Blogger Agrees with What Is Most Important In Terrell Owens Contract Dispute: TO's Family

Blogger rushed to his blog today to give advice to Terrell Owens on his contract dispute. Terrell Owens (TO) is holding out because $7 million a year to play football is evidently a danger to his family.

In fact, TO has repeatedly said that he does not care if other people think that he is a spoiled rotten, egotistical, self centered, maniacal jerk of the highest order, with nothing running his big mouth but a solar powered energy device contained in his rather large, empty head. TO piously said that he must think first of his family.

Blogger agrees.

Blogger would like to point out that raising a family with the belief that $7 Million a year is not enough money to adequately raise a family is sure to create children that are sadly, irreconcilably disappointed with just how super rough life can be.

Blogger would like to point out that such children, when growing up, are bound to be irritating, spoiled little brats who will cause their respective nannies to want to kill or (in the very restrained alternative) maim them. In fact, neighborhood kids will be drawn to TO's kids because of their toys, then repulsed by their behavior, causing great teasing, eventual hazing, and exposing them to dangerous situations that could result in premature death.

Furthermore, TO's kids will grow up believing that if they agree to do something in exchange for someone else doing something in return, that their word means nothing. Promises were made to be broken. That's how daddy does it.

Time and time again.

Think of your family, TO. Announce to the world that this has all been a huge misunderstanding between you and the Eagles. That when you announced to the world that you want to renegotiate your contract, you were not doing it because you wanted more money. Oh no, not you! You wanted to lessen the burden on the salary cap so that the team could go out there and get some more players for next years Super Bowl run. The league minimum, about $600,000, would still put you in the top 1% of the United States in earned income. Why, you could live on Top Ramen if you needed to, all to help the team!

A class act like that would really be nice to see. But I suspect you believe that a "class act" is bad for your family. How sad.

French and Dutch Vote Down Increased European Union Powers: Deep Analysis from Your Blogger Tells You Why

In a stunning setback to the European Union, French and Dutch Voters overwhelming voted to reject the EU Constitution.

Political observers have cited a number of reasons for the defeat. They have pointed to the concerns that the EU would be taking away the sovereignity of individual nations, fears of union members that free trade would hurt their pay and benefits, and increasing frustration with the beauracracy of the EU.

Blogger now will tell you the most important reason for the sharp rejection of the EU Constitution. Bloggers vacation.

Blogger and Blogger Long Suffering Chums Seth and Jeremy are heading on a month long, three continent, ten country journey in September. The rejection of the EU Constitution will cause the Euro to fall against the dollar. Blogger dollars will be worth more on his vacation.

And there you have it. The Dutch and French come through once again (I think the last time was in the 1700's) for Blogger. The world is a better place.
