Is right. I hear talk now of putting off the public option but I'm not buying it. They just love to pass things anyway when the lights are out!!That's why I call them the Democrats of darkness.

A couple things that drives me

over the edge

1. That pointy finger being waved in our faces letting us know we are naughty little children messing around in business that is only for the grown ups.

2. The sleight of hand politics going on. While they are making a lot of noise and commotion on the right hand so we're watching that, they stealthily shove something through with their left hand so we won't notice what's happened until it's too late.

The Dark Room

Hey, Blackwater 79, I agree with your assessment that these … people … do things in the dark of night and not out in the sunshine for all to see. Personally I don’t see diddly difference between the “public option” and the “co-op option” the Republicans are floating. Governments fingers in any private part of our lives and we lose more and more sovereignty.

Well you had my teeth grinding, that’s for sure, especially your description of the finger wave. Drives me bats too. And you are right on target, IMO, when it comes to the stealth-shoving process used in D.C. these days. But hey, clearly they are NOT fooling all the people all the time.

Your right, Obama was not very impressive at those town hall meetings over the weekend trying to sell his plan. That was just one question you posted.

Obama: And now ladies and gentlemen, watch as I pull money out of hat....

I seriously wonder if Obama is making things up as he goes.

I danced to that great Beatles song in 1968 or 1969 (LP, of course). I wish I had known then what I know now.

Mrs. AL, if this keeps up we all better start stocking up on "canned goods and shotguns".

You need to consider writing for a sitcom or late night program. That was funny! I would only add that if this president doesn’t get the money out of a hat, he is going to try and pull it out of the posterior end of U.S. Citizens who pay taxes.

Well heck, you couldn’t know then what you know now. I had the LP as well and sang right along (liked the Beatles’ tunes and harmonization and didn’t always evaluate the words back then -- and still can’t dance worth a lick).

Guess buy it cheap and stack it deep doesn’t apply any more. Thank goodness we have provisions here to get us through a short-term upheaval (hurricane aftermath, zombies on the prowl, etc).

to Our Posterity and thank you for taking time to comment. Sure hope you are finding more blogs to comment on … I can vouch for those who comment here for sure.

Convulsions, eh? Sounds serious to me. Wonder what the cure could be … And the hot air is not only “the TRUE global warming,” -- it’s tilting the axis of the planet and causing very bad storms – haha.

Indeed, Pirates can be mungers. Seems to me they would be excellent mungers. God Bless you as well, Mike.

We can listen to all the town hall meetings and still not know what is in the President’s brain by what he says. Got to listen for what is NOT SAID to unlock the key to that one.

IMHO, D.C. has enough proctologists – they are called Czars and answer to no one for any of their actions EXCEPT the president.

Hey, write something for a show or something and submit it. What could it hurt? Worse that could happen is that it isn’t used.

Yo, Mrs. AL! The deficit is now $9,000,000,000,000! So prezbo and famdamily go on vacation for ten days, $35,000 a week rent (not including lobsters and wagyu beef). Whatsamatta with Chicago? Don`t they have a manse there in an exclusive enclave? A personal, private famdamily vacation and yet even Fox News had a FN alert when they all dripped off AF1. Shall we make book that prezy cannot stay off TV or will he get all wee weed up again and have the audacity of dope to say again, "we are partners with God in life and death." I am stunned he continually gets away with blatant blasphemy and vivid stupidity.

Been having lots of troubles getting/staying online, rainy season here. Haven`t posted for a long time. So disgusted, what more can be said! Another fun blog by you, Mrs. AL, and a great place to rant!

Why you hadn’t posted for awhile. I do look forward to swinging by.

Guess since Chicago has come to D.C., the President needs to find a new corner of the country to bring his brand of community organizing skill set. And by the way, you sound like someone who is highly skeptical that the economy is in recovery. Didn’t you get the email from the White House telling you all is well?

Mrs. Al

Loved your article. Points out that we have NO money to do any of these programs and just listening to that man some call our president is like finger nails on the blackboard to me.

Now yesterday the WH comes out saying they were wrong about the deficit, it will be more like 9 trillion instead of 7 trillion.

Today, the real bean counters come out with their figures and Fox business news said it will be even higher, more like 12 to 20 trillion.

What I want him and his useful idiots to do is to drop all these programs we can't afford, but according to Glenn Beck this is purposely being done to bankrupt our country and bring us down to our knees and into Marxism. I believe Glenn Beck. I do not believe Mr. Obummer.
