January 31st
The afternoon sun is warm, it feels almost like a Spring day. Sat in the sun room, enjoyed the feel of a nice breeze through the windows.
Sovetsky Come Back
Back in the real world I see that Russian have taken to the streets to protest the economy. By the looks of the sign they are thinking like the jr. admin from IL. What short memories people have. Do they or we really want totalitarian leadership?
Google Goof
While both sides point to the other, we know first hand something went wrong this morning. While working on the blogsite we hit the “this site may harm your computer” on every Google search we did. After some heated exchanges concerning who did what, we gave up and everything returned to normal a bit later. Whew! I hate meltdowns and that looked like a complete meltdown. Google blames StopBadware.org. for the glitch. The badware folks claim innocence. No matter, someone screwed up.
FDR Awakened
While the democrats proclaim a new day with hope, change, responsibility and transparency, the cold hard facts point otherwise. If one did not know better, we could assume, they had cloned FDR as their policy advisor. With a shot across the bow of the international industrial complex, the administration has issued it’s first edict– “Buy American.” One of the keys to stagnation post the Wall Street collapse of ’29 was high taxes, protectionism, and massive government programs. “Hey, FDR, smoking is hazardous to your health.”
“Taxes, Who Me?”
Would a trend be developing that liberals have a problem with taxes? Maybe they felt that GW was wasting their dollars and did not pay as a protest. Usually, such action is accompanied by a press conference with posters, marchers and much fanfare. Maybe this was a stealth protest. Regardless the reasons, with the most recent “dark of night” revelation we see that former Senator and new admin. appointee Tom Daschle failed to pay over $100,000 in taxes. Are you really, really sorry, Tom?
Fire Me?
Learned a former Fannie Mae employee coded a virus into the system computers to wipe out all records. You think we have a mortgage meltdown now, just imagine the mess that would have created. Would there have been a push by liberals to forgive all the mortgages since they had no idea what anyone owed? The offender is being prosecuted.
Deficit Spending States Unite!
Should we as owners of the government not demand that states such as California and New York either get their collective acts together or succeed from the Union? We could start sending them bills for services rendered which should just about bury them. Can you imagine the look on Arnie’s face when he opens a bill for Homeland Security’s border protection of California. Mexico would probably like to have California back, not sure Canada nor the Indians we bought it from want it? Ideas? Could we sell them? How about to France or China? If the Chinese set up factories in CA and NY, it would reduce the cost of goods at Walmart and we can all use a break these days.
Happy Note
Drew Peterson’s fiance has moved out. What was she thinking?
Sad Note
