Finally, Alan, we agree on something

As a young holligan growing up in the Bay Area, I associate many of my best childhood memories to the 49ers -- backyard barbeques, gameday parties, and best of all Winnie Cooper. Many of you don't know but "The Wonder Years" aired its first episode following a Niners superbowl victory. Unfortunately, like Winnie, the Niners have grown old and awkward.

On to more bitter news. Did you read today that the Bush Jr. has set a new record -- the highest budget deficit this country has ever seen. Thanks to Georgie Porgie, the U.S. has a credit card bill of $374.2 billion. Granted it equates to about 3.5 percent of the GDP, but its still a bundle considering Bill C. gave us a budget surplus during his 8 years.
