Who's Responsible? BP Yes & Congress Yes

Pay attention and focus on just who is responsible. The oil companies were allowed to drill with the permits given by OUR government which is governed by our congress and our Presidents. All of the anger on YouTube,Facebook, numerous blogs are aimed at the wrong target responsible. Our government has not been governing, they have been fighting over who is in power and as long as this continues they will not have the ability to govern. We are passengers on a rudderless ship of state that has a captain who turns the ships wheel this way and that way at the behest of whoever has the most money in their hand at any moment in time and then the next day someone else shows a wad of cash and the wheel gets turned in another direction and we are now going around in circles with no plotted course. Tomorrow the wheel will get turned a little, maybe left, maybe right and the our elected representatives will go on to the next contributor and their wishes, wishes confirmed by their cash. I think the best thing we could do is elect our representatives by identifying cash as republican, democratic, or independent and the person who raises the most cash from any one group wins. The hell with voting, just PayPal your favorite as few dollars and hope he/she wins. Let's be honest! It's all about the money isn't it?

Guns Are OK For Us, Not For Them

Ok, lets have at it, these politicians in DC bloviate about guns are ok here and there, bars, political demonstrations where the President is yards away and they seem comfortable with these firearms being held in the hands of the unwashed. Well? Let's get behind a law where anyone with a concealed carry permit or just a license to carry either a hand gun or a long barrel would be allowed to tour the Congressional offices of the house and the senate with their choice of firearm in hand, LOADED!

What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

If this is Obama's Katrina...

Than he should just pull a Palin, well almost because she quit half way through.

We have all seen video of Obama's Katrina and it is not pretty, but as this map displays based upon the number off wells and pipelines in use in the gulf PowerBall is a better bet. While we were complaining about wars and tax cuts DICK, oh he surely is one, was drillin' and drillin'. You know I don't care anymore, when they impact my life I'll get upset but I've lost hope and I'm sure it won't get as bad as they say but dammit, can't anybody in our gov't pull together a minute amount of competency?

pipelines both damaged and currently in use

Politics as entertainment and the Jesters

>
What cable tevee has done is make our politics entertainment. Filling hours of teevee time, not news, with jesters who are more than happy to get in front of a camera and spout. They spout headlines every minute and the tv networks go thru cycles where in the end a natural event gets in the way of the jesters spewing their hate and bait on their way to the most outlandish and truthful or not headline. Headline meaning just the craziest words you could imagine on any subject. They get to the head of the pundit line very easily, lie,laugh at some one's downfall, misspeak [their favorite] and do what ever to get on the teevee machine. These people have no moral center nor do they have any cognisant agenda other than getting their face of the teevee machine. They heart the dollars that the teevee machine brings then and they sell their souls and credibility to get those dollars. These people are not qualified to be where they are in our government yet they get elected by pandering to peoples basic instincts and using their emotions as tools that ply the votes out of somewhat uneducated voters not aware of the power of Frank Luntz talking points. These are in my opinion are the jesters.

Glenn Beck is a worse Andy Kaughman

For money on a teevee network which has no concern for our country's well being, yet will play political positions against each other to make money. Much like Goldman Sachs pushed our economy to the edge, so is Roger Ailes and Glenn Beck. Only, when Andy did it, it was for humor and now we have someone using satire for political gain and in the process making huge amounts of money and not caring what the consequences of their actions result in. They play with our emotions and beliefs and I view Fox in a different light, it is all play to them. Much of America is going to feel used in the end. Watch.



Proves my point.


And point made again.

This morning at work..Spring in the Adirondacks

This is what I'm dealing with today and I am hoping that the snow does not effect my golf game on Saturday when it is supposed to be 70, today, 34.

Shitty Shitty Shitty Shitty

We can now use one of the words you could previously not say on teevee, hope and change I can get behind.

How long before the whole list can be voiced on our teevee's? I'm thinking that if it was crucial to Republicans regaining control of congress, next week. With Democrats in charge, 4015.

