The liberal left blames the radical right wingers as the hate mongers in this country as Rosie and her outbursts about our troops being the terrorists.  But, my friends that's just not so.  In the beautiful state of Washington, some loving peaceful people burned some American flags displayed at veterans grave sites, and replaced them with hand made signs displaying the swastikas.  "Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another 33 flags were in charred tatters Sunday in the cemetery, authorities said. Swastikas drawn on paper appeared where 14 of the flags had been."   Read more.

When the police find these juvenile immature socialists and charge them with a crime, some liberal leftist attention hungry attorney will step up and use the freedom of speech defense tactic.   What will happen if they just happen to be Muslims?  The story will be buried deep into the back

And in the Philadelphia area. Same thing.

And in the Boston area, teens threw eggs at the soldiers performing the 21 gun salute during the Memorial Day tribute. Here.

Was that incidence just a couple of kids being a couple of kids?  Or is this indicative of a deeper problem in our society?   Mom and dad, what have you to say about your kids?   And, what will you do to correct their attitudes?

Only a few hundred read this blog each week, so what effect am I making anyway?  Nada?  I'm just one of the many, my voice being given to those we elect.   Another RINO is ready to concede to the bring them home bunch, as he states that "Republicans will be ready by September to look at bipartisan efforts to draw down the troops that were part of the surge to help secure Baghdad".

That was the republican Senator from Alabama, Jeff Sessions as he said on CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday.
What gives with these guys?  Is he really talking about the majority of republicans?  Has the republican party capitulated to the likes of Reid, Murtha, Edwards, Obama and Hillary and company?   Where are the Oliver North's of the party?  Where are they?   Does anyone not see that to secure the Middle East against the Islamic radicals and the fanatics of Iran, it will take an occupying force of American and allied troops like there was after defeating Hitler, to remain in Iraq for some time as a stabilizing force even after the government of Iraq has it's own security operation effectively controlling local resistance?  Establishing democracy does take time, lots of time.   I have not heard one word along these lines.  But mark my word, as soon as we pull our troops out, the increase in violence in Iraq will dramatically escalate and spill into Israel, and we'll be right back defending Israel against the Islamic radicals.  These are religious fanatics we are fighting, and they will not soon quit, just because we declare a victory in Iraq.   Hey, if only we were as serious as these Muslims are, then there would be a totally different outlook in Washington.

I'm getting so fed up with the republican party and it's weak kneed, pansy faced, feminized  responses to the socialists, the anti-America, the anti-traditional Christian Jewish culture of the country, and giving in to the democrats, that it tempts one to quit and just give up.   Where are the true conservative republicans?   Are there any left?  Can't they speak up?  Can't they get on CBS face the Nation?  I'd bet they would if they made a big enough stink about the democrat plan for America.  The mainstream media feeds on controversy, so give it to them.   Anyway, republicans like Jeff Sessions will never get my vote nor my dollar support.

Since my time left on this earth is drawing to a close, perhaps I should just give in, enjoy those few years left and leave the country go to hell on a Muslim prayer rug.   But my kids will be around for another 30 to 40 years or more, and the grandkids just might see the 2080's.   What am I doing anyway?   Wasting my time?    When does the next season of American Idol start? 

Oh, and the Cubs lost another one.   Not much new there with an ineffective bull pen.

Hey, Cubs fans do not quit watching and hoping.    After all these losing seasons the fans still show up, they still watch and keep track of the team, and I'm still going to rant and express the As I See It Now voice out of the heartland.

These remarks are taken from General Peter Pace and his commencement speech of 2006 to the graduates of the Citadel.

“First: Grow where you are planted. Some of you are going to go to jobs that were not your first choice. Some of you in the military will go into specialties that were not your first choice. I guarantee you that wherever you go there are individuals who deserve caring leadership. And if you will go to that job or that profession and give it your very best, I promise you that you will find it fulfilling and that you will continue to get promoted because there are more good jobs than there are good people. And those of you who tackle whatever is given you with all your strength and all your heart will shine and will get the next good job.”

