I couldn't let this Sharon things go without a comment. You know the Woman fired in a haste after the partial video clip hit the news.

First of all;

She wasn't a life long employee of the usda. She was hired last year it seems.

She was hired because she was the squeaky wheel in the in a civil rights lawsuit I think.

She thinks there is a class war in the country between the haves and the have nots, it seems to be a redistribute the wealth kind of thing. I have no wealth to redistribute and I don't need anyone else's, so I have no dog in that fight.

The one thing I came out of this with is how terrified grown men and women are of Fox news. The "You are going to be on Glenn Beck tonight," comment is a hoot. Damage control is not a pretty thing.

Will this all trace back to the 'Boss'? Heck no. Not that he is above being terrified of Fox. Just that it is too minor a thing for him to make the decision about. Would he have made the same one I doubt it. Most likely he would have called everyone together and tried to make nice. Which in this case would have been a good idea.

What this shows is how every decision at the moment is based on trying to save the left's new poster boy. So guys beware you can keep them on Defense if you play your cards right. Just remember not to let them trace any of this back to the tea party movement. That is there big scape goat now since 'Blame it on George' is wearing thin.

life in General

When a man is ready to retire and decides to go out in a way that will make a difference to his mission, I have to respect that. General Mcchrystal most likely saved many American Soldier and Marine lives. I am sure the new general would not take the job, unless he could change those stupid rules of engagement. So for that the country owes the man a debt of gratitude and he has mine.

But the sad part is what will happen to his staff for their part in the enlightenment of us all. Those men threw away their careers for us all. I don't know their names but they are even more heroic than the general. He was ready to go out, they just gave up their lives to save future soldiers. Thank you Gentlemen.

Government Regulation of Bank credit practices

Okay I'm selfish, but so are the guys who wanted credit reform. They want the banks to stop penalizing them for their irresponsibility with credit cards.

First of all this political motivated reform is all crap. Why? you ask. Well folks the banks have to make x amount of money to stay in business and pay their stock holders. It is going to come from someone.

So the democrats are going to force them to shift the profit, which the banks have to have, from the abusers of the credit system and onto those of us who do not abuse it. It's another one of those, "We will treat you like your mother" so vote for us ideas of the Dems.

What it really means is no free checking or savings accounts for those of us who are smart enough to live within our means. Now we get to pay for those who don't. Wait that's what the democratic government run government is famous for.

So still glad you voted democratic.

Oil in the Gulf of Mexico

BP is screwed. They are in containment mode now. Go along to get along until the oil stops spewing that's when the tough negotiations begin. There will be abuse and misappropriation of the 20Bil no doubt. Frankly there always is. The people who need the help will be the ones short changed. That is my prediction.

In the meantime the Gulf coast is screwed. All this is stop gap measures. It's going to be cleanup, not containment that is in their future. That and endless litigation. Trial lawyers will get rich on this I'm sure.


Every time they turn around in DC they throw more people out of work. Is it going to end with everyone being on the govt payroll somehow. We make nothing except paper money that has nothing to prop it up, and is worth less and less each day.

They should have taken control of the blown out well on day one. Called in the experts and pumped drilling mud into the thing as soon as possible. The let BP screw around trying to save the well, while they created havoc with the environment all along the gulf coast, was just plain stupid. Yes hindsight is 20/20, but that was a mistake. Now lets see if they own up to it. They bitched about Bush not owning up to his mistakes, lets see if the messiah admits his. You can not let a company screw around trying to save their profits, when it is a disaster.

On a different note... Nashville natural disaster big time. No looting no killing no hell raising at all. Different folks, and a different mayor maybe there is something in that.

The Arizona law. Nobody has read it but everyone is commenting on it. From what I can tell it really just says, we are going to start doing what we should have been doing all along. The government for many years both sides of the political spectrum have been avoiding it.

The homeless shelter here in town had an illegal alien once. They called the immigration office in Charlotte to ask them to come get the guy. He was in trouble of some kind. The Immigration service told the shelter people to bring him to Charlotte or let him go.

The obama story about his aunt and then the little girl in the school whose mother was illegal are examples of the same thing. Some of the aliens just aren't worth the trouble that it would cause to deport them. That is the attitude that is going to cause us all to learn Spanish just to order a cheeseburger

Tis the season

When we all get to be authorities on everything. It's the grand election cycle again. This time for control of the congress. It looks to me like it will be mostly new people. The question is will they be Democrats or Republicans.

Will we the people send back clones of the old guys or try something new. I read the election results of last night with great interest. I also read the comments by so called ordionary folks about the election results.

From the comments that the media is choosing to float around, it appears that most of the black Americans think that conservatives want to bring back slavery I think they believe that every tea party candidate has somehow embedded in their speeches some kind of subliminal message, "Vote for me and pick your own slave". That is the most asinine thing I have ever heard. If you want to control spending the government has to get it's house in order. If you want to get the house in order, it means less give away programs as well as many other things. So does less give aways = slavery somehow. If that is true in people's minds, what kind of thing does that say about our electorate. Are we going to be like Greece, riots in the streets because we have gone bankrupt and can't continue to give away the keys to the treasury.

Where the hell is the sense that we are all in this together gone. We have become a nation of self indulged sheep, ready and willing to be sheered by our government. Come on we the people wake up, we need to sacrifice and we need to do the right thing. The right thing is often painful but it is still the right thing.

And to be honest in this economy, I couldn't afford a slave and I doubt that a majority of the other people in this country could either, so get a grip guys. You can finally be happy with the fact that, We really don't want you.
