Another Day of It

Are we getting the whole story or do "they" think we are morons. In the beginning the big jump in gas, remember when it was in the $.90s??, was due to the cost of a barrel of crude. Then crude prices went up and up and gas either stayed level or, like here in the mid-west,, it actually dropped. Now the price of crude was level for a while and prices went up-that was due to the fear of some disruption or something like that. Prices for crude go up again and now gas is up again. Go figure!! my back hurts from bending over so much.

Please, Al, shut up already. I know just where to put a carbon foot print for you. A few convenient truths that are true (and not exaggerated): man has probably contributed to some warming but did it ever occur to you that there has been this ebb and flow of warm and cold for eons? Remember the ice age? Not more than 20 years ago everyone was worried about the earth cooling. It is a natural evolution-warm then cold then warm. Nothing we do or don't do will change that other than to make our lives more inconvenient and costly. I don't know about you big Al, but I don't have the money or the time to worry about a carbon foot print or buying one back or whatever they call it. I have planted a number of trees and shrubs in my back yard, does that count? Can I now drive my SUV to work? or should I walk?

What a dumb cop Peterson is. Did he not watch enough CSI and Criminal Intent to know that the spouse is ALWAYS the first one looked at, and usually the one who did it. Not to mention this is #4? Another moron on the loose soon to be put away.

Speaking of put away, I think it will be safe to mail my "I am gonna miss you" card to OJ. Sure hope they get him this time. The only down side to his going away for this latest ego trip will be, who will take up the hunt for his ex-wife's and Ron Goldman's killer? Call Cold Cases.

What is the word on your local paper? Mine is great, if you want to use it for a bird cage bottom, or to wrap trash. Aside from very limited national news, there were 31 pages without any ads in the sports section, 4 full pages of ads, and only 10 pages of news without any ads. the other pages that were supposed to be news would have only one or two articles, short ones at that and then more ads. Not long ago we had a front page full color picture with 4 or 5 columns above the fold, on a husband and wife that fish by hand. The picture was of the two of them (yes there were a few teeth to be seen, but not many) waist deep in the creek or river trying to catch fish by hand. And we wonder why we are not a major mid west city of any importance. We are not even a air line hub anymore.

I am so glad the our great congress, Senate and House, were not around back in the WWII times. Can you just imagine!! After Pearl Harbor hearing - well I voted for the war before I voted against it. Or lets fund the troops but not enough to finish the job, so the President will have to bring them home. What would have happened to a Senator or Congressman who made a speech back then claiming that the war was lost? What do you think Harry??

By the way, NO to drivers licenses or any other type of ID for illegals of any ethnicity. Isn't that called aiding and abetting? or contributing after that fact. The only ID I want to see on an illegal is the ICE ID so they can board the deportation bus. It is illegal to assist someone in the commission of a crime, and it is a crime to be in the U.S. illegally. Don't play the violin and give me the tears about the family that is left behind or the kids who will be without there father or mother. Mom and Dad should have thought about that when they came here and reproduced. There is a very humane solution to that issue-send them all back together. What would happen to you or me if, now here is a stretch, we decided to stay over from our visa or snuck over into Mexico to go live in say Playa or Cancun or any other of the resort areas. You can be sure that there would be no outcry from the Mexican politicians to give us ID cards or drivers licenses, or amnesty. We would be lucky to get a meal in the jail that they would put us in.

Remind me at my next press conference to plant some good questions to make myself look good in the eyes of the audience. First the clown in Washington at the Homeland Security or where ever he was from, and then Hillary. It would have been really great if one of the students would have agreed to do the staged question, and then sub in one of there own. That would have really been worth watching. The poor excuse for a debate, better named a sound bite bit, are not worth taking the time to waste. I need that time to catch fish by hand in the river near by.
