Someone please explain to me how the wealthy can get away with buying the nicest cars, the most expensive furniture and the biggest mansions without spending a dime. This must be the case. The left is standing firm against extending tax rebates to "rich" Americans -- it's funny how they define rich, isn't it? -- on the grounds that they will save the money. This must mean they have no plans to upgrade to a nicer BMW, buy newer furniture or move into a larger house if given a rebate check.
If they ever get a break from the government, the money must go into a black hole somewhere, never to be invested in the aforementioned luxury goods. I'd like to know what bank is holding onto all that money, wouldn't you?

Bowl was big for QB's development
The Frogs' Texas Bowl win over Houston marked the end of a pretty remarkable season. Although eight wins was shy of the 11 or 12 predicted, head coach Gary Patterson was forced to deal with a potentially devastating issue off the field before the season even started. There's no doubt the drama surrounding star Tommy Blake affected the team's performance. He, of course, missed significant time with a mysterious illness. Early in the season, even when Blake played, Patterson had to watch him closely. He was understandably not as sharp as he could have been.
Add to the Blake-related woes the fact that TCU was led by a redshirt freshman quarterback -- Andy Dalton -- and it's easy to understand how 2007 was far from disappointing. Patterson rallied TCU to consecutive victories at the end of the regular season to lead them to another bowl game The comeback at San Diego State helped shape the Frogs for the future more than many will realize. The extra practices that come with a bowl appearance are always welcome. But the Texas Bowl proved especially beneficial for Dalton, who had a great second half on the way to winning the game MVP. Playing not far from his hometown of Katy, Dalton endured a difficult first half to lead the Frogs to their third straight bowl victory. He'll be expected to persevere from similar difficulties in the future. The good news is, he now has proved he can do it in big-game situations.
