The country will look like Michigan before this is over...

It used to be said that California was the trend setter for the country.  Last I checked, Callie was dead flat broke.  Florida is in pretty poor shape, and The Blog Prof, expert on all things Michigan,  gives us the facts on what's going there (it isn't pretty) Granholm's $billion 21st Century Jobs Fund declared a total bust by the liberal Detroit Free Press.

While chatting with my doctor's wife a few days ago she said, "It's time to think outside the box."  No, actually it's time to get rid of your box all together.   

I'm heading out to vote in our primary.  Elections have consequences and primaries are important.  But I fear it may be too late.  When you have more than half the people in a country reliant on the government (that would be you and me), for their sustenance, it is highly likely the downward trend can be reversed.  


I'm not being pessimistic, just realistic.  The good news is, the cream of the populace will rise to the top eventually.  The people who don't rely on Starbucks or granite counter tops for their happiness, will suffer the least.  Which will you be?

An E-Mail from Ireland

An email from Ireland to all of their brethren in the States...a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:

'We, in Ireland , can't figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States .

On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can't seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run !

Now...On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship !!

What in God's name are ya lads thinkin over in the colonies !
