…but, something’s gotta give!  Another $700 billion dollar bail-out package? 

I know, lots and lots of people are blaming President Bush for the recent fall out on Wall Street and, the ongoing struggles of this great nation, but it isn’t one man’s fault!  Give me a break already… unfortunate, but true, we have been held hostage to this fucking Democratic controlled Congress for so long now, that we are now getting the effects!  A country as rich as ours doesn’t just go to the “shitter” over night, my friends!

“No one is to blame except the Democratic Congress that set up Fannie and Freddie and the Clinton Administration that pushed to lessen the requirements for loans. This helped those who could not afford a home by not requiring down payments, credit checks, credit history, or a work history. What do you expect? Now Shumer and others in Congress want us to bail out these people who can’t afford a house to begin with. I say launch a major investigation of how all this happened. The Democrats will run for shelter. It makes me sick to hear Dodd and Obama acting so righteous when they are up to this mess to their hairline.”

“Hopefully not this time, but eventually we’re going to have to experience a full-blown depression to force us into killing many of the “entitlements” that let people enjoy a middle class existence while hardly ever holding a job. For once I’d like to buy groceries without being in line behind a well-dressed customer who whips out that food-stamp card which means I’m helping buy his/her groceries along with mine. Now I find out that the Democrats pressured Fannie Mae to approve mortgage loans to people with bad credit, spotty work history and precious little income aside from their FREE housing voucher, FREE food stamps, FREE welfare check, FREE earned income tax credit (that’s a $4-6 thousand bonus for condescending to work a few months each year, etc.”

” In case you did not know, The President does not make banking regulations. That would be the job of Congress and in 2005, it was the Democrats.. You would know that it is Barney Frank and Cris Dodd who were in charge, but that story apparently will not hit the liberal press!  For those of you who do not know this: In 2005 Senator McCain tried to initate an investigation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because of irregularities in their financial dealing. The Democrats refused to even let it go to Congress for a vote! Mainly because they were getting campaign funds from both institutions. Barack Obama got the 2nd largest funds from them. These facts are well documented, but will not appear in the liberal press!”
Also, please remember that we have had a Democrat controlled Congress since 2006. President Bush does not make laws. Congress does. The Democrats have turned a blind eye to the coming crisis which many financial analysts have predicted. Mainly because many of these companies were putting money in the pockets of Congressmen.

Please research the facts before you put the majority of the blame on President Bush and the Republians. The Democratic Congress must shoulder most of the blame for the position we are in today.  I personally feel that every CEO and every person in Congress who took money from failing companies should be investigated and fined and perhaps even indicted just as the people at Enron and other companies were for financial fraud.”

And, the Democrats BETTER get off their dead asses and do something quick, or we are headed for the Greatest Depression… sad, but true!  What these CEO’s and CFO’s of these large corporations, banks and other lending institutions have been getting away with for so long HAS TO STOP!  These are OUR tax dollars bailing out these beaurocratic conglomerates and, the BIG BOYS are walking away with their pockets overflowing… in excess of $100 million in severance packages!  What the fuck?

TODAY, my friends, Congress has a BIG job to take care of!  What’s it going to be?  What’s it going to take to get our economy back on track?  If you think for one minute that a White House run by a Democrat (Obama), you are nuts!  We are a country that is already broke… trillions in debt, and the Democrats want MORE FREE PROGRAMS?  Socialized medicine?  Where in the hell do they think the money is going to come from when we are already BROKE? 

John McCain is back in D.C. to fulfill his obligation to the American people; having his voice be heard in Congress regarding the state of our economy… asked Obama’s camp to simply postpone the scheduled Friday night debate, as WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE, folks!  Obama says NO, the debate will go on!  I ask you, what is more fucking important right now?  Think about it…

Go ahead and blame Bush if you just don’t get it, but remember this…

IF YOU THINK IT IS BAD NOW, I PROMISE YOU, IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE IF OBAMA IS ELECTED AND STARTS TAKING MORE AND MORE OF OUR MONIES TO SUPPORT THE PROPOSED FEDERAL PROGRAMS HE IS YAPPING ABOUT!  I don’t know about y’all, but my pocketbook won’t stand for much more “give me, give me, give me!” 

