I agree with all your comments. My wife works for the county (and has the day off!) and I always tease her about being a socialist. Believe me, she's not! So that was just smarmy jesting on my part.
HOWEVER, I looked out my kitchen window this morning as the blizzard raged and there goes my neighbor who owns the local bottled water franchise, and there goes my plumber friend who owns his own business, and here I go (have my own small CPA firm) and it struck me that if we don't go to work, we don't get paid. Meanwhile, the Unviersity staff will sit home and write letters to the editor full of left-wing BS. So, the capitalists who fund the whole g-damn affair go off to bust their asses while the ones who live off the tax dollars sit home. So, maybe the analogy isn't so far off.
Forgive me for being cranky. Just gonna be one of those days. And you're right about the coaching and the officiating. I will never say that poor officiating cost us the game but there sure were some cheap shots on Favre that shoulda been called. My wife commented that it appeared that a major Saints strategy was to get Favre knocked out of the game. Brett has all my admiration for staying in after being beat up like that. What a stud.
Maybe I will go buy that AR-15 I've been talking about. I did clear it with the wife this weekend so that's something.
