L.S.U and 'Bama

     We need a playoff. That way, no one could complain when the two best teams in the S.E.C played for the national title. I hate 'Bama, by the way.

Grim Gators

After getting trashed by 'Bama and L.S.U., the Gators took a giant step
back against Auburn. Last years offensive woes have not been fixed. It
isn't too late to have an ok year, but I don't think they are deep
enough to pull it off.

The Florida Gators 2011

The Gators are playing with purpose this year. They look worlds apart from last years crummy offense. They play 'Bama this week and L.S.U the next. We'll see if this is an illusion. Go Gators!

Gators

I'm predicting the Gators will go 10-2. It's not that I expect them to,
I'm hoping though. L.S.U. needed luck to beat them last year when the
Gators stunk. If 'Bama beats them by 30 I'll know I'm wrong. Then I'll
settle for 8-5.

What the Fed should do

The Fed has promised to keep interest rates at zero. Savings are not really savings when inflation is above zero. You're supposed to trust your money to the market. Of course the market is worth zero and the market should be regulated by the gaming commissions which protect gamblers from making any money.

Anyway, the Fed should raise raise interest rates so that savers could get 5 or 6 percent interest on savings. That won't happen until that rate of return won't do savers any good. Some of us remember when simple savings accounts paid 5 percent. That isn't enough to put anyone over the top, anyone who isn't already over the top, But it would give people an option to stay out of the market and cause a little grief to their brokers. That's a good thing.

Honest interest rates to savers would would really annoy a lot of people. It wouldn't annoy honest people, just bankers, brokers, traders and traitors. That's at least okay.

Time is not running out

Have no fear. Congress will come to our rescue and raise the debt ceiling. It won't do most Americans any good. More than likely, it will do harm. I'm sure the bankers will like it. They're just worried that some day they'll have to accept the losses from the half-crashed housing market. And from the next half yet to come. Really though, I have no doubt that Congress will cut Social Security and Medicare as much as necessary to keep them whole. Congress is very attentive to its' real constituents.

Real Reality TV

I spend a lot of time watching reality TV. It's called sports. I
happen to be a Gator fan. I hate to think of how much time I've spent
watching and listening to Gator sports of all sorts. Recently, the Gator
softball team reached the NCAA tournament finals. They may have choked.
But they did get burned. The Gator baseball team made the finals as
well. They certainly did choke. On the chickens from South Carolina, but
to be fair, they are a game little flock.The Lady Gator tennis team
didn't choke. Lauren Embree rallied from 4-0 in the final set to win the
National Championship. Tony McQuay, the Gator's sophomore 400 meter
runner, didn't choke either. He won the U.S national title and now moves
on to the World Championships. Congratulations. And Go Gators!
