Al Gore should be universally shunned.
Despite being groomed for public office from childhood Gore is in no way a remarkable individual. Al Gore did manage to graduate college but then enlisted as he was eligible for the draft. dropped out of law school. When he was running for President supporters claims he was brilliant and George Bush a dunce. If you pointed out that Bush actually got his 2nd degree, an MBA from Harvard while Gore did not they just refused to believe Gore didn't have a law degree.
Gore served in Viet Nam as a journalist from January 2, 1971 until his Honorable discharge from the Army in May 1971. Gore then attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School from 1971 to 1972 leaving without a degree. After another short stint of journalism Gore attended Vanderbilt University Law School in 1974. Gore did not complete law school either. In 1976 when his father's former seat in the House was about to be vacated Gore ran for and won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Finally Gore found something he could finish, a campaign. He won the next three elections in 1978, 1980, and 1982 twice running unopposed, thanks a lot Tennessee. In 1984 Gore won a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Gore fell backwards into the Vice-Presidency and spent 8 years attending funerals and giving wooden speeches.
As a presidential candidate three different Al Gores showed up for debates with George W Bush. The first Al Gore was a childish cheat, sighing loudly and rolling his eyes when his opponent had the floor. After this pathetic showing Gore was on his best behavior in the second match and came off weak. Consequently he tried to act tough in the third debate leading to a comical moment when he walked up to Bush who looked at Gore and nodded, seeming to say "yes, I'm speaking but I'll be with you in a minute".
Then Al Gore tried to steal the 2000 election. After conceding defeat Gore learned that the race in Florida had been lost by a margin small enough to possibly be overcome. Some dirty tricks in my own Palm Beach County helped where 15,000 Republicans who voted for the GOP Senate candidate who lost statewide didn't vote for Bush, a mathematical anomaly that can only be explained by ballot tampering.
Although Gore failed to overturn the election he and Democrats managed to convince themselves that they were the ones who had an election stolen. Sine then Democrats have stolen the elections in Washington state and the senate election in Minnesota.
Finally, Al Gores latest sin against humanity is his specious Global Warming hoax. Gore has become a multi-millionaire touting junk science, selling carbon credits to serve that junk science. All the while demanding that others live green while he flies on private jets and lives in a home using 10 times the energy of an average family.
In short Gore has undermined Americans confidence in our electoral system, diminished our economy by pushing policies that increase the cost of energy and gotten fat and rich by doing so. Actually Al Gore is both more and less than a bore.

Obama Channels Stalin
Obama touting the success of his "reset" of America's relationship with Russia is a lot like the easiest girl in high school touting her "popularity". President Obama who has not hesitated to bow to other leaders and apologize for America's existence appears to think that he can have diplomatic success by ingratiating himself with other leaders. However, quoting Stalin by referring to WWII as "The Patriotic War" was a bit over the top.
The Democrats have falsely blamed Bush for an erosion of our "relations" with Russia. Any space between the two nations was actually caused by bad actions on the part of Putin. Trifles like invading Georgia and selling weapons to Iran. Why should Putin or his puppet Medvedev behave when they know any outrageous thing they do will be blamed on Bush.
I suppose the Obama Administration has to point to some diplomatic success. Since Obama has taken office most of America relationships with our best allies have suffered. Also, the Obama policy of reaching out to the bad guys, Iran, North Korea and others has not born any fruit. Well he may have sold a few more books. These liberal peace-nicks never learn. You simply cannot schmooze a dictator into being a good actor on the world stage. Of, course, I am assuming, maybe falsely, that Obama wants world leaders to behave. Our President may have another agenda.

Told Ya So...
Loan ago I suggested that, if elected President, Barack Obama would be the first black Jimmy Carter. Since then Obama was elected, the American economic situation continued to erode and unemployment increased sharply. Now Obama has had his "Amy Moment". In a recent press conference, the first in over 300 days, the President used one of his daughters to demonstrate his dedication to solving this problem. "Did you plug the hole Daddy?" Will go down in history as a prime example of lame leadership.