“Second: Check your moral compass frequently. I have seen it both in combat and in peace. If you do not know who you are walking into a situation, you may not like who you are when you're done. When I was a lieutenant in Vietnam, I lost Lance Corporal Guido Ferranaro from Bethpage, New York, a 19-year-old Marine, to a sniper—the first Marine I'd ever lost in combat. I was filled with rage, and I called in an artillery strike on the village from which the sniper fired. Between the time that I called in the strike and the rounds were fired, my platoon sergeant didn't say a word, he just looked at me. And I realized I was doing the wrong thing, and I called off the artillery strike, and we did what we should've done, which was to sweep through the village. And all we found in that village were women and children.”

“Third: Make decisions. In Vietnam after we spent a couple of months in Hue City during the Tet of ’68, my company went on a patrol, and my platoon had the lead point on the patrol. I remember getting to the first decision point and calling back on the radio to my company commander and saying,” “You want to go left or go right?”
“And he said,” “Go left.”
“I called a second time a little while later and said,” “You want me to go left or go right?”
“He said,” “Go right.”
“I called a third time and asked him what he wanted me to do, and I got the butt chewing of my life over the radio. And basically when you take out the curse words what my company commander said to me was,” “Lieutenant, you are in charge—you make the decision.”

“Fourth and last, and this is the most basic: Take care of those in your charge. Whether you're fortunate to have one or a hundred or a thousand or whatever number of individuals it is who are looking to you for leadership. Do all in your power to understand what their needs are and as best you can to provide it for them. You will not be able to do everything. You will not know everything. But if your subordinates know that you want to know what their problems are, that you do want to try to help, even if you can't get it right, your organization will bind together as a team better than you could ever demand, and they will freely give to you more than you could ever demand simply by doing the right thing, which is take care of those in your charge.”

That ladies and gentlemen is why America has the best Armed forces in the world. This is not only the best advice for a recent graduate of a military school, but also excellent advice for any youngster getting ready for a career, any youngster contemplating marriage and raising a family, and any person contemplating a career in politics. And a note about point number two. Our method of combat is defeat the enemy while being concerned for the innocent women and children among the enemy soldiers we are trying to defeat. They will do everything in their power, even at the risk of putting our own soldiers in harms way, to protect the innocent civilians, the women and children among the enemy and in enemy territory. And that says a whole lot about America, after all we do have just one bomb that could win that war in Iraq very quickly, but we choose not to use it because of our concern for the innocents. For this reason alone, America deserves the admiration of the world, this great land of ours, this great constitutional republic that we are so fortunate to be a part of.

God bless the USA.

Hillary thinks her fake southern accent is a sign of being multilingual.  Oh the depths of the understanding of this Senator wannabe is just astounding.   "I think America is ready for a multilingual president," Clinton said during a campaign stop at a charter school in Greenville, S.C.  Of course she was referring to herself as during a previous  event hosted by Al the Sharpton, she put on a southern accent to woo and wow the civil rights organization.

Hey, everybody, there is a multilingual person holding down the Presidency right now, George Bush has a real understanding and fairly good handle on Spanish.   Hillary, wake up.

That's a quote from the website John Edwards endorses suggesting ten things you can do as "patriots" this Memorial Day week-end to help "end this war".  

"Buy a bunch of poster-board and markers. At a picnic or with family and friends, make signs that say “SUPPORT THE TROOPS - END THE WAR.” Bring them to your local Memorial Day parade."

Ok, there are a few good suggestions along with all this end this war talk, but the message is loud and clear.  

Disrupt the traditional honoring of our fallen soldiers of ALL previous wars with signs and banners, marches and neighborhood walks with "end this war" blather.   Everyone of our National Holidays is being highjacked by a bunch of radical zealots intent on destroying the traditional Jewish-Christian culture of America. 


******

On another related note.  The NY Times has an article confessing to "Strife Foreseen in Iraq Exit, but..."  Don't you just love those buts?   "Bush wins election, but..."   "Economy expands, but...." 

"There is one matter on which American military commanders, many Iraqis and some of the Bush administration’s staunchest Congressional critics agree: if the United States withdrew its forces from Baghdad’s streets this fall, the murder and mayhem would increase."  Then comes the but....the Experts split over the degree of the increase of violence.  

Experts?  The sanctimonious NY Times consider themselves the "Experts" at determining the what. 

I was just taking some time this morning to browse through the new comprehensive immigration bill as promoted by the senate.  All of us on the right of the aisle, that right side means that we are right and they are wrong, in the language of the grass roots of the heartland have been tearing this bill apart and would rather have a bill concentrating on closing the borders now, and later on consider any amnesty provisions separately.

