2010 NFL SEASON: WEEK 9




Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for winning their first World Series since 1954 when they were the New York Baseball Giants. It was a good, hard fought series. The Rangers gave it all. Once again, congratulations to that franchise and their city; they deserve it.

And for the record: Go Rangers in 2011!

IF THE TEA PARTY WINS, AMERICA LOSES



I think I have done a decent job of highlighting the extreme positions that the Tea Party takeover of the Republican Party has exhibited during this election cycle.

If you are contemplating not voting on Tuesday, I suggest you do not.

That is what the Tea Party is counting on you not doing.

I HIGHLY suggest that you exercise your vote. Reject the extremism that they are advocating.

Do not let the Tea Party win.

I WANT THAT MONEY!!
