Shortly after the Primaries, Mr. Calvey, who was definitely peeved over the situation, went ballistic and started a series of mud slinging you would not believe, including fake polling calls that berated Mr. Langsford (Of course, he denied having anything to do with it), and an extensive TV commercial barrage of how he was much more qualified, etc…..

His biggest mistake was agreeing to a televised debate….. It was something to see – It was the Bully against the Nice Guy….. Calvey kept getting louder and more boisterous, making all kinds of accusations against Langsford as to his qualifications for the seat, including some remarks about his mother and family….. Mr. Langsford kept his cool, and, in a calm voice, more than proved his qualifications and his ability to deal with loudmouths…..

Well, I’m happy to say, Langsford prevailed with a 65% to 35% win! Restored my faith in Oklahoma voters, and, maybe, just maybe, voters nationwide will take the time to research the candidates they vote for and we can save this nation from itself….. What a concept!…..

I dismissed this UNTIL I started noticing an abnormal amount of POLITICIANS on TV wearing, you guessed it, RED TIES….. Known as the “Red Power Tie”….. The person I’ve seen most often wearing the glaring Red stripe is none other than Mr. Obama….. Those Politicians don’t miss a trick…… I wonder if they have palm readers and soothsayers on the payrolls too?….. PLEASE, PLEASE, vote these career self-servers OUT of office…..

Here’s a couple of the projects: $70,000 to study the effect of cocaine on Monkeys (Yeah, I doubt the Monkeys will see much of the coke)….. $500,000 to replace the windows in the Mount St. Helens Visitor Center….. The only problem is that the Center has been closed for some time and is scheduled to remain closed for an indefinite amount of time….. Anyone know when they closed it?…. I think it was 2003 the last time I visited the Volcano and it was open then…. Got lots of cool pictures from in and around the Center….. If they’re not going to re-open it, why replace the windows?….. Augh!!!….

Just remember, your Government is working for you, just ask Big Business, and, Why don’t you grab up some of that beautiful, well oiled Beach front property for sell on the Gulf Coast…..

I’m not here to tell you who to vote for, but, I strongly urge you to peruse the candidates closely, and, vote your convictions….. The state our country is in at the present time needs some revision (at the minimum), or a complete overhaul (at the max)….. I’m leaning toward the complete overhaul, but, that’s just me…..

REMEMBER! – IF YOU DON’T EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE, THEN, IN MY OPINION, YOU LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO BITCH!….

S-o-o-o, MR Community-ites – Get to those Polls and do your duty and VOTE!…. (The preceding has been a public awareness message, or, a command from your Fearless Leader – your choice – Thank you…..)

What other companies do you know of that would remain in business, when, at the most critical time that you need their service, it’s not available?…… How do they get away with it?…. They’re a PUBLIC UTILITY!….. All their power poles and lines are on PUBLIC PROPERTY!…. They are regulated (yeah, right) by the same local politicians that like to put money in their pocket also!….. Sadly, it comes down to the American voter, who, for the most part, doesn’t even vote, or, just votes the same crooked politician back in office….

WAKE UP, CITIZEN, YOU ARE SCREWING YOURSELF!….. Not only do you pay for a service you can’t get when you need it most, the electric companies pass all the constant repair costs on to you by going to the Corporation Commission (the politicians I mentioned earlier) and filing for, AND, getting an across the board rate hike……

Am I the only one who sees this?….. Am I that far off base?….. Let me know what you think out there MR Community Members on this subject – Only if you have the time – It’s really not that important – Don’t make waves…… (Point Taken? – I Hope So)

At first I thought this new administration was off to a good start, but, when it came out that we are financing bonus’s for CEO’s of bankrupt corporations, I have to wonder….. How could anyone deserve a bonus when the company they work for is bankrupt?….. Someone explain that one to me, please?….. And, we’re not talkin’ a few dollars, we’re talkin’ bonus’s that most of us could live the rest of our lives on by working only when we felt like it……

Then there’s the auto industry – not only do we bail them out, we are financing the “cash for clunkers” program….. I don’t have the time or the space to detail all the requirements that your so-called “clunker” and the new car you are buying must meet to get the $4,500, but, believe me, the “clunker” can’t be something you just dragged out of a salvage yard….. Yet, they’ve went through a billion dollars so far, and extended the program for another two billion!!!! If we are in such a recession, where are people getting the money to buy new cars?….. New cars are not cheap even with a $4,500 rebate, and, you are talking about a complicated set of rules to qualify for the rebate…… Where is the money really going?…… You throw in the fact that quite a few of the rebates will only be $3,500, you are talking close to 750,000 new car sales for the government’s 3 billion dollar program….. Like the Senator that wanted an accounting of the first billion that disappeared so far, I would like to see some accounting of the whole program myself….. Yeah, what’s the chance in that?….. A snowball in Hell?…..

I haven’t even touched on the closings of over a hundred Post Offices (It’s more important for that CEO to get his bonus than it is for you to get your mail), or, the Medical Care programs…… The outlook is not good…….

I recommend everyone buy themselves a supply of wallpaper paste, because at this rate it won’t be long before the American greenback will be good for nothing except papering you walls with – if you still have a house with walls to live in…….
