Same Ole, Same Ole

With the blip/diversion of the Olympic bid, the status quo seems to have taken hold. Prez O is still so ineffective in what ever he attempts to tackle.

• The Economy - It's still stinkin'
• Job Creation - Where are the jobs?
• Health Care - Who knows what draft will get rammed though
• Support in Afghanistan - be in it to win it, or get our troops out
• ACORN - over 3 million embezzled by brother of the founder
• Czars - new controversy over "Safe Schools" Czar.

Being so cynical is frustrating. I want to have something positive to write about. But it seems we are in a continuous vicious circle over the same old stuff. The economy recovery depends on job creation and vice verse. Health Care is just out there... bantered about like a volley ball in the hands of a bunch of Keystone Cops. I am completely astounded by the lackadaisical appearance of doing nothing.

Word of the day: think

As far as the national news, I think I've lost my momentum... Maybe I'm complaining about the wrong stuff and should look a little closer to home...

• Texting while driving
• Cell Phones while driving
• Eating while driving
• Grooming while driving

What happened to the days when there we took care of our business before we got in the car? Yesterday I was nearly broadsided by a driver who clearly was looking in another direction from her red light. There were two girls in the mini van as they whizzed by me, swerving... I am the driver of a Smart Car, I was so relieved that I saw her coming and was able to just stop for them to maneuver me out of their way. The outcome could have been a real bummer to an otherwise decent day.
