This’n That

   Anyone read ‘Profiles in Courage’?  JFK’s book.  It seems that title fits precisely to the senators in WI who have slunk their way out of the state.  I have no clue what the end result will be; if history repeats, the Republicans will probably fold, but… it seems to me since the governor campaigned on this very issue, the people have spoken.  You don’t take your ball and go home just because things are not going your way. 

   I continue to be amazed at recent polls showing former President Ronald Reagan as the most popular ex president.  I can clearly remember how the left in this country, and hence the mainstream press despised President Reagan.  They openly called him dumb.  I must gall them to see the results of these recent polls.  I enjoy them immensely. 

   Dunno how things will shake out in the Middle East but one thing is for absolute sure;  the price of oil is gonna go UP!!  And the kicker?  The administration is preventing oil drilling in this country.  And not a peep from our illustrious media.  We are gonna be a suffering folks, and plenty soon.  And… we may end up with Gadhafi close by in Venezuela.  What a treat.

   You should notice after all the uprising in Egypt has died down, the Google fellow has been strangely quiet.  He had been given big credit for being ‘the instigator’ of the revolution.  In the aftermath, he is silent.  What about all this new freedom?  I suspect, in the end (you pick the country), things will return to dictatorships of one sort or another.  I’m betting a good steak dinner.
