Have you noticed that most of the good Christmas songs are from celebrities of 20 - 30 years ago? If you want mood for Christmas you tune in to songs-of-the-season, usually from a long time ago. It's really sad that no celebrities sing about Christmas these days. You can say what you want about the religious aspect of Christmas, but there is also the tradition of Christmas in this country that is quickly disappearing. Doesn't anyone with the good fortune of celebrity prosperity have the "guts" to keep the tradition going?

I have a challenge for all of Al Gore's global warming computer modeling geeks...  "Big Environment". There are so many variables in the climate and for that matter anything that happens in nature, that I believe that it's impossible for a computer to predict an outcome that is even close to reality. Here's my challenge - Pick a point in any city, in any state, at a specified day, time-of-day, month, and year. Have the computer predict where a feather would land if it were dropped from an elevation of only 10 feet. If one of Al Gore's global warming computers gets even within 2 feet of where the feather actually lands, I might start to pay attention (I still think he looks like one of the evil villains in a James Bond movie!).

The unwinding of our national security under President Obama reminds me of a movie I watched about a gunslinger in the old west that was recruited by a town to get rid of the bad guys. The gunslinger was a hero... until all of the bad guys were gone. I'm pretty sure it was a Clint Eastwood movie !!!

George Bush, with all of his faults, is the real movie hero that chased all the bad guys out of town and I'm SICK about the treatment he gets from the major media and this new administration!!

Now we're so afraid to act in the same way as the hero, that we go out of our way to cozy up to the villains. Well... just like in that movie, as soon as the bad guys realize that the hero is gone, they will be back with a vengeance !

Get ready kids. We are about to have a real sugar rush with Obama's rescue plan (His "plans" usually take about 2 seconds to develop). If you're a serious stock investor, you will capitalize on the upside, but realize that it will be a short term fix and sell before it's too late! The only problem with getting out in time, with actual profits, is that the Obama administration may deem your profits to be too high, then confiscate them before the next stock market crash that is sure to follow... just like the crash that follows all sugar rushes !! Are you listening Mr. Buffett? Your investing strategy depends on reliable free enterprise. The Obama strategy is all new to this country. "Change" means no more U.S.A.... no more free enterprise! Mr. Buffett...  I hope you're happy with the President (that you helped to put in office) when it's all over!! Some of us that admired you, and wanted to follow in your footsteps, will never have the same opportunity as you.  Thanks buddy!!!

I'm waking up to the radio earlier this week and there is a 6th grader talking about going to the Obama Presidential inauguration. The radio host asks the 6th grader what advice he would give to Obama. The 6th grader says he would just wish Obama good luck fixing the bad economy and getting us out of Iraq. The radio host then asks how this young person became aware and interested in these things. The 6th grader said that he had been hearing all of these words on the radio and television and wanted to know more. His research consisted mostly of talking to his dad and listening to radio (his uncle works for the radio station that is interviewing him). He had come to the conclusion that the economy was bad and we had to get out of Iraq...........Here's the part that gets me..........Why do you need a radio show to tell you that the economy is bad and we need to get out of Iraq? This 6th grader apparently doesn't know anyone that has been to Iraq, much less that has been directly affected by anything in Iraq. He also must not be feeling any effects from the so-called bad economy, because he didn't know about it until he was told about it. Unfortunately, many adults make up their minds about what they perceive as important in the same way as this 6th grader. The media specializes in shaping our opinions and creating "important issues of the day". The weakest of us are the most susceptible to this media propaganda, and I'm sorry to say, that just happens to be most democrats.

Why do the democrats talk about electric cars as if they use no fuel and have no impact on the environment? The electricity for these cars must be generated somewhere. It is usually generated in someone else's "backyard" so the pollution from the power plant isn't noticed by most of us.......only the poor suckers that live where the power plant is located. Since the democrats are against nuclear power, most of this power is generated the old fashioned way (engine-generators or turbines that are powered by conventional fuels). This is a very inefficient way to power a car, as only about 90% of the power consumed by the generator is available for use as electricity.....Physics 101. As if that isn't bad enough, disposal of old batteries is a huge problem (by the way, this is more of a problem because of democrat environmentalists), and safety is also a huge problem......large capacity batteries consist of toxic or harmful chemicals that can do a lot of damage in an accident. As usual, democrats and the media go forward with emotion and good intentions, without thinking it all out!
