Pete to Falcons?

who in their right mind thinks this is going to happen? it has been said that he would only do it if he was given full authority. but do you want full authority of that mess? this will be an interesting development. do you leave a job that i am sure is as fun as anything out there for a project? do not question he WILL get paid. you have to think somewhere in the 5 year $45-50 million range guaranteed. he is probably making less then then $4 million/year now. 2 things- he is a god in LA and the college ranks. even if he goes to Atlanta, which has a good owner, and fails he will be $45 million richer and would still have his choice of jobs in college. i am thinking UCLA will be on probation by then.

the falcons were bad but they aren't the raiders

I Got a Poll that you can Survey

Hillary's teary eyed moment did not spell doom for the Clinton campaign. This makes for a more spicy future in terms of the election. It would have been boring if Obama were to run away with such as the polls were stating. Polls and surveys are interesting and entertaining, but never accurate when dealing with humans. People, unlike damn near everything else, can change their mind. In politics, the polls can only be 50% accurate because something could happen between the poll and the actual vote which may cause the voter to go the other way. A brilliant man once said this about data and surveys, "Polls and Surveys are like a bikini, what they reveal is interesting, but what they cover up is vital". Meaning that data can be used to create any story, even when the story is not the truth.

Vick to get out early

Michael Vick was one of the most exciting players to ever play football and made numerous highlight reel plays. All of those spectacular plays pale in comparison to the one that he just made. His positive drug test before sentencing increased the duration of his prison term. He said he smoked after seeing his father on the news saying disparaging things about him. That combined with an inevitable jail term makes smoking a joint seem not so horrible. At least not 9 months more jail time horrible.

That same mistake is what will set him free. Michael Vick became eligible to enter a drug rehab program. This program will allow him to potentially get in a year because he has no prior record. People will complain, but losing his livelihood and wealth is punishment enough. Imus got his job back and probably a raise.

Fannation

Vick, who failed a drug test while awaiting sentencing in the dogfighting case, is eligible for a federal drug treatment program known as the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). Inmates are involved in intensive treatment that lasts six to 12 months, with a minimum of 500 hours of treatment. Upon completion of the program, the inmate's eligibility for early release based on previous criminal convictions is determined. Vick did not have any previous convictions before his dogfighting case

Tiger Woods should be lynched?

That is exactly what the Golf Channel anchor said. I don't care what the context is, that is racist. It may be subconscious and she may have black friends but that was racial. CNN told me all day yesterday that America's race issues were resolved because Iowa voted for Obama. I guess they were wrong(I'm being sarcastic here people). The media should stop trying to tell black people that everything is all fair and equal. It is not, and it probably will never be. You know why? Because African Americans missed out on wealth opportunities. We can get rich, but few of us are wealthy. That is what slavery did. It disenfranchised African Americans and removed the concept of inheritance(number 1 wealth generator). Few people have ever discussed the impact that slavery had on wealth and its long term affects. I don't think they are tolerant and intelligent enough to actually investigate the issue properly. There are too many pent up emotions to study this objectively.

Coolest thing at CES

The big consumer tech show is currently taking place.
My personal award goes to Microvision (Click Here). They have a hand held projector.
It is size of an old school IPOD and projects at dvd level clarity.
I pick them because they are one my customers. I made a trip to Seattle last year to visit with them and get an update as to how they were doing.

It's great to see that they made it and it allows my former employer to get into a high volume consumer based product.

Every breath you take

Have you watched CNN lately? They have changed their format. I think the blogs have changed the way big media reports the news. At first the impact was only felt by web based news, but it now seems like the television news is reporting the same sensationalized way as the web. The problem is that they are not natural and remind one of their old relative trying to dance to a modern song(like Norv yesterday).

They are making such a big deal about Iowa that it's annoying. Hilary didn't cry. She got a little emotional but it was good thing and not something to blow out or proportion. The media is trying to paint a picture that she is desperate and are trying to betray an misstep that she makes. Based upon CNN, all of America's race problems are solved because Iowa has voted for Obama. Obama is half white and non African American. If America can't find something in common with him, they are stupid.

Barack and Gore

That is a good ticket right there. Barack Obama for President and Al Gore as his Vice President! Barack Obama should see if Al Gore is down for a encore performance as VP. They would make the best combination.
