BASEBALL AND FATHERHOOD

Colby Lewis is a pitcher for the Texas Rangers. His wife was having a baby. He wanted to be there like any normal father would. He took the time and went to be with his wife. In the process he missed his normal turn in the rotation. A reporter for the Dallas Observer took him to task; he couldn’t understand how a player would choose to be with his wife when she gave birth instead of pitching.

This is the mentality that seems to be taking hold in this country. In this case how dare he put himself ahead of my enjoyment?

JOHN KYL

Sen. John Kyl a Republican from Arizona stood in the well in the Senate of the United States and stated the 90% of Planned Parenthoods time and money was spent on abortions. The truth is it is 3%. When Sen. Kyl was confronted with the truth, his staff said the statement wasn't meant to be factual. I guess in his mind it is okay to stand up before your collegues and the country and lie just to make a political point.

The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who vote for him or his followers are apolgists for these kind of things. This country is not going to get anything done until these kind of people are tossed out on their ear, and we get people who put the country first.

THE CATHOLIC LEAGUE

Catholic League president Bill Donahue took out a full page ad in the New York Times. He tries to justify the way things are in regard to the abuse problems by Priests. He states that most of the incidents were homosexual. That means the church doesn’t really have a pedophile problem, and since most of those cases involved kids that were a little older there really isn’t a problem. What this fool doesn’t understand that abuse is abuse.

The Catholic Church could do without apologists like this.

THE FAMILY

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Ok) Pat Robertson and Glen Beck are defending the person who lost the Presidency in the Ivory Coast last year. This man refuses to leave. Sen. Inhofe claims the election was rigged. The defeated former President is hiding in a bunker at this time. He and his forces have been accused of war crimes. But so has the elected Presidents forces in this bloody conflict. Why is Sen. Inhofe defending this man who lost the election? I hate to say it but religion rears its ugly head again. The Fellowship, also called The Family is a Christian right wing organization that has ties with the loser of the election. This is the organization that Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC), Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) and Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) belong to. What do these guys have in common? They all were caught cheating on their wives recently. This organization also has ties to Uganda, and a bill there that would allow the government legally to kill homosexuals.

Why is it that when you belong to an organization like The Family it is okay to do anything you want and never suffer the consequences amongst your peers? Is it that the so called religious people can’t see their own flaws, but sure can tell you about yours?

SEAN DUFFY

Who is Sean Duffy you ask? He is the Republican Congressman from the 7th district in WI. The poor man is suffering. He is complaining about making a paltry $174,000 a year. For him to say something like that at a town hall meeting in one of the more depressed areas of WI. is idiotic. This guy is not in touch with the reality of his constituents.

Of course he has a couple of homes. I suppose if he is suffering he could sell one of them.

GENERAL ELECTRIC

Awhile back Jack Welch an icon of the business world, and former CEO of General Electric stated that when ever there was a problem at one of his plants between local management and labor; he inevitably found that the manager of the plant was an asshole. It seems now that the current management of General Electric are assholes.

General Electric made a profit of 14.2 billion dollars last year, and received a 3.2 billion dollar tax credit even though they didn't pay any corporate tax.

So, what would be the next logical step? I don't think it would be asking their union employees to make concessions. That is exactly what they want. Jack Welch had it right ASSHOLES!

FALSE FLAG OPERATION

What is a False Flag Operation? It's pretending to be with you, and then stabbing you in the back.

During the on-going dispute in Wisconsin with the Governor and the Public Unions, Governor Walker received many e-mails. One he received gave this suggestion. "If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you). you could discredit the unions".

As everyone knows there are many loony nuts in this world. The thing that makes this one stand out is the fact that it came from the deputy Johnson County Ind. Prosecutor. Carlos F. Lam. When confronted he originally denied it saying that was going to far. He has now admitted it, and resigned.

This is the second guy from Indiana who has suggested crazy things. Jeffrey Cox the Deputy Attorney General, who suggested the use of live ammunition against the protesters at the Capitol.

It begs the question. What is wrong with the elected officials in Indiana? Are they all completely nuts!
