I am coming live from the planet of New Orleans today getting ready for the new year. I'm kind of excited although I will still be broke for the first half of the year again. It could be allot worse so I am not going to stress about that any longer. It's now time for me to touch on some things that I have been checking out around the globe for the last week. Coming later I will present the first annual Cliff's Crib's Year End Awards and Disses. These winners and losers were selected by a secret panel who have way too much time on their hands. That should be posted tomorrow and I know everyone is excited. Enough about that for now...............

It snowed for Christmas! I must admit that the snow put me in the spirit of the season. I loved it for one day but if it snowed for more than 3 days straight in this city, nobody would be able to drive.

There has never been another tragedy in my lifetime like that earthquake in Sri Lanka. Who knows how large the death toll will get. George Bush, this is a great oppurtunity to show the rest of the world that we are the leader in everything. Go to Congress and get some money to help those people. We have to help rebuild nations that don't have evil dictators with a large supply of oil. You should even send your top aides over to deliver the message first hand.

While there are thousands of people dying in Sri Lanka, this fool burned his house down over Xmas gifts. I think we have a new poster boy for birth control.

I would like to thank the Eagles for making no attempt whatsoever to beat the Rams last night. It's all part of the conspiracy to keep the Saints out of the playoffs.

I'm tired of people acting like the Panthers have already won the damn game Sunday. If this doesn't fire the Saints up, I don't know what will.

R.I.P. to Reggie White. I remember watching you lift lineman off of their feet. You were a great player.
