THE INSANE RIGHT

How much longer are the people going to take the idiocy coming from people like; Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of the loony tune patrol. These people are instant experts in their mind about everything. I personally don't think any of them can find their way around the block without a map and a guide.

Today a friend said to me Ted Kennedy was such a scum bag. I asked him why he thought that. Well, he said I got all kinds of emails stating all kinds of things he did. This shows two things. The loons have no respect for anyone or anything that they don't agree with, and the right wing will believe anything. They never check facts, or even listen to differing view points. Beck etc. are constantly proven wrong. Oh well, the sheep say, and just go on their way to the next goofy thing.

KENNEDY

REST IN PEACE TED KENNEDY!

STEEL WORKERS

I am going to Milwaukee tomorrow to a meeting about bankruptcy. The company I work for is in it. We are worried that the company will now try to cut wages, and renege on pensions. Hopefully this won't happen. The plant I work in is doing well, and always has. A lot of the company's problems were brought on my mergers and poor management. I know people will say that the employees should shoulder some of the responsibility. True, and all those plants that under performed have been closed in the last 3 years.

HANNITY

Is Sean Hannity a bald face liar or just a moron? A couple of days ago he told his audience that Max Baucus the Democrat said social security could default within 2 years. The actual person who said this was Spencer Bachus a Republican. He even later amended that statement. Our hero Hannity still went on the air again and said Max Baucus said this. My personal feeling is that Hannity is so invested in the down fall of the Democrats he will say anything or do anything to see that happen.

The other major problem with this story, is that the people he talks to actually believe this garbage. I would like to blame this all on Hannity, but his disciples just go merrily along with him. Scary!

UNEXPECTED PLEASURE

While on vacation I didn't have much time to watch or even listen to TV. No one making up lies or ranting or raving. I didn't miss it a bit. The only down side is that when I came back the same liars and charlatans were still spewing their venom. To tell you the truth, I like to keep up on the news, but I sure wish we could get more straight news, instead of all the spin. I know there is always two sides to every discussion, but just be fair about it.

VACATION

I plan to take next week off, this will be my first extended time off this year. The sad thing is that I have so many projects to complete. It is a vacation in name only. This is the only way I can get anything done. For anyone who doesn't know I work out of town all week, and only go home on the weekends. The up side is that I do get to spend quality time with my family. It is my oldest daughters birthday too. A side bar to this is that for anyone who hasn't been doing any driving, there are so many road projects going on. It is hard to drive very far without a detour or at least a slowdown. I guess it's good that the roads and bridges are being repaired.

STOLEN CAR

Last week my brother called me and said his car was stolen. He is 78 yrs old, and that car is his life-line. He called the police, but they didn't offer any hope in finding it. 3 days went by and he just happened to hear someone in the management team of his apartment building talking about having cars towed about 3 days previous. Guess what? They had his car towed along with several others. He had the required parking sticker, besides the fact he has lived in his building for 10 yrs or more, and everyone knows him. He went to the place where they tow the vehicles, and yes, it was there. After paying $169.00 he got his car back. He went to the management and they reimbursed him, but they blew it off, no apologize for the inconvenience. They sort of thought it was no problem. I guess treating people with respect, and doing the right thing are passe.
