Cap and Choke

I have never been as afraid for the future of this country as I am now. We as a nation had better rise up against this one. The upcoming vote in the Senate for Green Cap and Trade legislation (the House has already passed it) could mean the end of freedom of choice in this country. Obama and the libs want to tax you silly, all in the name of "global warming." Oh, and the White House is trying to suppress word that the EPA has covered up evidence that carbon dioxide is NOT the threat to the environment that the lefties want you to believe. This is all about control of YOUR FREEDOM AND YOUR MONEY. If this goes through, just wait 'til you see your electric bill in a couple of years. Plus, the Obamaites are now floating the ideas of another stimulus! and immigration reform... hmmm, guess the illegals would make a lovely liberal voting block for 2012! And there's more! As an added bonus, under future Green legislation, you may not be able to set YOUR temperature in YOUR house to the level of YOUR comfort. Sounds like socialism to me! And with all the lost jobs from businesses being soaked by all this hoohah you can kiss any economic recovery goodbye. Call the Capitol at (202) 224-3121, and tell 'em what you think. Before it's too late...

Sarah Palin

Just because I lean right doesn't mean I like everybody who is GOP. Take Sarah Palin. Please, take her away. I hope her resignation as Governor of Alaska means we won't have to listen to her whine anymore about the pressures of being thrust into the limelight and what it has done to her and her family. Some people are not meant for greater things, and it's lucky we found out about ol' Sarah before she was a heartbeat away from the Presidency. I never cared for her. I think she is a phony with all that "you betcha" talk. You betcha I'm glad she's gone, at least for now.

Health Update

I'm at the age where I have to be more conscious of my body. Yesterday, with the recent death of Farrah Fawcett from anal cancer fresh on my mind, I went into the hospital as an outpatient to have a colonoscopy performed. This procedure looks for signs of anal and/or colorectal cancer and any other maladies associated with that area. I was nervous, both about the procedure, and about the outcome. Well, I needn't have been! I was sedated and don't remember anything about the time it was done. And, they gave me a clean bill of health (as far as my colon is concerned). If you are fifty or over, or have any unusual symptoms associated with that region, please get a colonoscopy. It could save your life!

The Twilight's Last Gleaming?

Here on this, our nation's Independence Day, I want to voice my opinion about the state of this great country. I have not said much since Obama was elected, in order to be fair and give him some time to try to solve some of our many problems. Well, so far it doesn't look good. Even lifelong lefty Helen Thomas is livid about the White House press corps being fed questions in advance in order to try to control the news about Obama and company. Unemployment continues to increase. It's now up to almost ten percent. The housing market is still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Credit reform is a joke. Corporations are being seized and nationalized in an unprecendented manner. And don't get me started about the deficit. We are selling out this country! Is all the money spent really doing any good? Trillions spent already; and much more to come if Obama gets his way with national health care. Most of us don't want it, but like much during this first six months of King Barrack's reign, we're going to get it regardless now that Al Franken has been declared the senate winner in Minnesota. The already insufferable Democrats now have a filibuster-proof majority in Congress. God help us. I don't want to live in a socialist country.

Farrah and Michael

Holy Shit. Two icons of my generation gone in one day. Farrah Fawcett was only 62, and her death was not surprising because we all knew about the cancer and how bad it was. But Michael Jackson? Even though he was obviously frail and had known health issues, it was still a shock to hear of his death at age 50. I am thinking more and more about my own eventual demise someday. It will happen to all of us, regardless of fame, fortune or stature. Death- the great equalizer...

Blogger Fatigue

I haven't written anything in months... Haven't felt like pontificating on all the sundry bullshit going on. Silly Obama is going to bury us all. Silly silly. We're all doomed. Oh the pain the pain.

Spend

(Sung to the tune of Monty Python's Spam) Spend, spend spend spend spend spend spend spend...lovely spending, wonderful spending! The Democrats are on the loose while the rest of us have to cut back. JUST LOVELY!!!!!!

OINK OINK

Well, well. Obama finally has his stimulus bill. He pretty much rammed it down our collective throats. Most of the public didn't want this. We didn't want it when Bush pushed it last year. So far it hasn't worked. It seems most of the money has gone to CEO perks and company trips to sunny climates. Oh, the latest bill was cut down a bit, but is still outrageous at some 780 billion of our money, which will eventually come due. New total we owe: 2 trillion dollars. Holy shit. So much for bipartisanship, which was promised by our President when he ran for office. So much for the future of this country. So much for "hope, instead of fear." Fear was the main tactic to get this porkfest passed so fast. No help to relieve the mortgage crisis in this bill. Some tax cuts, but mostly just more Democratic pork. Just more BULLSHIT. It's not even a Republican or Democrat thing anymore. Both parties are guilty. It's just politics as usual. We are being sold out. Socialism is coming. Better get ready. You wanted it, America, and now you got it. Happy? Let's see how we feel in a few months. God, I pray this works. But I have a bad feeling. A really bad feeling.

Cards Still Winners

What a Super Bowl! It was supposed to be a boring routine Steelers blowout. Surprise! The Arizona Cardinals proved they can play with the big boys by staging the biggest point comeback in Super Bowl history. The previous record was ten points. The Cards gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a helluva time up until the end. The final score: Steelers 27, Cardinals 23. Turnovers, penalty flags galore, and plenty of nail biting on both sides. Kurt Warner and company have nothing to be ashamed of. I should think Pittsburgh fans have a newfound respect for our boys in red and white. I am so proud of their Rocky-like rise to real contention in the biggest game in football. With what the Cardinals have built this season, WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!
