Just Wondering

Just saw an ad on TV about a new TV show starting in September, hasn't been seen yet, but people "can't stop talking about it." How is that?

Talk Show Hosts

Just what is a Talk Show Host, and what does it take to become one, and how have they become so powerful?

First, they are entertainers. Second, they say what some people want to hear. They are all, "smooth" talkers. Just what does it take to become one. Well, really nothing. You get a job at a radio station, sweep and mop, get coffee and donuts, do odd jobs,  for a few years, then maybe do the weather for a while, cover a few events, then maybe do a little news, and then, someone at the station lets you give your opinion on something, and WOW, you are a talk show host.

But remember, FIRSTLY, you are nothing more than an ENTERTAINER with a following of people who think the same way you do, and you tell them what THEY want to hear, and all of a sudden, you hit the big-time.

Recently, you build up a BIG following, you get on FACEBOOK, have a million or so friends, write a book every week, suggest it is better to read YOUR book in one of your T-shirts, while drinking coffee out of one of your cups, wearing your hat. Now, you not only have MILLIONS of people listening to you, following you on FACEBOOK, but you are making millions of dollars. You are so popular now, do you want to run for office ................... NO ................... it would be a pay cut. Don't do as I do, just do as I say!

All because you started sweeping out a few rooms and being a "gofor" at a radio station. Are we a great country, or what?

I am appalled .....................................

I am appalled by Senator Alan Simpson's recent remarks regarding Social Security. Social Security is paid for by the contributions of tens of millions of hard working Americans, and does not contribute a cent to the federal deficit.


Senator Simpson's statements belittled Social Security and insulted millions of Americans. Comments like this are irresponsible and unacceptable.

How can any commission led by Sen. Simpson fairly consider changes to Social Security?

I've Wondered

Have you ever wondered if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?


Have you ever wondered if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

More,, sad, but true.

Tax his land,

Tax his bed,
Tax the table,
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid...

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me
To my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What  happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'

Remember that figure .............. 545

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them...

Jose and Carlos

Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills. He drives a new Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of cash to spend.

"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?"

Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"

Carlos' sign reads;

I have no work, a wife and Six kids to support.

"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him.

"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"

Carlos says, "All right, so what does your sign say?"

Jose's sign reads:

I only need ten dollars To get back to Mexico

I wonder????

I got to thinking, we lost so many men and women during WWII, they gave their lives for their country. I wonder how they would feel, if they came back today, and saw what was happening in this country. They gave their lives for this country, and now, they would not even recognize it.

When they died, the country was "together," everyone was working for the war effort, women were working, the men that were left, were working, buying war bonds, gas rationing, food stamps, for the "war effort."

Can you imagine telling some young Pfc. who was killed at Guadalcanal, about trillions in debt, about bailing out General Motors, how could you explain all that has happened in the last ten years.

That young Pfc. died for the freedoms that we are losing today.

Why did they die in Korea? In Viet Nam, Desert Storm. How many men and women have died, defending our country and the freedoms we have, and are slowly losing,  today. I would hate to think that all died in vain.

And, if you could talk with one of them, they would not be able to comprehend this country, and the shape it is in today. There is no way to explain, this country,  to anyone from the past. The difference is incomprehensible, and certainly unexplainable.

Jim Snedden

I did a BLOG on Jim Snedden, and have gotten quite a few inquiries.

Here is his website: http://www.jamessneddenjr.com/

He is running for Licking County Commissioner.

Interesting Press Release

I know Jim, thought this was interesting and very perceptive of him to notice a wrong that has been happening for many years. I think he is absolutely right.

JAMES SNEDDEN, JR.


Candidate for
Licking County Commissioner
Press Release

On 4 August, 2010, James Snedden, Jr., Libertarian Candidate for Licking County , Ohio , Commissioner, filed a formal complaint with the Licking County Board of Elections, regarding the displaying of symbols representing only two of the political parties that appear on the ballot. He further stated that the Board of Elections also is a public Polling Place, and it was his impression that as such, no party or candidate symbols should be on display and visible to the voter.

He stated, “As you enter their office, displayed there, in plain view to the voting public, are a mule and an elephant. There are no other symbols or icons of political parties on display. This would suggest to the voter that there are only two parties to vote for. This to me is unfair, and actually gives the two parties an unfair advantage. If it is necessary to display symbols, then any party on the ballot should be on public display. Does the Board of Elections only represent these two parties, I think not.”

He felt that in all fairness, all parties should be represented, or if the County objected to that, then none should be on display. He stated, “I don’t think they intentionally did this, but all of the members of the Board of Elections are either Republican or Democrat, and no one has brought this to their attention, I doubt that they considered all of the other parties insignificant.”

Snedden also indicated that since this is not only a problem at the county level he was going to file another complaint with the State of Ohio .

Who is Who????????????????/

WHY THE BIG CHANGE ................ ??????????????????????????

I am not one now, or never have been, one to use the N word. I have had good friends, Negros, or African American, or however you prefer to refer to them, I have always just thought of them as Americans and nothing more. I have even gotten to the point where I don't single them out. I try not to see their difference.

Remember too, I went to college in South Carolina in the 50's, got my first demerits for calling a black lady, "Mam." Worked in Reno during the 50's and early 60's when "blacks" were not allowed in the clubs. They had their own.

I had some Jewish friends who called certain Jewish people, "Kikes," not sure of the spelling, may be the first time I have ever used that term.

I guess we have White Trash, Honkies, Spics, Briarhoppers and some others. We have a concept of how some Jewish people act. When they act like how we perceived a "bad" one acts, they are Kikes. We call them that, Jewish people call them that. I remember years ago talking with some Jewish family friends, about some other Jewish people and they referred to them as Kikes. The first I had heard that term used, and it was used by a Jewish man.

I think the first time I heard the N word used, was by a black man, referring to another black man that he did not approve of how he acted, He was a N to him.

I think Michele Obama, her recent trip to Spain and the way she acted since being the first lady (No caps and no quotes) qualifies her as a N. I think her husband the president (No caps) has also on occasions acted like a N.

I have no problem with a black man, or a negro or an African American being President. I would prefer that he was at least a citizen of this country. I personally don't think that Obama is, further proof, our new Supreme Court Justice who will back him up, another travesty, just one of many.

Bottom line, the presidents wife is acting line a N. Sorry to use that word, but even sorrier that she is acting that way. I wonder what the world thinks of us.
