On the news today .....

Letterman got married, what can be more newsworthy than that? His kid ain't a bastard no more. And, then someone was late to the ceremony, car got stuck in the Montana mud. Slow news day to headline with that story.

I think the last to hear that AIG was paying large bonus checks to many of their execs, was the White House and the staff. Hell, I knew it, and I live way back here in Ohio. I also know that the head of AIG makes around a MILLION a month, and, he got fired once for losing too much money. Then the BAILOUT and they hired him back ....... at ............ a million a month. Makes sense to me. If I knew it back here, everyone back there must have known it.

But, they say they are going to give the money back. My guess, with all the millions they received, it will all trickle back to them in the future, in one way or another. They need the money to keep up those yachts, million dollar summer places, penthouses, jets, limous and their around the world trips. Maybe Obama will let them use his jet, if it is ever available. Wonder what all his trips have cost us, plane hasn't set idle very long.

Congress was overcome when the execs from the car companies flew to Washington in their private jets. Wonder what they think of Hussein Obama flying all over the world ..... and his is so much bigger and costlier .............. less of course than Pelosi's private jet to fly her to California. What a gas bill the taxpayers must have each month.

USA lost at the AMERICAN pastime game ...... baseball ...... Japan and Korea played for the championship last night .......... not sure who won ................ really didn't care.

WE started basketball and baseball ............ and have lost to other countries at our own sport. BUT our "athletes" make much more money at those sports ....... that must say something, not sure what it is ........................ but it must say something.

A TV show, Celebrity Digs, or something like that, takes you tours of our athletes homes, and our ................ I use the term loosely, singers and entertainers.

Nothing is as inspirational as seeing a guy ............ pants showing his ass, baggy pants, hat on crooked, multiple body piercings ................ "this be my kitchen, where I cook," these be my 10 cars ............... no .............. I guess there are 11, don't know when I got dat one."

And there is that soccer player, from somewhere, got the most expensive car in the world, and then had it chrome plated ....... they are thinking of only letting him drive a night, too much glare during the day. Do you think he's getting payed tooooo much ...... to play ............ soccer?

It all boils down to VALUE .............. if a sports team makes 100 million ............. what is the worth of the "star" ............... who draws the crowd ............ that helps them make that 100 million?

VALUE .............. WORTH ....................... then how much ............... should the SOLDIER get paid .............. whose very presence wherever he is ................. makes it safe ........... for us to live.?

PROTECTING LIFE VS. DRAWING A CROWD

That soldier, whose family is barely getting by, maybe on food stamps, is making it safe for Jeter to play baseball ............... and make his millions .................... ???????

Been a while

It has been a while since I posted last, not sure why, probably my ADD kicked in and I started doing other things.
I was reading some of the older posts on here, pre-election, and it is interesting to see some of the comments made, and how they are coming true.
The "Celebrity Prez" is doing the rounds of all the talk shows, flying all over the country, and getting exposure, for some reason. I think he likes the attention. I don't see how he has had time to do anything in regards to his office, maybe it is better for us that way.
Time will tell, I am still of the opinion that things will never be the same in this country. We are slowly being "sold down the river."
I fear for our future, well, not mine, but those being brought in to the world today.
We elected a celebrity .............. WOW
