Dance, Dance, Dance
They're calling it the Lombardi Gras in New Orleans these days. From now till Mardi Gras they party hearty. They Dance, Dance, Dance! They eat great quantities of food, wash it all down with beer or bourbon, and fill the streets with color. It is now a Super City and the fans refuse to let go of their victory Sunday night. Well I'm happy for them. But get your exercise New Orleans! Dance, Dance, Dance!

Was Goldman Sachs Responsible for the Housing Crisis? Are they Now Making Huge Profits off Foreclosures?
Goldman Sachs apparently did far, far more damage to our economy and our nation than al Qaeda could ever dream of doing, yet we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars going after al Qaeda. As far as I know, there are no investigations, no inquiries and no prosecutions targeted at Goldman Sachs. There are no "black site" prisons holding the engineers of the recession. There are no Predator drones with Hellfire missiles orbiting around Greenwich (CT), Westport (CT) or Bedford (NY), trying to catch sight of a Goldman executive. There are no teams of special forces killers trying to find and eliminate those guys.
America - you are really getting screwed
"In just the year before the A.I.G. bailout, Goldman collected more than $7 billion from A.I.G. And Goldman received billions more after the rescue. Though other banks also benefited, Goldman received more taxpayer money, $12.9 billion, than any other firm".

Are the short sales you see nationwide a Goldman Sachs scam? Who's making money on the foreclosures? Watch the video below. This will blow your mind.

More Nails
This is definitely bordering on the rediculous. Well, I guess if you are an employee of one of these fast food chains they may one day make it a requirement to wear a few nails advertising their product but it's more likely a person would wear them to make a statement. My fast food restaurants not shown. Can you guess it?

"It's Off to Work We Go" . . .
Well, maybe not for the Super Bowl ticket holders who attended last nights thrilling game. The Saints came back in the second half to kick some butt (see photo below, Saints 31, Colts 17). Those from New Orleans will likely party into Mardi Gras, then extend the Mardi Gras party and what? it'll be the 4th of July by then so plan on a party if you get to visit New Orleans anytime soon. I'm tempted to fly over since I'm not that far away. I can be at the Orlando Airport in 30 minutes. Oh well, for the working stiffs out there, like me, have that last cup of coffee and hit the road. It's off to work we go. Have a great week!
SAINTS 31, COLTS 17
"Four years ago, who ever thought this would be happening when 85 percent of the city was under water from (Hurricane) Katrina," Brees said. "Most people not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back or if the organization and the team would come back. ... This is the culmination of that belief and that faith."
Congratulations New Orleans Fans!

Sunday Morning
Love
Contrary to the old cliche love is anything but blind. Love is something that helps us to see God, ourselves, other people, and the whole world as they really are. A person who truly loves never settles for less than the best in any relationship, and never offers less than the best of him/herself. Love is not a sort of vague, formless kind of nice warm feeling, but rather a very specific, concrete, reality oriented sense. Our attitude towards others can never be merely what we might think that others deserve or what feels right to us. God has bound us together in a relationship that is indeed marked by something more than human. Love is our willingness to act in the best interests of someone whom we know perfectly well, would not be willing to do for us. That does not mean just being polite, just showing good manners: but it is a real willingness to truly promote the welfare of that person.
