Yes I get that we are in troubled times economicly. I also know that a lot of people are saying the bailout must happen so the entire system doesn't crash. But why should the Tax payers have to pay for people making mistakes. I think the people shouldn't. Hey if you give out a loan part of the risk is someone won't pay it back, that is part of a free economy. Yes the government should help people but it isn't there job to save people who took a risk. If I go out side and trip and hit my head next time I'll learn to catch myself but if I know mom is right behind me and will catch me when I fall I won't care and I'll keep tripping. I think the same thing is true here. If the government bails out these places then they will do something else that they wouldn't normally do or take that extra chance because they know if there is a crash the government should help. I think as a nation we have to cut back on how we use credit. I know I used to live on money I didn't have and charge Christmas gifts and all kinds of things I couldn't buy. And yes I did get bailed out, and hopefully I'm wise and it doesn't happen again. But see I didn't have a house and car and I wanted to keep up with the other soccer dads. Hey maybe some great deal will get worked out and laws will get changed and great depression won't hit anytime soon. But if we don't go back to the only buy what you will have the money for after the interest is added and all the taxes the country will wind up in trouble yet again and nothing will be fixed. On a side note If I had extra with the way stocks crashed I might buy a bunch of them now. Or maybe I would wait for more panic to set in and have prices fall even more and then I could buy lots of stocks. When I was a kid (could be wrong) Banks where state wide and you couldn't have banks in multiple states, maybe that was a good idea. Hey if Key bank fell it would only Hurt People in this state. I'm not saying I'm an expert I just think that in a free economy where there is risk and rewards that someone who risks and loses everything shouldn't be saved. I'm not some huge Capitalist but if that is the system we are going to use lets stick with that system. Hey Socialism is fine but that isn't our economic system so we shouldn't use it to help the rich. I also fear that no matter what happens some how this is going to wind up making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

The Bail out and why it shouldn't happenCategory: economy

So much sunday sometimes nothing....Category: tv
I'm sure I have said this In a blog before but I find it odd (maybe it just that I have a lot of interests not sure) that there is either nothing on TV I'm into or there is a bunch of stuff. A good example of that is Sunday night. 8-10pm on Fox is Animation Domination (The Simpsons and Family Guy are the best two of all four). Then at 9pm you have Desperate Housewives (I have no idea why I like that show) Also at 9pm (to graphic for me) is Dexter followed by Californacation [awesome show haven't seen the new season yet] then on HBO is Trueblood. That is followed by 3 new shows and then repeats after them it is Entourage (good), Little Britten USA (passed out on) couple minutes I saw was good and some animated show The Life of Tim or something like that. The way these shows line up they over lap with this show on just blanked if it is IFC or Sundance I think IFC called Z rock. It is a funny show about this rock band who because they haven't made it is also a kids band and does kids songs, it is a pretty good show. This is why I'm glad Time Warner has the Indemand stations that way you can try and catch stuff you missed once it get added to the station. What bothers me about Time Warner (maybe this has changed) is they and WIVB can't get along and it looks like they might lose them. I'll be honest I never watch channel 4 except For Football. I hope Time Warner knows that if people lose football games they will turn Cable off, I hope WIVB isn't trying to rip off Time Warner based on this fact. I have no idea who is in the right but they need to work it out so I can watch football. OH yeah and I forgot on Sunday Nights there is football to watch also if it is teams I'm into.

It seems to happen like that with movies at the theatre too - it's kind of an all or nothing. They usually release a whole bunch of stuff I'd like to see around the same time, or everything is a whole bunch of crap at the same time.

Chris Rock SNLCategory: comedy
So not sure if this is going to work, I didn't But that is ok here is some Chris Rock Comedy from Bill Maher that kinda has to do with some of his Comedy Special that was on Last Night.
I thought Chris Rock was pretty Funny. It was kinda interesting since it was taped from 3 or four locations and mid joke he would switch outfits. I still found it funny though. The reason for the switch was that it was the same joke from a different location I found most of it funny, political, dick, race and all kinds of stuff was covered.
What I was trying to post of Video of was Tina Fey (i love you rape me with Polar so I can have your babies, she is hot) As Palin from SNL last night, it wasn't on You Tube yet, oh yeah did I also Mention I love Anna Faris (rape me please and make me your sex slave). It isn't just that she is hot I have seen her in a bunch of those goofy parody movies. Last nights episode was pretty good top to bottom. So here is a link to the page of the video

Lots of stuff going on?Category: events.
So today on my way down Elmwood I saw a few things:
-Pano's is open and lots of people where there
-A bunch of bikers (bikes not motorcycles) in front of campus wheel works
-scion set up near globe market
-Setting up for Rockn at the Knox (B52 and other perform)
Then today there is a hip hop show on Tonawanda St. not sure where exactly if I new how to get there I might go. My cousin band sometimes performs with another band and they sound pretty good together Dali's Climax .
Around 5 today they are having this red carpet event for the Sabres to Play The Maple Leafs, that sounds pretty interesting. I didn't see the game listed on TV any where I have to maybe check out the buffalo news and see if they have any info about that.
Last night I tried to be all Political and watch the Debate then go right to Bill Maher. Sorry I couldn't stay awake for it, but at least I saw Maher this morning. One of his Guests (not a panel guest though) was Chris Rock, he is pretty funny. Rock has an HBO Special on at 9pm tonight. I hope it is really good and really funny. Not sure if it is live or taped. The reason I say Hope is because some of his stuff is funny and some of it isn't. That isn't just true of him but of everyone I have seen do comedy.
I'm sure there is other stuff that Is going on that I don't know about hope everyone has a great rest of there weekend.

Sabres Puck dropCategory: photos
So On Saturday with about 2 hours of sleep I went to get Hockey Tickets at the Sabres Puck drop and watched the Scrimmage. It was a pretty good time. I hope they have a great season and Hope they win or at least play very good at the 4 games I'm going to. On a side note before I put pictures up I hope those who looked at my previous post liked it. If for some reason you didn't see enough pictures they can all be seen on my webshots page.
The Revealing of the 3rd Jerseys was pretty cool. If I come across some extra cash I would like to get one, that would be cool get in nice and comfy I geuss, we shall see kinda hurting for cash right now though.

(e:Paul) thanks it helped that I was close and in an isle seat so I didn't have to shoot over heads or between shoulders. I'm not sure why someone would sit one seat in from the isle as opposed to on the isle but it lucked out for me.
(e:tinypliny) with out seeing the background I'm guessing it is field hockey. I think in America only girls play it. But in the olympics it is a men's and women's sport. I know the sticks are different and I think it is not considered a contact sport but not sure. During the sabres stuff inside they had street hockey games out side. In terms of Hockey there used to be maybe there still is a Roller Hockey league team in buffalo I think they where called the Raptors and the used to play at HSBC/Aud maybe and then the team moved to Buffstate. In Roller hockey they use roller blades not skates that was pretty cool to watch.

I can see the average just plain folks not wanting their tax dollars going to go to "Douchebags" living in the city and or working on Wall St. Supposedly the faxes and calls to the people's local reps were 9 or 10 to 1 AGAINST the bailout. What I'm thinking is that they voted as they did because of the way their constituents demanded they vote and with an election 1 month away the motivation is obvious.
All I want to know is if they voted the way they did because they believed in not salvaging the credit markets or they were just afraid of losing their job?
