Been looking around. What do I see? Crabby people who don't know how good they've got it. So what, the Cubbies are being sold? You think they'd be sold if they were making tons of money? No way. Why aren't they making tons? Because the present management can't get the job done. The White Sox take it all the way. What do Cubs fans do? Whine about a guy named Bartman who had a ball land in his lap. Bears fans are no better. They gripe about QBs. It could be worse. We could've had Brett Favre.

Buy anything on Amazon, for that matter, and I'll make a couple bucks. Rod Blagovich. What's there to say? Some funny stuff here: Senate Seats for Sale . Lost his attorney, but that might be a game to allow time to re-figure his approach. Either way, we'll have a new governor soon enough. A new president comes our way too, but Barack Obama has his own troubles . I think he'll find out George Bush was probably not the schmuck his campaign said he was. Famous painter Andrew Wyeth died . I liked his stuff. Christina's World: mysterious. Tough times for many. I'm not the only one no...
