Thanksgiving and back the work.

Happy Thanksgiving.

You know what that means, for the next month, CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS.

I loved the old films about Christmas.

You know Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and best of all,  Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.

Patriots vs Colts: Game on! and Prediction

A quick clip of thanksgiving before the blood is shed.



The Indianapolis Colts are coming the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to face the New England Patriots. An interesting article written by one of my high school friends gives some more of the history of this rivalry and why it matters so much to the AFC.

I only care for a good entertaining game...and for my fantasy players to kick some ass while that is happening.

Prediction:
Patriots: 31
Colts: 24

The Patriots have a must win coming done the homeward stretch to the playoffs. The Jets are right on their tail with easier games in front of them.  The Jets just might win the division this year.

For the Colts, they have just not been as explosive this year as they have in the past.  The ways of Tony Dungy has now faded.  They need to be revived in order to compete once more before Peyton retires in the next five years.

The Pats do win it as if it was against the Buffalo Bills.

Comments on Obama's Limo

Obama's Presidential Limo
When Obama showed up for the NATO summit hosted by the Portuguese, comments have been made about his limo.

These comments highlighted by Yahoo! News.  The hosts were offended by the diesel powered beast of a car while just about everyone else was using an electric, zero-emissions cars to get to their meetings.

This seems to be a comment from an environmental air-head.  Those people who made and support those comments definitely don't have people hunting for them.  Obama does.  There are psychopaths that would threaten to do such a thing.  Having this armored tank disguised as a limo for the President of the United States makes sure that they wont get a chance.

Now if you think that a electric powered car could do the same, you are wrong.  With the current technology, just the batteries of these cars add nearly tons to the total.  If you add all of the same features on to of that, the armor, the bullet proof glass, the tires that can run while flat, the performance of this limo will decline significantly.  It will be the slowest thing on the road.  In an emergency, it needs to be fast and maneuverable.    Being diesel, it can be.

If this is used as political propaganda against the Obama in the form of not being environmentally sound, they are clueless about the current technologies available and the safety of the President.

How Weed Won the West

For those who haven't seen, How Weed Won the West is a documentary about the issues of Medical Marijuana in the past years in California.

This documentary is well done and lots of time and effort has clearly been put into it.

Every single person they talk to as a dispensary owner, user (aka "Patient"), or a "doctor," they have have something wrong with them.  They all talk in a slow, cautious way.  They might be high or be in "pain" but I think it proves a different point than one that I think they meant to show.

I believe it shows that Marijuana use does change the user.  Its more than the fear of being caught, since in California, they do have the doctor's permission and the proper paper work to do such a thing.

Looking toward the end of the movie, their is one user that got severely burned and is clearly in a world of hurt.  He brings of a point that it is a miracle drug.  It takes the place of the addicting cocktail of drugs that he would need to treat pain, depression, nerve damage, digestion, seizers, anxiety.

So, lets say it does treat all of these problems at once.  What does it mean for a patient that only suffers from pain?  Should they still take the "cocktail replacing miracle drug"?  No doctor would give a patient a prescription to drugs that would treat other symptoms than the patient has.  It would be as if the patient took seizers pills when he got burned.

That's what scary about this drug, herb, or weed.  It changes people's whole being when they are not even smoking it.  This documentary proves my point.
