Obama a one-term president?
Very interesting reading here. Face it, I am not the only one that thinks the government giving away money is bad for me, you and the economy. But for some reason, our president and all the democrats really believe the way out of all the problems is to spend like there is no tomorrow! How giving money to companies that cheated us, companies who pay bonuses to the same people who lost billions, and banks who did not follow the rules and lost money is going to solve the problems is beyond idiocy.
This is just an excerpt from what I just read. There is a link below to read the full article. I am thinking that the real brains are those NOT in government service and that the non-brains in government should be listening to these people and getting advice and a schooling. But then, that would show our president and the democrats as actually having a brain.
Things I learned Tuesday night from President Obama’s press conference:
Obama and congressional Democrats are angry that greedy Wall Street executives took $165 million in bonuses that the president and congressional Democrats gave them.
We have made them give it back, but they have to keep the trillion-dollar bailout.
Apparently, our education system is worse than we thought. Neither the president nor Democrats in Congress actually read the bailout-bonus bill.
Per-family household debt more than doubled from 1989 to 2007, going from $42,000 per family to $97,000 per family, in inflation-adjusted dollars. Most of it, 85 cents of every dollar, is home equity or mortgage debt. This is not the consumer’s fault for borrowing it, nor Congress’ fault for legislating it, nor the Fed’s fault for enabling it, nor Fannie Mae’s or Freddie Mac’s fault for packaging it. This is all Wall Street’s fault.
It is also all George W. Bush‘s fault.

Today was a nice day. Sunny most of the time, but that wind kept it very chilly outside. Opening a westward facing window would have cooled down our place real fast. Now the past two days, the weather service says our town got a little over 2 inches of rain. I know they estimate it, but geesh, think they would actually call or visit people in our town and ask what our rain gauges measured. Just checking with two neighbors, the rain gauges showed over 3 1/2 inches of rain. Oh well, we know how much rain we got even if the weather service doesn’t.

And I see that the US Postal Service, of which I retired from a bit over 4 years ago, is losing a ton of money and needs help. Bah, they should know that the congress is not going to help them. After all, thanks to former presidents Reagan and Clinton (and no help from Bush) the USPS has been a steady cash cow, relieving the government of a lot of spending. It was bound to catch up with the government, and I do hope the president and congress will help the USPS in their problems by reversing a few acts of the previous administrations.

A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day.
She wasn’t unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around furtively, then speak to them. If they seemed to respond negatively, there would be a quick exchange, she would nod and then wander off. The couple assumed she she was a cop, but since they didn’t know for sure they just continued to watch her.
“Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?” He hadn’t and said so.
He said “I’m going to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she’s really doing.”
The wife was hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. She ran down to the beach and asked her husband to give her the full story.
The man grinned and said, “She’s a battery salesperson.”
“Batteries?”cried the wife.
“Yes,” he replied.!
OOOOOOOH!!!!!!, said the wife. “She sells C cells down by the sea shore.”

Today started up a new blog. The blog will be one where I will be posting domains that are available to register. No, you will not be buying from me, but rather going to your favorite registrar and registering the domain or domains you see in the lists that you want. The lists will be domains that have been dropped. Most of the lists will be domains that have a keyword in them, like “blog” is the theme today. Great list of domains now there if you are looking for a nice domain for a blog. Bookmark my new blog so you can come back often to see the new available domain lists I post.
