As I am posting rather late, I hope it was a good one for all of you, and I hope my Jewish readers had a happy Chanakuh (i can never spell it right). For me, this has been a holiday season to look back at not only the past year, but the past few years, so to those who have helped me along the way, I thank you, and for those i have hurt, I ask for your forgiveness.
Happy Holidays and hopefully a great and perhaps eventful New Year!

Back Again
Yeah, I know more of you want me to post more often, and I'd love to, but we don't have a lot going on right now - The Yankees big trade hasn't happened yet, The Giants still haven't won since, like October, There is no hockey, and nothing terribly interesting going on in politics. As for the "lighter side of life" - I saw snow last night. Good times.
I think this will be my last post leading up to the Holiday, so Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

A date that shall live in infamy...
I normally don't do this, but being a bit of a WWII buff... take a step back today, as you would on September 11th, and be thankful for the sacrifices of the many who got us through WWII, because without them, certainly none of us would be here.
Other news to catch up on since last week...
Giambi took steroids, so did Barry Bonds. I'm not surprised - I didn't even flinch. they went from my size to gargantuan in just a few years - nothing normal. Void his contract, pay him off, I don't care - Giambi's presence on the field, like that of Barry Bonds, detracts from the game of baseball - if I can't get them out entirely, then at least get Giambi off my team.
Yankee notes - good move, dumping Heredia on the Mets for Stanton (a proven Yank) and dumping the useless Kenny Lofton for relief pitching - I know Lofton still has moves, but the man just had no place on our team - good luck, Philly.
Giants notes - CATCH THE DAMN BALL! Yes, I mean you, Amani Toomer, and you, Ike Hilliard, and yes, even you, Jeremy Shockey. The Kid (Eli) is just a rookie - you think he's going to gain any confidence if you keep dropping the damn ball? Play like a team, once in your life, please.
Politics - Good for you, Eliot Spitzer - You've got my vote - now go convince the rest of NY that you can turn your focus to Albany instead of Wall St. I can help you, if you want. Call me.
Also, Kudos to Harry Reid, the new Dem Senate leader - fillibuster whatever you have to until we get intel reform - you ARE on the right side of this one.
Congrats, reader Jen L - not everyone gets a quote in an AP article - I'd link it, but I closed the window by accident... add it in as a comment if you'd like.
Not much else to discuss - am teaching myself Dreamweaver - wish me luck!

Random Wednesday Thoughts
Tom Ridge steps down - does he run for office in the future? Is he the nominee to succeed Bush in 2008? Could he make PA red? Who takes over at DHS? I like Asa Hutchinson (Having met him), but don't rule out good ole George Elmer Pataki.
Which brings me to my next topic - NY... The center of the 2006 political universe? scoff if you must, but I think it's likely, with both a big name Gov. and Senate race. If Pataki goes to DC, who runs for his spot? Name an influential NYS republican - I bet you their name is on the list.
Baseball - Steinbrenner - DON'T DO IT. A 28 yr old Javier Vazquez is better than a 39 yr old Randy Johnson. Always. Get rid of Kevin Brown, keep the young guys - we need them. Not many Young guys left.
I'd Kill for some snow. I'm just in the mood.
That's all for today. Back with more another day.