Yeah, I am on  my soapbox, love it or not…

I could be writing about sports (wink)…  which, by the way, only 5 more days of regular season baseball and WE will emerge the winners in OUR league… oh, and there are only 8 more races in the NASCAR season and, YES… I am leading that, too!!  And, did you know the Americans won the Ryder Cup last week?  Tom Brady out for the season?  The Miami Dolphins defeat the Patriots, WTF?  Let’s see, what else….

Oh fuck, this isn’t a political or sports blog… sorry!

Now, let’s talk about SEX!!

Hope y’all are well, and I thank goodness I have SOME clients that truly GET WHAT IS GOING ON!!!

Peace…

I know, several days and no entry!  Sorry, I just haven’t been in the mood to write… anything!  Let alone a sexual or enticing story… just gotta be in the mood to do that, don’tcha know?

So anyway, over the past several days, I have done a few fun things, visited with my best friend who is on the road to recovery from surgery, visited with family members, watched some sports, did some work, cleaned house, went to the gym and, just stuff!  Tomorrow, I go for a much needed massage and to visit with someone about going into REHAB… (just kidding, of course!)

I am just in utter shock that Amy Winehouse’s song REHAB won Song of the Year last night at the Grammy’s!!!  I mean, she has a great bluesy sounding voice, but the song certainly didn’t deserve that award, or the three others it won… just my opinion!!  This chick is a trainwreck… alcoholic and crack addict…  I understand she has actually entered Rehab and I certainly wish her the best of luck.  I do believe people would take her a lot more seriously and give her more credit if she got off the drugs and alcohol.   I know I would!

Onto another note… how about that Bud ShootOut Saturday night?  Man oh man, what a race… and, of course, my very favorite Dale, Jr. WINNING!  I was sooooo happy for him I could hardly stand myself!  It was awesome seeing him back in Victory Lane after almost two  years….  I watched some of the Pro Bowl, but got bored with it….

And, I have really been enjoying watching Dance Wars, American Idol and Celebrity Apprentice!

In between all of the above, I have been taking calls here and there on Nite Flirt… sometimes it is funny how you go on “runs” with fantasies!  Kind of like in the medical field when we used to kid about a certain surgeon in my town… one week it was gallbladders, the next appendix… and, so on…  Well, as of late, cuckolding is the name of the game!  You want it, you got it!!

Just in case I don’t make it here tomorrow, I want to wish Will from Bottom’s Up (you can click on his link in my sidebar) a very Happy Birthday!  And, I hope you are feeling better!!  Have the best birthday ever, my friend!!    So Will, here’s to another year….

Today’s race in Homestead will be bittersweet, of sorts.  As those of you who read my sports entries know, I am a HUGE Dale, Jr. fan.  It’s kinda odd, too!  A few years ago, you would no more have heard me say, “Dale, Jr. is the cats meow”, than “Tony Stewart is a Saint.”

I never really cared for Dale, Sr., Dale Jr.’s father, until about 2 years before he was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500.  All of my friends, no exaggeration, were Dale, Sr. fans… and, I stuck by my “Ford boys”.  I put up with a lot of ridicule but, there were many a Sunday when I got to return the smack talk!  There was no sweeter revenge, trust me. 

It was an overnight transformation!  And, I will never forget my friends reactions when they heard me cheering for Dale, Sr. the first time.  A lot of comments were aimed at my “crossover” but, I was welcomed with open arms, and became an official ”Intimidator” supporter!  I must say that in all of my years spent around the sport, i.e. in the pits, garages, bumping elbows with the finest in the sport, wining and dining with owners and drivers and, knowing the “big wigs” of NASCAR… there were no more loyal supporters to a driver than the Dale, Sr. fans.   

