No bomb-throwing here but I do want to touch on some of latest headlines. I haven’t been completely under a rock. Just enough to be comfortably out of the way. Let me briefly comment on some stories of late.
Despite its troubles, America is still a great place. So great that literally everyone from the developing world wants to come here. Now, as always, it seems teeming masses are crossing the southern border from Mexico. Some esteemed members of the body politic are elated; others are aghast. Immigration isn’t one of my core issues so I will keep this simple. I know politics – Obama and the charming chaps in Congress. Nothing will be done. And nothing good will come of this situation.
Yeah, yeah. Soccer is the biggest sport in the solar system. I’m happy the U.S. team is faring well. They are, right? I just can’t watch it. I do like the game – when my daughter’s team plays. Heck, I even went to the league championship. World Cup, no.
Has anyone the foggiest idea what is happening in Iraq. We’re siding with our enemy to keep our other enemy from helping our friends who used to be our enemies in their fight against our old friend who is now… All for nothing. There is, never was, and never will be any justification or rationale for our bumbling in Iraq and most other parts of the world. If not for the horrible loss of life, liberty and resources at issue, this situation would be a complete comedy – Mel Brooks style. Whenever you hear someone comment on the war, insurgency, mission accomplished, whatever and they don’t say, “Get out forever! Not our business!”, they’re either idiots or conspirators or both.
Federal Debt, Spending, and Budget – the lack of news…
Maybe the rock blocked my reception but I don’t recall hearing much about these topics lately. Did they balance the budget or go back on the gold standard in my absence? When you don’t hear about something from the media, they’re trying to hide it. All the other stories are diversions. Anyway, enough said for now. I can’t fix it. Can you?
Lastly – Mysterious Tick-Like Insect Invade Pennsylvania
Mystery solved! Congress must be out of session.
Okay, this was kind of lame. I’m warming up.
