Rumors, rumors, rumors ... ESPN is reporting that 49ers release Mariucci from final year of contract. On the radio, they're reporting that the 49ers management team is having a press conference at noon. God ... shocking ... was Skip Bayless right?

I made it to gym tonight. I'd forgotten how the gym is full of beefy, hunky, beautiful yummy boys. Men with lovely muscled backs, arms, torsos and legs who make me think about what it would be like to run my tongue all over them or at least their well muscled body part. Mouth watering bickie boys, bickielicious sweaty beings, who sometimes smile at me. Do they think I'm cute? Or are they marveling at my fat rolls? Does it matter? Aren't we all just eye candy for each other at the gym?

Yeah! Joe Millionaire rocks and won # 1 ratings for the second week in a row. I skipped my workout because I was afraid I would miss this fantastic show. What's actually more fun than watching the show, although that's a blast too, is listening to people criticize the show and bemoaning the demise of american culture. The reality shows like Joe Millionaire came from the BBC, or says the SF Chron's TV columnist, BBC honcho smirks at U.S. copycat shows.

It's the Brit's fault!!! They started it, and the american TV networks are just copying. Get it right people, and blame the Brits.

I suppose I should comment on President Bush's latest tax cut proposal. I'm against it for the following reasons:

1) a lowered tax revenue due to a faltering stock market and ecomony. Those so called budget surpluses were estimates based on a continuing strong economy.
2) it doesn't address the Alternative Minimum Tax, which affects more and more people every year.
3) if the US is fighting a war on terrorism, doesn't it take money to fight this war? What about increasing spending for the new Homeland Security Department?
4) I read somewhere that the proposed war on Iraq is estimated at costing $4 billion. I know the Iraq war plan includes seizing the Iraqi oil fields to help pay for the war, but the logistics of the seizure don't make sense. Even if we could seize the oil fields, how do we pay for the war till then?
5) don't we need money to pay for a possible war with North Korea?
6) The UK Telegraph is reporting that America is veering towards the biggest hole ever in its government finances as the cost of tax cuts and increased military spending threaten to unsettle the world's largest economy.

Need I say more? It's just like budgeting at home. More money going out than coming in makes for a bad financial situation at home and for our federal government.
