California is in the midst of the nations' biggest garage sale starting today in what will be a two day extravaganza to help relieve the states catastrophic budget deficit. Arnold is pulling out all the stops in an attempt to replenish the till even going so far as to auction off a cache of cocaine alleged seized from a vehicle once owned by Richard Pryor, or so it is reported. Officials are reportedly not disclosing the amount of 'yeyo housed ' in the stash but it is rumored that Steve Howe is making a comeback of sorts as he is the high bidder with Keith Richards and Boy George also in the running. As for the Terminator, he has signed the visors of a chosen few of the some 600 vehicles for sale, though attempts to entice him to sign bottles of 'arnolds' have thus far been met with resistance from wifey, who is doing her all to purify the Kennedy family tree. If you dont know what 'arnolds' are, well, you'll just have to take a wild guess.

Plaxico Burress has frittered his NFL career away as a result of the 2 year plea bargain he accepted this week. Another very stiff sentence and one that might not make a whole lot of sense when you look at the fact that Brown's wide receiver Donte Stallworth was basically handed down one month for killing a pedestrian while driving under the influence. Burress' actions were regrettable but at least he perpetrated the damage unto himself as opposed to that of another individual as was the case with Stallworth, who could possibly resurrect his career seeing as though he was suspended from playing in the NFL for only a year. May the time pass quickly Plax.

Data released by the American Chemical Society states that 'cocaine is present in up to 90 percent of paper money in the United States, particularly in large cities such as Baltimore, Boston, and Detroit.' Rick James wanabees should set up shot in the nations' capital as those bills contain traces of 'yeyo' with a frequency factor of up to 95 percent, with many of those having been christened, no doubt, by two time Mayor Marion Barry. All of this must be good news to Stephon Marbury who probably put the final stake in his NBA coffin at age 32 as the much traveled veteran of 6 teams was busted smoking weed on camera. Marbury's antics may mimic those of many honorable businessmen throughout the world, but the vast majority of those 'medicinally starved' individuals have not recently been handed a pink slip, as Stephon was in that the Celtics have decided to officially end to their late season experiment by not offering him a contract. At a time when most NBA players are hitting their prime, Stephon is washed up at 32, a shame when you consider that the Coney Island native was dogging college players on the Brooklyn asphault when he barely turned 12 years old. If Stephon decides to cross over to the bigger and better stuff, if he hasn't already, he can join the millions of Americans who can emancipate themselves from their 'connection' in these times of economic strife by merely sniffing from what is right under their nose, or in this case in their wallet. Keep the printing presses going Ben.

Since throwing anything at the TV is no longer an option, the preference is to just chalk last nights' 49ers Bronocs over debacle to the football gods', who obviously wanted to punish me for gloating about the Raider victory the night before. Sure Coach Josh could have kicked the PAT so I could have downed a Bloody Mary in jubilation instead of disguist, but it was not to be. On another note, shame on Chic Fil-A for laying down the law on nourishment minded breast feeding women, which happened just a few short days ago in Winter Park Florida. I, for one, can deal with a few exposed mammaries while dining on bird, in fact, this writer might be inclined to linger a little longer depending upon the quality of the mammaries, and perhaps make Chic'Fil'A my newly appointed 5 star restaurant of choice.

Blogging is back.....and we will not pull punches....In the meantime, Al Davis may be due one final dose of good fortune before he succumbs to father time...this year may just be that dose. The Raiders should compete for the AFC Crown this year as they manage to pull off 10 wins, much to the chagrin of all of those 'Raider Nation' haters. Yes, the silver and black is back. Now if we could only dredge the Clippers from the depths of despair and assure holders of those California IOU's that their money is safe. Sorry, no can do.