Obama Brings in THE Expert
If you need to tell the American People a lie and a big one at that you need to bring in an expert to close the sale. Congressman Joe Sestack said the White House offered him a job to stay out of the Democrat primary for Pennsylvania's senate seat currently held by Arlen Specter. That sort of back room horse trading did not sit well with the public and multiple questions have been asked. What was the job? Who made the offer? As the cacophony of questions increased the Obama Administration realized that their statements that "nothing illegal or unethical had occurred" wasn't going to quash this controversy. President Obama did not answer these questions but announced that a "statement from his administration" would be forth coming.
On the Friday afternoon before Memorial Day Week-end that statement was rolled out. The "job" offered was suddenly an unpaid consultants position. The offer that Sestack said came from the "White House" had been filtered through former President Clinton. Clearly this is not what actually happened. It is a shame that Joe Sestack has had to agree to this public sham. Also one has to ask what did the Obama administration offer Bill Clinton to get his assistance in this attemp to "Punk" America.
I would have gone another way. Since it appears this all took place prior to Joe Sestack entering the primary it may not be illegal. If they had gotten him to drop out of an election the way Bill Clinton got Bob Torricelli to step aside to allow room for Frank Lautenberg, that is a blatant illegal action. Why didn't we ever investigate that turn of events? Perhaps that is why Clinton was the go to guy for this latest cover up of totally unethical and possibly illegal electioneering.

Specter of Arlen Haunts No More
One of my disagreements with the Bush Administration was it's support of Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey six years ago. Now at long last the nation is free of this party hopping, self serving, political hack! I do not support people staying in office for decades even when they are conservatives. It seems our representatives become less and less responsive to the electorate the longer they lounge in Washington, DC. I have my doubts about Rand Paul but agree with him on the solution to most of the countries ills, TERM LIMITS!
Arlen Specter was elected to the Senate in 1980 after an already long political career. He has been no statesman and the Senate and the nation will be better off without him. That may sound harsh Arlen but you had a good long run, you are a cancer survivor, relax and enjoy your retirement.

Sweet Dreams?
When I fell asleep my satin sheets
were clinging to my moistened flesh.
My cheeks were flushed, lips bruised and crushed
my heart was pounding in my breast.
I awoke near dawn to find you gone.
The realization left me quite distressed.
Your impassioned kiss, was a smothered wish
and it seems that I had dreamed the rest.

To VAT or Not to VAT
I would support a VAT Tax ONLY if it replaced an Income Tax. However, I am surrounded by retired liberal neighbors who vote for all the "government goodies" that those of us still working pay for through our taxes. I would enjoy seeing them begin to contribute again, involuntarily with a tax on every matinee movie, early bird buffet and seniors cruise they purchase. It would be especially sweet as this would be done to them by the politico's they support.

Your Heart May Be In The Right Place...
I apologize in advance for the slightly harsh sound of the following statement directed at all my liberal friends and acquaintances.
Your heart may be in the right place but your head is up your a**.
Some times you need to be a little harsh to get your point across especially when the emotionally mushy thinking of a minority of Americans threatens our future. President Bush coined the term "Compassionate Conservative". Lets look how that turned out for our nation. The conservative GWB brought us tax cuts that brought our economy back from the Clinton recession and allowed it to bounce back quickly from the September 11th attacks. Those tax breaks fueled 60 consecutive months of job growth. The media endlessly portrayed the Bush economy as weak and the tax breaks as benefiting only the "rich". The media completely overlooked the facts. The economy was strong and the Bush tax cuts moved more of the tax burden to the nations top earners, increasing the percentage of Americans who paid no income tax at all.
President Bush had less success with his "compassionate" policies. The Medicare drug benefit was very compassionate and something Democrats had promised for two decades. I was against it, AARP was for it and the President proposed it and got it passed. It was a huge expensive new entitlement and we are stuck with it for eternity even as it accelerates the bankruptcy of Medicare. Any thank you's from our senior citizens? I haven't heard any.
In an effort to beat back the endless media charges of heartlessness the Bush Administration threw millions after millions down the post Katrina rat hole that is Louisiana. Bush was too kind to point out that the folks next door in Mississippi managed through the same storm without blaming their own lack of preparation and execution of emergency measures on the President. Every American tax payer will be paying for the government largess ladled on Louisiana for years to come. Although the voters of Louisiana were gullible enough to re-elect their incompetent Senator and mayor of New Orleans they did choose a better Governor and might eventually recover from Katrina.
Hysteria is seldom productive. The desire to "do something" that is so urgent that we do not consider whether the "something" will make the situation better or worse is always a mistake. When 51% of the American people voted for "Change" without understanding exactly what sort of changes we would get resulted in the mistake which resides at 1600 Pensylvania Ave NW.