I was in attendance the day Dale, Sr. hit the wall and killed.  It happened right in front of where we were sitting.  It was one of those gut wrenching moments… you just knew it wasn’t good.  NOBODY, I mean NOBODY in the grandstands moved from their positions… all eyes were on the track just this side of turn 4… I remember crying…and, I remember thousands of others crying right along with me.  Although they didn’t announce right away, like I said, you just knew that he was gone to meet his maker.  A very, very sad day.

Dale, Jr. was just “drying out behind the ears” so to speak.  He had won some big races and,  hell yeah, he had a ton of fans but, nothing like the vast sea of #3 clad fans.  But, the day his daddy died, that all changed.  All of the Dale, Sr. fans rallied behind their fallen driver’s son, not only lending their support at a most difficult time but, have been right there supporting him ever since.  You will still see fans today sporting their #3 shirts and hats but, you know their hearts and loyalty lie (or, is it lay? this one always screws me up!) with the Junior!!

Dale, Jr., the most popular driver in NASCAR…

Today, Jr.’s working relationship with DEI, Inc., which his father built and pioneered until his untimely death, will be over.  Bittersweet.  Unfortunately, he and his stepmother had some differences that they couldn’t resolve so, Jr. had to seek out bigger and better opportunities.  And, that he did.  He will be joining the Hendrick organization (and, there isn’t a nicer guy than Rick Hendrick) and driving the #88 AMP and National Guard sponsored car in 2008.

Rick is a powerhouse in NASCAR.  Knowing him personally, I can say that they don’t come any finer than Rick Hendrick.  He is a class act, and in a league his own.  Today, two of his drivers, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon

 will be battling it out in Homestead for the Nextel Championship Trophy! (The Nextel Trophy is as sought after as the Lyndee/ABC trophy.  Well, kinda sorta!)  Jimmie and Jeff are hard core drivers but, Rick is responsible for giving them the equipment to make it all happen.  There ain’t nothing that compares to a Hendrick engine in NASCAR…  Hendrick engines and drivers have dominated the 2007 season.

After today, the NEXTEL CUP goes as well… it is going to be called the SPRINT CUP starting next year…  Personally, I wish it was still THE WINSTON CUP!  I think I will always call it that.  Growing up, it was just always the WINSTON CUP! 

Anyway, as of tomorrow, Dale, Jr. is officially an employee of the Hendrick organization!  I couldn’t be happier for Jr.  I KNOW he has what it takes to be a champion in the sport, just like his daddy was.  But, I will say… I will miss seeing Jr. in the Budweiser sponsored car… they went together like eggs and ham, ya know what I mean?

Today will, without a doubt, be a very emotional day for Jr.  Not only leaving behind the company his father had built for himself and his family but, all of the personnel that have helped to get him to where and what he is today in the sport of NASCAR.  And, the end of an awesome relationship with Budweiser… You wouldn’t believe the increase in profits over the past few years that Budweiser attributes to Jr.  Astounding.  And, we the fans are sure going to miss Jr. climbing from the #8… 

 I’m giving up the BUD and going with the AMP!!  Best of luck to ya, Jr.  Go gettem!! 

 And, two icons retire after today’s race, one a car owner and the other a driver!  Happy Retirement to Robert Yates… a helluva nice guy and great team owner and businessman!  Thanks Robert, for the passing of the #88 for Dale, Jr.  (proof that he is a very giving man!)  And, so long to Ricky Rudd… a career that spans more than 30 years.  Ricky didn’t miss a race from 1981-2005… how many of you can say you didn’t miss a day of work in 24 years?  WOW!!!  The only driver with more career starts than Ricky was Richard Petty.  Thanks for the memories, Ricky!!!  You will always be the “Tide Man” to me!

