To begin: Sticky is out only a couple weeks, He has his first review. By whom? (Big drum roll…!...,.!)
...!!...!! Lindie! !! !!
Wonderful, she was the first person to comment on my journal and now the first person to review the book. Thanks Lindie..That was great!


Today’s entry:

I am reading headlines.. “The man who was going to govern from the middle is picking some sharp partisan elbows”


“The Man who was going to bring in folks that were not part of the establishment, is hiring the establishment left and right.”


“New Administration Looks like the Clinton Administration.”


Lord help us, they need a story and will make one whether there is one or not. Am looking at a honey moon gone sour already?


I hear the First Dog bit a Reporter, good for him.


A reporter down here in Florida quoted a black woman: “I don’t have to worry about gas now, Obama gonna get me some gas, I won’t have to pay the rent, he is gonna pay that too.” Now is that quote worthy of print? NO! It is divisive. And the statement is ignorant. I did not like it.


What I am trying to say is, let’s try to use some common sense on what you hear and read. Keep listening. Sometimes they are just a step above Jerry Springer, they need something to bleed, so they will find someone to cut. The highest profile makes the best target. You know the media axiom “If it bleeds it leads!”


They won’t beat the corpse too long, before they will look for new targets. Obama’s administration is next. I remember reading some Hillary fans on their blogs say Obama is a fake, unpatriotic. I would stay home before I would vote for him. One of those bloggers now says Obama is the Saviour and it would take a nut not to give him a chance.


On the other side during the primaries I read on a forum: “McCain is a misfit, a liar and pro abortion, I am a lifelong Republican, but if McCain is the Nominee I will vote for Ron Paul.” Later I read the same man say, “If you don’t vote for McCain you cannot be a Christian!”


WE find it hard to keep our mouths shut sometimes. Most folks knew if Hillary lost they would back Obama. On the other hand folks knew if Huckabee (or whoever) did not win they would back who ever the nominee was. Why do we feel we have to be so nasty?


I have never known a time I was not proud to be an American. A couple times I was ashamed of my president and some congressmen (from both parties), but NEVER have I been ashamed to say I am an American!


Folks this is the greatest country in the world….God Bless America!

PS:
Now that I have said that, two days after the election was my steady’s birthday. I had the rare privilege to see some movies of her from 1985-86, I married a beautiful lady. I got a little mad though, I was there, I had hair and a black beard back then. Ha!


Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!.



Things you buy now won't wear out..

You can eat supper at 4 pm. .

You can live without sex(?) but not your glasses.

You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
