Funny Jose Canseco quote.

Jose Canseco looses his 2.5 million dollar home, doesn't sound like much more than you would pay for a 3 bedroom in Ankeny. This Yahoo quote sounded funny to me, he can't seem to get by on 35 million.

"You know my life, this financial thing, is a very complicated issue. Obviously, when you make all that money, people think, `OK, let's assume it is $35 million.' People have to understand that $35 million, you're paying the government 41 percent. That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million, not even. Then you're taking care of your whole family."
He added that a couple of divorces cost him $7 million or $8 million.

Somehow I am not suprised.

Speaking of sports celeb divorces, did I read correctly Michael Jordan's divorce cost him $150 MM ?? Wow, and I thought Paul McCartney had to fork it over.

That homerun proved that he has a hard head.

EIU is the other Okoboji University for serious students and home of Captain Kirk who pilots the Enterprise on its Trek through the Universe for finding his next great job. Captain, beware of your Superbowl.