Why Do All The Immature Citizens Get On The News Shows

What I find as odd in my mind is, the baggers, birthers, ??????ers and the select members of congress who lie, misspeak, curry favor with those that provide an allowance [$] and have no problem saying anything on tv or be quoted in print that is 180 degrees from the opinions of the people who elected them to elected office. Look around and it affects local school boards, county officials, state representatives and goes all the way to the congress and the Presidency itself, current POTUS excepted.

It seems as though all of these people are living lives with adult bodies and grade school minds. Do the minimum do get your allowance, think of today as the most important day in their lives, give no thought about the future, and when reprimanded by the voters throw a hissy fit and seek revenge. Trip them as they walk, spread untrue and damaging rumors about them, lie when the truth would be a better [for the country] choice, tell people you don't like to "fuck off", refuse to acknowledge facts that disprove their own opinions [what the fuck does the old guy know] and act like any baby sitter's worst nightmare. These are the folks we trust with billions of our contributed dollars and the laws that govern our country.

When? When? Are we as a country going to...GROW UP!

You know as usual lately, the people who are protesting about illegal immigrants being here and earning a paycheck have failed to do any research and have acted in the usual shoot from the hip fashion.

There are supposedly 10.5 million folks of various ethnic groups working, living and, yes paying taxes in most cases here living within our borders. Because it seems that when when your local dairy farm, ski area or whatever hires some and they complete an I-9 with a fictitious social security number the money is paid by the employer to the Social Security Administration's saving account these funds will never find their way to those people who in fact paid the money.

Let's run the math on that. Lets say that 50% of the illegals pay into SS, well 5 million people a week pay, what $10.00 a week, that's $50,000,000.00 [approx]. Times 52 weeks is what? A large amount of money with many zero's.

Do you see what I see?

It seems that immigration reform might actually provide SS with less dollars to pay those of us who have paid in all these years. And I am somewhat sure that if you asked many of these people who work in our country with fake SS cards they would say keep the money, I'm just happy to have a job.

You know it is getting to a point where if a Tbagr told me is was sunny out, I would reflexively reach for my rain coat.

Garbage in garbage out

This a pure lilly...




My take on what the President said today is that we need a system that prevents garbage in [no doc and no loan originator responsibilty mortgages] and garbage out and this will provide Wall Street with a pure supply of mortgages and other types of loans with whch they can can bundle and sell at a profit.

All he wants to do is purufy the supply of otems or vehicles that Wall Street sells to the rest of the world. Whats wrong with that?

I think Fluff saw something and was let go because of it and Steve was brought in with the stipulation of silence. Just my opinion, but Fluff is a Mainer and they don't take to that type of behavior and he also might have commented on what it might do to the game.

[Following the Nissan Open in February 1999, he was released by Woods for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Steve Williams of New Zealand]

Damn Yankee Fans

Two boys are playing hockey on the pond on Boston Common, when one is attacked by a vicious Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy took his hockey stick and managed to wedge it down the dog's collar and twist, luckily breaking the dog's neck and stopping its attack.

A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy.

"Young Bruins Fan Saves friend from Vicious Animal..." he starts writing in his notebook.

"But, I'm not a Bruins Fan," the little hero replied. "Sorry, since we're in Boston, I just assumed you were," said the reporter and starts again.

"Red Sox Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific attack..." he continued writing in his notebook.

"I'm not a Red Sox fan either!" The boy said.

"I assumed everyone in Boston was either for the Bruins or the Red Sox. So, what team do you root for?" the reporter asked.

"I'm a Yankees fan!" the child beamed. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes:

"Little Bastard from New York Kills Beloved Family Pet."

Working His Pay Plan

Although he has caused much pain and suffering you cannot blame a man for working his pay plan, who doesn't? It might be wrong and you should blame our government not the man. Yet, there are those that will demegogue the issue and just move on. The fools are us as we allow it to continue. You can rail all you want about to big to fail, a government stickup or call it whatever you want but in the end he was working within the guidelines we as a country gave him and he pushed no boundries and broke no laws. It is our responsibity to provide the location of those guidelines so it does not happen again. Gonna happen? We'll see.
