The Sky Is Falling!

As quite a few people are calling the financial bailout plan a crap sandwich, I’m starting to think they are right.   They had me pretty worried with all the armageddon references.  I was buying into the bailout plan.  After all, who wants to be jobless and homeless?     For something that is supposed to [...]

GOP in the driver’s seat

The Democrats could have passed this bailout bill all by themselves but failed miserably.  The Democrats got so caught up in partisan blame and anti-business rancor that they completely blew their big chance to “save the country”. The GOP voted their conscience and voted with the sentiment of the majority of Americans that this is [...]

McCain will get the deal done

Just the mere fact that John McCain has suspended his campaign to work on the solution has the Dems all in a panic.  This is why everybody loves McCain.  He truly always puts his country ahead of his aspirations (think Iraqi Surge) and it just so happens to be a politically savvy move at the [...]

Got milk?

I have a favorite milk called Hood Calorie Countdown.  Don’t be fooled by the name.  Once you have this milk you will never be able to drink regular milk again.   This is my dilemma.  Publix used to carry it but when they stopped we found it at Walmart.  Well to my extreme disappointment, Walmart, [...]

A strange coincidence

The financial bailout is $700 Billion.   The amount of wealth we transfer to foreign countries for energy is $700 Billion per year.  It’s too bad that this Do-Nothing Congress can’t find this sense of urgency in all important matters.  I wonder if they can actually get anything done at all.

Obama has nothing

After listening to McCain’s specific plan to regulate the financial institutions, I listened to Obama’s “plan”.   It was ridiculous.  He spoke in platitudes that said absolutely nothing.
This is what I heard:
we need to     blah blah blah Fluff
we need a bi-partisan plan     blah blah blah
people suffering blah blah blah
crisis    blah blah blah
swift serious action   blah blah [...]

Who’s to blame?

Pelosi and Reid say Bush/Cheney. Bush tells the Dems to look in the mirror. Obama says McCain. McCain/Palin say Wall Street corruption. So who is right? I am. The blame for this is on everybody’s shoulders. Nobody did anything because of all the damn money. And [...]

Rest in peace

Our good friend Julie from Degree of Madness lost her father, Gene Topazi, on Monday.  I’m sure Julie could use our support and sympathies.  Please stop by and leave her a kind word and perhaps a prayer for her father.
From AL.com:
Eugene J. Topazi Sr.
TOPAZI, EUGENE J., SR., age 78, died Sunday, September 14, 2008. He [...]

Tina Fey is Sarah Palin

Tina Fey nailed Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live.  She got all the mannerisms and the accent.  Of course they also tried to make her look foolish as was expected, but they also made Hillary Clinton look silly too.  Funny stuff.

Have you forgotten?

I haven’t.
Seven years later still no more attacks in the United States (knocking on wood). This is an amazing accomplishment considering the ambition of our enemies.  President George W. Bush deserves credit for keeping us safe. He deserves credit for keeping our economy strong in a time of war. He deserves credit for seeing the [...]
