From ESPN.com:
So many jokes...
While the team may show some improvement initially, it will be short lived as the Rams will prove to be very predictable running all plays to the extreme right
$929 million? That could sure buy a lot of Oxycodone
Those who root for the Rams to fail will be labelled 'un-American'
Rush's strategy to turn the Rams into a winner? Fielding 14 to 16 players at a time in what he refers to as a 'surge'
Fourteen game losing streak? No wonder Rush wants to buy them. It will be no different than supporting the Republican Party
$929 million? That could sure buy a lot of Viagra
Won't have to worry about that Donovan McNabb wanting to play for team

Limbaugh in Bid to Buy Rams
ST. LOUIS -- The lowly Rams have someone who loves them.
Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFL's longest current losing streak at 14 and just 5-31 since 2007.
Forbes magazine has estimated the Rams franchise has a value of $929 million.

My only regret is not getting to do a "Pull My Finger" with her. Here's hoping she somehow manages to stay in the public eye.

Why I'm Not Doing This Anymore
I suppose that after three months of not posting it's silly to try to explain my lack of activity. But as I sit here typing with one hand, I can assure you that I have a valid reason for the inactivity.
On the fourth of July 2006 while walking to watch fireworks, I fell flat on my face and broke my nose. I never really felt right after that and saw a doctor a month later. That led to an appointment with a neurologist which, in turn, led to an MRI and a spinal tap. And, finally in September of that year I got a diagnosis. Multiple Sclerosis.
You'd be surprised how little something like that affected me. My life didn't change much. I went to work every day, I got involved with a neighbor (which had more of a negative effect on me than any degenerative neurological disease ever could) and I stuck a needle in my body every other day.
Lost my job in November of 2007 for complaining about getting incorrect insurance information from my employer but quickly found a better paying job. By this time I was walking with a cane. I still got around pretty well, though, and life was pretty good.
Things started to get worse in the summer of 2008. Walking became more difficult and I lost more and more use of my right hand. I continued to work and do everything that my life required, though.
But things kept getting harder. I was forced to start giving things up. Four months ago it was the guitar, which hurt like I could never express. Three months ago it was blogging. One month ago it was work.
I would still do this, I have the time, but the right hand just doesn't work. I can't handle a mouse well enough to effectively screw with photos. I've tried, occasionally I'll have an idea, but I just don't have the dexterity to pull it off.
So after nearly four years, I'm done with this. I want to thank all of the folks who dropped by, the talented bloggers who linked to this little Bizzaro World, the people who wrote nice things about the goofiness that played out here. While I only did this to make myself giggle, the fact that some people actually enjoyed this site warms my heart.
Thank You

With apologies to Bishop Fulton Sheen:
BOJ
A financial journalist thought it would interesting to talk to some lenders about their thoughts on offering sub-prime mortgages to thousands of prospective homeowners.
"I'm doing a great service," the first replied, "I'm getting people into homes. I work with them to get them loans, so they can buy homes they couldn't otherwise afford."
"I'm securing lots of loans," the second replied, "I'm making lots of money for my employer and in turn I am earning huge bonuses by moving so much paper."
The third pondered a moment before answering.
"I'm ruining an economy!"
Maybe your job is menial. Maybe you think what you do in your everyday life doesn't matter. Try to see the bigger picture, to realize that you are part of something bigger than yourself.
