Is it just me but is anyone else wishing that Brett Favre wins the starting job in Greenbay and gets tattooed by Jared Allen in Week 1? Missing the next game(s) and killing the starting streak as karmic payback would be classic. It would be like scene from The Natural (the book) if he is goes out like he came in (replaced on injury just like he replaced the Majic Man).
Ok I'm a bad person.

Housing and Congress - 535 Reasons Why It Got Out of Hand
If you want to add another culprit to housing's woes don't forget the Congress of these United States. Housing was as sacred as motherhood and apple pie and almost as sacred as earmarks. Look no further than the line in the article about the congressman screaming at the official to get a sense of the incentive system operating through all of this.
Think about this as all the bailouts add up. Maybe Congress needs a new regulator!
Addendum:
534 - Ron Paul is the exception

Happy New Years!
Hope everyone has a happy 2007. It is said resolutions/goals written down are more likely to be achieved and so I will write my 2007 goals for public consumption in hope that it spurs me to change.
1. Decrease my weight. I think my ideal weight is about 155-165 but staying there has meant being extremely careful about what I eat, exercising a lot and being hungry a lot. Not good for the long term. I need to change what I eat as well.
2. Have at least two adventures this year. My annual cycling trip with my friend Darryl is one good one but I need to find another.
3. Do something sacrificial this year.
4. Keep up my fitness. I have gotten reasonably fit but still could go further. Lower weight (see #1) will help a lot.
5. Be a better father and husband. Life is a journey and learning to love your children for who they are, not who you would like them to be is one of its great steps . I need to be better.
That is enough. Too many and I fear loss of focus.