No Boom Obama?
During the campaign and early in the Obama Administration our new President has said that he wants to stop the "boom and bust" cycle to our economy. Do you really want to live in an America that never has another economic boom?

Jeanane You Ignorant Slut!
That title may sound harsh but it is stolen from an old SNL skit. Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtain did this hysterical Point Counterpoint bit where Dan always opened his comments with "Jane you ignorant slut". If only Ms. Garofalo was half as funny.
Rosie O'donnell has a radio show, who knew? O'Donnell recently took a career risk and had Jeanane Garofalo as a guest. This was either brave or stupid as Ms. G was instrumental in shepherding the long slow death of Air America failure. These two first directed their uninformed venom on Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Ms. G described Hasselbeck as "anti-intellectual" and "not compassionate". Ms. G went on to say that Hasselback has a "ridiculous take on religion"and is a "very limited person". Rather uncool to publicly bad mouth someone who isn't there to defend herself. I don't know a whole lot about Ms Hasselbeck but I have observed that she is something these two will never be, a lady.
These two shrews then moved on to Rush Limbaugh and his listeners and that is when they began talking about me. Ms O referred to Rush as a "junkie" and asked how he could have such an important voice after being exposed as a "junkie". First words have meaning and a junkie is a drug addict, usually addicted to heroin, someone who smokes crack might also qualify. A middle aged man who because of back pain became addicted to prescription pain killers would not qualify as a "junkie". Ms. O & Ms. G were exhibiting a shocking lack of compassion, an accusation they had just leveled at Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Hypocrites!
So, since Ms. G has stated her opinion of me I would like to express my opinion of her. First Ms. G is a liar. This isn't really an opinion because she did actually lie making my statement a fact. Ms. G said prior to our invasion of Iraq which she opposed that if the American troops were welcomed as "Liberators" she would apologize to President Bush for her strident opposition. We were in fact welcomed as liberators. It didn't last a real long time but it did happen, You may recall film of an Iraq man slapping a mural of Sadam Hussain with his sandal saying "Thank you Mr. Bush!".
Ms G may not know what makes someone a fan of Rush Limbaugh but I don't know what made the guys who make 24 cast her as a second and unnecessary Cloe? It was truly bazaar, she was a second Cloe, a little meaner but basically the very same character. Jeanane, you are not unaccomplished. I thought the truth about Cats & Dogs was a charming film. However, you are not many of the things you think you are. You are not an intellectual despite the Tina Fey glasses. You are not a kind or thoughtful person. What you are Ms G is a very angry woman who never hesitates to be vulgar.
I am sorry that you live in a world where you are forced to maintain a lower weight than your body naturally gravitates toward. I know that it must be very hard for you to live your life never feeling full. Please either give it up and go back to being chubby (look at Rosie) or fill that void with something else. Try love for your fellow man, or a man. Oh, I just thought of another possible cause for your recent decade of being in a bad mood.

Religion in America
Religion, or at least a firm belief in the existence of a creator is in America. It is woven into every ideal that was used to create our great union. The Jews were Gods chosen people but the American people chose God.
Our founding fathers were not all Christians, some were Jewish and some claimed no specific religion but they shared a common vision. They created for us a nation that allowed freedom of religion among many freedoms. The single guiding principle was that power comes not from government but from the people. Government was a necessary evil which was to have only the powers the governed would allow.
We should really try to get back to the founding principles and get government out of our daily lives.

