Various Thoughts

Remember it's the economy stupid? A famous phrase during the re-election campaign of President Clinton. Well, let me tell you... it is obviously NOT the economy these days. The Presidents poll ratings (which I don't think he cares a whit about), continue to plummet. At this early writing, I would not be surprised even a teensy bit if both houses of congress change hands in the mid-term. I'd not like it, but the Republicans have dropped the ball bigtime.

Nasty tornadic action throughout middle America - minor mention of FEMA being on the job and then nothing more. A couple of thoughts... 1) the people who lived through the devastation of one of these tornadoes are just as devastated as anyone who lived through Katrina. I wonder, are they gittin debit cards... are they being put up in hotels for a year or so? Doubt it. Forgit about it... just a tornado. 2) The fact that FEMA responded and got nary a second thought reinforces my thoughts on Katrina. This country had NEVER seen anything the likes of Katrina. No matter who had been in charge, the result would have been the same. 3) The President has had at least three high falutin types turn down the head of FEMA. Real patriots.

The Republicans in congress, BOTH house and senate are yellow. The immigration issue will be their undoing. Better to fight for what you believe than to cave to polls. Who in the sam hill is being polled by the way?

I have been one who has always stood up for the immigrant farm workers. UNTIL they start flying that mehican flag... end of my feeling... u gonna be in this country, you HONOR the flag of this country. If not? Hit the road!
