So we now come to another edition of the weekly shoutout. If you want to nominate someone or something for a shout out, then just tell me in the comments.

So the first Random Blog Gold Dollar goes to…Kurt Warner! Kurt Warner announced his retirement Friday. The veteran QB led the St. Louis Rams to their only Super Bowl win. He retires holding the record for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most yards in a Super Bowl. He started as a grocery bagger, then went to Super Bowl QB, then becoming labelled a has-been whose only role was to teach new quarterbacks the game, before reviving his career once more.Still he deserves the shout-out for walking away from a lot of money and giving his family the priority in his life. Some sports writers speculate that he will be back because “nothing fills the void” like football. I would disagree because Kurt Warner is also a fine Christian and I believe that he has many more years ahead.

Our 2nd Gold Dollar goes to…AT&T! (I know I said I wouldn’t feature corporations but here me out on this one) As most of you know, texting HAITI to 90999 results in a $10 donation to help the earthquake victims in Haiti. Well one AT&T employee decided to use the live display phones in the store to text the donation to Haiti. Essentially he donated to Haiti using AT&T’s money. It’s unclear whether AT&T will release the funds but if they do they will have earned their award!

Third, a Gold Dollar to the GOP. Again not a popular choice for me. To quote the President, “It was about as popular as a root canal.” Still I appreciate their invitation to the president to meet with them and to talk about issues that they agree and disagree with. While I doubt that this will produce results (I’m a skeptic at heart.) the gesture earns them an award.

Finally, a Gold Dollar to my readers! You guys are the only 2nd time winners so give yourselves a hand! Seriously this week was one of the most viewed weeks in this blog’s short history so I thank everyone for that! Cause really (besides from the relief at airing out my opinion) you guys are why I write this so, keep coming back and commenting!