It's a Cold Cold World this Winter
The following are all recent headlines with a link to the story if you want to know more. The point is that the "warming period" our Northern Hemisphere experienced from 1980 to 1998 has truly ended and the time to shut down the "Global Warming Hysteria" is come. Hurry before these maniacs destroy our economy further with "Cap & Trade" and before Obama & Hillary make good on their promise to divert 100 billion to 3rd world countries to elevate global warming.

Al-Qa'ida & Athiests
This Christmas we have had to put up with al-Qa'ida trying to blow us up and atheists trying to deny us our reason for the season. I can't begin to understand what convoluted thought process allows people to believe that killing innocent strangers of another faith will bring them closer to their God. Consequently they need not be understood, they must simply be stopped.
The atheist are another story. They are like the obnoxious older child who couldn't wait to tell you there was no Santa Clause. They feel superior because they know better, at least they think they know better. They are like the woman I knew who rushed to my side one night when I entered a big party. I was surprised to see her hurry my way we weren't very close but she had a purpose. This woman wanted to be the first to tell me that another acquaintance of ours had died the night before. I am still taken back a bit by her enthusiasm. Who wants to be the bearer of bad news? Well, atheists I guess.
Atheists want to assure you that your faith in God is misplaced. The thing that gives your life purpose, guides your behavior and brings you comfort is a fake. How do atheist know there is not God? They say God does not exist because His existence cannot be proven. If only everyone would be as skeptical of man-made global warning. Being unable to prove something does not automatically prove the opposite. There are many unanswered questions in our world. We do not know all there is to know about how our world was created, how it all works and when and how it will all cease to exist.
So, the ACLU makes us push our Nativity scene to the side to make way for "Heathens Greetings" and billboards stating "Yes Virginia there is no God". If you want to spread the news that there is no God wouldn't April first be a better choice? Atheists believe faithful people have been duped so they should run their ads on April Fools Day. "Believe in God? April Fools!" That would be much more appropriate but unnecessary, people lose faith every day without any prompting. Christ Himself lost faith for a moment on the cross when he asked "Why have You forsaken me?"
If atheists are so confident in their anti-faith and want to open the eyes of others they are free to do so. However to insist on doing so during the most joyous time of the year, well I'm sorry but you are just being a jerk, and that is something which can be proven.

If atheists are so confident in their anti-faith and want to open the eyes of others they are free to do so. However to insist on doing so during the most joyous time of the year, well I'm sorry but you are just being a jerk, and that is something which can be proven.

Fair & Balanced? Damn Right They Are!
To all of you who rail against Fox News and claim that they are not "fair and balanced" step off! I know that it is shocking to you aficionados of CBS ABC CNN and worst of all MSNBC to hear the conservative view on any subject but 40% of this nation identify themselves as conservatives. Take that you 23% of self described liberals.
Firstly with the acquisition of John Stossel Fox News now has all of the Conservatives in broadcast media but that is only because they are not welcome at other networks. Secondly I can prove Fox News is fair and balanced. If they are not reporting the liberal side too why do I have to mute and fast forward thru the opinions of Bob Beckel, Geraldo Rivera, Ellis Hennigan, Geraldine Ferraro and Ellen Ratner (whom I like to say "puts the "rat" in Democrat" since the day she said she hoped we would lose in Iraq to prevent President Bush being reelected).
Try having opposing views to your own shoved in your face daily as conservatives have done for 30 years and you'll may develop some perspective. At any moment if I am watching a movie or TV show, listening to music or reading anything a liberal poison dart may strike. I once read an anti President Bush comment in a restaurant review in the Palm Beach Post. So suck it up you sniveling little liberals about conservatives having one news channel and most of talk radio as their tiny oasis from 24-7 liberal indoctrination.

