There has been nothing funny about the last two days, and with the new unemployment numbers, it may get worse.

We don’t really know, any of us, why someone snaps and turns lose their rage on the people around them or an ex-employer, but it’s certain that this year has spawned a too many deaths. Most marriages come to an end over financial troubles, a good many suicides are reported when job loses are high, and people that have difficulty handling the world-when things are good-tend to turn to violence when things get bad. The man who killed and maimed so many at Fort Hood, yesterday, was said to be angry over deployment to the Middle-East, and angry with Obama over his failure to pull the men out of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. It appears, with what is known, that the man in Orlando was an ex-employ. Whatever the case, yours or a friend, the answer to any bad situation is never a gun.

Get counseling, get help, but do not pick up a gun to solve a problem. Too few of the moments meant to give a person their 15-minutes of fame, are things that your mother, father, brothers, and sisters, will be able to point to and say, “That was my family member.” Your actions don’t just punish you; they punish those who love you.

Fox News: 1:20 p.m. The shooter has been arrested.

Okay, I do not care who you are; you’re not eating my cat. If you’re starving, I suggest Burger King-possibly you will eat an exotic hamburger of Kangaroo, but you’re not eating my cat.

Brenda and Robert Vale of New Zealand have studied the carbon emissions of pets and decided that we need to start eating the common “garden variety” cat, dog, and guinea pig? We have eaten deer that tasted like sage, fish that had a whang that could have been the result of mercury, and rabbit…don’t even ask, but my cat, dog, or if I had one, the guinea pig…not going to happen! There are nations of people that do eat dogs and cats; however, given the other available stock of meats and food sources, these people probably feel they have no choice. Not too many years ago, it was suggested that eating Mickey Mouse-taste like chicken-could supply a plentiful and alternative meat source. Even if rats tasted like roast beef, there would still be a great deal of hesitation on the part of most Americans to dive-in and eat a hearty rat burger, so the idea of eating one’s own pet…that’s not happening either.

The three things we know about our cat, he sleeps most of the time, he occasionally pukes due to eating too quickly, and his litter box works overtime. He doesn’t like people and that, I dare say, would not improve if he were living in fear of becoming the next meal. He has great long hair-the hairballs are another source of constant irritation around here-and he is not overly clean, although he constantly cleans himself between eating and sleeping. There is nothing that would make me look at this cat and think ‘gee, he might go well with beans and potato salad.’ And the dog, well, that’s another kettle of unclean fish altogether. He lives outside because he is too big, too nasty, and not a very bright fellow, but he does have a loveable nature about him. Eat him; forget about it, he doesn’t even smell appealing.

I’m afraid while some might be considering the delicacies of Kitty Fritters, Dog-Nuts, and Guinea Pig Pie, we will stick to the old standbys; the cow, the chicken, the fish, and the piggies. Given the choice between eating my cat or milkweed, the milkweed sounds great. We’ll just dash a bit of pepper juice on the stuff and hope the paramedics come to our rescue in good time.

The election results were not just a referendum on Obama and the Democrats, they were the people striking back at the government the only way they can in a peaceful fashion; by voting the corruption and spending out of their states. The congress men and women that wish to keep their seats in the senate in 2010, might want to take a long hard look at what did happen in two states where government got out of control before they vote in favor of the massively inadequate, over the top spending in the proposed health care reform bill. Americans cast a loud vote saying, “We’re mad as hell and we won’t take it anymore!”

Madame Pelosi says she has listened to the voice of the people while overseeing the health care reform; however, her little voices in her head must be talking too loud for her to hear the real people. The Democrats are in denial now, but in the next year they best get around to the reality that socialism and any attempts toward that end will be halted by the American people. No doubt, they would love to see us all scattered, bloody and bleeding before they would have the good sense to STOP SPENDING what the people cannot cover monetarily…it’s just not that simple. Madame, have you heard the people now…or are those the Nazi, redneck, racist-inbred, that you thought you heard this past summer?

Greta Van Susteren is a kind and extremely fair hostess with her guest, even those who are making totally absurd remarks, as with Hillary Clinton who seems to have forgotten that their her husband Willy Bill failed to deal with Al Qaeda when the time was right. Greta asked why the Pakistani people are now blaming us for the advanced state of the Taliban-now, we all know they would not associate with Al Qaeda-aggression. While forgetting about the 8-years her husband spent in office ignoring problems in that region, Hillary placed the blame and mistrust on George W. Bush.

