Winter

Well ,its that time of year again. Now that the holidays are over, we tend to focus on the weather, specificly the cold. Working outside makes it that much more of a focus for me. Then again, after 33 years of going through this, it becomes harder and harder each year.
If we thought about ways to help others or improve ourselves the same amount of time that we mope around worrying if it will snow or how cold its going to be, then maybe our lives would be more positive and constructive this time of year. Too many of us get down by the short, cold, snowy, winter days.
Quit whining and wake up. Quit laying around and be creative and constructive.
Now that I've diagnosed my own problem, I'd better get back to work.Go home and read by a fire . Maybe you can light the fire inside you that has apparently gone out.

Blessings, Steg

Fed Should Bail Out Larry Flynt and Other Porn Magnates
By Robert Paul Reyes





"Adult entertainment moguls Larry Flynt and Joe Francis are asking for a $5 billion bailout from the government, claiming the pornography industry on the decline.

Flynt, founder of the porn magazine Hustler, and Francis, 'Girls Gone Wild' producer, feel that they should be granted a portion of the recent $700 billion package by President George W. Bush to help the economy back on its feet.

They said that they deserve the same consideration that the government is willing to give other businesses.

Flynt said in a statement, 'With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America.'" Ann Lu/AllHeadlineNews.Com


Larry Flynt and Joe Francis make a convincing case, if banks, investment corporations, insurance companies and auto manufacturers have been bailed out, why not such stalwarts of the adult entertainment business? It makes about as much sense to bail out Chrysler as it does to bail out Hustler and Girls Gone Wild. It could be argued that Chrysler is responsible for its predicament by manufacturing cars that the American public doesn't want to buy, while it's clear the porn industry isn't responsible for its declining fortunes. The Internet has dealt a devastating blow to the porn industry, why pay for porn when you can get it for free on the Net? Purveyors of porn are more worthy recipients of government largesse than the aforementioned industries. Banks, mortgage companies and insurance companies screw us without mercy, but the only ones who porn entertainers screw are themselves.

The CEOs of the banks, insurance companies and auto companies that have been bailed out are soulless and bland nonentities who haven't contributed anything to society. On the other hand Americans owe Flynt our gratitude and respect, he has dedicated his life to defending free speech.

I'll admit that Joe Francis is a creep and a wuzz, after a few weeks in jail he starts crying like a schoolgirl. But even Francis isn't as contemptible and vile as the business magnates that Uncle Sam has already bailed out.

There's a place for adult entertainment in our society, especially in hard economic times when pleasures are hard to come by. We need Girls Gone Wild to help us forget that we are in jeopardy of losing our homes and our jobs.

No industry should be bailed out, but if the federal government is hell-bent on rescuing badly-managed companies that deserve to go bankrupt, then the porn industry should also receive a few billion dollars.

Ohio State football can not win a bowl game. I think it has something to do with their coach. Jim Tressell in my opinion should be fired. Here are my reasons:

1. He can't control his players. #90 on the defense cost the team 2 different penalties of 15 yards each. Tressell could not convince this guy and explain to him that it was a college football game and not an ultimate fight in a cage where anything goes. This player continued to attack the head of the Texas QB.
2. Beanie was not well in the second half. He did nothing. This was Tressell's fault, thinking just because he ran like a breakaway freight train in the fist half, that the same would occur in the second half.---News flash---That is the job of a Good coach which is to analize how your team does and make adjustments and to rectify them.Texas outcoached him.
3.Tressel didn't adapt when Beanie was't well. His plan was suspect.
4. You don't mess with a Texan named Colt McCoy. He was beaten and battered by the Kimbo Slices of OSU . He kept his poise and composure and settled for the 5-12 yard passes and won the game.
OSU messed with the bull and eventually got the horn.
Jim Tressell-you stink but I hope you are still there next year so I can bet against you and fatten up my 401K like I have the past few years.

Blessings,
Steg
