U.N Observers in Polling Locations

The U.N observers have decided they won't break state laws and try to "observe" the voting process. They're still whining and say it's not in line with international commitments. 

I guess I'm ignorant, but if they're worried about human rights, I think there are other places - such as North Africa and China - that require their undivided attention, in spite of the lack of  pizza and clean hotel rooms.

More Paperwork

For those that actually pay federal income tax, you now have another form to fill and submit with your tax return. It's so the I.R.S. can determine if they need to fine, tax, fine ??? you for no health insurance.

On another note, a catholic bishop thinks Bide shouldn't receive communion. I don't think Biden really cares, although I would like to see the look on his face if he's ever denied communion. I'm willing to bet he calls the priest an asshole.

Things That Change Your Thoughts

Bette Midler threw a lavish Halloween party for her charity, which brings more green space to New York City.

I'm thinking the future abandoned houses will lead to some green abandoned lots when it's all over, although those people that were struggling to find something to eat, stay warm, recoup their lives and wonder what tomorrow will bring, wouldn't have felt the spirit of the event, while they suffered only miles away.

It's one of those perspective things and the perspective of the U.S. media is to avoid covering the event. If you notice, the link is from a U.K. web site, which doesn't give a rodent's fanny about the progressive agenda of the Democrats.

Roll Up Your Sleeves and Stop Panhandling

Cuomo wants the United States to pay for ALL costs associated with recovering from Hurricane Sandy.

I'll be polite: Go screw yourself. No other state has received that deal and you won't either.

Waiting for the Heartache

The news reports are showing many people still don't have access to their homes, or property. They can't survey the damage and start the process of regaining their lives.

After Ike, it was a long time before most of the residents of the Bolivar Peninsula could return. Even when they were finally allowed back in, many found nothing left. Everything that was theirs was either in debris piles across the intracoastal canal, or a miles north near a small community across Galveston Bay.

I know a few of these people. Some rebuilt; some sold the land; all lost something that can never be replaced.

I made a few trips along the Bolivar Peninsula during the cleanup operation. It was a strange sight. Large machinery piled the debris, which was hauled away. Sand was pushed into piles and relocated. Every operation had a few dozen spotters and every truck passed under an elevated tower with spotters. Their job? Look for the bodies of people that hadn't been found.

It's a bizarre sight when the power of water literally washes everything away. Nothing remains, except sand and puddles of water. When it's miles of land and you know what once was there, it brings sobering thoughts.
