Just a Matter of Time

Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, yesterday gave the most impassioned and logical speech of all of the world "Leaders" who spoke before the United Nations General Assembly. Link to full video on YouTube in 4 parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44HkjBDQz_k Now , before I go any further, let me stated emphatically that in my opinion, the Untied Nations is the most worthless, corrupt and spineless organization in the world. There's lots of barking, but never any bite. All show and no go. A place where ruthless and tyrannical dictators can stand before the world and condemn freedom and democracy. An organization that issues a lot of "Sanctions", but doesn't have the guts to enforce them. An organization that has long ago outlived it's usefulness and intended purpose. Netanyahu got right to the point, countering the idiocy of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly stated that the Holocaust is a lie. Netanyahu went

Football Sunday

This weekend past was the kickoff to the 2009 NFL season. No complaining today, nor any editorials. They'll come later. Watched my PITTSBURGH STEELERS (SIX (6) time Super Bowl Champions) win on Thursday night, Penn State drub Syracuse on Saturday and then tuned into football, football, football yesterday. Because it was Kick Off weekend, Directv offered the NFL Ticket free. Now there's some football watchin' there. Started with the Chiefs vs Ravens, but then went to Minnesota vs Browns. Wanted to see what Favre might do, and it was a good game. That was a good game as the Browns held their own for most of the game. Spent most of the early games watching the Saints and Detroit and Denver & Cincinnati. Wanted to watch Kyle Orton at QB for the Broncos. The Bears sure made out on that trade. Saints looked awesome, but then they played Detroit. Drew Brees threw for 6 TD's. Tonight we all get to see the biggest jerk in the NFL, Terrell Owens and the Bills vs P

Letter to Congress

My Note: I do not know who authored this piece, but it's worthy of being posted here simply because it is so true. To the United States Congress: The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke. Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke. The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor"; it hasn't worked and our entire country is broke. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to get it right; they are broke. Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke. Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the "Stimulus", the Omnibus Appropriations Ac

Obama is going to help me. Again

Hide your wallets. The Messiah is now going to help you to save money. In his Saturday morning internet address, President Obama announced a plan to help cash strapped Americans, those who actually work and pay taxes – you know the middle class, to “save” money. I read this on CNN’s website so it must be true. After all, isn’t CNN one of the most trusted news organizations in the country? Here’s the link: http://money.cnn.com/2009/09/05/news/economy/Obama_retiremetn/index.htm?postversion=2009090506 The Anointed One will allow Americans to receive their income tax refunds in the form of US Savings Bonds. Sounds like a great idea, until you think about it for a minute. Savings bonds (Series EE) are issued at ½ their face value. They take twenty (20) years to mature. The bonds cannot be cashed for a period of one year and , if you cash them in before 5 years you lose the last three (3) months interest, plus pay taxes on the amount. See the informati
