What next for the Country?

Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Congress finally succeeded in passing the huge $800 billion dollar bailout.

Wall Street responded in kind to the Bailout dropping immediately following the vote.

Nancy Pelosi was then asked if this was going to curb the spending spree that the Dems had planned for next year after the elections. "No" was the answer. This is only a loan we didn't spend the money.

I can't believe that we have allowed this to happen. If this is the new Direction she is talking about I want off the ride.

Brewers face 0-2

The Brewers sent CC to the Mound hopefully to walk out of Philly with at least a split. However the Brewers crawled out of Philly down 0-2. The Brewer Bats have been ice cold and the defense really let them down in game 1.

Home in Milwaukee they will have to do the seemingly impossible and sweep the next 3. They can do it, but they have to get hot, hot, hot.

Brewers drop Game 1

The Brewers dropped Game 1 to the Phillies. Why in the world you would start Weeks over Durham is beyond me. When I first saw the line up I thought that Ned Yost was back at the helm. Weeks didn't surprise me with his error, it is typical Weeks.

The mistake by Cameron did surprise me though. The Brewers will send Sebathia to the mound for Game 2 and have to get out of Philly with a split.

Bailout!!! Who to Blame?

Over the past several days we have all heard about the dire straights that we are in here in America with our economy.  We have heard who is to blame.  The Republicans, the Democrats, the President, Wall Street, Corporate America, Mickey Mouse.....

Who really is to blame?  I personally think that there is plenty of blame to go around.  I think that you can fairly say that both parties had a hand in this mess.  The Democrats can't blame the Republicans as they have controlled both houses and did nothing to stop it.  Republicans can't really blame the Democrats as they controlled both houses prior to the last big election and did nothing to stop it.  You can't really blame the President, as Congress can override him at will.  

The blame needs to fall on all of our sorry little asses!!!!  We elect these do nothing people into very powerful positions and then don't hold them accountable.  We don't do our homework before the elections to really find out what they are all about.  We go by the catchy little ads that are put out there because we are too lazy to do some research.  Spend some time to find out about your local, state, and federal reps before election time.  Is the person you put into office last time doing their job as you wish?  Are they voted like you want them to?  If not kick their ass to the curb.  You couldn't get away with that at work could you?

Do your job!!! Remember these people work for us, and should reflect your decisions!!!

BREWERS ARE IN!!!!

The Milwaukee Brewers have ended a 26 year drought of making the playoffs.  Riding the arm of their midseason acquisition CC Sebathia, the Brewers held the Cubs to 1 run until Ryan Braun could blast a no doubt 8th inning 2 run shot to take a 3-1 win.

At almost the same time former Brewer Wes Helms hit a home run to give the Marlins a 3-2 lead over the New York Mets, followed up by a Dan Uggla home run and a Marlins 4-2 win.

BREWERS ARE IN!!!! Play the Phillies on Wednesday.

Big Day for Brewers

The Brewers blew a big opportunity yesterday when they allowed the Cubs to put up 7 runs on them. The Cubs basically started all of their backups and the Brewers failed to capitalize.

The Mets put up a win to bring the Wild Card back into a tie.

Today is by far the biggest game in Miller Parks short history. With the Mets starting an hour earlier than the Brewers you can bet their will be plenty of scoreboard watching throughout this contest. A win by the Brewers and a loss by the Mets, the Brewers are in. A loss by the Brewers and a win by the Mets, the Brewers are done. If they both win or both lose, then a one game playoff tomorrow in NY between the Mets and Brewers to decide who gets in.

Go BREWERS!!!
