Insanity

Members of Congress are barred from wishing constituents Merry Christmas if the wish is in a mailing paid for by taxpayers. We truly deserve precisely what we get!

Did The President sign the payroll tax extension? If you recall, he said he would not sign if it were tied to the Keystone pipeline. Just wondering and wandering.

Shutdowns

Are you, like me no longer a believer when the jokers in Congress talk about a government shutdown? I wish just once they'd go ahead and shut it down! Please?

This’n That

   I am not too sure what to think about the loss of the drone over Iran.  This much I know.  If there is not already, there should be a way to destroy them remotely.  The loss of this technology is not a good thing.  I guess I should not worry.  President Obama has requested the return of the device.  Just saying.

   I have watched most of the debates so far.  Every time I think I have made up my mind, I listen to another debate.  I guess this is a good thing.  It gives one time to shake the trees again and again prior to deciding. 

   It is becoming clearer all the time that Fast and Furious was a government scheme with the end result more gun control.  Regardless your opinion on guns, aren’t you proud of the surreptitious actions by ‘our’ government?  Makes me abit ill inside.

   I have for many years paid for my own flu shot because I did not want to wait for them to get to the military installation I frequent.  Since turning 65 I can of course go to the drugstore and get it paid for by Medicare.  Were I to walk in off the street and get the shot, it would be between $25 and $30 American.  Upon receiving my Medicare printout I notice Medicare paid $55.00 and I have no clue if that is American or otherwise.  Isn’t this interesting?

Just Rambling

   Isn’t the media quiet regards the Occupy folks?  Must not be working for them.  Wonder just what took them so long.  Hmmm?

   I have to say I am surprised at the apparent strength of Newt. He would not have been my first choice by any means although I have said for many years he is the smartest man in the room.  He just puts his foot in his mouth often and then has to back pedal.  I just do not know what to make of it; I know only one thing. “WHOEVER” the Republican nominee is, they will get my vote over President Obama.

   I saw a funny tweet this morning I want to share – will have to paraphrase, but it said:  “how do you break up an Occupy rally? You take up a collection.”  Loved it and I am continually amazed at the workings of the human mind(s. 

   I was sickened to watch the video of the 8 year old boy telling Michelle Bachman his Mother was gay and did not need fixing.  The mother is yellow, and it turned my stomach to see her use her child in this situation.  Repulsive.

   I wonder just how many times the public will forgive Alec Baldwin.  Just an observation.  He is the epitome of the elite in this country, e.g., do as I say and not as I do. 

   Beginning to look more and more as if ‘Fast and Furious’ was a major thought out scheme to generate public opinion regards gun control legislation in this country.  But, this scheme was designed by our ‘King’ and savior, so it appears if anything is to be done about it, the congressional hearings will have to pull it out piece by piece.  Very sad.
