Blah

Light snow ugh. Winter has arrived.

:(

My Mom is back in the hospital. I know she loves being at home, but it's about time she listened to me and moved to assisted living.

Happy Birthday Governor!

Happy 75th Birthday to the great Tommy Thompson!

Um, No.

I just read a news article that states the Constitution requires nine justices on the Supreme Court. Uh, no, no it doesn't say that. Where the heck was her editor? Better still, where was her Google? Or her education?

Next Semester

I registered for spring classes tonight. More taxation, and business bankruptcy.

In unrelated news, I'm in a woe is me mode. Discuss.

My Thoughts

I don't have a solution for the problem I'm about to gripe about, but naturally, being me, I'll gripe anyway. Public meetings on local issues are a necessity, but I feel only the folks on the extreme can afford to attend. I work full time, go to law school, and have four kids. I can't spend an evening refuting the frenzied obsessions of some of the people who leave flyers on my door calling for "action!" on nonexistent problems. Install a speed bump on a busy thoroughfare because of "hot rodders"? Jezus Kochanie, Ike ain't President anymore. Go watch Wheel of Fortune at the home and be quiet.

Nonsense

"Is it a big deal if the President goes to dinner and the press doesn't know?  In a word, yes."

I disagree. The press has been outed, in cold print, as a biased, partisan tool. Why reward them? Besides which their justifications for pool coverage are pathetically weak.
