The RNC

“Make my day”. Well I am sure that Mitt Romney isn’t agreeing with his campaign managers that Clint Eastwood made Mitt's day. However, the ratings for late night will go up and through the roof as Mr. Eastwood’s calendar will most certainly be booked full in the coming weeks. 

My Head Hurts what about yours?

In a time of environmental turmoil, government disenchantment, high unemployment, religious upheaval, and geographic colonization, our future seems almost hopeless. Where does one focus his/her attention, commitment, and energy?   If you live in California, specifically, San Francisco the important topics are numerous and each must be considered with equal anxiety.   Most issues are surprising even to the people that make it their lifelong purpose to consider and find the worst of everything in life. 

What is on top of the mind most San Franciscans? I thought about this question for a while and I came up with a list of what may be waking us during the night with cold sweats in our silk pajamas.  The following topics flood the local and national newscasts for what feels like around the clock reinforcing all the negativity in the world.  What is important to deal with first that is the question?  What would resolve or solve these crises so we can all get back to doing whatever it is that we do after watching the morning news (negative energy while sitting/standing).  My head started hurting putting this list together.

 Japanese Nuclear Crisis

The non-working radiation detectors on the West coast

Ousting Libya’s Qaddafi regime

The National Budget approval

The States (California) budget approval

Unemployment (Job Creation)

Foreclosures 

Corporate Greed

Homeless in San Francisco

America’s Cup Race

PROP 8

Disappearing 6oz Irish coffee glasses (Should San Francisco sue Buena Vista  for hoarding all the glasses from the rest of the restaurants?)

The Iraq war

The Afghanistan war

The Libyan war

Iranian issue

North Korean issue

Iranian espionage on US soil

Another terrorist attack

Google’s takeover of Silicon Valley

The floating islands of plastic and trash in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Amazon not paying sales tax

Oil shortage

Deteriorating pipes

Southern California succession from the North

Supporting the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters

Oh boy, I sure could listen to  an hour long Jim Rohn audiobook right now

Professional protesters...Guess who pays for their right to free speech?

It is the 99.9% of hard working tax payers like you and me that earn money everyday that make occupy "Wall Street" protesting possible. Who do you think cleans up their mess. Where do "they" come from anyway?  How many are receiving unemployment paid for by the corporations and small business?  How many are on Welfare or other public subsidy that is being funded by those still working ? I am sorry but the groups of protesters in front of the Market Street Federal Reserve building or residing on the Herman Plaza just don't strike me as being credible spokespersons for the 98.9%.  What are they protesting? They are protesting against the hands that feed them.  Most don't even know what they are talking about.  All of them are followers not one leader in the bunch  from what I see and hear.  What category would I label the protesters?  This is how I would break it down.

1.00% (innovators, job creators,  wealth builders, charity contributors, etc.) (BTW I think the new current percentage is at 5%)

98.9% (unrecognized future innovators, future  job creators, future wealth builders, future millionaires, present charity contributors too, etc.)

.1% (the wanters, the takers, non-contributers, users of the system, the ungrateful few, etc.)

Will the Silent Majority finally speak out in the 2012 Election?

• Health Care in shambles, is it repairable?  I don’t think the current version can be fix. What do you think?
• Three expensive conflicts in the Middle East. (All politicians are to be thanked for these opportunities.  Thank you.)
• Rising government debt threatens America’s financial stability. What should happen: Raise the debt ceiling? Default on our obligations?  The American people should foreclose on the government then take it over close some parts down sell others off to private enterprise, terminate a layer of middle-management then reorganize like a good corporation.  Oh, and give them a Cobra health care policy they have to pay themselves for 18 months.
• Pakistan turns out to have two faces (One side smiles at the US and the other side laughs all the way to their bank).  We’re saying that 800 million is being cut from a few billion.  How much are we donating to terrorism?
• Senators and House Representatives are too old and gray to remember the oath of office they took to uphold the Constitution of the United States.  Their secret oath is to their back pockets and those lobbyist that bought their loyalty.  
• We’re a welfare state now and the baby boomers want it that way, at least until their gone.  Afterwards those of us that are left holding the basket can change the entitlements however we want.  I don’t think Franklin Roosevelt had in mind how we’d abuse the welfare systems he supported and sculpted for the benefit of so many Americans of the depression era.  If the presidents of the modern era didn’t have a war to fight (Korean War, Vietnam War, Grenada conflict, Mexican Drug Wars, Desert Storm, Iraq War, 911, Afghanistan, conflict in Libya, etc.)  they wouldn't have anything to claim to their fame.  BTW. I am boomer too but don't let that stop you from commenting.
• 
  
