Let's get nuts....

I recently started listening to ALL the Sunday talking head programs. YUP. 60 minutes, Fox News Sunday, Meet the Press, This week with Stephenopolis, et al. Yup at least 5 hours of wonderful politicians saying the same things. Democrats supporting, Republicans opposing, Distortion of facts on both sides, Etc. ...

It is actually like being in a class of 25 kids with only 10 juice boxes. Some will cry, some will fight, some will just look around and wonder what in the world is happening. What this world needs is an adult to come in and lay down some rules of behavior. Oh wait, that won't happen. That would require the role of a moral code of conduct and we are not allowed to have that anymore.

We are now spending $1,000,000,000 a day. That is $16,666,667/second -- Not even the Steinbrenner's can spend that much money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Netherlands beat the Dominican Republic at the WBC. Kinda like Camden County High beating the CUBS in the World Series.

We are leaving Iraq by 2011. This would be great news, except that The Messiah will receive the credit for George Bush's negotiation with Iraq. Remember the SOFA agreements before he left office?

A Late night addition: From the AP

"Confronting misgivings, even in his own party, President Barack Obama mounted a stout defense of his blueprint to overhaul the economy Thursday, declaring the national crisis is "not as bad as we think" and his plans will speed recovery. Challenged to provide encouragement as the nation's "confidence builder in chief," Obama said Americans shouldn't be whipsawed by bursts of either bad or good news and he was "highly optimistic" about the long term. "

This is from the guy who accused the Bush administration of fabricating the numbers in order to push their own interests. Once again I will say this: One of the oldest rules in economics is that you can use the tools, but you have to give them time to take effect. The TARP package was not given the time to work. So we passed the $800 billion stimulus package and now we are saddled with Double the outrageous debt left by Bush and a ton of regulations that most Americans did not want in the first place. CITI group now has no need for further government money, by thier own admission. How much longer until the rest of the street turns around?

Until next time remember, the next line in Batman (1989):

"Tell me do you ever dance with the Devil in the Pale moonlight?"
