes from the the World Business section ofthe Taipei Times website. It seems everything really has been outsourced, even the news of our dying auto industry.

Son of a bee sting

Bush: "I'm the Decision-Maker' on Iraq".

Wow, that is something to be proud of George. By the way, no you are not anymore. I hope congress smacks down all your crappy policies and legislation until we can rejoice at your departure in 2008. You have a 20 something percent approval rating Mr. Bush. That means 8 out of 10 Americans think you suck and the other 2 don't care what happens, because they are as drunk as you were while you pretended to be in the Air National Guard during Nam. So go rustle some cattle at your ranch you fake cowboy, and when you are done, go duck hunting with Dick Cheney and we can find out who is a better shot. Let congress do their job, get out of the way. Your own party doesn't support you anymore, the election is coming, they will distance themselves from you for their own safety. The people have spoken. They said, "Bush, sit down and let intelligent people clean up your mess with a logical solution.".

Wild Predictions

Well, I have been known to throw around my wild sports predictions in the past. So why stop now? It is Superbowl time. Mostly I have been a Kentucky Derby longshot handicapper, with 33% success. So here it comes, I think the Bears can pull this off. The biggest (and I mean biggest) challenge they face is the passing attack of the Colts. As much as I hate to say this, the Colts have the best QB and recievers in the league. The key to beating the Colts, get in Peyton's face all day long, 4 quarters in his face without ever letting up. This is a gamble, you blitz this guy and he still throws it up the middle and burns you. However, let's not overlook the Chicago defense, best in the NFL. If they come to play, and can cause some turnovers, we have ourselves a nice little ballgame. Urlacher must deliver another powerful performance to help the Bears to victory. Just bear in mind (pun intended) this game will be much closer, and hard fought than people are willing to believe. The word on the street is that the Colts walk away with a win and the Bears never get in the game, I don't see it that way folks. So as my title says, a wild prediction, Bears 27 - Colts 24. If I am way off, I will publish a little apology, if I am right, I will run around screaming "I TOLD YOU SO !!!". Enjoy the game.

Chicago Bears are headed to the Super Bowl

With fog and doubt shrouding Soldier Field, Bears Coach Lovie Smith kept his unbending faith in his quarterback. Can the Bears upset the Colts? I say of course they can.

Dschingis Khan Muskouw Dance

quite humorous ?!???!!!?!? I thought so. The late 1970's disco band Dschingis Khan, from germany, recorded this video of their hit Muskouw, hailing the Russian capital of Moscow. The dance moves are hilarious and the singers themselves are even better.
