"We've talked about it. I'm not going to get into it," Cutler said. "It was an unfortunate situation. They talked a lot and the talk got heated between the two teams. Personally I don't think the teams like each other, which is fine. It's just going to add to it next year. It's going to be exciting."
The Chargers swept Denver for the second straight year, holding the Broncos to just a field goal in each game. San Diego won 41-3 at Denver on Oct. 7.
San Diego beat arch-rival Denver by a total of 64-6 in 2 games this year!!!
I want my Chargers to go all the way, but I think beating the heck out of rivals like Denver, Oakland and KC are great times as well, and I suppose I should be happy for the fact that we do have a really good team...Even if not as good as the Patriots.

Governator and good leadership
*Why I really like the Governator. Enough already Bush Administration, you not only want to stick your head in the sand, but you want to drag everyone down to your level of ignorance and stupidity.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to sue the federal government over its decision not to allow a California plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, he announced Thursday.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says the state will sue the federal government.
Environmental Protection Agency chief Stephen Johnson announced the decision Wednesday, refusing the state's request for a waiver that would have allowed it to cut emissions faster than a new federal plan the president signed into law Wednesday.
"It's another example of the administration's failure to treat global warming with the seriousness that it actually demands," the governor said at a news conference Thursday.
Bush on Thursday defended the decision of his EPA administrator.
"Is it more effective to let each state make a decision as to how to proceed in curbing greenhouse gases? Or is it more effective to have a national strategy?" he said.

Wall Street Firms are your friends?
It's now clear that some of the major players on Wall Street were making fortunes bundling junky subprime mortgage instruments and selling this garbage into the financial markets. The heads of some of the major brokerages and investment banks approved of this conduct and reaped the rewards when the market was hot -- i.e., when the market was fooled by what was being sold. -From Ben Stein's column in yahoo finance.
Doesn't this sound very similar to what these great empires of wealth and knowledge did to the little guy during the great stock market bubble? As I recall they pumped up stocks that were essentially worthless, and at the same time they were cashing in on the IPO market largely fueled by their recommendations on said stocks. Hmmmm. what is that old saying? Fool me once, shame on you.....we all know how it goes. now shame on us if we listened to them this last go-around. And shame on anyone who EVER LISTENS to these mega-brokerage and financial services firms again!!
Go to Schwab or Vanguard, open an account. Spend the next few weeks/months reading all you can about investing principles. start paying attention to the ebb-and-flow of the market. then start managing your money yourself.

1 year, 39 days...
At the recent Global Warming summit in Bali, Al Gore drew a loud ovation when he “reminded delegates that President George W. Bush has only one year and 40 days left in the White House.”
Counting down the days until the WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY is no longer our president.......too early to put the Champagne on ice?

Al Gore speaks...Does anyone listen?
Al Gore, after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, warned the world yet again.....
"We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency – a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here. But there is hopeful news as well: we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst – though not all – of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly.
However, despite a growing number of honorable exceptions, too many of the world’s leaders are still best described in the words Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler’s threat: “They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful to be impotent.”
Are we listening? Is he right? What if he is and we are not? Time will tell. I fear the worst here, knowing how none of our "great" political leaders of the world can think past today's political manneuvering or how to win the next election. How can we expect these people to guide policies and long term decisions?
Time will tell. For once I hope Al Gore is dead wrong.

Papa & His Son
It's true, the simple things in life are the best....Sitting on Dad's porch looking out at the mountains with my boy hanging with me.
Just chillin' together.
Why the Internet is great
A quarter ton… Think about that for a second. That is what Grand Rapids, MI native Nancy Makin lost over the course of 3 years. In 2001, Makin weighed over 700 pounds - largely the result of emotional eating brought on by divorce and loneliness. She spent 12 years in seclusion - only leaving her house about 10 times in that period. So how did she lose it... Surgery? Strict diet? Vigorous exercise?
A computer...
A gift from family, Nancy began to explore chat rooms and developed on-line friendships. Says Makin of the support:
"Faceless strangers helped save my life because the anonymity of the internet allowed me to connect to people who wouldn't out of hand reject me because of my appearance…It was beautiful, it was anonymous. I didn't have that barrier there. They saw my wit and they saw my intelligence and I was not in that shell."
If only we all could look past the surface and see real people. The internet allows this to some degree, and the fact that it can help people communicate like never before is a fantastic breakthrough.
