Dear World,
Stop whining and start living!
I am very proud to be an American. I am really disgusted with people that want to find an excuse to blame all of the evil that happens around the world on the United States.

National pride is good in moderation. A national superiority complex is dangerous. A short guy from Austria a short guy from France, history is full of examples of the dangers of overwhelming national pride.
Hundreds of years ago scientists discovered that the universe did not revolve around Earth. It is well past time for people to understand that the Earth does not revolve around the United States! This is as important a fact for our citizens as well as the citizens of other nations.
This is another topic that could turn in to a rant. The points that I would like to spell out are actually pretty simple. If you are a citizen of the United States stop accepting responsibility for the entire planet and stop apologizing for being Americans! To everyone else, stop blaming us and accept responsibility for improving yourselves!
I am ok with the rolled up sleeves and the loosened tie but does he have to whistle while he works? I am reasonably certain his employer sponsored insurance would cover orthodontia or at least a dental appliance to kill the screaming s. I don’t know if it has gotten worse due to the basketball injury or is being amplified to distract from the hollow words issuing from our Presidents mouth.
Pregnant lady decides if child lives or dies. Insurance Company decides if Grandma is treated or dies. Which situation is more evil? Should I be paying for either one of these decisions even though I disagree with both?
This is a quote from an ABC article.
Crosshairs is a political phrase that emerged from Palin’s political action committee SarahPac that targeted congressional districts for the Tea Party campaign in the last election, including the district of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

For someone to imply that Sarah Palin is in any way responsible for the phrase “in the crosshairs” is ridiculous. That phrase in one form or another is probably as old or older than I am. As to putting a crosshair graphic on a map? Look at the zoom control on any electronic map.
We used to wait until something was actually known about the deranged killer before a conclusion was reached. We would hear about the tragedy that it was for the victims, their families or the community. Not so very long ago we reached out with compassion for the people. My first wish for the Genie would be that people cared about people again not causes. The second wish would be that news agencies lead with the news not opinion!
Title: Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009
Became Public Law No: 111-8 [GPO: Text, PDF]
(Sec. 110) Includes the state of Nevada in the program for Pacific Coastal salmon recovery.
This is a small item I tripped over while investigating the Arizona immigration law. Geography is not one of my strongest subjects but I am certain that Nevada is not a coastal state. I haven’t watched the national news for a few days but I am pretty certain I would have heard about California sliding into the ocean.

1. If your 1040 says you are poor the U.S. Government will pay you to stay poor.
2. If during a calendar year you achieve sufficient income the U.S. Government will not only stop paying you the Government will seize your money to pay a poor person to not work.
I can work and be poor or I can stay home and get paid for being poor?
I wonder if maybe unemployment is 9.7% because going to work doesn’t pay!
The EPA has declared CO2 a health hazard. Does this mean that Coca-Cola will have to add a warning label?
Will I have to buy carbon credits for a belching contest? I am certain there is much more to ponder on this topic and anxiously await suggestions.
Election agencies in several states today announced that despite widespread voter fraud across the country the re-election of Barrack Obama as President Of The United States would be confirmed. The Supreme court announced that it would not accept any motion to appeal the decision.
In accordance with the prophecy of the Mayan calendar it is the end of the world.
I deleted Swine Flu II. That was a post written with emotion not any base in fact. My friend will probably become part of the H1N1 statistic. The truth is he had a heart problem that could have taken him with the next cough, sneeze or handful of stairs.
Knowing this takes me rationally back to this is a truly untested untrustworthy vaccine. For whatever my opinion is worth I won’t take the shot.
We were working on a package to present for sale. I lost my graphics man. He was supposed to come up with some prophenol dart holders and a Neverland case. Once we had the graphics ready I was going to write a Billy Mays sales pitch. I am artistically challenged and far too introverted for paid commercial advertising so I will post what I have so far. I am forced to solicit someone to help me complete the project before I can begin approaching someone to manufacture the finished product.
Oops, I almost forgot the prescription pad scorecards.
My consolation is we didn’t have any unfinished business. My true sadness is we don’t have any more tomorrows.
Goodbye brother Jim