Anyway, my first observation is the size of S.1348. 790 pages in the PDF format in 832 Sections. Is there anyone in the Senate that has read and understands the content of the entire package? How many of the members of the Senate have read the entire package? 

Scrolling through the sections of the bill, there is one section that caught my eye and I’d like to highlight and comment on. SEC. 113. REPORTS ON IMPROVING THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION ON NORTH AMERICAN SECURITY. Now if you’ve been paying attention to any of the other actions of our federal government concerning what is called the SPP, or the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, you know that an agreement has been signed by all three countries, Canada, the US and Mexico for the purpose of establishing a cooperative approach to advance our common security and prosperity.   See this link.

Back to section 113 of S.1348, the requirements of reports: The secretary of state “shall submit to Congress a report on improving the exchange of information related to the security of North America.” Section 113 (b) (3) (c)  states “in exploring methods for Canada, Mexico, and the United States to waive visa requirements for nationals and citizens of the same foreign countries.“

Yes, it actually says to waive visa requirements for nationals or citizens of either Canada, the US or Mexico.  Am I skipping over another section of this bill that is related to closing the borders, and toughing up on our illegal immigration migration into the US that would require a visa for entry into the US?  

Is this all legal talk I just don’t get?  And if I don't get it, will the bureaucrats at the agencies get it?

Perhaps one of our fine senators can explain this to me, Senator Edward Kennedy for example, as he was one of the sponsors, or GOP presidential candidate John McCain as being a firm supporter of this bill. 

Don’t go to Mecca if you are a Christian and do not want to be arrested for trespassing and of violating the rules of Islam. They even have a high tech system of fingerprint identification to catch criminal workers, visitors and overstayers, and that is how the Saudi authorities identified the man. He did confess to be a Christian, not denying his faith. Naïvely he thought the city was a peaceful place and he could make some money peddling his goods while hiding his identity.  So Nirosh Kamanda of Sri Lanka was arrested because it’s against the law, which according to the rules of the Wahhibist interpretation of Islam, only Muslims are allowed in the city of Mecca.

Profiling Christians in Mecca?  Gee whiz, we hear from the Muslims here in America that they are tolerant of other religions throughout the Islamic world.  

Is that not so?

According to our own State Department: "religious freedom does not exist" in Saudi Arabia and non-Muslim "worshippers risk arrest, imprisonment, lashing, deportation and sometimes torture for engaging in religious activity that attracts official attention."

But Americans get in trouble because of suspected profiling of Muslims at our airports. Could our Homeland Security Department borrow their high-tech fingerprint system for a few years?  And how about the Jews and Christians living in the city of Jerusalem making it off-limits to Muslims or any other faith including the religious folks of global warming and gay rights.  It could then be returned to the Jews and Christians as their "holy" city.

Rest of the short story is here from WND.

the latest and most up to date survey.   "The New York Times/CBS News poll, the latest in a series of recent surveys that have shown an unexpectedly sharp drop in support both for Bush and the war, came as Congress prepared to vote on a controversial compromise bill that would give Bush some 100 billion dollars more for U.S. military operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan."   Now, it's 76% who believe that the war is going badly, and supposedly 56% of self confessed republicans think the war is going "somewhat badly".   How about them apples folks?   If you really need to, the rest is available here.

But, who did they call and survey?  Have you ever received a phone call from the NY Times or CBS asking your opinions?  NO    What questions are they asking?  Do they ever publish the questions and possible multi-choice answers?  NO.  So, how do we know that it's not all make believe what the Times wants us to believe?   Hmmmmm!  How do we know?   Oh, because they said so.  Because they say they have integrity.  Because they are educated journalists from the best schools, and have gone through vigorous on the job training under the best for many months under harsh conditions of on the ground field work in remote places like Oklahoma City, during that Murrah building bombing of 1995.

What would we do without surveys?  Not too many years hence, the survey and poll crowd will need to find another occupation as the new media, the internet, is taking over the dissemination of the news and opinions.  As less and less Americans tune in to the news at six or ten, 20/20, or the nightly news broadcast with whoever, or any of the other network news programs, their influence over our opinions become less and less.  And that, ladies and gentlemen is devastating to them.  Major newspapers all across the country are being forced to "cutting back", and that is just a sampling of what's to come. 