• America has been taking a back seat to Europe since WWII.   I am not saying we should turn our heads away from our neighbors but when are we going to rebuild America?  Our infrastructure is getting to the same condition many third world countries are today.  If we don’t focus on ourselves a little we won’t be able to help anyone else.

What do you say silent majority?

Poor Pets Periodical .........Find out if your pet is slowly being poisoned.

I don't belong to any animal rights activists group not even those fur fearing PETA folks but I couldn't help feeling mortified after reading an article about the poisons in many pet foods. The article was very difficult to read and it made me sick to run down the list of ingredients put into pet foods today. There isn't any oversight of what goes into pet foods like there is for human food according to the article, however, their are rules and regulations overseeing packaging labels.  At least pets aren't having to ingest packaging labels and these may be the only things that aren't in some pet foods from what this article insinuates.  Beware that this article isn't easy to read so you'll need a strong stomach to get through the parts that describe what your pets are eating and why everyday you feed your pet unnatural food like this they are getting sicker. The article is seventeen pages long and if you want to read the details request additional information from me, and about how you can "treat" your pet(s) with healthily and safe alternatives.

Health and Patriotism Align?

I recently read a Diet and Health book that was first published in 1918, that stated that it was unpatriotic to be fat.  Based on this statement President Obama looks to be more patriotic than many of the overweight Washington, DC politicians.

How much is being an American worth?

Is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness worth paying someone $7000, being humiliated lower than domestic livestock or even dying for?   If you are already an American citizen and you're not sure what it's worth you should start by asking the 531 souls that were caught being smuggled in container trucks with conditions so deplorable that the humane society and Peta people would have run any business out of town on a rail tarred and feathered for treating animals so badly.  The smugglers need to be stowed in a shipping container and transported to the middle of the Sahara desert and released.  Leave them the container for shelter we're not inhumane.

Debt forgiveness........How generous we are

Mr. President, I just read where you forgave $1 billion in debt from Egypt.  Great job Mr. President and generous too.   Now lets focus on me for just a moment.  The following letter will explain further.

Dear Mr. President, 

I respectfully submit this request that you forgive taxes owed by me to any state or federal government for the next ten (10) no twenty (20) years.

Thank you Mr. President for your prompt attention to this important request.

Sincerely,

Voting Citizen

Make Room on the Planet!

Something Nice!

I have heard the phrase that many Americans are “morbidly obese” and even though healthcare costs continue to rise, people are not changing their eating habits. Thousands of people are falling ill to diabetes, high blood pressure, and any number of related heart problems that are deceases attributed directly to being overweight. Fast food businesses continue to show huge profits, why is that? Having time on my hands to ponder worldly problems like this, I believe I have a solution for making more room on the planet. My idea is to require every person that falls into the “morbidly obese” category to lose enough weight (not original I know) and to bring their body fat index down to a medical industry recognizable and healthy level. This in turn will reduce the diameter of most humans affecting the space occupied by every person. In turn we all get a little more elbow room you might say.   There are many benefits for being a healthier, smaller, or more narrow (physically I mean) person whichever description is politically correct. Consider other problems like the short list below that can be solved too:

• Eating less means less trash and garbage in landfills (Environmentalist happier)
• Less water is used when the body is smaller/thinner (Water conservationist happier)
• Comfortable seating/standing for all on public transportation (Traveling public happier)
• Airlines can compress seating space (like they haven’t already) (Airline industry happier)
• Lower fuel costs due to lower transported weight (Shipping costs lower, car owners happier too)
• Fewer sheep have to be sheared for the garment industry (the sheep will be warmer)
• Most people will be able to fit in smart cars (Global warming alarmist happier)
• Fewer swayback horses (Animal rights advocates and PETA people happier)
• Fewer  back injuries (Everyone happier, pharmaceutical firms unhappy)
• More cops that can catch the criminals (Taxpayers happier)
• Fewer broken office chairs (Facility’s asset management happier)
• More food for the rest of us. (starving people fed)
• Etc.

