Passing Thoughts

   The results in Wisconsin and two cities in California last night have given me personally renewed hope the American people have, or are finally awakening.  I believe people are finally realizing the sense of entitlement that has been eroding this country has to be reigned in to a degree.  Scott Walker  in WI, without even laying off one employee has turned the fiscal mess around there.  He did this by very slight modifications – making people contribute just abit to their health plans etc. I feel invigorated!!

   I only have one word to describe the anchors on CNN and MSNBC last night.  DELICIOUS!  Leading up to ‘the call’, they all were excited because the exit polls said it was 50/50.  When very soon it was realized the exit polls were wrong (what’s new), the enthusiasm went out of their voices in a hurry!  It was oh so revealing.  And that was the VERY reason I was watching those channels… just to watch them eat crow.

   I get the biggest kick out of people in high places who it turns out, got there with unauthorized assists.  The  latest rendition of this is Ms. Warren who is running for the Senate from MA.  She claimed Indian heritage and reaped professional benefits because of those claims.  It is all coming out into the sunlight and people like her, especially those in government make my skin crawl.  Apparently I am not the only one… I equate this to those people in WI and CA who are waking up.  It is refreshing. Methinks Affirmative Action is going to be impacted, F I N A L L Y!!

   One more thing, again along the same lines – our local police chief just resigned.  I have supported him for many years, blindly it now seems.  He made a sexual remark to a 13 year old girl (the remark is not in question).  It was done in a public setting; at that point I wanted him OUT.  After several weeks, he submitted his resignation.  There is allot more to this story, but here is the kicker. He gets 57K per year, plus 212K for selling his unused vacation / sick leave.  A person working for a <company> would have been canned!  People are waking up!
