Fire Congress!

I have lost all faith in Congress.  At time when my retirement savings are losing thousands of dollars in the most recent economic crisis, I put my trust in the advice and recommendations put forth not by Congress or even the White House but in that of Hank Paulson the Treasury Secretary.

On the wrong side of the Motherhood

For the past 7 months I have had the unique opportunity to experience life as a “Stay at home Dad.” I want to say that it has been the most valuable time in my life. I want to say that I enjoyed every single minute of it. I really do.

The reality is, is that these damn kids are driving me nuts. I say that with a grin on my face because I love these kids more than anything. It is just that I have come to the realization that I was not programmed to be a stay at home Dad.

Obama Tech Policy Paper: Employ Technology and Innovation to Solve Our Nation’s Most Pressing Problems

The first thing about this section which intrigued me was the use of the word “solved” over something more proactive like “eliminate” or “reduce.” Personally I would opt for the word “reduce” only because some of that which ails the U.S. right now cannot possibly be solved in either a 4 or 8 year Presidency. Some of these problem in this nation have either been around for decades or have developed unabated over the course of Decades.

I understand that setting goals are what politicians do but some might consider these to be biting off a bit more than one can chew. Time will tell and I realize that 1/2 the battle is to get some of the solutions in place to allow them to grow and mature which is why I have a slight issue with the word “solve.”

The Silent British Invasion?

There would appear to be a quiet British Invasion going on in the music industry. It is unlike that “Big Bang” invasion that was witnessed in the ’60s with the likes of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Those were all out barrages on the American music scene. This one is much smaller and mostly composed of women.

There is an undertow of solid music hitting the scene. Most based on mainstream pop beats and tempos that get the toe tapping. There are a few however that have tapped into the recipe that makes the likes of Mary J, Beyonce as popular as they are across the globe.

Semper Fi Anthony

One of my longest friends in life informed me today that it is official. Her son Anthony has sworn in to become a United States Marine. Now I could go on and on about how he is nothing yet and that he won’t be until he walks across the same parade ground that my Father, my Uncle and I walked across at Marine Corp Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina. But I won’t.

What is the Election about then?

Today, McCain’s press guy made the statement that this Election is “not about the issues.” I almost spit out my coffee when I heard that comment. As someone who is sick and tired of the bi-partisan bull coming out of Washington, I need this election to be about the issues, I mean WTF?!?!