What will the liberals do to protect their territory?  What form of regulation will the liberals dream up to protect their territory?   The Fairness Doctrine is the first attempt to regulate talk radio, which the liberal social engineers have been unsuccessful at being successful.  Some sort of regulation over the internet will be next in line.  And they'll have the surveys to prove it.

While the immigration debate heats up on Capital Hill, few of them are considering the unintended consequences of the unintended loopholes that must be unintendedly inserted into the 1000 pages of type.  Slow down and digest what's there and perhaps even John McCain could come back to his senses and return to his conservative roots.

Peggy Noonan is a gifted writer and her latest is common sense.  "Slow Down and Absorb."

A democratic senator, Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, wants to honor the memory of Rachael Carson who alone was instrumental in the banning of the pesticide DDT for environmental reasons.  Carson had her controversial book, The Silent Spring, published long ago in 1962.  The beginnings of the modern day environmental movement. 

However, Senator Coburn of Oklahoma has come out against the wishes of Cardin saying that the ban of DDT was irresponsible.  

"DDT originally was used during World War II in Europe to delouse troops and in South Pacific islands to kill insects causing malaria."

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.

"Critics of Carson cite the 500 million saved lives the National Academy of Sciences attributed to DDT before it was banned and note the World Health Organization's affirmation that no substance had ever proved more beneficial to man."   WND has the rest of the story.

And I'll add this.  The rise of malaria in African nations can be directly attributed to the lack of a safe means to combat the mosquitoes that carry the malaria virus.  Millions have died of Malaria since, but that has been one of those unintended consequences of the banning of just one pesticide.  How many other EPA bans and restrictions have had similar consequences.  All in the name of protecting animals or the environment, but at the expense of protecting humans.   It just does not make sense. 

Anyway, kudos to Senator Coburn, one of the last remaining true conservatives in the Senate.
Coburn was also instrumental in creating "The Sunlight Foundation"  "The Sunlight Foundation was founded in 2006 with the goal of using technology to enable citizens to learn more about what their elected representatives are doing, to help reduce corruption, ensure greater transparency and accountability by government, and foster public trust in the vital institutions of democracy. We are unique in that technology and the power of the Internet are at the core of every one of our efforts."

Drive a long way on an extended vacation.

Hook up the boat and take to the lake for water skiing etc.

Take the camper out of storage and find a National park for a get-a-way.

Fly off to an exotic place for an extended weekend. It’s called “binge flying.”
    All of the above add additional amounts of carbon emissions to the already fragile atmosphere.

Fire up the charcoal for grilling steaks and burgers.
    Red meat is not good for your health; the charcoal fumes are bad to breathe and the charcoal add toxic gases      into the atmosphere.

Wear a t-shirt with patriotic sayings.
     You might just offend someone.

Wear a t-shirt with a Bible verse.
     You would certainly offend someone.

Remember to take the think creamy sunscreen for sun bathing.
     Your skin might get burned from the suns rays shining thru the holes in the ozone layer.

It’s Memorial Day, so try to remember a veteran, but be careful of displaying the American flag.
     Someone might be offended by your outward show of patriotism.


I may have forgotten a few, but you get the gist for a troublesome politically correct green holiday.

A new law has been passed that would “ban textbooks, references, teaching aids, activities, events, discussions, posters, announcements, workbooks and anything else within the public school system from anything that "reflects or promotes bias against" homosexuality, transgenders, bisexuals or those with "perceived" gender issues.” The bill is “designed to transform our public schools into institutions that disregard all notions of the traditional family unit," "This reverse discrimination is an outright attack on the religious and moral beliefs.” References to a "mother" and "father" in any school text appear to be threatened, because they could be interpreted as "reflecting" a bias against the "Partner 1" and "Partner 2" of same-sex lifestyles. Story is right here.

No, it’s not yet in Washington politics, but where else, but in California.   SB777 is nothing but reverse bigotry against the traditional family and traditional heterosexual family units containing a Dad, a Mom and children who are either a boy or a girl as determined at birth and so named on birth certificate.   But those things are no nos to these misguided secular progressives.   There has been a trend in politics that what starts in California ends up in Washington.   Oh my gosh.   As in the words of Reagan: “here we go again.”   In the words of Forrest Gump. “Stupid is as stupid does.”  