Liberals Never Learn
After the debacle of the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui's any one who was paying attention knows that a criminal trial for a terrorists is a bad idea. Moussaoui turned his trial into a circus When we tried "the blind sheik" we spent millions, gave a maniac a platform to spew his venom and released to the world the names of all the terrorists we knew about. On that list was Usama bin Laden and I'm sure he appreciated the "heads up" that we provided.
Our judicial system only works if all parties have some skin in the game. When you have a defendant who does not care if he is convicted he can really throw a wrench into the works. When Khalid Sheik Mohammed's was captured in Pakistan he said he would not tell us anything "until he arrived in New York and had an attorney". The Bush Administration had the good sense to not send him to New York. Instead, we splashed some water in his face and he sang like a canary. We got a lot of good information from KSM that allowed us to capture other terrorists and save innocent lives.
The Obama Administration lacks that "good sense". Egg-headed intellectual types are notorious for having high minded ideas that NEVER work well in the real world. KSM will use this opportunity to put the United States on trial and terrorists don't play fair. KSM will lie, cheat and do anything he can come up with to use the world stage Eric Holder has given him. The trial could take years and the expense will be unprecedented. New York will be more of a target for terrorists then ever.
This is the worst plan the Obama Administration has come up with yet.

A Poem Written by my Niece
In His Green Chair
In his green chair he sits and stares,
Remembering times of despair.
Watching his westerns and the news,
Guns ablaze as John Wayne fights through,
Reminding him of the warfare.
He is my grandpa. And he cares
In his silence with loving glares,
Sits a tail gunner from World War III
In his green chair.
He saved many lives in the air
And lost more friends then I could bear.
He fought for our country, me, and you,
Representing red, white, and blue.
Sitting, after much wear and tear,
In his green chair.

Cereal Bowl Backlash
I don't eat cereal, I'm not a child. I remember a study a few years back that claimed "people who have cereal for breakfast are healthier than those who do not". Of course they are! Not because of the cereal but because they do what is expected of them. Cereal is for breakfast so that is what they eat. I assure you these are the people who wait an hour after eating before they swim. They look both ways before they cross the street they are going to outlive their less boring counterparts.
But I digress. It isn't cereal eaters that have got me steamed it is cereal bowls. I have lived for over fifteen years with a man who likes to have a bowl of cereal before bed nearly every night. It has never been much of a problem. I have no idea why a man who conscientiously rinses out his wine glass and places it in the sink drainer each evening has to leave his cereal bowl in the sink. There it sits the next morning with it's little spoon and the inevitable traces of left behind sweetened milk. Oh well, such is my lot in life and if this had been the extent of it you would never have heard a complaint from me, but things have gotten worse, much worse.
I now have three cereal eating people in my home. One person is very likely to rinse her bowl and spoon and place them in the dishwasher. Two can't seem to do this simple task. So, now when I get up in the morning I have a bowl to rinse and put in the dishwasher and if I go off to work or out to run errands there is a very good chance another bowl will appear in the sink while I am gone. No matter how clean I leave the kitchen there is a good chance that when I return a bowl and a spoon will be there to greet me. With a small puddle of milk just mocking me. Damn you cereal bowl, damn you to hell.

Autumn 2009This is the year that my nieces will be
fourteen and fifteen and taller then me.
I cannot describe how lovely they are,
a blessing, a gift, a wish on a star.
Two pretty pink little bundles of joy,
nobody minded neither was a boy.
We thought them perfect but we've had to wait.
to see at what they would be good or great.
They grow more precious with each passing year,
continuing to amaze and endear.
Where will the future take our two beauties?
Somewhere great, you can bet your petutties.

In Some Cases Even Switzerland Cannot Be Neutral
There are some actions that are just beyond the pale like drugging and sexually abusing a thirteen-year-old girl. Roman Polanski took a child to a party at Jack Nicholson's house and gave her Quaaludes and alcohol. Polanski took advantage of the girl having sexual intercourse and sodomizing the child. These acts are not alleged, Polanski plead guilty to a reduced charge of "illegal sex with a minor"in 1977.
This was a shameful situation all around. Shame on that child's parents for allowing her to go anywhere alone with Polanski. Shame on Jack Nicholson for condoning such behavior in his home. Shame on all the enlightened nitwits who defend Polanski. Apparently they cannot grasp the concept that a good director can also be a monster and the work does not excuse the evil.
Polanski fled the United States to avoid arrest and incarceration for his heinous acts. He has lived well for 32 years in France where it is considered unsophisticated to hold artist to any standards of decency. Now he has been arrested and there is a chance that he will finally receive the punishment he deserves. In a bit of irony the much celebrated Polanski was taken when he appeared to accept an award.
