End Term

I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president.
-President Lyndon B. Johnson

I wonder if we will hear something like this from "W" towards the end of his term, even though he has completed his two-term maximum.

Happy New Year

So the new year is upon us. Do you as an adult still look forward to going out and getting drunk as a skunk? Or do you stay in watch a good film on disc or watch the game and get lifted in the safety of your own home?
For me, I'll do the latter. I stock up on my favorite beverage before New Year's and I'll sit and watch the Dallas Stars beat the LA Kings.
Driving anywhere on New Years in my opinion has become too much of an extreme sport.
Good luck to all the Police Officers on duty that night, and to all the doctors and nurses on duty in the emergency rooms across the country.

spell it bitch

If you are interested in a damn fine documentary that pulls at the heart strings and the potential of your children then you may find Spellbound an excellent film. Enjoy.

Causey and effect

It's ironic how the prosecutor working the Enron case will make a deal with someone who is part of the largest banruptcy (at the time) just to ensure Lay and Skilling get the shaft.
I wonder how soon Skilling will make a deal with the prosecution to make Lay one of the biggest corporate villains in history.
Unfortunately for the employees of Enron there are no deals for them.

Hit the bricks pal

NYC. New York, New York. The city so nice they named it twice. Not likely. It's funny how rude someone can become once they live in NY.
Leave it to the MTA to foul up everyone's day and shut down the system.
What the governor should do is fire them all like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers. That'll fix the problem.

To tap or not to tap

According to the President, speed is essential in detecting potential terrorists.
I think he's right. It's so unfortunate that the towers had to fall in order for the Government to respond. Is this a new police state, as some say?
I don't have the answers but if the Attorney General says its okay, then who am I to question the A.G.? I'm just another worker ant trying to avoid being squashed.

Merry __ vs. Happy __

Is the Christmas greeting a serious issue or is this just a new non-issue?
It seems ridiculous to me people are debating this.
So it goes.

WWJD

Well it seems the old suits in the House might have a small amount of common sense after all. Some things can be simple. Maybe the ban on torture question has finally been answered.
Just in time for Christmas.
So it goes.

Bill Free

Wouldn't it be nice if during the holiday season all of the regular bills that arrive monthly could be put on hold until January?

Well, of course the electricity to power the 10,000 lights in the front yard and keeping the homestead warm could never allow the electic company to be part of such a 'bill free' holiday. But it sure would be great to be able to have all the non-essential bills just wait til the gift-giving season is over. This way the economy could be stimulated during December and put huge smiles on retailer's and children's faces.

Finally, make sure you get yourself something you want. Don't forget nobody can shop for you like you can.

Have a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus holiday.

Sure dude, you were asleep and weren't conscious of your actions.
Wow, I'll make a mental note not to go drinking with that dude.

Senior Gaming

When it comes to video games I've always considered myself knowledgable, but this 69 years-young grandmother has myself and many others beat.
According to the Post, this incredible lady has the Gamecube, PS2 and the XBox and she subscribes to Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer Gaming World and Game Informer. She is more than serious about her gaming, everyone should have a granny this cool.

Transparency in Iraq

Well, let's not call it propaganda. Let's call it: Government approved information sharing.
Seriously, if it has worked historically why not use it now in Iraq, the Middle East, North Korea, here in the U.S., wherever we feel we as a nation are not getting good headlines. Think of it as an important tool in winning the war on terrorism.
So it goes.