“The Los Angeles district already has implemented many of the proposals in the legislation. Among the most obvious changes: “

• · Words such as "mom" and "dad" and "husband" and "wife" would have to be edited from all texts.
• · Cheerleading and sports teams would have to be gender-neutral.
• · Prom kings and queens would be banned, or if featured, would have to be gender neutral so that the king could be female and the queen male.
• · Gender-neutral bathrooms could be required for those confused about their gender identity.
• · A male who believes he really is female would be allowed into the women's restroom, and a woman believing herself a male would be allowed into a men's room.
• · Even scientific information, such has statistics showing AIDS rates in the homosexual community or statistics relating to births or deaths among various cultural groups, could be banned.

Conservatives are scared of fighting against this trend, so it might just take the Islamic community to rise up against this by requiring all the females to wear burkas?   But then, the boys may take to wearing burkas too, which would allow them to go into the girls rest rooms undercover.   Boys will be boys.

The Terminator governor still has to sign this bill, which most likely he will be very happy to.  Last year he vetoed a similar measure saying there were adequate anti-discriminatory measures in place already.

They said the 1986 comprehensive immigration bill would solve the problem, and now they say this one will.   Hmmmm!   A dumb bill by any other amnesty name is still a stupid amnesty bill.  A brain dead congress by any other name is still brain dead.   History tends to repeat itself.

Washington loves to call those millions of illegal aliens as poor babies only doing the jobs Americans won’t do, and living in the shadows.  Of course they are, and this bill will still keep them in the shadows and allow millions more to migrate freely into the shadows of American life.  Only, the shadows are not really shadows as the aliens have already been lifted out by the feds not enforcing the laws of the land.  The Home Depot parking lots do not have shadows.  The roofs these aliens are working on are not in the shadows.  Most of the yards they mow are sparkled shadows. The fields where the aliens are picking veggies are in full sunlight.  The chicken houses they work in are covered, but the parking lots are not shadowed.  The factories they labor in, as the chicken houses, the roofs, and the fields have been open for the feds to inspect at any time.  The feds would not do that before, so why do they think they can sell to us now the fact that the feds will impose sanctions and enforce penalties on the employers.   A few raids here and there over the last 6 months won’t cut it.  It takes real enforcement with fear.

It appears that everyone else is ready to appease the illegal aliens for a chance at getting their vote in the future.  Even the Chairman of the RNC, Mel Martinez is a sponsor of this bill, as is Jon Kyl, Arlen Spector, and Lindsey Graham supportive of the amnesty bill.  And John McCain too, is sitting at Kennedy’s side.  RINOs big time.

The senate just defeated a proposal to phase out the temporary worker program 49-48.  It’s still a part of the bill.  Temporary becomes permanent when the laws are not enforced.

Whatever it takes folks.  What happened to the enforcement of previous immigration laws?  It’s now crunch time and the silent majority has to speak up and let them know we want the border closed first and foremost.  Congress should write a bill that closes the border only, that slams the open door shut, then after that deed is done, then they can bring up the subject of amnesty, but only after the border is shut down.  We can see right through those “triggers.”   Another name would be loopholes.

Write your congressman, your Senator, your representative in the house, and President Bush and let them know that there will be no contributions made, nor a vote cast to any republican or democrat that endorses this travesty of justice.   What has become of our rule of law?   The law in this country states that immigration into this country must be made in a certain way.   That has been the law of the land.  Why will it not be enforced?  

The time is now for the quiet majority to come out of the shadows and defeat this bill.  A stink by any other name is still a stink, and this 1000 page bill stinks.

Where was CNN and the rest of the mainstream (offcourse) press when this shooting happened in Moscow, Idaho?   "Pete Husmann, like many, heard the hail of gunfire Saturday night.  Unlike most, he ventured into the night.  It is a choice that nearly killed him."   But, Pete grabbed his 45 and rode his bike to the location of the gunfire and was intent on helping in whatever way he could, only he was the one to get shot by the crazed gunman making it sound like a war zone.  Pete was shot 4 times, but is expected to recover just fine.   Would he have done it again?  "Yeah, absolutely."  The shooter shot himself at the end of his rampage.  Another tragedy in the US.  But where was the coverage?   Possibly it's a good thing they did not show up.

Do you want to bet that the people in Moscow, Idaho are thrilled that the press is not making this another spectacle coverage like the Va. Tech shootings.  One question I have just thought of for the press.  How many people must be killed or wounded before you guys will all show up?   Since only a few were shot in this rampage, it was not worth the time of our beloved press to load their trailers and travel all the way to Idaho to find out what motive the shooter had.

