Niners Schminers

Sure baseball season is over for us die-hard Giants fan, but with spring training a mere five months away and all of the contract negotiations...there's plenty to keep me occupied.

Unfortunately, with the slashing of their budget, we may be losing some valuable (read: uber cute) players. The women of the Bay Area are in mourning this week at the news of a possible loss of one of the finest men ever to don a Giants uniform.

God Bless the Giants and Brian Sabean in his decision making.

That's what I'm sayin'!

It's like me an Alan are the only ones around here with anything to say! shut me up already.

(and by the way, Clinton fought his own war on terror and liberated Bosnia from brutal war with the help of an international community, and managed to pay for the kidies to go to school. The deficit hasn't affected my lillie white ass but why does it always have to be about me?)

Are you alive? If so, write something!

You talkin' to me?

Clinton enjoyed a huge surplus because all he had to spend money on was dry-cleaning and cigars. Bush has had to deal with significant, complex and amazingly costly issues like terrorism and an economy that crashed right before he took office.

But, I ask you, has the deficit affected your life? Probably not. We still have emergency services, paved roads, the postal service and countless other mundane "perks" provided by our government. So quit your gripping, it's essentially pointless.

The Niners kicked some serious butt this weekend, much to my astonishment. Without TO's two end-zone drops, Hearst's critical fumble and a slew of really awful field goal attempts the game would have been textbook. Playoffs? Too early to tell.

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.
