Ok, so here's what we've got for the Grand Ole Party: two guys of color! Gotta love it. The Republican party, of which I have been a member for ALL of my adult life, now has as it's face these two back benchers! Bobby Jindal, wait til Richard Shelby checks his birth certificate and starts making jokes about getting Slurpees in the Governor's Mansion and Michael Steele, former Lt. Gov of Maryland.
In a party that boasts many big name members of all races, stripes and colors we get this after old man McCain and that PYT from Alaska. No wonder their uttering "Oh God?"

Don't be Like Thomas, the Disciple
I don't believe men evolved from Monkeys (particularly not the murderous rampaging CT kind who live with single white women - is this a monkey living with a "cougar?") and for all those who do, I like to ask them to explain how the human heart comes to beat and how evolved man can't seem to re-create one. So, I'm a person of faith. Faith works in my life and I see Providence all around. I'm not talking organized Religion here but Faith.
Anyway, these first 30 days of the Obama-thon have reminded me of the disciple Thomas (from whom springs the name Doubting Thomas), who when the risen Lord appeared to him and his mates didn't believe it was the Lord until he was told to go ahead and see for himself..after inserting his hands into the wound he was forgiven for his doubts.
...Today we have an foreclosure abatement program and I've heard Ben Stein say the cost will be too high! He's right but only if you ignore the societal costs of all those men, women and school age children living in shelters, using emergency rooms for primary medical care and stealing to feed themselves - cause guess what? Single people with two incomes aren't in this mess. Guys who are working their first job and saving for a new BMW aren't in this mess- families are in this mess. Mr. Stein, he of many words, opined that if we keep up at this rate one day "Standard and Poors" will look at the US govt debt and downgrade us to the levels of Germany! How ridiculous. The same Standard and Poors who rated CDOs and ABS pools as AAA because they were issued by Lehman Brothers and Citigroup through off balance sheet SIVs. I care less what S&P thinks of American Debt. Perhaps the next generation will have a Doubting Ben. You can't argue for a meritocracy some times - it's all or nothing Ben. Didn't hear any of these voices in November when 3 of the large money center banks were within days of collapse because their capital ratios were too low.
I suppose all those anti-Obamers who've already worked themselves up into a lather 30 days after the guy got started want a do over. (These are the same eggheads who take a mulligan on each side and don't believe they're cheating at golf by the way) They want to demand tax cuts that the American People decided didn't work after all (RIP the Gipper and "trickle down"). Can't have trickle down economy if there's no liquidity at the top and by the way you're deporting all the workers at the bottom but that's for another day - if you want a real meritocracy let everyone in and keep the best!
They failed to consider that, like it or not, our GOP got it's clock cleaned because it was too far in bed with them in the first place. We gave the country Norm Coleman for goodness sakes - how can anyone take this seriously. Where were these boneheads when we were racking up generations of debt nation building in Iraq. Didn't anyone else read the Federalist papers - Rush Limbaugh certainly didn't it! Laura Ingraham - come on, that's not discourse - it's low minded personal attack politics that's easily disguised by humor, Lenny Bruce got arrested for it (no wonder Laura couldn't find a sperm donor the old fashioned way).We already debated that issue and came down clearly on the side of staying out of it (over there, over there.....). So while I'm paying $4 bucks a gallon to drive my Made in America SUV no one shouts that the Republican government was ginnng up debt like it didnt' matter - now it matters. ? Give me a break. More tomorrow....
