Ramblings, musings, etc...

This is just things that I have been thinking about a lot. Hopefully, they do not bore you...

- tomorrow is national letter of intent day for College Football. USC is poised to have a great class if they can convince Vontaze Burfict (from my town - Corona), Randall Carroll (seems like this would be simple, what with the guy having the same last name as the coach), Alshon Jeffery from de-committing.

- Tom Daschle withdraws from HHS nomination. Good move since Barack Obama wants to raise taxes and he keeps appointing guys who do NOT want to pay taxes! PS - paying your taxes after the fact is not honest...it is saving face after getting CAUGHT!

- if congress forces banks to modify peoples loans which could include but is not limited to lowering interest rates, lowering loan amounts (which basically consists of the person selling the house short to themselves) - then the whole individual credit ranking would be a worthless measure. All of the people foreclosed BEFORE the bailout would need to be relieved of the foreclosure on their credit.

- Kobe Bryant scored 61 points at MSG last night - helping to alleviate the sting of losing Andrew Bynum for the next 3 months (minimum). Pau Gasol is great a beating up bad front lines...see the Knicks, the Atlanta Hawks, etc...BUT he is going to have serious issues manning the middle against the Celtics, Magic, Cavs, Spurs...hopefully, '09 is not a repeat of '08.

- The Super Bowl was extremely boring for 52 minutes (nearly 3 hours in real life), but very entertaining for the last 8 minutes. Larry Fitzgerald is the man!

- Kenny Chesney's Lucky Old Sun is a great album. Makes me want to sit on the beach and drink (I know...I don't even drink)! You should check out his song The Life.

- California's debt has been downgraded to the lowest rated state by S&P. Should we be surprised??? No. Riverside and San Bernardino just announced letting go of approximately 450 firefighters and police officers.
