Friday

Just a couple of lines today.  Looks like a picture-perfect football Friday in the QCA.

I'm not sure whether the jinx still exists given the falling importance of print media, but for someone who still reads a lot of printed material, I'm kinda glad that Notre Dame has their off-week tomorrow. Check out the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated:

The kid featured is their middle linebacker from Hawaii.  Nice article about his journey.  There was lots of talk about him perhaps going pro last year, but then spurning the money for his senior year.  Hmmmm.  If the high draft slot was a $4 million drafting position, I wonder if the scouts actually told him that another year was needed to get ready for the NFL.

Here's a headline that the Big O would love:  http://economywatch.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/28/14137911-france-wants-to-slap-rich-with-75-percent-super-tax?lite  Eat the Rich is not the preference of solely the US Democrats. 

So O was at Kent State and Bowling Green yesterday, pandering yet again to his campus constituency.  I have trouble reconcilling the pursuit of better loan terms for financing college, with the lack of post-graduation employment opportunities, and the long-term per capita allocation of our government's exploding debt obligations.  Do these kids ever ask a tough question?  Or is, "It's Bush's fault" still the hit tune?

Hope everyone has a Good Friday.
