My Parents: Buyers of Toys

Normally, I would post a video of inspiration on the evening before a game but I thought I would take this opportunity to do something a little different. Although, I am happy to report that we are riding a two game win streak! Can you believe it?!

As insomnia is taking its course tonight, I can remember having conversations recently with my friends about how kid's today have the best toys with computers and the internet. Much of the time, we envy the kid's of today because of this but we always look back on our young years as the good ole days of Sega Genesis and Boom Boxes.

The video that I have posted is dedicated to the things that made those childhood years great: my toys. Also, it is dedicated to the people who bought me most of those toys: my parents.

I even remember one time that my dad was in such a hurry to get us down to Toys 'R' Us in Indianapolis that he got pulled over. Thank you guys! This commercial is for you!

Without a Map or a Flashlight

Today, President George W. Bush warned the incoming Democrat-controlled Congress about spending.

In his opinion piece that he submitted to the Wall Street Journal, "Bush warned that the Democrat-controlled Congress risks stalemate if it resorts to 'politics as usual' and tries to 'pass bills that are simply political statements.'"

I find this to be quite interesting that the President is talking about spending when he has turned the country's biggest government surplus into the biggest deficit within the last 6 years.

Moreover, it is equally shocking that our President would even think about talking about legislative stalemates when he has tried to divide Americans on the core issues that we all care about - faith, family, and the future.

It is up to all of us as Democrats, Republicans, and Americans to get this country back on the right track. Only we will be able to improve this country because our chief executive is still wandering aimlessly through the woods without a map or a flashlight.
