NFL VS. Team Owners

In a court ruling made recently the NFL is not considered as one single business but as 32 different NFL teams that can just make their own decisions instead of the league regulating them.
The Supreme Court made a really good choice about this because now Roger Goodell doesn't have power over everything like it seems like he has been. He's not the reason the NFL is making money. It's mainly the players and then the team coaches and owners who are smart enough to pick up those players. The Atlanta Falcon franchise can agree with me that if it was a team option instead of a league option, Michael Vick would still be the QB there and the franchise would sell much more merchandise.

Lindsay Lohan Dodges Parole Meetings.

Lindsay Lohan, whos been a success since her childhood has yet again caused a problem because of not getting proper rehab for her drug and alcohol abuse. She skipped her parole meeting because she went to Europe and did some heavy drinking.
How dumb can Lindsay get?! She is given chance after chance to clean up her act and become a good member of society. So what does she do for the society in return. She endangers the society and causes herself great bodily harm. What kind of person would do that with all the chances she's given. She should be in jail right now because otherwise she's going to end up on a street dying and eventually found in a gutter.

Washington Redskins Show Interest In Westbrook

The Washington Redskins are starting to scout free agent running-back Brian Westbrook. They have shown serious interest in him after he left the Philadelphia Eagles.
I don't think Washington needs Westbrook. They have Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, and Willie Parker who, anyone of those three could start on many teams in the NFL. It's a waste of time to look for a fourth running back in the mix because 2 is enough. 3 is wasting talent and 4 is just wasting twice the talent. I hope Westbrook goes to a team that will actually use him because otherwise his career is basically done.

How things are unequal




The saying, "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" holds alot more truth than the goverment wants to believe it does. Seriously, our taxation system favors those with a higher income. When the goverment collects taxes it takes only a small percent of what the rich make but a high percent of what the poor make. Some argue that the rich still pay the most money in taxes if you look at the ammount alone sent to the goverment. That is true but why do you think that is? It's because the money they send is nothing to them. They can afford that and laugh at those who cant. The gap between the wealthiest citizens and the poor is increasing to fast and things should start to even out sooner.



Our taxation system needs to be changed because the same people are having all the success every year and its like the poor doesn't even have a chance at recovery. There is a strong political movement across the nation known as Fairtax and it says that the taxation system should just be eliminated all together and everyone can take home their gross pay. I believe this is a great idea and I have thought of that for a long time now but now there's finally people who agree with me.

New Mailing Plans.

There is a new plan for the postal service in America to decrease the national debt. Mailing is going to cut saturday from it's mailing days. They think itll save about $340 million dollars.
I think this is a good idea. But it does have one problem that could be major in my opinion. If you cut saturday then you cut more jobs for people who deliver on the weekend. I do like it however, because Saturday isn't really a good day for mail anyway. People don't get that much mail on Saturdays and they don't send that much on Saturdays. I think the postal service industry would make alot more profits without Saturday on the list for days to mail.
Joe Bidens slip up of, "It's a big f****** deal" to Obamas healthcare form is now goin to be printed on a shirt to celebrate the new healthcare bill. Anyone who donates at least $25 is going to get a shirt with the slogan "Health reform is a BFD".
I dont think you need a shirt to show opinion about the healthcare reform bill. And it promotes a little bit of bad language which isn't something the real young children should be knowing. Yeah, healthcare is a major deal but why would you put a slip of the tongue onto a shirt. It's not really a smart idea in my opinion.

Losing Jobs

In the past month America has lost over 67,000 jobs across the country. Unemployment rates are increasing and now president Obamas newest priority is to increase the job rate in the country.
This rate that America is losing jobs at is making me really nervous about finding a job after im done with college. I just got done goin through a two and a half month period with a drastic cut in hours at my part time job. I went from a usual thirty hours a week to being scheduled about twenty hours but to make up for that then id just stay later on almost all my shifts. I want to be able to find a job after college so im hoping president Obama figures things out soon about how to start providing new jobs again.