IS IT FEBRUARY YET? 

Thanks for hangin’ with me… I know it was rough!!!  Have a great Sunday….

L-

This is kind of a sad post for me in a way!  You all know how I love my NASCAR… well, today is the final race of the season.  But, I guess February isn’t really that far away… still, I always looked forward to Sundays and the stock car boys battling it out on the ovals, tri-ovals, cookie cutters, road courses and, what’s the name of that other type of track?  Anyway, time to say so long to the “motor heads” for awhile!  And, I will miss it for other reasons as well…

Unfortunate for me, it looks as though ABC is going to be the recipient of the coveted trophy… I must say, it was a lot of fun battling it out with him week after week… we are both pretty competitive people, so it made for a lot of fun!  Anyway, our final picks of the season are as follows:

Lyndee:  Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Mark Martin and Dale, Jr.  I know, Dale has had a terrible year, and I am not so sure that his wicked stepmother didn’t actually arrange for the sabbatoge.  Seems very strange that he has had so many DNF’s this year…very fishy!!!  But, I have stayed very loyal to both he and Mark Martin, so had to take them both, in this, the final race of 2007!!

ABC:  Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Jeff Burton and Martin Truex, Jr.  ABC has remained very loyal to Mr Pink Panties Gordon as well.  And, Kurt Busch, the pussy boy, has always topped his list, too!!  Funny how we would come up with silly nicknames for our guys… each of us trying to outwit the other!

All of ABC’s drivers would pretty much have to finish in the bottom 6 spots in order for me to have a chance at winning… and, as much as I like to be the “glass half full” type of girl, I just don’t see that happening.  There is too much at stake in this last race.  In any event, I will wait to congratulate the winner until tomorrow evening!!

Our Seminoles beat Maryland today, and that is a very good thing!  We got a HUGE game next week with our intrastate rival, the GAYTORS!  They have lost three games this year, so no repeat Championship for them…YAY!!  But, how we would love to have the bragging rights… so, unless you’re a GAYTOR fan, please join us in cheering on the ‘Noles next week!!  Thanks!!

Looks like OSU is going to the Rose Bowl… Texas Tech upsets #4 Oklahoma… I believe LSU should stay in the #1 slot this week… I am okay with that… I have a relative that goes there!!

Anyway, am going to wrap up this sports edition… with a tribute to my true sporting love…NASCAR!!!!

And,here’s hoping that Jimmie Johnson walks away with his second consecutive championship….

And to those that helped to bring the sport to what it is today…. not forgetting the loss of the son of the founder of NASCAR, Bill France, Jr. this season, in addition to two drivers, Benny Parsons and Bobby Hamilton..  may you all RIP.

Nice try “DUMBocrat” Congressman from Mississippi… unbelievable!!  And, people wonder why I am such a huge supporter of the Republican Party?  Stupid shit like this…

I’d be more afraid of contracting some weird ass disease at the Democratic National Convention… EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

And, from the group that brought us “LIPS OF AN ANGEL”, which will ALWAYS hold a very special place in my heart…

Peace, I am out for the night!

L-

WOW…I cannot believe there are just two races left this season!  It has been a helluva season, not only on the track but, off!!  My weekly NASCAR DUEL with ABC has been a blast and I think now… well, maybe he takes me a little more seriously when it comes to a chick from the south knowing about auto racing!  Amongst other things… he has been kinda MIA the past few weeks on my blog but, I promise you, he HAS NOT failed at providing his picks for each race!  Anyway, before going onto other sporting news of interest (to at least myself and a handful of others), here are the picks for this weeks race in the ‘ZONA desert!!

Lyndee:  Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Dale, Jr.

ABC:  Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle

We are tied up at 17, so today’s race is crucial for each of us… and, the winner of the trophy *yes, there really is one* is going to go down to the final race!  WOW, brings a whole new meaning to “The Chase”!  But, it will be mine permanently after next week… LOL!!!

