Random Thoughts 10/19/06

• Three Quarterbacks in the NFL this year have lost an internal organ. Isn't that a bit high? Two passers, the Pittsburgh starter and the Cincinnati backup had an appendectomy while the Tampa Bay starter lost his spleen. Only one out of a thousand people each year have their appendix removed and even fewer have a splenectomy, but there are less than a hundred quarterbacks in the NFL. Go figure.
• Claire McCaskill is a nut job.
• I probably wouldn't spend $20 on a t-shirt but if I did, this would be the one.
  
• Okay, let me elaborate on McCaskill. She's a Democrat running for US Senate in Muhzurah. She had a debate the other night and asserted that President Bush controls the gas prices, that they're going down because that will get Republicans elected, that after the elections the gas prices will go right back up, and that Muhzurans all know it. They do? How do you even begin to argue against someone with this kind of conspiratorial delusions? I bet she thinks President Bush can control the weather!
• I'm 4-2 with my Fantasy Football team. Torry Holt and Kevin Jones have really done it for me so far this year, especially since we get 1 point for every reception. But it doesn't hurt to have kickers like Robbie Gould and John Kasay either.
• Our new budgeting plan is going really well. We've never actually stuck to it like we have with this Dave Ramsey class and the results are amazing. I couldn't be more pleased with the difference it's making in our lives and in our future.
• Did you know that there is a bill in the House that would make Election Day a national holiday called Democracy Day? The Tuesday following the first Monday in November is already a legal holiday in some states. Election Day is November 7 this year.
