Faith Restored – Somewhat….

We had a runoff election yesterday between two Republican candidates…. Candidate #1, a Mr. Calvey, had been in the political circus for 14 years, elected 6 times, and expected to win the primary election a few weeks back with no problem….. Problem – Candidate #2, a Mr. Langsford, had never run for any political office [...]

The Red “Power” Tie……

Just how low can our IQ’s go?….. Saw this one on the news a couple of weeks back…… Men who want to attract women need to wear “Red”…. Apparently, the color Red strikes a woman’s fancy, as opposed to the normal subdued browns and blacks worn by males….. I guess it has the opposite effect [...]

Where’d the Money Go?…..

Senators McClain (Arizona) and Coburn (Oklahoma) claim that Two (2) Billion dollars of the stimulus money has, or will be spent, for over One Hundred (100) useless and unnecessary projects….. The administration rebutted by stating that some of these projects were already on the books, and, anyway, the amount is only a small faction of [...]

vote, voTE, VOTE!!!…

Next Tuesday (27JUL10), in Oklahoma, we are having a major election of local and state offices, including primaries for Governor and Congressional seats in D.C. (the ultimate playboy place for any politician)…..  I assume most or all of the other states of this U. S. of A. are conducting the same…. I’m not here to tell you [...]

It’s President’s Day…..

We need a new one……

Ice, Snow, and No Electricity…..

I know, It’s the same old bitch about the electric companies again…… We’re in an ongoing Freezing Rain/Ice/Sleet/Snow storm right now, and, the power outages are already above the 150,000 mark….. In the 2007 Ice Storm over 600,000 were without power, and, some areas did not have power restored for over 4 WEEKS!….. According to [...]

Money, Money, Money…..

Just how many greenbacks are the current administration going to print and pass out to questionable entities in the name of “Bail-Out”?….. I don’t know, but if they don’t stop sometime our currency won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on…… At first I thought this new administration was off to a good start, but, [...]

Obama…..

…..might just be all right as Prez after all…… I had to give him a strike for appointing CH (criminal Hilary) as Secretary of State, but, I have to give him a big “home run” for handling the high seas pirates…..

A True Stimulus Pkg.

OK Chew on this one for a while, Tell Me why it won’t work, and I’ll Check back in a couple of months at all of your comments. This is so simple, that is probably why it won’t work. They want to stimulate the economy. The Package just signed into place by Barock is going [...]

Political

It’s awful quiet out there. You all must be deep in thought figuring out who to elect.

A Great City?……

A couple of news items from local Oklahoma City broadcasts…… Apparently, Forbes magazine has rated OKC as the most “Recession proof” city in the USA….. My outlook on it, as a local resident, is if you’re already “recessed” as far as you can go, it would be hard to “recess” any further (Ha)….. Right on [...]

Is Ralph Back?……

I heard on the news yesterday that Mr. Nader was once again going to toss his independent name in the hat for El Presidente…… Saw him at a rally in Seattle in 2000 and would have voted for him, except Oklahoma didn’t allow the Green Party on the ballot….. Maybe I’ll get the chance to [...]

Is It Too Early?….

……To get into a debatable, opinionated, mudslinging discussion of the up-coming “Hell in a Hand-basket” (or not) Presidential election?…… Any mudslinging, opinionated comments?…..