Now, to last night’s FSU vs VT game… what a brawl?  I have never seen so many players injured during one game in my life!!!  What a slug fest… FSU gave it every ounce of energy and courage they had but, in the end, VT won the game!  The third quarter looked as though we might stand a chance but, VT came back like… well, f’ing wildfire!!  Anyway, bummed that my ‘Noles lost….

Be back to finish …..

WELL, lost THE DUEL today by 27 points!  What a heartbreaker…8 last week and 27 this week… so, it is now 18-17, with ABC taking the lead…Congrats, ABC!!!

I did, however, finish first in my fantasy NASCAR league today!  Woo Hoo!!!

To say that Peyton Manning is having a crappy night is an understatement!  5 interceptions as of now, and there is 5 minutes to go in the 3rd… so, not looking very good for our fantasy football league tonight!!

Anyway, I hope ya’ll have had a great weekend… and, I’ll be back soon!!!

L-

Finally… the day I am allowed to talk about SPORTS!!!

FIRST OFF… how about OUR ‘NOLES beating Boston College?  Yippppeeee… yes, I am a “Beantown” fan, and am very proud of the Red Sox winning the Series but, when it comes to the ‘Noles playing the Eagles of BC, it is ALL ABOUT THE ‘NOLES!!!  WOW, what a game?

Speaking of games… how about Navy beating Notre Lame, I mean Dame, in triple OT today?  GO NAVY!!!!

And, how about tomorrow’s BIG matchup?  The Colts vs The Pats!  Oh boy… Peyton vs. Tom… gotta go with The Colts.  Afterall, Peyton is our QB in fantasy football…

Then, of course, we have THE DUEL…  yi, yi, yi!!  Picks will be forthcoming….but, I can assure you, I will emerge the victor!  The NASCAR officials will see to it after the DIRTY trick was DEALT to me on pick #6… again, SHAME ON YOU!!!

Okay, off to the snuggler… very SLEEPY and I gotta BIG DAY ahead of me tomorrow!!!

Have a good one…

L-

YAY, today is the day I am officially allowed to talk SPORTS!!!  WOW, what a weekend?

For STARTERS, The Georgia DAWGS beat the Florida GAYTORS, the happiest SPORTS moment of my weekend!! 

Secondly, the SEMINOLES won last night but, not very convincingly… in fact, from what I hear, they looked awful!  We gotta tough SCHEDULE coming up, SO am hoping things turn around…

Thirdly, the RED SOX take a 3-0 lead against the Rockies in The World SERIES!!  YAY… I do hope to SEE the Rockies win tonight, SO that the Red Sox pitcher, Beckett, can get the win for the SOX.

Doing good in fantasy football, thanks to the COACH!!!  Got a close one today but, WE can do it!!

And, in about 30 minutes we have the START of the NASCAR CHALLENGE in Hampton, GA.  In case you forgot, or even care, I am leading ABC 17-15!!  I want it bad today… I want that #18… but, ABC is under the impression he is going to STEAL at least the next three and we will go to a tiebreaker…. hmmmm, we SHALL SEE!!!

SO, without further delay, here are the picks today for the DUEL….

Lyndee…  Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Mark Martin and Tony STEWART

ABC… Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr., Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne

It is going to be a SHOOTOUT… the coveted trophy is on the line… I think I know where it is going to reside…LOL!!!

Anyway, have a great SUNDAY… and I’ll talk to ya SOON!!!!

L-

 

*POST RACE and FOOTBALL*

Well, ABC gets his wish!  He wins today, so we are now at 17-16.  It was a CARNAGE filled race…

And, the Jags win…YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!  It came down to the last minute but, they prevail!

And, our Fantasy Football isn’t looking too good for this week…. BOOOOOOO!!!!

Okay, waiting for the BOSOX and ROCKIES…

Hope ya’ll are having a great night!!
