Bayerworld - The Rantings of Craig Bayer

Why don’t we spend 8 Billion to build a Train from Disneyworld to Vegas?

Instead of spending the 17.4 billion dollars to bailout the auto industry, why don’t we spend the money build mag trains all over the country.  We could equip them with Wi-Fi like they do in Japan and you could make the United States one of the most mobile industrialized countries in the world.  It would help reduce our need on foreign oil and get rid of these long commutes that everyone complains about and make us more productive. 

Running Using the Nike Run

I use my IPOD Touch Generation 2.0 for a lot of things, included running.  I purchased the Nike Sensor to add Mizuno Wave Creations running shoes.  Every time I run, it records my distance and pace.  I have found it amazingly accurate. 

Since Nike records all of my runs and sends it to its website, it is very easy to track your distance and times to compete with other people.  This is great motivation to get in shape and keep in touch with friends that have moved far away.

I am not voting for Vitter

David Vitter just announced that he will run for reelection.  Under no circumstances will I vote for Vitter, even if his loss gives the Democrats a 60 seat Filibuster Majority.  The following are 3 reasons while I will not vote for him:

1. Vitter thought Clinton should resign because he committed adultery.

As background, several news outlets reported that in May 1999, Vitter replaced Congressman Bob Livingston after Livingston resigned due to an adultery scandal.^{[5][143][122]} Vitter said about Livingston's decision to resign, "It's obviously a tremendous loss for the state. I think Livingston's stepping down makes a very powerful argument that Clinton should resign as well and move beyond this mess", referring to the Monica Lewinsky scandal of President Bill Clinton.^[144]

2. Vitter is a liar.

Vitter is in his first Senate term after serving six years in the House. During his Senate campaign, Vitter was accused by a member of the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee of carrying on a lengthy affair with a prostitute in New Orleans's French Quarter.

In a radio interview, Vitter then called the allegation "absolutely and completely untrue" and dismissed it as "just crass Louisiana politics."

3. Vitter is a hypocrite.

Vitter professes that marriage is a sacred vow between a man and a woman. In 2003, Vitter proposed to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban same sex marriages.^[119] In 2004, he said, "This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history...We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts’s values."

LSU fans are unloyal

LSU fans seem to want to give Les Miles the boot.  I take this from what I have heard around town and this quote from Dandydon.com.

Saturday was my all-time busiest day for emails on a Saturday, by far. In many of the emails I received, Tiger fans expressed that they would like to see Les Miles and his staff replaced, but I can guarantee everyone that Miles will be at LSU for at least the 2009 season. However, if LSU's record falls below even in 2009 Miles will probably be in serious trouble.

If you were at all loyal, you might want to take the entire body of work of Les Miles, and trust him to do the correct thing.

You might think that given the fact that we lost Bo Pelini (Nebraska is 8-4), Matt Flynn, Ryan Perrilloux,  Glen Dorsey (The most decorated defensive player in school history), and Jacob Hester, we might have down year. 

You might realize that Florida went 8-5 last year and now is playing in the national championship. 

You might realize that after losing Rohan Davey, Nick Saban went 8-5 in his third year at LSU.  If we win our bowl game, we will have gone 8-5.

You might realize that LSU not that great of school to be a football player.  If my son was the next Brent Favre\Tom Brady, I would do everything in my power to discourage him from going to LSU.  I have seen and heard how Tiger Fan’s treat a 19 year old Freshman Quarterback. 

By the way, keep bitching about how Nick Saban is so unloyal and how he left us.  If any coach was perceived as doing bad at LSU, no one would think twice about tearing up their contract.

If LSU fires Les Miles, I hope that he goes to Michigan and wins 10 national championships in a row, and LSU never beats an SEC Team again.

Get over Saban, He is Just not that into you!

Been a very hectic football season for me this year.  I made the App State game and that was it.  I have had to work pretty much every weekend. Pretty big deal since I have made every LSU game since 1998 that I have been in town. 

While I kind of regret not tailgaiting right now, I don’t want to be around a whole bunch of LSU fans right now talking about Nick Satan.  Quiet frankly, it is pathetic. 

How many people do you personally know that took a job promotion, realized they did not like their new job and went back to their old position albeit for a different company.  That is exactly what Nick Saban did.  Steve Spurrier did the exact same thing and Florida welcomes him back to the swamp with open arms. 

It might be a shocker to some, but in my life, some girls have rejected me.  Anytime people ask me what happened, I say “We had some could times together, it did not work out, but I wish her the best.”  I don’t go around telling everyone I know how the girl: betrayed me/is a whore/is a liar/is greedy/ is un-loyal, because I don’t want to be “That Guy”.  You know, the guy that never gets over the girl even thought he is with a new girl who is pretty amazing in her own self (three 10 win season, 3 Bowl Blowouts, SEC Championship, National Championship, Les Miles). “That Guy” that keeps calling the girl up at 3am crying on the phone, stalks her and her family, sends her flowers, shows up when she is on a date, “That Guy” who everyone knows is a loser.  The LSU fans that cannot get over Saban, are that guy.

 

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Hi My Name is Craig and I work at a Bar

Still no power at my house.  No work has been done in out neighborhood.  I am not mad at Entergy at all, they have a huge job to do and they are working as hard as they can.  The latest estimate will be 9/17/2008 to we have power.  That will have been  without power for 17 days.  Again, no complaints, the storm was a big deal but you would think that it would be a bigger story on the national news.       

Did a newsletter to clients on experiences during the storm.  You can view it here: http://www.lawot.com/Newsletters/hosted.htm

I spend the morning working at Perks, and the afternoon working at Chelseas.  They have even given me my own corner at the bar at Chelseas to work at. 

You can get MREs and Tarps and water from FEMA on Siegen Ln. 

7 - 14 Days until my house in Baton Rouge gets power

Ike prediction is early but does not look promising.
