Michael Who?

Did you hear; Michael Jackson died of a probable drug overdose administered by his doctor? Probably not unless you happen to have a TV set. The doctor has vanished and is nowhere to be found. Media coverage has been nauseatingly relentless and overdone. I got so sick of it the other day that I felt compelled to write the program director at Fox News the following note:

Why is the news media so obsessed with celebrities to the exclusion of other important news? I have just covered the entire story here in one paragraph. Enough said. We don’t need a 24 hour running eulogy of Michael Jackson on Fox News, or any other news outlet for that matter. There seems to be some symbiotic relationship between the news media and the entertainment media. Entertainment is not news and has it's own publicity outlets and TV channels.

I suppose some people are interested and entertained by following and worshiping celebrities, but I’m not one of them. I lived in Hollywood for too long, and met enough of them to know they are just people doing their job like the rest of us. All of this celebrity worship and attention to their personal lives is worthless and unwarranted. Most of them are nothing more than indulgent party goers with big egos and liberal views about our country. They are not worth the attention they get, or the money. With all due respect to those who want to see this kind of non-news coverage, I can only say; So what? Who cares? Get a life!

The Economy and Congress

Why is it never mentioned that the first signs of the economic collapse began on Wall Street one year after Democrats took control of Congress and their liberal legislation became effective? That was followed by the failure of Democrat controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, skyrocketing gas prices, and the mortgage meltdown. By the end of Democrats' second year in power, we were in a full blown recession. It must all be Bush's fault.

In the House of Representatives, we just saw a week of taxation without representation. Republican input and amendments to the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade bill was continually denied. No opposition to the Obama plan was allowed by Pelosi and her Rules Committee. The bill is opposed by the vast majority of not only Republicans, but Americans throughout the country. Congress isn't interested in what we want anymore, only what that radical amateur in the White House wants. Democrats are always promoting "fairness" so in interest of "fairness," the huge tax increases and regulations in the bill should apply only to Democrats - who through elections, are responsible for this perversion and corruption of our government. Now that would be fair to all, would it not?

Leftists Want to Kill Off All Life

Why do Democrats want to kill off all trees and plant life by depleting the atmosphere of carbon dioxide? CO2 provides the carbon atoms that plants and trees use as building blocks to grow. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants separate the carbon atom from the 2 oxygen atoms of the CO2 molecule which are then release into the air. Without CO2 in the air, there would be no oxygen for us and the animals to breath. All life on the planet would cease. This process is known as "The Carbon Cycle," which I would have to assume most liberals have never heard of.

The 2010 Census

Did you know that in spite of the excessive and intrusive personal questions included in the 2010 census questionnaire, there are no questions regarding citizenship? The government wants to know if you have a "flush toilet," but is not interested in whether you are a legal citizen of the United States or just here illegally. It really makes you wonder who is writing these policies and what their motives really are. Offer the census takers only the basic information required in the Constitution and disregard the rest. The Constitution requires a census be taken every 10 years to determine the number of people living in the country. That is all. The rest of this questionnaire is all designed for socialists' political purposes. Don't give it to them. That is your right under the Constitution.

Is No. Korea Testing Obama?

Is the No. Korean freighter now heading for Burma (Myanmar) a test cruise, loaded with just rice? If I were Kim Jong Ill, I would send out a freighter headed for Burma loaded with rice, then make outrageous threats of war if it were to be stopped and inspected - as a test to see if Obama has the spine to enforce the embargo against No. Korea. Uncle Kim called Obama's bluff and won. Spineless Obama has decided not to stop and inspect the ship, but rather will leave inspections to the country where the ship docks. Obama will be happy to take their word for it that the ship contains no banned materials. Instead of running from Uncle Kim, Obama should have called his bluff and obeyed the law requiring all ships leaving No. Korea to be inspected in international waters.

This failure to do so assures that the next ship Uncle Kim sends out will be loaded with nuclear materials and technology. Will Obama then order that ship to be inspected according to the sanctions or simply wimp out again? We already know the answer to that question. This spineless weasel in the White House is afraid to enforce foreign policy to assure the national security of America. Sooner or later, the Obama chickens are going to come home to roost and we all are going to pay the price in the loss of life and limb, not to mention the damage done to our economy at a time when we can least afford it.

Obama obviously either doesn’t understand, or doesn’t care about our economy. Another terrorist attack couldn’t possibly do any more damage to the economy than Obama is doing with his Cap and Trade bill and other policies. Can there be any doubt left in anyone’s mind that Obama’s objective is the destruction of the free market capitalist system in America and the world? This Marxist-fascism must be stopped.
