Football Sunday

By -
This weekend past was the kickoff to the 2009 NFL season. No complaining today, nor any editorials. They'll come later.

Watched my PITTSBURGH STEELERS (SIX (6) time Super Bowl Champions) win on Thursday night, Penn State drub Syracuse on Saturday and then tuned into football, football, football yesterday. Because it was Kick Off weekend, Directv offered the NFL Ticket free. Now there's some football watchin' there.

Started with the Chiefs vs Ravens, but then went to Minnesota vs Browns. Wanted to see what Favre might do, and it was a good game. That was a good game as the Browns held their own for most of the game. Spent most of the early games watching the Saints and Detroit and Denver & Cincinnati. Wanted to watch Kyle Orton at QB for the Broncos. The Bears sure made out on that trade. Saints looked awesome, but then they played Detroit. Drew Brees threw for 6 TD's.

Tonight we all get to see the biggest jerk in the NFL, Terrell Owens and the Bills vs Patriots and a healthy Tom Brady.

While the NFL Sunday Ticket is really great for a football fan, it just isn't worth the $300/season Directv wants for it, even though they have an NFL Mix where you can have 8 games on the screen at the same time.

Next Week, I'll look at the NFL Networks Red Zone.

Hope y'all had a good weekend.

What He Said

By -
I listened intently to President Obama last night. I was tempted to post something right away, but thought better of it. After having a chance to digest what he said, here is my interpretation: Hey all you Al Qaeda & Taliban guys in Afghanistan. If you can lay low for 18 months, I will declare victory and we're outta there. Guess they were the new Muslim friends he referred to in his speech.

Below is a letter I wrote to one of my Senators, Robert P. Casey Jr., (D) I received a pre-recorded message from the Senators office on Monday 17 Aug. The message was an invitation to participate in a tele-conference concerning health care reform. I think the letter is self-explanatory. Keith 18 August 2009 The Honorable Senator P.

Chrysler - Mama Mia, Ats Italian

By -
It pains me to write this. I have bought and owned nothing but Chrysler Corporation products, all Dodges and one Jeep, since 1976. I have never had a bad one. Now, this President issued orders to a PRIVATE company, an American icon, to partner with the Italian owned Fiat. Fiat, the mega automaker, is according to the latest statistics I can find is the 8th largest automaker in the world. Of all of the brands under the Fiat umbrella, only two of them are sold in these United States of America. With the Obama administration, the liberals and the environmentalist extreme pushing for Green stuff, like super fuel efficient cars, it does my heart good to see that Fiat exports two super fuel efficient cars to the United States. These two cars are the mega fuel efficient Ferrari (best EPA 2009 rating 11 City / 16 Highway) and Maserati (best EPA rating 11 City / 18 Highway). Well, wait a minute, they also sell the Alfa Romeo 8c here. The 8c is Alfa's muscle car, a 4.7L V-8 engine r
