Ok, so the NFL Draft is about to start,

and they're introducing some past draft greats and current prospects. I'm pretty sure that I heard a ton of people booing Dan Marino. I also think I'm going to be nauseous due to the complete lack of respect for one of the greatest of all time. Stupid New Yorkers.

An addition to the family




My wonderful wife just picked him up yesterday. Very exciting indeed. The younger female is getting over a small case of cold, so we'll have her home in about a week. Yes, that's him laying on MY Saints blanket. I can feel myself breaking out in hives from here. Just kidding. But seriously, I'm allergic to cats.

Hopefully they're not too much for me. Since we already paid for them, I'm wondering who my wife would choose...Me? Or them.

So, you're telling me that the Chicago Cubs lost two games today by a combined score of 23-7?

I can already feel that it's going to be a long season for all Cub fans...This one included.

Tread lightly Mr. President, tread lightly

When reading an article written by David Paul Kuhn for the LA Times (which also appeared in the Albany Times-Union), I stumbled across an interesting quote concerning President Obama, his liberal agenda, and the outstanding support he once had from white male voters which has all but disappeared.
 

"Think about the average working man. He has already seen financial bailouts for the rich folks above him. Now he sees a health care bailout for the poor folks below him. Big government represents lots of costs and little gain.

Meanwhile, like many women, these men are simply trying to push ahead without being pushed under. Some once believed in Obama. Now they feel forgotten."

My take on this: Right on the money. In my honest opinion, Democrats need to start treading lightly. I understand this health-care issue is being cast as a decided victory which gives them more political capital, but these issues are severely dividing the country. The tight margin by which health care was passed does not provide a mandate for the liberal agenda laid out by the President and Congress. If the President and his side of the aisle continue to ignore the wishes of the electorate and continue to abandon those that voted for him (especially those that were on the fence about him to begin with), the results will be apparent this fall in the mid-term election. That election emotion could very easily spill over to the next Presidential election.
