When did it become acceptable to be so crude?

by adriennerightnow at RightNow

This has been on my mind ever since the brouhaha over David Letterman’s crude joke about Sarah Palin’s daughter. It was just 50 years ago that you couldn’t show pregnant women on TV, Lucy and Dezi had to sleep in twin beds, and June Cleaver wore pearls while cooking dinner.

Nice women didn’t go into bars without a male escort, and showing too much cleavage was a no-no. Now we live in a society where crude, and what my Mom would call vulgar behavior, is not only common but considered the norm. read the rest at RightNow

Government Does Not Create Wealth

Surprised? Well, listen up. All the government can do is take away one person’s money and give it to someone else. The only other thing they can do is print more money.

Can you say “$40.00 for a loaf of bread”?

Obama’s latest spending spree to create or “save” 600 thousand jobs is nothing more than a shell game of “watch the pea.” You tell me how to quantify a job “saved”. You can’t because it is based on nothing but air. And the so-called jobs “created” are make-work temporary jobs.

Hand out federal money to hire more police for some community you’ve never heard of? I’ve witnessed that before. When the money runs out, the extra officers are laid off. Additional money is then needed to pay for their unemployment. It will be a real boon to our economy for our tax dollars to fund 125 thousand summer jobs for teenagers. /sarc

Of course, this is the big headline today. I’ve talked about distractions before and this smells like a distraction rotting in the compost pile. While the Kool Aid drinkers rejoice over all these magical jobs, our current president is hard at work on the biggest takeover of our freedoms – evah! Health care reform…

Keith Hennessey has a pretty good breakdown of the bill. Read it and weep for what may become of our once great nation.

Announcement

My friend Right Klik and I have launched a new blog called RightNow. To be fair, RightKlik, that clever man, has done the work and I think he has done a marvy job! All I have to do is show up and say something, which for an Italian is never a stretch.

About RightNow:

Advancing the conservative agenda, defending the principles enshrined in the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.

The Reason?

Glad you asked...

I was sitting around here the other day eating bonbons and buffing my nails and said to myself,

"Self, you don't have enough to do. Why don't you add another blog seeing as how you haven't managed to fix your present banner (which is driving at least three PhotoShop clever people crazy), clean up your link list, or post on your other new blog, Adrienne dePitera?"

"Oh yes, Self - how about the drapes that aren't finished, the shabby chic painting piling up, the bookwork not done? And heavens, don't forget the award from Archangel's Pulpit not posted yet, and the "thank you pictures" of the glorious cards received from Deb over at Ukok's Place."

"Yes, Self - the perfect solution to this problem is another blog. Yes, yes, yes! I'll do it!"

Visit RightKlik and yours truely at RightNow and leave a comment so our self-esteem won't be shattered.... Please?
