Stimulus Package

Senator Mitch McConnell recently indicated that he felt the first Stimulus package did not accomplish its goals of domestic assistance.. Instead of imposing a tax on the wealthy as is currently planned to fund the Afghan troops, he wants to use the second Stimulus package, soon to be applied for domestic survival, instead. Of course, if equal weight were given to his outlay of terms in a sense of Logic, with the intent of arriving at a resultant allowing his observation to have merit. It could be concluded that bringing home the Afgahn troops would prevent the tax on the wealthy and could also free up money for a third stimulus package. The one we all neede to get fat on that no one has proposed yet. "In its 2009 report, Citizens for Responsibiity and Ethics in Washington(CREW) named McConnell one of the 15 most corrupt members of congress." This is right out of "Wikipedia" go ahead and look him up.

Birthers vs Killian Documents

Discontentment has a memory that often carries a grudge. Tounge in cheek means that someone is acting as a nurotic to those that are not in on the joke. Politics being what it is can combine the two in a close to the vest private ridicule that is at best unproductive. The birthers or better said those that claim Obama isn't a citizen and therefore not president. Yes it could be the birthers are acting in retaliation to the Killian Document. That collection of papers implied that W did not finish his Guard service properly. President George W Bush had applied to school in Boston and wanted to curtail his service a few months early and got it ok'd. But listen folks we have a government that needed a special legal paper signed when President Obama recited his oath given him by a justice that tried to memorize all of it and said something wrong. People should have the experience of attending youth projects with their kids and experience the way everyone carries one another through the mud. When I think of all the time wasted on the publicity given to the birthers it makes me wonder if government isn't wastefull because the general public contains a whole lot of idiots.

Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

The citizens of Iran were in search of an honest election from their government. They did not get one. They got empathy from the rest of the free world as we cheerd them on in their use of the internet and cell phones and all things in this modern vision of "Radio Free Europe" that told the truth during the horrors of WWII. There were recent fatal hits against the ruling government of Iran, albeit lower eschelon, showing that an underground is in place . The people that want the elections to be honest would be hurt by the same sanctions that we use against the government of Iran just the same as those sanctions against Cuba. Tough people in power are able to endure hits againts those they ride rough shod over. Specific santions not yet mentioned but just a form of sabor ratteling might never be more than an embargo. I hope its obvious that tyrants are able to withstand that while they watch any glimer of hope in the ctizenry be dimmed. On the other hand there is attacking Iran but only the missle sights. We know we can do that. We also should realize that they are in our face to the point that we should not depend on Isreal to make the hit for us. Everyone laughed at Joe Beiden when he said the President would be tested toward the end of the first year and yet here we are. I hope this brings us closer together.

Comfort Levels

Hobbies are a fun pastine. They unite us with our children and give us moments of relaxation in private or contribute to our health both mentally and physically. To strive to improve at an endeavor at a measured steady pace takes dedication of purpose. The comfort level is not only doable but actually enjoyable. Now and then in our personal time the abilty to participate in what we enjoy is challenged. The flux of schedules is not really a challenge to the existance of what we enjoy but a redoubbled of efforts for that personal time we want to ourselves. It is necessary to realize the desperation of effort beyond the accustomed comfort levels just to have a life. The significant example of firing a large caliber weapon, as uncomfortable as it is, does meet the challenge. Our president did an incredible job with the short term financial crisis perhaps better than any other candidate could have. First we need water and then can we contemplate the rest of our journey. I trust his lead in healthcare as well.

Public Options

In trying to keep health care simple and digestable enough to be able to follow developments in politics on a regular basis I decided it is easier to digest with an overview tabulation of established facts. First of all there is no unity for the common good there is only the vicious fight for party rule. Second is the realization that we have actually at least two easily identified public options which are the Veterans Administration and Medicare. Future growth could be the inclusion of all veterans and families in the VA not limited to career military and wounded but all that have served. This would also boost enlistment for the all volunteer military that we now have. Medicare is assigned to expand to include more age groups below the age of 65 to perhaps 55 and perhaps even younger folks. The idea being that more competition in the marketplace with insurance companies would send cost down. Especially if the two public option are taking clients at ages that have the most illnesses. Bill Clinton did not get a Health Care bill passed because the bill did not clear a required complicated process to pass a budget status within the political arena. President Clinton's Bill was blocked due to its political vulnerability. An oversite that was caused by thinking that this Bill is for the common good of the American people and ounce explained it would be rushed through. Needless to say its vulnerability was siezed upon and killed in its tracks. However at this time the Omama Bill has already been passed through the budget requirement and only needs to be voted upon. I think the fact that its already passed allows the Bill to only need a majority vote and not the usual two thirds vote. This could really be something for the people. Health care really should be a right along with police protection and education of our children. That should be for everyone from sea to shinning sea. Immigration problems and naturalization problems and homeless problems should be dealt within their own domain and not used to form policy of a nation that is always sending troops to protect the fragile interest of the oppressed in other countries. Many are oppressed here at home.

Rook Castle Broadcasted

The power of the media has prevailed as much as fishermen dominate the sea. Our own Nancy Pelosi went "hook line and sinker" for a reporters outburst "you're saying the CIA lied to you" and rather than refer back to a "miss spoke" safe haven she agreed. If the "miss spoke" had been offered to start with, from the reporter, and she then made the accusation of "lied" I would say she really meant it. A knee jerk response to an unprofessional flipant remark cast the entire media into two weeks of wasted political jargon. We might have discovered more insight as to the comming of the protests in Iran had the mouth offered a path without taking a fork first. Breaking news is larger than any novel and toeing the professional line is vital to having leaders lead without the tanglefoot.
