KC Chiefs - A Fresh Start in '09

On Sept 14th, I posted the following:

"It's long past time that the Kansas City Chiefs bring the long nightmare of the Carl Peterson era to a close. The Chiefs suffered an embarrassing 23-8 butt-kicking against a sub-par Raiders team today. This should be the final nail in Carl's coffin. What was once a proud franchise is now a complete joke. Change is way past due. Fire Carl and do it now!"

On Dec 15th, I finally got my wish. Carl is gone! Yeah!

I'm excited that the Chiefs will have a new GM in 2009. Here is hoping that our long playoff drought will soon end. Go Chiefs!

I'm back

I'm back. Except for a short post last week, I have been silent on this blog for the past two months. So why did I go dark? Let me explain:

About two weeks before the November elections, I stopped following the news. The liberal bias was just more than I could handle. In fact, it was darn right nauseating.

I had a bad feeling that the election would turn out the way it did and therefore occupied my mind with other things. That is my way of coping. It has taken me two months and quite frankly I'm still not over it. I just can't believe my fellow Americans elected such an evil man. Obama's election as president is truly a low point for America.

Life goes on though.

Tom, my partner, recently started his own blog (see "Tom's blog" under my Favorite Links) and he has been encouraging me to begin posting again on mine. With Tom's prodding, I'm back.

That said, I've decided to take this blog in a new direction. I plan to post less about politics and more on other interests. Stay tuned.

Madoff - another crooked DEMOCRAT

Well what do you know? Turns out that Bernard Madoff, one of the biggest crooks of all time, contributes mostly to liberal Democrats. He has given three separate $25K contributions to the DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE since 2006. It kills me that this isn't being reported by the MSM. How can anyone deny that the media has a liberal bias? If Madoff were a Republican donor the MSM would make this their top story.

Of course, Fox News is on top of it - as always: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2008/12/15/madoff-hefty-political-contributions-politicians/

Another good column

Michael Reagan's column also correctly assigns the blame for the mortgage mess where it belongs - with liberal Democrats.

Fire Carl

It's long past time that the Kansas City Chiefs bring the long nightmare of the Carl Peterson era to a close. The Chiefs suffered an embarrassing 23-8 butt-kicking against a sub-par Raiders team today. This should be the final nail in Carl's coffin. What was once a proud franchise is now a complete joke. Change is way past due. Fire Carl and do it now!

The Difference a Day Makes

Today is a beautiful day in Dallas - mostly sunny, few clouds, temps in the upper 80's. What a difference a day makes!

Notre Dame 35 Michigan 17

Now this is more like it! The 2-0 Fighting Irish looked like their old selves today with a nice win over Michigan. Is this the start of an Irish resurgence?

Dear Mr. Obama

This is a must-see video. I heard the audio yesterday on Rush Limbaugh's radio show. Hats off to this young man - a true American hero!

Mizzou rules!

The Missouri Tigers rolled past Nevada today 69-17. I don't get to watch too many Mizzou games here in Dallas but luckily this one was televised and I saw most of it. The Tigers were very impressive once again! Go Mizzou!
