It's Friday...

2009-03-20T06:20:00.000-07:00

Usually Fridays are not a big deal for me because I work, however, since I made myself one of the unemployed last week, I actually have a unlimited weekend to look forward to. No mad dash to work today. I know, it's irresponsible to give up a job in an economy where people are losing their jobs through no fault of their own. Me, I'm just to old for the b.s. Being 50, half my life is already spent (if I can make 100), I am certain that there are different ways to make $$. Have a job and have some fun.
Nursing is a thankless job. You hear people say "you guys are like angels", in the next breath, screaming at you because they can't find daddy's socks. Socks, really!?! They're a dollar at the dollar store, buy another pair.
Nursing is the only job that you can be literally shit on, pissed on, spat at and screamed at and your reply is always "Okay, thanks have a good day!"
So I'm relishing this little break even if its only temporary. Must look for job next week...
Health Insurance and all.
I wish you guys out there could see the waste of resources that occur in nursing homes.
The food that we throw away at the end of they day says it all. Never mind the amout of medicines that get dumped monthly. Never mind that your are treating 99 year patients with multiple morbities, who are full codes, who have 37 meds, and who sleep all day.
Just think how this money could be better spent in neo-natal units at the start of life, and in transplant units where young people fight for their life...
Just a thought...

Obama at a town meeting...

2009-03-19T07:37:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, President Obama went to California for a "town meeting". Funny, on the campaign trail, he had no interest in a town meeting.. Now that he has the job he's flying cross country for one. Does this guy love to hear himself speak or what?!?!?!
Borack, you already have the job!!!!. I had a lot of hope for him after his inauguration speech,
"even if you didn't vote for me, I am your president to.." Really, what have you done for me lately.
I believe he was not loved enough as a child and has an insatiable need for love and adoration. He's one of these people who pretend their way through life. "Let me hold a town meeting and pretend I'm president." Again, stay at home, and do your job!!! Oh, that's right, I think your just pretending to be president while your hacks do all the work.

You're not a rock star.. you're the President of the United States. You reside in the WHITE HOUSE. Your job is to RUN the Country. Stop Talking already....

The bonuses are coming, the bonuses are coming, the bonuses are coming!

2009-03-19T07:29:00.000-07:00

For the last 3 days on every news channel all we hear about are the AIG bonuses. Greta, Glen, Rush, Stewart, etc.. etc.. etc.. can anyone out there come up with different material. Because of 24 hrs news, the airways are filled with repetition. ( I recall CNN covering the Lacy Peterson stories for weeks. ) Really, its filling space and not news.
Yeah its despicable these execs took bonuses in a failing company. Should be, the company doesn't make $$ neither do you. Then again...
Teachers continue to have jobs when kids can't read or write...
Coaches continue to have jobs with losing teams.. (don't even start me with what they get paid)
Senators continue to have jobs, even though their heads are up their asses
Congressman continue to have jobs, even though their pockets are filled with corrupt money.

All of the above are supposedly the "Best and the Brightest " for their positions..

Thanks for the dumbing down of America, people

Happy St. Pattys Day!!

2009-03-17T20:41:00.000-07:00

Today, I heard Borack Obama say that his great - great - great grandfather was Irish! lol HaHa.. Now i know where the name Borack O'Bama comes first... I am really laughing my ass off. Is there anything this man won't say.. yes, it does sound believable , but really... how gullible are we?

I think he should be told, he's won the presidency.. now it's time to stop making speeches, stop making guest appearances... stop being in front of the cameras..

Sit awhile in the Oval office and hey, do your job. Let the chair get warm. Think a moment before your speak.. And i don't want to hear anymore thats "It's enery, It's education, It's healthcare.. It's infrastructure.."

Hey, "It's the economy stupid!"

having blogged in a while

2009-03-17T20:36:00.000-07:00

I stopped blogging. Felt it was futile. Felt I had so much to say, without anyone to listen.
With the myriad of blogs out there, who cares about mine.. So instead i became a pariah at work. Constantly voicing my political opinions. Keep in mind, I'm trying to speak to people who don't even watch the news!.. I was perceived as the "crazy person who should turn off their radio." Well, I feel that I need to go back to blogging.. So even if I'm talking to myself, at last the ideas are out of my head.

today, i joined Greta's blog. I'm always right on topic. Wrote about how much money was given to politicians from companies like AIG and there should be a demand made that these monies be paid back. Hey, afterall these companies are broke and could use the help.