Giving the dog his dues, George W. screwed up a few times…and that would put him the league of extraordinary men who have actually led this nation and not always been in the right place at the right time. Willy Bill Clinton is in that same league, as Tom Snyder pointed out when men were sent to bomb Afghanistan during Monica-Gate. Snyder said that the men who piloted those planes should have a picture of Monica Lewinsky so that they would know what their mission was really about…just post a picture of her in each plane. Willy Bill Clinton is one of a few men able to balance the budget, in his last year as president, but he also had the bad sense to send American jobs overseas through NAFTA, which led to a loss of jobs and an economically dangerous situation-so proud that our loss has made the Chinese people’s lives easier. The lists of wrongs and rights with each president since George Washington has to be measured equally or the party of no blame gets away with murdering reputations through slander.

I wondered, until this past week, how anyone could think that Hillary Clinton could act in diplomatic matters with a sense of style, decorum, and good sense; then it was made clear that Obama needed Clinton allies to carry out his radical agenda. Lest we forget, Hillary Clinton-while first lady of this nation-was thrown out of a New York bar for abusive language towards another patron. When confronted, she tried to remind the proprietor that she was first lady. The proprietor/management still took the necessary actions because poor behavior applied, at that time, to everyone. Hillary’s penchant for bullying the opponent will not work in the world of diplomacy, and mistrust between Pakistan and the United States did not start with George W. Bush, nor will it end with Barack Obama and his legion of misfits.

Duct tape, new clothes, and a better hairstyle for Hillary will serve diplomatic purposes better than blaming the former administration.

My husband told me, not long back, that when he finally had had all of the political “BS” he could take; he would likely run for congress. While it’s not clear where he would come by the funds to undertake such a race, it’s starting to hit many working-class men in the same vein. Though the common man is not seeking to secure a congressional seat, many feel that they could do a far-better job than that done by the present congress. They do not feel obligated to backstab the congressmen and women, in fact most would let the records of those presently screwing up the system stand for themselves. Little need be said about the massive-corruption taking place in Washington D. C. within congress and the present administration.

Frankly, my own preference would be to undergo water boarding with bamboo shoots shoved under my nails than to take part in the congressional backstabbing and deal making while securing pork stimulated packages for lobbyist. A piece in the Washington Times pointed out clearly what most of the voters are feeling about elections, politicians, and media influence; we’re fed up with the combination of mud slinging, and poll-driven opinions that have wrecked havoc on what was once a decent process undertaken by the public to insure proper representation in the halls of congress. The one thing that most voters, whether they are Democrats, Republicans, or Independents, will agree upon is that we are fed up with the candidates throwing shadows upon one another instead of talking about the issues that their districts face. It’s immature, ugly, unhelpful, and most of all unnecessary. We can smell a skunk without someone pointing out the stripe down his or her back.

It is unlikely that the man choosing to run for office will have worked a 9 to 5 job, manual labor, or have a real sense of what the public needs, but with all the angry and slanderous campaigning that has become the “norm” during election races its difficult to know which of the men that has thrown in his hat might have a brain beneath it. When he awakens, does he have to peel off the dollar signs over his eyes, or do they appear shortly after the first cup of Latte? Will he even remember the people that elected him once he gets into a routine of appeasing lobbyist and dealing his constituents the short end of the stick to supplement his ever-growing need to accumulate wealth? The long and the short of an election race are dependent upon the politician that holds the least amount of animosity towards his district. It’s little wonder they sling mud at one another due to the depth of earth they crawl out from under.

We headed north last night passing through several towns on our road to Durant Oklahoma, and all the house were dark. The few children that we did see dressed for Trick or Treat were heading into churches and schools for their evening of fun. My grandchildren went to the school carnival that has become the standard since so many perverts have found entertainment in poisoning or mutilating children on Halloween through the candies they doled out. It is truly sad that just a generation ago, children could trick or treat at their neighbor’s house without fear of what they might be given in their little bags and totes meant to keep candy for later enjoyment.

A notion of how this could be rectified occurred to me too late to do anything about this year, but those of us who would love to see the little faces and masks of Halloween appear at their doors next year, might consider the following: We can go to our local law enforcement offices and have them run background checks, take our licenses, and check our residency, so that they will have a list of safe houses that children can trick or treat and know they will be safe. We need to find a way to give Halloween back to the children in the fashion that it was meant to be celebrated. Most of us have memories, that these little ones will never have, if something is not done to make all-things right again.

