Well, since nothing really is going on here ...

Cubs are on a roll. They're 8-4 so far. Soriano still blows with RISP and sucks as a leadoff hitter, but he's all we got for it, so he'll do. Looks like Chicago should take the NL Central without a problem again this year ... hopefully they'll win at least one friggin' playoff game this time around.

Bears got Jay Cutler from the Broncos, so they finally have a quarterback -- and not just a good QB, but a young one that they can slap a franchise tag on. With Cutler and Forte, they should be able to concentrate on their offensive line for now, then switch the focus back to defense.

Tax day was last week. Ironically, April 15th is the same day the Titanic sunk, and the same day Lincoln died. So if you like Lincoln, 15 Apr is just a bad day. ... Unless you find out that you're getting your own money back from the interest-free loan to the government.

Speaking of government, people are still defending Obama and attacking Bush, despite the fact that Obama has increased government and spending more in the last three months than Bush did in eight years. Tea Party demonstrations were held all over the country on tax day, protesting irresponsible and wasteful spending by both parties, but were promptly attacked by the mainstream media.

And since I mentioned attacks, yet another of Obama's gems -- apparently, if you like small government, don't like overtaxation, value the Second Amendment, fight for the life of an unborn child, or are a veteran, you are an extremist and need to be surveiled. No outcry yet from the people who attacked Bush over the Patriot Act, which gave consent to watch people with known ties to terrorists.

On to more practical matters. Fishing season starts next weekend. Since fishing on the Wisconsin River is open all year, I went on Monday, but only caught two Walleye, a crawdad, and a mudpuppy. The mudpuppy was freaky, since I'd never seen one before, and when a person fishes, most of the time they don't expect to pull up their line and find something on it with legs. The weather was cold and rainy, and it even snowed for a while, so I didn't stay out too long, but it was good to fish again. I hadn't been for a while. I'll probably go again on Friday, since it's supposed to be good weather ... and with the front moving out, it should be good fishing, too.