Hey Chris Dodd, you got over $100,000... give the money back they need it.

An Interview with Barbara Bush

2008-10-03T06:11:00.000-07:00

After following the political campaign and the last 2 debates the mantra that keeps playing over in my head is "8 years of the failed policies of George Bush.. 8 years failed policies of George Bush... 8 years failed policies of George... ee ii eee iii ooo.......

With this droning on in my head I thought of Barbara Bush. An image came to mind of an tortoise, hard shelled and sad eyes. Barbara must be a remarably strong women. Having had spent her entire life in politics I'm sure she heard it all. Yet, I can't help but wonder, how she feels about people talking about her son like this. I can imagine Barbara, after George 1 rushed out of the bedroom, leaving his underwear on the floor, attending a ladies auxillary meeting and someone shouting out "you're husbands an asshole", she smiling to herself and saying "yeah he is I had to pick up his underwear again.. bastard."

Yet we moms when we walk into our kids room and see underwear and laundry strewn about we think "dam, can't these kids pick up after themselves." Still, we bend over and lovingly fold the laundry, sometimes holding it close to us, patting the top of the pile, feeling an inexplicable bond that connects us to another person that words cannot describe.

So what would Barbara Bush say when asked how she felt about people talking about her son like this. Knowing her character, the generation she was raised in, her understanding of politics I'm sure she would say.. "It hurts us... George is doing the best he can... He has tried to make his mark... We're proud of him... " I'm sure she would not go the way of todays moms:
"Your kid broke my window,.... your window should not have been there"
"Your kid stole my money.... your money should have been put away."
"Your kid has to sit the bench.... why, he's the best on the team"

Can you imagine the interview:
Barbara you son bombed Irag... "Yeah, well they called him names first. nana nana nana"

Short of my kids becoming the next Jeffrey Dahmer, I cannot think of a reason, or anything that they can do that would make me love them any less. I'm positive Barbara feels the say way.
Hey, despite his inability to articulate well, George Bush is not Jeffrey Dahmer. George Bush right now is consider by some the worse president ever, however, if any of us where history scholars (I'm not), I'm sure we would find he is on par with every other president.

This brings me to the new movie coming out, W. I saw the trailer for this yesterday. I want to tell the writers, producers, editors of this film how lucky they are to live in a country that protects freedom of speech and the right of freedom of expression. How lucky they are that they live in a country where they wouldn't be exciled, wouldn't be hung, wouldn't be shot in the head in the middle of a soccer field. I will not be seeing this movie. I hope most Americans won't see this movie. It lessons the dignity of the highest office of the land, that of President of the United States. Movies such as these tell the world that our leader is a buffoon, thus so are we because we voted for him. It demeans President Bush . Despite what his critics think , President Bush is all but only human. Having him as food for satire lowers us to the depths of Jerry Springer and Maury Povich.

Barbara, this is a thought for you.. If this were my child being ridiculed I do every talk show touting whatever George did that was good. I would let Americans know that it takes someone special to have have the guts, fortitude, and strength to have convictions and to stand by them.
I would tell Americans... leave my kid alone.

TRUTH SQUADS!!!

2008-09-29T08:54:00.000-07:00

Borack Obama's presidential campaign has engaged prosecutors and sheriffs in Missouri to monitor ads looking for falsehoods and lack of truths. They state that they will use the law to prosecute anyone who puts out youtubes and political ads that mock or falsely accuse Obama.

Really?? truth in politics... should the two words be in the same sentence.

I somewhat agree that negative campaigning is ineffective. As mentioned in a previous blog, I want candidates to tell me what they are going to do, not what their opponent won't do.

I think we should take these truth squads a step further. When Borack Obama or his camp state things that are "good" that he has done, let's make sure the truth squads can verify this.
Like when he says, "I told Congress about Fannie Mae 2 years ago" Beep ... lie.

I say at the next debate lets hook up both candidates to a lie detector. When they answer a question the commentator can reply "Uh, Senator, thats a lie.."

Just like the reality Show, (whatever it's name is ) I think that would make for great TV.

How about you?

Democracy at its finest!

2008-09-27T11:23:00.000-07:00

I find it amazing that American Soldiers go to war in other countries promoting Democracy.

