It's Black Monday in the NFL

The day after the last regular season game is the day when many coaches and general managers get fired for their team's poor performance.

So far:

Bear fire Lovie Smith
Eagles fire Andy Reid
Jets fire GM Tannenbaum
Bills fire Chan Galley
Chiefs fire Crennel
Chargers fire Norv Turner and GM AJ Smith
Browns fire Pat Shurmur and GM Tom Heckert

I'm not going to diet. I'm just going to eat better, healthier.

I'm just going to remove the crappy foods from my diet and focus on eating healthier. Diets are too restrictive and as soon as you stop, you put the weight back on.

So, I'm going to make sure that I eat a healthy breakfast in the morning with a fresh fruit snack in the morning. Eat more vegetables at lunch and dinner, and eliminate sugar entirely.

How Many People Making >= $250K Actually Live in Republican Districts?

Can someone find a source that shows how many people who make $250K and above actually live in the congressional districts of the House Republicans.

I would wager that there are more people living on social security, medicare, food stamps, medicaid, and UE insurance that live in their districts than there are rich people. IOW, they are not representing the needs of their own constituents.

Go See "Silver Linings Playbook"

It's a truly wonderful romantic movie. Jennifer Lawrence is absolutely incredible. I've never seen an actor have that much confidence on the screen at such a young age.

It's a great movie.
