Yes it’s that day again, where we come up with a reason to celebrate our gridiron heroes. So all of you who enjoy football, we say-Go Steelers!

I’m less interested this year, mostly because I am getting tired of athletes in general. Not sports- I like sports, especially participating, although age and injuries slow me down, but I am pretty tired of the pampered, overrated, rich, smug overpaid illiterate, “the world revolves around me” athlete.

Such is life though. I am also tired of the overrated politician, the overrated superintendent, the overrated school board trustee, the overrated parent, and so on and so forth.

It’s early in the morn and we’re off to the Farmer’s Market to make some money. Am I overrated? Maybe, but I hope not. At least the dog doesn’t think so.

This week I’ll be finishing up the Teen Pregnancy Manifesto, and whoa Nelly!, have I been taking some shit for my views. I have been called out-of-date, out-of-touch, blind, sex-obsessed, know-nothing, and completely stupid. I wrote a rebuttal on The Huffington Post about the reality behind the TBR (teen birth rate) and I was reamed by teens who told me that if the teen girls who get pregnant would just knuckle down and get their shit together, not to mention keep their legs together,  they too, could accomplish their dreams.

Ahhh, ’tis a sad thing to feel unloved. To be castigated by the very souls whom you are trying to help. People keep equating teen sex with teen pregnancy-Not true. Stop it. Now.

After I finish that up, I have two special posts about our friends Jamie Lynn Spears and Bristol Palin. Then I will put it all together with a post about one small town called Perris, where I show how ignoring this very disturbing social problem will completely and utterly destroy the fabric of the town, and all the people in it. Only the stupid and ignorant ignore this.

Ok Josh, I’m back. And finally, a big hello to Melba R. Thanks for reading along. I hope I make it worth your time.