Yes a democratic government is the best type to have. Margaret Thatcher once said, "freedom is divinely inspired." All of humanity want to feel like they matter and their lives have value and reason.

How interesting today that 99% of American Voters, remember, voters, voters that make this state a democracy have clearly, loudly, strongly told their representatives in the house and Congress that they do not want this bail out. E-mails, letters, phone calls, have been inudating their offices. The same people who they are supposed to represent are talking to them, they're not listening.

Harry Reed, comes before the news cameras this week..
Monday, this is George Bush fault his failed policies of the last 8 years;.
Friday.. this is John McCanns fault he should not have come here...
Harry, do you know any other tune?

Harry Reed looked scared to death. He says to the news media, his buddies, hey afterall
we have our constituents to look after. Who are your constituents??? Do you not hear the people talking to you !!!! Maybe he means the constituents who've line his pockets and his peers pockets.

Again, people who vote keep these deaf people in mind when it comes time for them to receive your vote again..

Throw them out.. Don't let them do this to us again....

Borack Obama = empty suited copy cat

2008-09-25T07:32:00.000-07:00

As most people around me know, I am not a democrat. I do not support democratic ideology.
Nor am I a right winger. I do believe in our entitlement programs just want them better,
do believe in helping others when they need help, hence my occupation.

Because I am a minority in my political stance here in Ct., I began to think maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe there is something to these dems. So really I began to look at Borack Obama. I watched his speech at the convention... thought it to be great...

Watched the primaries with Hillary. Laughed at Hill when she complained that Borack always got to be the 2nd person to answer. Hillary complaint that in answering 2nd he always used her answer. Thought Hill was a whiny, cry baby loser.

Now in watching the news intensely for the last couple of days I see what Hill was talking about.
Borack Obama doesn't have his own answers. He waits thens says what McCann said.

For instance, yesterday when Obama called McCann to ask him to make a joint statment,
I believe now it was because Obama has no idea what to say.. It was really laughable when he decided not to go to Washington to help with the bail out.. rather.. Hey, they can call me if they need me.

Its even more laughable when he gives a news conference stating "Well I see they're implementing my ideas.. They're going to do away with the golden umbrella, help taxpayers.. yada.. yada .. yada..

You're ideas...!!! You weren't there to state your ideas... oh right, forgot you were on the phone several times a day with Hank Paulson. I guess when you go to Washington today, because you have no other choice too.. summon there and all by George Bush you can sit quietly listening to other peoples solutions to this problem... Vote Present....

Then take credit for fixing the problem.

Obama = = =PATHETIC

Why Friday

2008-09-25T05:28:00.001-07:00

I've been up all night for 2 nights trying to follow the news of the Wall Street Bail out.

My Question: Why Friday?

Apparently, according to the news source, a bailout agreement has to be reached by the opening of the Asian market on Monday. Why? What is happpening. What do they know that we don't.

What I have learned from late night news is this:

This is a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Failure. Apparently, these quasi-government loan houses
amassed a trillion dollars worth of bad mortgages. Sold these bad mortgages to banking houses under pressure from Fannie/Fred the banks bought theses mortgages. The banks under the misconception that Fannie/Freddie were quaranteed by the government.

What you won't see in main stream media news is that in 2004 the Wall Street Journal published an article saying that Fannie/Freddie had to be reigned in.

In 2005, the then Republican Head of Banking in Congress, Richard (somebody) I'm tired can't recall his name, asked Congress for reform and control of Fannie/Freddie. The republicans in the house voted to regulate. The Dems led by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd voted against regulation for Fannie/Freddie.

In 2005, Alan Greenspan went before Congress cited that if Fannie/Freddie was not reigned in there were be calamatous outcomes. Hence, here we are now.

There is no guarantee that the bail out will help or work. Thousands of e-mails are arriving in all representatives offices citing that Americans do not support this bailout.

How can they spend our money without our approval.

Why Friday... indeed

Wall Street Bailout

2008-09-24T08:37:00.000-07:00

As per ususal the do nothing congress is again doing nothing but huffing and puffing about what they want done regarding the 700 billion dollar bailout. As usual, its politics as usual, the dems telling the reps that you can't have it unless its done our way. Really??? Really??

