Baby Gordito

In an attempt not to have a bleak and dismal blog, I submit to you my joy. This is Sammy D (aka- Dito Dito Baby Gordito). He is the pinnacle of life. This is a pic of him on his first Halloween. Sammy's interests include but are not limited to: dancing, being naked, sleeping, swimming, talking, cheering on the G-men, and of course managing to find every single breakable item in my house.

FIRE!

Occasionally I will rant on things apolitical. Today's subject is the ridiculous news media (which is of course, not entirely apolitical). The exploiters of human suffering continue to amuse me. Apparently the news worthy story of the day is wildfires in California. WHO CARES! Really? Fire? Is that breaking news? Only if it's my house on fire would it be news. I hate to break it to them but fire is really not news, definitely not breaking news. Fire has been around since man first inhabited the earth. Many people own FIREplaces, candles, and lighters. Its not like we have not seen fire before. Yes it creates damage, but it's nothing new. The 24 hour news, youtube generation is desensitized anyways and doesn't care about a stupid fire. I can only laugh when fires necessitate hours of news coverage.

government bailouts

All of this government intervention in the economy is stimulating my libertarian reflex. I unenthusiastically supported the large bailout package after hearing the president's comments on the issue. I certainly do not have any extensive knowledge in this area and simply trusted the judgement of our president. Now I hear the call for more bailouts. NO! Government intervention is not efficient or effective for the most part. Additionally, there is no incentive to manage a responsible business if government bailouts are available when you screw up. It is time to let the free market correct itself. NO MORE

Post Election

I agree with about 5% of Obama's policies BUT I will not be like the left. I will not hate the president of the United States for 4 or maybe 8 years because of pure spite. I love my country and I respect the office of the president. Obama is an inexpiriencd political ameture who simply got millions of uninformed americans to drink his super sugary Kool-aid because he can be articulate when he is staring at a teleprompter. BUT he has been elected and I want this country to continue to be the greatest country in the world. I will support the president and will not tear him down at every chance like those who tried to deamonize president Bush. When Obama works toward advancing my political values I will support him, eventhough I rarely expect this to happen. When Obama works toward advancing destructive or ignorant policies for this counrty, I will be the voice of repectful opposition.

Enjoy my hubris
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
