Paranoid and not smoking

Every time President Obama gives a speech, I feel as if I am being followed. In his speech last night the president mentioned two things important to me: 1. Being able to access broadband from my rural home. I currently drive 10 miles one way to access broadband. There is a fiber optic line in front of my home since Katrina. 2. Solving our dependency on oil without polluting our nation. I refuse to become of the group that will turn this nation into China for a dollar. Then again China is investing in its transportation infrastructure. We have people in the country, mainly Congress, who refuse to invest in our infrastructure. Why are we limiting ourselves? Why have we turned our lives over to these experts on public policy? Congress has ceased to represent all of the people. It was with hilarity that I reviewed Mitch Daniels' rebuttal to the State of the Union. Mitch Daniels served in the Bush Administration. Mitch is part of the group that created the mess we are in today. It is disingenuous for him to even suggest the feasibility of President Obama being able to rectify the economic mess left by the Bush Administration. One would expect more from the Budget Director of the Bush Administration. Then again should one expect more? Mitch continued the fear mongering ways of the Bush Administration in his rebuttal. Mitch stated Obama was attempting to divide Americans. However, I can think of no greater divide than the one created by the Bush Administration's war on Islam. We have rational Americans attempting to reach across the canyon of hatred, created by the Bush administration against Islam, to once rational Americans now scared witless. Which brings me back to my point. I am think the president is following me. Be very careful of what you post on the internet if you do not plan to stand behind your words. I on the other hand mean all that I write at the time that I write it. I need broadband at my home and I refuse to sell out my nation or the people in it. Write Congress today. Please write Congress in support of the President, in support of our nation, and in support of Americans not making 20 million per year. Please review the links. Reviewing the links makes my rants seem less crazy. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/highlights-president-obama-2012-state-union-address-000338337.html http://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-obama-pushes-plans-flopped-025127285.html http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/mitch-daniels-president-obama-divided-america-stifled-growth-014315412.html http://www.nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/Lahore/09-Jul-2011/China-to-implement-mass-transit-project http://cn.siemens.com/cms/cn/English/TS/Mobility/Press/Pages/SH,NO,ZZmetroline.aspx

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
