Conference Championship Football, Good-Bye Gino El Camino and Fast Eddie

I am absolutely ready for some Conference Championship football. Being a Steelers fan, I'm excited for Sunday to get here. There's quite a bit of excitement in our houshold. My better half is a Packers fan; so there's still hope of a Steelers-Packers SB in Dallas. It was GREAT to see the Steelers slap the snot out of the "Raisins" last week. It was even better to see Ray Lewis in a post-game interview near tears after their second-half meltdown. I'm certain Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar would've enjoyed seeing the Webster-looking Lewis next to tears.

    I'm liking the Steelers chances against the Jets. I'm loving how the media "experts" are making such a big deal out of the Jets beating Manning and Brady in back-to-back games. They seem to forget Big Ben guided his team to 2 Super Bowl victories. And as happy as I am to see the Steelers - once again - succeeding in the playoffs, I will say this: I would not have lost a lick of sleep if he had done jail time or if the team sh*t-canned him after what he did to that gal in Georgia.

    I also wish to say good-bye to a dear friend: you are already sorely missed, Gino. I'm a better person for having the oppurtunity to know you. Those in this world who did not know you missed out severely. Save me a seat in Heaven. God Bless Ya!

    Good-bye and good stinkin' riddance to Slick Eddie Rendell. This morning's local newscasts reported on yesterday's innauguration party for PA's new governor, Tom Corbett. The newscast pointed out - I suppose what they considered to be - highlights of Rendell's eight-year reign. The three they mentioned were:

1. Him being instrumental in bringing casinos to PA

2. Him being instrumental in certain grocery outlets being allowed to sell wine on Sundays.

3. Him being instrumental in banning smoking in restaurants.

    Many residents are still waiting to see the reduced property taxes he promised would happen once $$ started flowing in from the casinos. The state controls all liquor sales, so the wine on Sunday was just a revenue-raising scheme on his part. Revenue that has not been used wisely, IMHO. And banning smoking? A highlight? A major accomplishment? PUH-LEASE. No mention of how the yearly budget was always a trainwreck. Just another scumbag politician who figured out how to get fat off the taxpayer. No wonder Nobama gave him serious consideration for a cabinet position.

    Enough venting for now. Be Blessed. Semper Fidelis! Bubber out.
