it’s time to quit the “he’s not my president” remarks…

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Growing up I was blessed with the gift of tapes of old radio shows.  This led me to enjoying old movies.  The advent of DVDs has allowed me to experience aspects of the bygone era like newsreels.  Ah, newsreels.  Amazing pieces of mass propaganda that is, usually, so blindly unbiased you have to smile.  “Four out of five Doctors smoke Camels!”

A problem I have had since Clinton’s first term, since before I could vote, was the mass announcement, “He’s not my President” by any who oppose those in power.  I heard it with Clinton (who I personally feel is the greatest political personalities since Bobby Kennedy), heard it with Bush and now hear it with Obama. 

Nothing is more sour than this statment.  Who are these people and how dare they?  This elected person is our country’s version of royalty.  They lead us, they represent us in the world.  I did not vote for Pres. Obama, but he is still my President.  I don’t have to agree with him or his decisions but I will still honor his office and title.  I don’t have to choose to re-elect him but until his time is up we are stuck with him.  The very idea of impeachment would take as long as he has left in his term and would cost too much of my tax dollars to even think about spending.

And so with all my disenchantment I have joined the Libertarian Party.  I have also declared to them my candidacy to run in any office available in my zip code.  Hey, if Joe Morello can do it why can’t this pianist?

and now…

A good ol’ fashioned Buffett swap.  Imagine the fun then Warren and Jimmy trade places for 6 months.

 

Never thought I would say this:  give Philadelphia police Bibles.  A pastor in Illinois used one to protect himself from flying bullets, why shouldn’t the rest of us.

 

An end to censorship on all levels.

 

And maybe, just maybe for us all to dance a little more often.

some things from today

Let’s start with a link…  http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2009/02/stabbing_death_of_homeless_new.html 


Then move on to the HEADLINE attached to this link:  “Stabbing death of homeless New Orleans man ruled a homicide”. Anyone else kind of live their life assuming that a “stabbing death”, by definition is a homicide? 

 

Moving on…  according to this article the aroma found in English “Chips” is a complex blend of “butterscotch, cocoa, onion, cheese and would you believe …ironing boards, all combine to help make chips one of Britain’s iconic dishes.”
