Today is the Day...

Today we will see if Notre Dame is in the National Championship Game or not.  To me, I am still in a phase of amazement.  At the beginning of the season, I predicted a 8-4 season.  Not one part of me even thought of National Championship. 

Consider this.  At the beginning of the season USC was ranked #1.  Michigan State and Oklahoma was ranked in the Top Ten.  Michigan was ranked in the top 15.  Notre Dame was not even ranked.  AT ALL!  Amazing...simply amazing.

Indiana University and Notre Dame

This to me is absolutely amazing.  I can not remember the last time that I have ever witnessed this in my lifetime (and it was actually 1993, my graduation year).  Is this a sign of the apocalypse?  We will see.  But for now folks, this is like heaven!

Notre Dame #1

Yep thats right.  See it, believe it and eat it.  Too all SEC fans, you can eat the peanuts out of my sheeaat!

Football and Concussions

Something has got to give with these concussions in the NFL.  How in the world is it that we have developed some of the most technological equipment known to man but we can not come up with a football helmet that will either limit or prevent concussions. 

NASCAR has made leaps and bounds since the passing of Earnhardt Sr. but football has not made any progress within the last few years.  Something needs to be done.

Another General...

Another General under investigation and attack from our Government.  Oh, and I just heard a update on the soldier that murdered those innocent Afghans a few months ago.  Why does all this seem like someone is trying to discredit our military?  Answers, I hope, will come.

And the Bull continues...

Anyone paying attention to this deal with the CIA director who recently resigned?  Well, apparently he was having an affair and the FBI knew about it.  In turn he resigned.  But that's not the whole story.

The director was supposed to testify to Congress really soon on the Libya incident.  But wait, now it gets pushed back because of this scandal.  So does anyone think this is really weird except me?  The administration blamed the whole Libya deal on intelligence and was trying to pass the "buck" onto the CIA the entire time. 

Oh, and the FBI knew about the affair back in September and even told the Obama administration about it then.  So after the election, Mr. Petraus resigns.  How convenient.

Veterans Day

On this Veterans Day, please go out of your way to thank a Veteran that you know.  They gave all so some didn't. 

Election results

I'm very, very upset.  I'm convinced that my fellow Americans are just plain stupid and don't get it.  Things are going to get worse and when they do, these idiots will be whining about it.  Well, you had your chance but free stuff from the government was more important to you.  Good luck

Today is the DAY!

Please vote, but beware...don't vote for the biggest liar, just the one that doesn't lie as much!

Town of Chesterton

I visited the Town of Chesterton yesterday.  Very impressed.  They have a number of festivals during the year in the town, numerous parades in the town (including a Christmas Parade at night), various art festivals, a European Market every Saturday in the summer and many other activities that I can't even remember.

This is what every small town should strive to be.  My experience in small town doings is everyone has an idea, but no one acts on it.  Or, someone has an idea, but it doesn't fit another one's ideas and it gets shut down (Vickie Kitchen Town Clerk of North Liberty is infamous for this). 

Their downtown still has local business's and are somewhat supported by the town's citizens.  If one ever gets the chance to visit, do so and mingle with some of the towns people.
