All's right with the football world

This was a good football weekend, let me tell you. Michigan actually won, and against a top-10 team, LSU won (albeit against a not so great Mississippi State), and Florida lost (say it with me folks, he-he complete with Nelsonesque pointing). The Saints won and the Lions didn't lose (probably because they didn't play but we won't think of the glass half-empty). Matt Millen is no longer employed with the Lions so we can hope the franchise will turn around. And if it doesn't, we won't admit that he might not have been the problem. Deuce McAllister played, and played well thank you very much. I think the Saints organization has finally come to realize what he means to them and hopefully won't be stupid with him in the future.

In other news, there's the whole bailout mess. Maybe it's just me but does it not seem a bit unfair that we responsible folks have to keep paying our mortgage, pay the high gas prices, cut back everywhere we can to make up for the rise in everything from milk and bread to batteries and building materials, but these irresponsible buttheads in these corporations get a bailout from Uncle Sam for being greedy idiots. Once again, maybe it's just me.

Watched the presidential debates on Friday night. So far, not too impressed with either one, but have to admit I liked the fact that Obama would actually speak to McCain even if it was not reciprocated. Thursday's VP debate should be interesting. Heard they had to reformat the whole thing since they thought Palin wouldn't be able to handle a whole 5 minute discussion on issues going back and forth. If she can't handle 5 minutes discussing stuff before they're even elected, what's she going to do if she and McCain are elected? Call a timeout when discussing major issues? Have a break during speeches and summits? Just wondering.

Can't wait for November at life.sa.laugh@hotmail.com.