Kudos to Pete Hussman, an American hero.

More of the story.  and more. and more.

Now that congress has come up with a gasoline price gouging bill, do you feel any better?

Over the past month we’ve heard the moans of America about the price of gas escalating through the ceiling. We’ve all moaned and groaned as we filled up the tank and it takes another $5 out of our pockets. Last year I paid $2.659 per gallon of gas, and now it’s at $3.399, a 74 cent increase, and in 2004, I paid $1.899. Heck, I have moaned as the price of my favorite coffee has risen to the $8.00 range for that 34.5 oz container, so I now settle for the generic, in store brand, or the weeks’ special. But we can’t economize that way with gas. Where is that generic brand of gas anyway? So, we the people pay up. And, we also continue to moan and groan each time we see the tank below the ¼ mark on the gauge. Then whine again when we pay up.

And the media goes ecstatic finding the hard luck stories to present to you on the “news at 6”. Someone is contemplating canceling the yearly vacation because of the price of gas. Let’s see, a 1500 mile trip at 23 mpg and 74 cents more per gallon would cost less than an additional $50 for the trip. Perhaps it they are running that tight on the budget, they should stay home anyway, but the reporters don’t analyze it for the hard luck moaners they found groaning. Another is searching for a car pool to get to work. Another thinks they may have to go without something else, a gallon of milk for the baby, to keep the car running. And the media assign reporters to search out other options for you and present “specials” on how to economize. And on and on it goes. It’s the price of milk, ground beef, potato chips, a jar of peanut butter that has not been recalled, and a sack of dog food that has escaped the recall list, or the cost of the prescription drugs, or the cost of the spring air-conditioner check up service. Whine, moan and groan. Do you think it’s that way because that’s the way we are?

And the politicians love it. Thus, a bill to prevent price gouging which cannot be defined nor enforced. It makes the politician look like he cares, and citizens feel they are cared for. Would you agree that there are times, when it appears that the political class want us and encourage us to whine and moan? Because, then it’s easy for them to write resolutions and laws that supposedly will fix the problems we the people are groaning and moaning about. They call it solutions. They then say, this bill will fix the problem, you will never have to worry about a peanut butter recall again, your worries about global warming will be solved when you buy those offsets, the groaning on one side of the aisle will stop when the President signs this bill granting amnesty to 12 million criminals, and then all is well. They then tell you that this bill will solve the illegal immigrant crisis, it will just wipe the problem away with the stroke of a pen, but be patient because it will take time to assimilate them all to blend in, but the problem will be solved. And on and on it goes. The government will solve your problems. You will never have to worry about having to cancel your vacation again because of the new tax break, of the new bill guaranteeing every American who wants to vacationize, the right to do so at any time, as even your employer will donate to your plans, or he/she will lose his/her special tax exemption. The government is operating as solvers of a new problem, a new whine, and a new expanded groan. And that’s the way they are.

The media loves it the most of all. It fills a dead spot on the news at 6. It keeps a reporter running around searching for the hard luck stories. The newspaper editors are kept busy choosing which groaned letter to the editor to publish. They write and publish opinions of our moans and how many of us are whining about this or that. The polls are taken and the results show that only 35% of us approve, or the majority of the people (54%) disapprove of this or that, + ot – a margin of error of 3%. But we never see the actual questions of these polls and how they come to those conclusions. Solutions, solutions, we want solutions, build that fence, open the gates, bring home the troops, keep them there, drill for more oil, buy a hybrid, grow your own tomatoes, skip the latte at Starbucks, carpool, ride the bus, move closer to work, let the kids ride the bus, forget the soccer league or the cheerleaders this year as the uniforms are too costly, and on and on. Reporters of a new whine, a new moan and an expanded groan. And that’s the way they are. Reporting to us our own groans and moans. A special 20/20 is in the making.

That’s why I have this blog, so that I can moan and groan about what everyone else is whining, moaning and groaning about. That’s the way I am. I want the gas in the double digits and I like my coffee cheap and want the best without the groaning, but then, what would I have to whine about?

And that’s the way we are. Can the government solve our problems? No. Will the media present just the news? No. Will we the people quit whining? No. And that’s just the way it is. Whiners. But it sure puts a lot of people to work.


And that’s As I See It Now.
