If I only had one bullet left ... it would be a sleepless night deciding where it would fly.

I have 3 options for my bullet. Maybe I could line up the 3 head to head and try to get my bullet to pass through them all.

Option One -- high school recruiting guru. I can't believe how many people make a living scouting high school sports, coming up with absolutely ridiculous scouting grades and reports and turning these kids into media circuses when most of them won't pan out or be worth my spit at the next level. By the way Manti Te'o, good luck being 'different' at Notre Dame. Seriously, what is the criteria for these scouting grades and what is the difference between a 5 star recruit out of Northern Montana and a 3 star guy out of East LA. During my glorious high school career in soccer, I looked pretty good playing Ganeesha (a tiny school out of Pomona, CA) and pretty terrible playing Alta Loma (a school with real athletes).

Option Two -- Any CEO who took TARP money (bailout gov't money). I could fool Ashton with a free handout, she knows that she isn't going to be held to any strings that may come with a free cookie. But if I offer a cookie to Daniel, Nathan, or Craig for no apparent reason they are going to be suspicious. Am I being nice because there is something not nice coming around the corner!? Probably.

Option Three -- Obama. I knew it would be bad, but DAMN ... it's like knowing the needle is going to hurt, and that still doesn't prepare you for the actual pain.

I lost sleep thinking about this. I finally would have to go with the recruiting guru/reporters. Those losers contribute nothing worthwhile to the world. The CEOs who took gov't money and Obama deserve each other. Now Obama is going to tell these CEOs what they can pay executives. HAHAHAHA ... in his world (and I mean Satan's world) there are NO FREEBIES. Obama and the CEOs are going to dance, and unfortunately freedom is going to be the wallflower without a partner.

  1. Oh...that's poetic. the wall flower thing. I agree. It sounds like the "bail out" is more like the government buying the nation. What sucks is that they really are going to own all these pieces of corporations and then we'll be suffering.

  3. OK, Andrea totally made me laugh. That is exactly what the title sounds like to mothers. Especially since with have 3 boys who often Dave's description would fit. "I have 3 options for my bullet. Maybe I could line up the 3 head to head and try to get the bullet to pass through them all." hahahaha Sounds like a parenting problem to me.