The result is harmony in the World!

I am not second guessing or questioning a good thing, are you?

We the people of the United States do solemnly swear to defend and protect ourselves, neighbors, and the principles and values this nation was built upon at all times at home and abroad. Osama you attacked us, you threatened our safety, you caused 3000 lives to perish and have forever changed our lives and those of the world so that we have to take defensive measures everyday from others like you that you created.  You are gone and our Navy Seals said goodbye and Godspeed to your promised virgins in whatever heaven that will receive you.  I am not second guessing a good thing. Thank you President Obama for making what was surely one of your toughest decisions.   United Nations Chief of Human Rights you know where you can take your request for full disclosure.  Where has the voice of the U.N. been for the last ten years and where is your voice and action for all the innocent lives being snuffed out in Africa?  Aren’t you from South Africa Chief Navanethem (Navi) Pilla?   The United Nations needs to remember that the organization wouldn’t exist if not for the support of the United Stated and which by the way remains more neutral than other member in my opinion.  Keep your yes and ears on China  Ms. U.N. Chief of Human Rights.

Only One Word for Osama bin Laden's Death

|--- Yes! --- |

Come on Diane, you aren’t helping me.

 Why did the Senator feel it necessary last Sunday to preempt the President's announcement of Bin Laden's death?  Was this a Freudian slip showing that her real agenda, like many Republicans and a few Democrats is to subtly undermine the President?  Does Diane Feinstein secretly want-to-be Ms. President so she's stealing the President's thunder?  Senator, you were trusted with this information and for whatever reason you couldn't keep your end of the bargain.  Shame on you Senator!

 

 

 Cheers to your good health and wealth!

You're a time traveler from the future, right Mr. President?

What else could be the reason Mr. President  you didn't have a birth certificate?  I am glad that it is over….What a  waste of air time.  You can't compete against Donald Trump, he built a great company or was it companies? Everytime he says he built a great company, I am assuming it was the one after he went bankrupt. Did you pay off the creditors on that one Donnie?  I think Don has been memorizing too many lines from the Apprentice show. It's just a TV show dude. If you want to truly run for  government you need to do a real reality show.  Keep practicing your lines Donnie because you can't seem to get passed, "I built a great company and I am proud of myself"..…… Geez

3,500 Year old Ohlone Indian Settlement

Vallejo, California is looking to place public park bathrooms over the top of a scared Ohlone Indian burial site, why I don’t have a clue.  Who are the insensitive person(s) that are supporting this development effort.   Come on Vallejo haven’t we been crapped on enough through history.   I agree with the Major of Vallejo who is going to protest this insensitive progress into the future.  Oh, wait minute doesn’t the city parks maintenance and development commission manager work for the Major.  All you have to say Major Osby Davis, is no and I mean “no” really.

Increase in Debt Anyone?

 I have to say that politics never interested me that much before, however, since being semiretired I’ve paid more attention or it’s just in my face so much lately.  I guess I never knew what I was missing while working all day and everyday at the Just Over Broke (JOB).  I can’t believe how the Democrats, and the Republicans (Tea Party now I guess) have been running this country into the ground with debt with stupidity, arrogance and greed.  What a shameless joke being played on the world and not just the American people.  Don’t all get upset Democrats, you’re first mentioned because the alphabet has you first and Republican don’t get your panties in wad either.  I didn’t create the alphabet in the order it is I am sure that if it where part of the constitution both parties would amend it appropriately.  Anyway I like things sequential, neat and orderly. So keep your donkeys and elephants under leash, geez Louise.  Okay so the adults in Washington are not setting a good example about spending within their means.   I believe that they, the government, and including all the big businesses that pull the puppet strings of politicians have a plan to keep you and I and future generations in debt.  Did you know that 5% of the population control 95% of the money in the country?  It only makes sense that the 5% would want the 95% that don’t control the wealth in the country to be indebted to them so that they control the destiny and manufacture the dependency for the mass populous.   You think about that for a day or two why don’t you.