Any suggestions that will make Halloween safe again should be added and we should start a national campaign to keep children safe and happy for Halloween the way it should be, and the way we had the pleasure of celebrating it so many years ago. After all, a politician should not be the only trusted person in the United States where Halloween is concerned…we rarely trust them with anything else.

Has anyone ever actually seen $1 trillion? If that much money were dropped on the little town where I live, it would require the residents to “dig out” of the money so that they could leave their homes. It is like a blizzard of green raining down from Heaven. Superman could not fly through a storm of money that added up to trillions of dollars. Okay, all joking aside, it’s a “chit-pot-full” of money. You can read Forbes 500 and never see a man or family whose fortune is estimated to be $1 trillion, but that does not deter our congress from spending that amount on 15 percent of the population in order to give us all truly bad medicine.

The CBO estimates that the bill, as it stands, will cost $600 billion over the next 10-years, and that is without the piece of legislature they have worked on to reimburse doctors for Medicare that will total another $247 billion. If every working-class Joe went to Capitol Hill, right now, and emptied his bank account on the steps of the Congressional building, we could not begin to pay for the expansive health care monster that Madame Pelosi is bragging about having written under her tutelage. Even if Madame Pelosi had her husband’s assets liquidated and dumped-yea, that’s going to happen-on the steps it would make little difference in the monetary long run.

If every working-class Joe’s bank account won’t cover this monster bill and only 15 percent of the population is the problem, then why is congress punishing the bulk of the people to pay for it? Good question, but there is only one answer; it’s not about health care, it’s about corruption and control. All hail the “narced-up” Pelosi for her efforts in raping the United States under the guise of better medical treatment for the poor and illegal of this nation.

Many catch phrases become over-used, as people tend to think themselves chic by the usage of the phrase. “Less is more,” most often used to describe decorative trends, became annoying as every word-wise punk began to tell their audience that simplicity was the way to go. “Yo momma,” has started more fights than greedy men seeking power, and “bling-bling” got terribly tiresome and boring after the fifty-fifth use of the phrase. The numerous movies that have “I’ve got a really bad feeling about this” in their dialogue, at some point, became predictable. So with words counting for more than actions, the Obama administration has begun labeling every policy or attempted policy and program as “a history-making event.”

Hillary Clinton in describing her attempts to resolve the issue of legitimate power in Honduras has told the press that her efforts are “an historic agreement.” Olympia Snowe decided to flip-flop on her history-making signature, and Nancy Pelosi described the 1990-page health care proposal as a historic event on Wednesday. Everything that has been done under this administration has become a “historic event.”

It’s surprising that the first real constitutional Obama took after moving into the White House was not bagged and labeled for historic content.

When man discovered that round things roll that was historic. When the first really, really cold individual found out that friction could create heat that was historic. When the first light bulb shown on history, all hailed the invention as “historic,” but policy making deals that might condemn a population to servitude, congressional spending out of control, and a government ignoring the will of the people it has sworn to protect, are not historic events. These are the things that lead to historic events such as revolution, war, and the signing of peace treaties after the facts.

Yes, even noble words can get tiresome when over-used by dimwitted politicians.

Seems the only time that the liberals remember the little people of this nation is when they are interested in promoting a cause, or interested in population control and indoctrination. The latest liberal video in support of health care reform sounds as if it were written by Representative Grayson of Florida as children rebuke those who are against the proposed package by saying that we want them to die. If such a stretch of the imagination were possible, then that would still put the conservative ahead of the liberal in that we would at least give them life and protection while they are still in the womb.

It was insulting, to say the least, that the Democrats used Christianity in one earlier attempt to make the majority fold to it’s will, but this latest has surpassed insulting and has become disgusting. The Democrats are “all-in” on support of abortion and yet they use the children that would not exist-left up to them-to now shame those who do not support their efforts to socialize medicine. What they are doing, in fact what anyone does by attempting to use children to gain favor for appropriations, is to abuse the most innocent minds and bodies of children.

How many people believe that children in an age range whose idols are Mylie Cyrus and Optumus Prime actually understand what health care is all about? They do not understand the deficit, nor do they much know or care what a president and congress really does for or too the people. They understand simpler things, such as playtime is cool and school is boring. Barbie and Ken don’t want to be senators; they want to be rock stars. My 3-year-old granddaughter does not understand the true meaning behind why Dora and Kai Lan teach her alternate words for the words she is still learning in English, she just thinks they’re her friends and until she knows otherwise I will allow her to watch the cartoons.

