I played sports for all my life - but I am devoid of the "winner gene" - The beauty of sports is looking across the line at your opponent and playing to the best of your ability.

After game I always felt good about being able to play, If the team won? So much better.

Afterwards you shook hands or sat around for a soda, beer or played again.

-----------------

Sportsmanship is a as important as winning or losing.

You can tell who the winners are because you forget who won the next day.

Losers will remind you, long after the contest is over, that they won the game.

----------------

Instead of the politicians and media rolling up their sleeves and saying, "good game, let's plan the next match?"

They are too busy reminding everyone they won - no wonder no one wants to play with them again........

According to a letter to the editor in today's Orange County Register the cause of the demise of Hostess was not bad management...it was not evil unions...it was....

are you ready? This is almost impossible to believe...but if it was in the OC Register it MUST be true...the responsiblity goes to...

Michelle Obama

That's right. It is her fault because for "so many years" she has been advising people not to eat unhealthy and fattening snacks and junk food.

[Karen]

Never mind how many people have been telling folks that before her ... and been ignored just as much. And even she would allow a snack cake if it was a treat, not an everyday substitute for fruit in their diet, for example.

Don't you love how there's gotta be someone to blame for everything? No one ever admits it is their own fault ... must be some external influence, yeah ... find a celebrity to blame!

Hey, maybe it is MY fault - after all, it has been many, many years since I have eaten a Twinky, even before I had food allergies that now prevent me from eating them ...

Kinda like President Obama blaming President Bush for everything???

I kinda blame the lost Bush kid, Reggie.

No, not like that. If you want to make an connection to Bush you would have to have something like...it is Laura Bush's fault that so many people are reading "50 Shades of Gray".

Someone please explain to me how a congress who can't keep us from the looming fiscal cliff and all the cut backs coming has the gumption to give themselves a $900 a month raise? When I worked, we only got raises when we earned them. I don't think any one in congress has earned any sort of a raise this year.
But, that's just the opinion of someone living 130% below the poverty level.

Vote the bums out! It amazes me every time we Americans re-elect so many of the same people that are screwing this up - and it is a mess they created for themselves!

Congress did not give themselves pay raises. It was the President, by Executive Order - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2377714.html

Congress is trying to get the Order rescinded - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...ess-pay-raise/
