Hillary and Distractions

I think it's great they finally got her in front of some congressional committees. It's a good distraction from all the progressive canaries talking about abolishing the Second Amendment, with gun sales out the roof and states telling the to go suck eggs.

The Inauguration is Over

Now that the fanfare, parties and balls are over, it's time for the administration to go back to playing golf, wasting money by flying Air Force One all over hell's half acre for no reason, hiding criminal acts and wallowing in incompetency. I think the new slogan is "forward", which is ironic, since the entire country is obviously going backwards.

What He Should Have Said

I've listened to snippets of the inaugural address today. Personally, it was more empty words with promises of progressive meddling. Otherwise, the shit was deep and the spreaders were enamored with their self-importance.

What should have been said:

"...We've reached a point in our destiny were self-reliance is most important. With that in mind, the development of energy independence is paramount and the development of all energy sources - including hydrocarbons - will be my goal for the next four years. 

How shall we accomplish this? With a strong effort to relieve excessive regulations on those that develop and produce energy. My goal is to make the greatest country in the world a shining example of self-sufficiency and fiscal responsibility. It's our heritage and a continuance of the efficient industry our ancestors developed. Energy independence will help with financial security and remove the reliance on foreign nations that can't even protect those that help with their own energy development. 

Now, we need to bow our heads and pray for the families of the Americans killed by terrorists in Algeria. While we can't change what has passed, we can change what is to come and never expose our fine citizens to the same dangers ever again..."

I can wish. A good man would have those goals. We don't have a good man in the White House. May our future leaders never make the same mistakes.

A local man was one of those killed in Algeria. It was heartbreaking to hear his daughter try to explain her sorrow. Her tears and sobs were the same I've experienced when close family members were killed way before what we perceived was their time.

I'll pray for the family tonight. It's all I can do and I'm sure it will not be enough.

A New Obsession

I have a short story brewing, which I'll have to write, or it won't stop occupying my thoughts. That's the part of writing fiction that can be a little disconcerting. The idea will occupy my thoughts, the characters will develop and I'll eventually write the story. Until then, the story will be an obsession.

I Don't Have Much To Write About....

....except after a week of constant clouds, drizzle, rain, cold winds, treacherous traffic and a general feeling that winter was setting in, the clouds broke and it was around 55 degrees today, with sunny skies. That's a good change, although we needed the rain.