The children used in commercials and videos to teach the adults what they should do are pawns in a game that has become more dangerous than most of us realize. The use, abuse, and abortion, of young minds are ugly tools of propaganda that do nothing but anger people of the Christian faith and belief in freedom. What has become all the more worrisome is that adults, supposedly acting as guardians to these children, have allowed them to be used for a purpose that has monetary assignments that will cripple their futures. Granted, there are those amongst us that groom their children to earn them a fine living-stage moms, desperate has-been dads, and the lot-but there is no purpose behind using children to further a political agenda and no excuse for having done so. Videos and commercials using children to further a political agenda are on a par with the Balloon Boy’s parents attempt to get a reality show.

Bonnie, Clyde, and the gang-here to fore known as Pelosi, Reid, and the liberals-have reached new human lows in their desperation to gain control of medical profits and the minds of the American people.

Vacationing at Camp David, flying to France with the family, pleading the case for Chicago to the IOC, playing golf every Sunday, 28-campaign events to raise money and support for the Democratic Party, stalling gays on the marriage act (just another city to see and unhappy people to make), a basketball game excluding women at the White House, and we wonder why Obama cannot make time to decide what the best strategy for Afghanistan might be? That whole 30-minute episode aboard Air Force One with General McChrystal is making less, and less sense as we think of all the time Obama has to enjoy while the taxpayers are wondering if they will have a job or home next week, next month, or next year.

Okay, I’ll say it; “Air Force One has seen more action since Obama was inaugurated than a twenty-five cent hooker without panty hose.” If Obama is not jetting about the country or the world in the big bird, he’s stepping off Marine One waving and half-asswardly saluting the marine who stands proudly at guard. Talk about your carbon footprint! Between Barack and Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, the skies over Europe made Big Foot look like a little leaguer in the game of Global Warming.

And that’s another thing, stop eating meat because the production of said product leaves a massive carbon footprint. I am a carnivore, my dad is a carnivore, his dad was a carnivore, and we have a long line of meat eaters in the genealogical pool. We love our iron-rich photosynthesizing veggies as well, but broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes, and carrots are just not a meal without steak, chicken, fish, or pork. For God’s sake, I’m not building nuclear warheads in the back yard, just sitting around drinking a brewski and watching the hubby grill up a nice fat juicy piece of anti-global, love-handle making meat.

We start our day at 5 a.m., around here, and are dressed and drinking coffee, watching the news and getting milk, cereal, and a diaper change for the baby. I haven’t seen a pair of pajamas this year, because the end of the day comes quickly when the last 12-hours were spent getting the oldest grandchild on the bus, getting the baby down for a nap, and settling in the 3-year-old so that she does not kill herself while I write a minor blog and start a load of blue jeans-the hubby is sexy, but it’s not wise to send him to work naked. My husband and I spent a lot of hours on the road, in the last 2 years, but it was not a joy ride or vacation, it was work. The idea of a vacation seems like a pipe dream that other people have and we only participate in as voyeurs.

Between pull-up disasters, 8 diapers changes daily, housework, lunch, dinner, and the occasional homework assignment that I understand well-enough to be of some assistance, I have no time to dream about that distant vacation that we would have been able to take if congress had not decided that we should share our wealth. That reminds me, we need to call the bank and explain that we are wealthy enough that people, like Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, have decided we have too much money left over at the end of the month. That is certain to get a snicker from the loan officer we cannot afford to see about purchasing anything that has a price tag over two hundred dollars.

I would donate my old jeans, but they’re 3-years-old and in need of repair and I’m still wearing them because there is no money in the budget for clothing. We live as most of Middle-America does, from week-to-week and month-to-month and manage to help the parents, kids, and grandkids, as much as possible, but we’re not complaining…just puzzled where that need to spread the wealth ideology comes from. We hear those like Obama-with his half a billion wealth accumulated from novelty items before he took office-talking about how the wealth must be shared. He could send us a few million and we would distribute it evenly with others who have worked hard and are still coming up short, but we just don’t have the time to get second jobs so that some illegal alien, or lazy American will not have to put on his work boots and attend a financial windfall of his own.

Now that I have accurately described what irks the living hell out of me about redistribution of wealth, it’s time to ask when Obama is going to get to work on the real problems facing this nation and quit spending taxpayer’s dollars for a 4-year long vacation in the sun and spotlight of the world.