How about the fact the you Dems got us in this mess to begin with.. Why aren't you out there with your media buddies saying, "yeah we fucked up. Greenspan told us 4 years ago this would happen.. We didn't listen."

The hold up.. "We don't want any golden umbrellas for CEO's" Really?? Really??

The Drudge recently published a list of millionaires in the congress and senate.. Its okay for you guys to be millionaires, but no one else Really??

A news article that was recently published, listed members of congress and the senate who received campaigned funds from AIG. For instance, Senator Dodd, Ct. received 9 million dollars. Hey Chris, give them back their money they need it. As a matter of fact, this is what should be demanded by the American people. Any legislators who received funds from these struggling companies should pay them back.

Borack Obama received 100 thousand from Fannie Mae. Hey, PAY THEM BACK..

Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry are the biggest stock holders in AIG.. Why don't you lend them your money not ours. REALLY!!!

Hillary's a coward

2008-09-24T08:22:00.000-07:00

Years ago the presumptive presidential candidate was unknown till the close of the convention.
One woman told me how exciting it was to stay up all night and wait till the candidate was finally picked. She said how silly it was now having a convention when the candidate was already chosen. I began to ponder that.

You know, Hillary so desperately wanted to become the presidential nominee. She could taste it.
She had worked her whole life for this moment. She went through the primaries smug and assured that
the shoe was in the bag. Much to her surprise, Obama came out ahead.

However, how much more interesting the campaign would be if Hillary had the gumption, the
balls, if you will, to stand up at the Democratic Convention and say hey.. this is important to me, this is what I've worked for, this is what I stuck around with Bill for, this is my time.

Why didn't she go the way of Lieberman and say ooh I don't want to lose this gig and declare her candidacy as an independant. She could have been the Ross Perot of 08 lol. Instead, she sold her soul and her dreams for a 100 million dollar bail out from the dems.

Now along comes Sara Pailin.. Whether you like her politics or not (I do), you can't deny that she has created a fire storm of interest. She's pretty, intelligent, has a hot faithful husband.
Now Hillarys dream of being the first woman president are totally out. If McCann wins and
kicks the bucket Sara will be the first woman president. Poor Hillary...

Yet again, the ugly smart girl is not invited to the prom. The ugly smart girl has to take the back seat to the pretty maybe not so smart girl... Really Hillary what you should have learned from your friends like Gloria Steinhem, It's okay to put on your best Tuxedo pant suit and go to the dance by yourself..

news flash for obama/mccain campaigns

2008-09-22T09:17:00.000-07:00

If you 2 guys want me to vote for either one of you, you better come up with how you're going to do the things you say.

stop campaigning on what you're opponent won't do

start campaigning on what and how you're going to do it.

i am sick of your silliness and your whining on how "the other person is saying bad things against me" grow up

obama had 29 points to say at his convention the missing ingredient is how he's going to do them other than raising taxes on people making over 250,000. hey buddy, you made 4million dollars last year... why don't you give up 50% of that....

so Mccain has 13 cars, 7 houses.., you media people are soooooo stupid.... americans don't care about that.. we care about how candidates are going to fix the current problems we are having..

Oprah has more than that... Brad Pitt has more than that.. you people are such hypocrites

2008-09-22T07:58:00.000-07:00

Today I am outraged my the governments bailout of wall street. Even though I understand the reasons behind it. Domino effect and all. However, I strongly feel that the people who made millions of dollars in bonuses for companies that didn't make profits should pay the money back.
Also, finding out that 37 congress members have stock in AIG and are really bailing out themselves.

You want the government to fix Wall Street?

Wheres the 911 money

Wheres the Katrina money

Wheres the Social Security Money

These greedy, self serving bastards have to go starting with Nancy Pelosi.

I SAY KICK THEM ALL OUT.... TERM LIMITS... HOW TO YOU GET A JOB THAT PAYS
100,000 A YEAR BUT YET YOU'RE A MULTI MILLIONAIRE... KICK EM OUT KICK EM OUT KICK EM JOIN ME IN A QUEST TO THROW THEM ALL OUT OF CONGRESS AND THE SENATE.

OBAMA RUNNING A CAMPAIGN OF CHANGE HOW CAN YOU CHANGE ANYTHING WITH SENATORS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 40 YEARS... THROW THEM OUT NOW.

LETS START A CAMPAIGN FOR TERM LIMITS NOW
