Enron Scandal

This is an interesting bit of information that you don't hear much about in the media ---

• Enron's chairman did meet with the president and the vice President in
  the Oval Office.


• Enron gave $420,000 to the president's party over three years.


• It donated $100,000 to the president's inauguration festivities.


• The Enron chairman stayed at the White House 11 times.


• The corporation had access to the administration at its highest levels and
  even enlisted the Commerce and State Departments to grease deals for it.


• The taxpayer-supported Export-Import Bank subsidized Enron for more than
  $600 million in just one transaction.

Scandalous!!

BUT...the president under whom all this happened WASN'T George W. Bush.

SURPRISE......... It was Bill Clinton!

Please pass this on so the whole Country will know. The Media Won't!

My Take on Boobie-Gate

Did you hear Janet Jackson's parents released a statement about the incident? They basically said, "Big deal. So she showed a little skin. At least she didn't fondle a 10-year-old".

Happy New Year, faithful readers.

I wish you all a happy and healthy 2004.

I'm sitting around impatiently waiting for the Orange Bowl, and hoping my beloved Seminoles can reverse their recent trend against the hated Miami Hurricanes.

God, I hate a rematch. Or, to paraphrase Indiana Jones: "Miami, why did it have to be Miami?"

Go Noles,

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Just wanted to wish my fellow bloggers all the glad tidings of the holiday season.

Or, as John Lennon once said,

"Happy Christmas, and a Merry Goo Year."

rr

Happy Halloween, Everyone!

I know, it's been awhile.

Jut wanted to let all my concerned readers know that's everything's cool.

Noles Win!!! Noles Win!!!

A not-as-easy-as-it-looked 35 - 10 victory, but will I take it?

You're damn right I will.

Thank you and good night.

rr

It's halftime, and we're ahead 21 - 10.

Let's go Noles in the second half.

rr

Well, it's close to halftime, and FSU has finally taken the lead over Maryland.

Also, I may have solved my color scheme problem. I guess we'll see, and then we'll know.

rr

Ok, so don't check out the new design. I did everything right to change it, but naturally it didn't work.

What a way to run a railroad.

rr

Check out the new design. Much more FSU-friendly, just in time for tonight's home opener against Maryland.

Time for the nightly ramblings from yours truly.

First things first. Be sure to check out the latest addition to my website. It's a pretty cool sports ticker, just in time for football season.

Speaking of which (football season, that is), whatcha think of Rush Limbaugh on ESPN? Pretty cool huh?

Should be an interesting game tonight between the New York J-E-T-S (Jets Jets Jets) and the Washington Native Americans (that's Redskins to you non-politically correct types out there). Being an FSU grad, it's hard not to hate any team coached by Steve Superior. And it'll be fun to see if Vinny still has anything left (provided he had a whole lot to begin with). Don't forget, I lived through the Vinnie years in Tampa Bay.

Well, I'm ready for some football. How 'bout you?

This is my first entry in my brand-new blog. I hope to discuss many, varied things: Sports, Music, Movies, News, Politics, or whatever I feel like at the moment.

Here's a couple of thoughts to get you started.

I'm a Pittsburgh Steeler fan by birth, and a Tampa Bay Bucs fan by proximity.

My favorite musical group is Yes, although I also count The Who, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, ELP, and Drum Corps among my musical loves.

I'm a M*A*S*H-a-holic.

My political views fall on the right side of the fence, although I wouldn't classify myself as a hard-core Conservative.

Come on in and join the fun.
