ASSASSINATION POLL

What in the hell is wrong with people? Someone puts up a poll on Facebook asking if President Obama should be assassinated. The loonies who think President Obama is not a citizen or he's the anti-Christ. or what ever goofy ideas they all have are responsible. If something happens to President Obama they would all disavow any responsibility. The Republicans have a difference of opinion about the way the country should be run, but they play into the fringe by going along with some of the far-out ideas. Limbaugh is just an opportunist, Beck I think is flat out nuts. To me the worst of the group though is the religious zealots. They will try and quote scripture trying to prove they are right. If you point out where they are wrong, and use the facts, they totally ignore them, and go on with their fantasies.

Politics

I have had several different discussions with people about politics ranging from the health care debate to the Iraq war and everything in between. I do not have all the answers, and never claim to. My question for these people is when you have facts and the proof of those facts why do they still ignore them and cling to their wrong ideas? One of the answers I get from them is that the main stream media is biased. Then they put their faith in cable talking heads. I mean for God sakes how does people like Limbaugh, or Hannity, or Mathews become experts on anything and everything. I think they take their talking points from what ever side they are supporting and go from there. How many times have they been wrong? I would say mostly. There are sources that check facts. They are not biased in my opinion. Now if you find a site that always agrees with you, I would say you should question those results. Hopefully this folly will stop, and we as a country move forward making all of our lives better.

GREEN BAY PACKER FOOTBALL

I have been a Packer fan for more years than I care to count. This year Brett Favre will be playing against the Packers. I had no problem with him playing for the Jets last year. This year is different. Of all teams to play for, the Vikings! I always considered the Packer season a success as long as they beat the Vikings. I don't want to see Favre hurt, but I really have to pull for his humiliation against the Packers.

Maria Bartiromo

I have to apologize to some of the right-wing loonies. I didn't think I would find anyone as uninformed as they are. To my surprise her she is, (Maria Bartiromo). She is an anchor on cnbc the financial network. She was questioning a Congressman who is 44 yrs. old. She was outraged that this man was so proud of Medicare, and he wasn't on it. He mentioned that you have to be 65 to enroll. She went oh yeah. and rolled her eyes in disgust. This women had no idea that you had to be 65 to be on Medicare. Why would anyone take her advice or even listen to anything she had to say from now on?
