In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

This You Should Watch

This video is wrong in so many ways. I could write for a long time about how it is, but I'll only list a few:

1. After Katrina, the Federal Government did everything but fly over New Orleans and shovel hundred dollar bills out the doors. Suggesting it was receiving less aid because of race is not only wrong, it's a blatant lie.

2. After saying he didn't pay much attention to the pastor of his church, it's ironic that he made such a strong effort to point out how important he was in his life.

3. While it may seem important to forego expenditures in the suburbs for highways in order to use more funds for inner city infrastructure and business, I wonder how he thinks the supplies and customers for the inner city are supposed to arrive at these locations? Another thing: He was a sitting Senator when this speech was made. Where is the legislation he introduced to address the problems he felt were so important?

4. What's the deal with the accent? Could it be an effort to fool the listeners?

Before Obama ever became President, I didn't find anything in his speeches, or news reports that clarified what he stood for, or his plans for the United States. Apparently, his campaign was releasing transcripts, which were only printouts of speeches and not what was actually said. Otherwise, the media was asleep at the wheel, or outright hiding certain parts of speeches to prevent the U.S. population from making decisions on their own.

If you don't feel betrayed, you're dumber than a box of rocks, or you're a progressive shill.

Can You Say Inane?

The Weather Channel decided to start naming winter storms. I'm guessing this is important to those folks, but to most everyone else, it's pretty easy to remember a few digits, as in dates, for future reference about a storm

If they insist, I say we name them after alcoholic beverages. That way nobody will be offended when their name is used in blaming an avalanche that destroys a bunch of stuff.  

The Quandary of Corruption

Obama would rather kill a few diplomats, or federal agents, than have his legacy tarnished. Now, he's reached a quandary: Should he just be honest and let the laws on the books determine the proper course, or should he offer to pay the legal costs of those that don't follow the laws to do what he want's them to do? 

This brings up another quandary: Should these contractors take part in this illegal activity, or should they think of the repercussions when Obama is out of office and the new administration start investigating corruption?

I guess we'll find out when the foreign media reports on what happened. The alphabet media wouldn't dare do their job and report the news.

I Don't Know About You....

...but I don't have the money.

"...The total debt of the United States now equals approximately $136,690 per household...."

Meanwhile, the current administration wants to give substantial amount of borrowed money to Egypt and other Middle Eastern nations that don't have our best interest at heart. That, and keep on expanding giveaway programs in the United States, which includes billions to those that happen to wander across our borders. 

Can you say "fiscal irresponsibility"?  Good. I knew you could. 

Hmmmmm

The White House aide involved with "Fast and Furious" was "suddenly" transferred to Iraq. That's pretty convenient, although, if I was the aide, I'd wonder if the sudden need to be overseas would make getting rid of me substantially easier to accomplish.

Issa might want to push his legal challenges and hope he has a witness before it's all over.

Am I cynical? You bet.
