Now I am a converted democrat for starters. Even as much as I have switched parties , but I don't have to follow blindly all that the Dem's have put out there. In fact, that is the beauty of freedom of thoughts and speech. With the demise of the Republicans by Bush and his clan , Prez Obama has picked the country up and has put a very positive stamp on what we are doing... but ... I don't think a National Health Plan will work! First of all, the task is overwhelming...we are recovering from a recession and the $ needed is not there to implement any such thing. There is no clear cut idea in the works, that the governing parties can agree upon...it will take again...too much money to even get to a possible plan... If you can use Canada as a guide post, who actually has a NHP, it is a mess...in fact, if needed care is NEEDED , the Canadians come running across the border to get their NEED ... Welfare. ..with so many people out of jobs, the thought of devising a NHP...

So when you talk stock market, you ask if we've hit the bottom...when you talk housing market, you ask if we've hit the bottom...when you talk Padres , you ask if we've hit the bottom...The Pads score less than 2 runs a game, the pitchers give up far more than that, we bottom feed to come up with new players, Kooz whiffs 4 times in a game, Kooz hits into two double plays when he does finally hit the ball, AGonzo wants to test the market, and on and on...this actually may not be the bottom...how does Kevin Towers keep his job? Played in San Clemente today and it was absolutely gorgeous! Back to Del Mar on Saturday... If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a ... By whom ?

It's finally here! Opening day at Del Mar ...leading jockey may be Joel Rosario , fresh off a great run at Hollywood. ..going out with the men and it shall be a great day! Take 57, the Pads score only 2 and lose...now AGonzo wants to be traded... Seriously, can a National Health Plan work here in the US ? Is the Guhvenor taking a pay cut equal to what the terminator is doing to others? Erin Andrews must have some great friend... I recorded Big Brother last night, don't tell me what happened... We ate Thai last night and I ran out of the restaurant, with severe negative reactions...some say it's what you order...if so, we missed again... Remember Jackson Browne ? He's at Humphrey's this week... Meeting my son for golf south of LA tomorrow... I saw someone in my group yesterday with an interesting way of scoring (not me)...tee ball in the creek, hit a 2nd, in the creek, "I'm just hitting another", ball out of creek, blader to the right, popp...

The new hope of SDS football is Brady Hoke ...they begin with UCLA and what a challenge....you think about how the huge $ affect what goes on...if you win...you make money and life is grand... Coach Hoke left a cushy job at Ball St. to gamble his rep. and money here in SD ...good luck! The Orygun Ducks have a new coach and Mike Bellotti takes over the AD's role...they should be good... Take 65...the Padres score 2 runs...and lose again... Del Mar starts tomorrow and I can hardly wait! Why do NFL QB's excel at golf? You have to call Gov. Swartz ...the terminator of all programs in the state ... The Phillies are running away with the NL East...think it has anything to do with the cracker box stadium they are in? Off to the links ...

What could have happened, didn't...an eight footer for the crown...that missed ...and Tom Watson had to battle Stu Cink for the British in OT...no match , no pop left for the 59 yr. old...and Cink wins his first major !... Watson , coming off a hip replacement was splendid and made for great show...even without Tiger !!! Why are we meddling in Afghanistan ? I ask over and over, why are we not talking about the stock market anymore? The Pads trade Meredith ...actually a good deal for the locals... Matos strong in 4, with 4 K's... If you buy a Mazda this month you put $0 down... Love my MacBook ... Strongly recommend the book, "Prairie Tales" by Melissa Gilbert, if you like star trash... It's all about the money , Paula Abdul... Frank McCourt passed away..."Angel's Ashes" Tragedy in the Madonna stage collapse... Nelson Mandela is 91... Paul McCartney rocked the new Mets Stadium this past weekend... Del Mar on Wednesday... Make it a ...

It was the Adam Lambert show... Allison put on a fantastic set and it was all you wanted. In fact their duo of " Slow Ride " was the best of the night. I just can't believe Chris won...at least he didn't have to sing that awful winning song... Tom Watson ...has a few holes to win the British ...high drama as Stu Cink and Lee Westwood have put the pressure on...real cool stuff... The Padres get a win last night and start a 21 yr. old today in one Matt Latos ...here's hoping he's the saviour... DelMar starts on Wednesday! I am hoping for Thursday...for sure Saturday...
