Thanksgiving......the coolest!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My favorite of all the holidays. A 4 day weekend with very little preparation. You eat, drink, nap, and then repeat. This thanksgiving we should spend some extra time thanking God for our blessings. It's been a tough year for many. The past 6 months economically have hit millions of people, in the next 6 months it will hit more. The war continues, although it "effects" a minority of US citizens, these are the families that protect our country. The crazy culture revolution continues to break down our American values....generations will be effected without even knowing it.

With all of these things happening, we should still take a close look and give thanks for our blessings. Everyone has them. It could be your health, it could be family, your job, the way you live...the country you live in...They may be small in some homes or it may be abundant.

At a retreat last year I gave a witness to Christian awareness. The main theme was on how our "luck" in life was really our blessings.


Our family has been blessed. We can only pray that our blessings continue.

Happy Thanksgiving....enjoy the nap!

God Bless

Totally embarrassed....not cool

I took this survey this morning

Sad to admit I only got 12 out of 20.....

It tells you how much you would need to read to keep up with the amount of information that comes out each day!

Interesting Video clip....cool

I had this sent to me earleir today. I think it's worth the view. I would say a few rthings however....thius clip is all about media bias and not taking shots at President Elect Obama. The video is right on......

Don't look at this as a smack to either party. BTW if they had taken McCain voters with the exact same questions...they would probabley be the same out come. Most people are not informed. We arer all to worried about getting cheap underwaer from Wal-mart...and then as we stand in line to pay for it, bitch about how jobs are being moved overseas!!

There is also a website that this video came from www.howobamagotelected.com It goes over a poll that was done with the same questions

700 Billion Bailout BS....not cool!

OK back on the box

So read back on this blog....when the weasels wanted 700 billion. I wrote of my concern of the loose terminology in the bill. I was suspect of giving so much power to one man....Paulson. I hate to say I told you so.....but I told you so.

They sold us on the plan that the 700B would be buying up securities....allowing for the capital markets to relieve their balance sheets of this "bad" debt. Giving them the cash they needed. We were alos told that most of the bad debt was not bad. That in fact we could possibly make money on this deal...Buy low, sell high. This all made sense....but I knew they were lying.

They have yet to buy the secutrities and in fact do not plabn to. They have bought bank stock instead...they are now talikng about bailing out the car industry, they have talked about bailing out the personal mortgage business....it's a cluster to the ninth degree.

Lastly I hear President Elect Obama thinks they will need an additional 700B...

interesting times.

too tired to blog....not cool

I am off my soap box and on my pity pot.

Since the election and my vacation I have not been in the blogging mood. Did Hillary get the nod for Secretary of State last Friday? Cripes I just heard Hannity report it....I am so out of it. This financial mess....this political mess.....has got me scratching my head. I am not one to not have an opinion, but.....

This is economic mess hurts my brain. I cannot even think of how they are going to fix this mess. I have decided not to worry, start getting back into the market and worry about my little island. Our company is blowing it out....no financial crisis in the cable business. We have just had the two largest months in company history. We have about 25 employees and with all of their spouses and children we have about 50-60 people on our "Island" We have all talked about the need to make sure our island isn't effected by the rest of the world. Keep our heads down, be cautious when spending money, and sell a lot of cables. Seems to be working.

Great for the business....not so great for the blog.

Pirates and Urine drinking????not too cool!

I read a few stories this week that took me by surprise.
The first is the story about pirates hijacking a oil tanker. An Oil Tanker????
This is the ship! In fact this is not to rare with over 36 ships hijaced this year. Mostly off the African coast. Sounds silly to me. It's not like you can hide these things....

Next is an article on the newest space station voyage. Nasa needed to update the space station. They had brought furniture, exercise equipment and new toilet and of cours a new machine that takes urine and sweat and turns it into drinking water.

There goes any thoughts I had about being an astronaut. Drinking urine???? no thanks.

Urine Machine

Back in the saddle.....cool!

Back from a great vacation! Denise and I went to florida for 9 days for our 20th. We had a great time. 80 degrees, golf, tennis, great food and drinks and lots of relaxing. Naples was an outstading location.

I have a lot to write about this week. But first I gotta get back in the saddle at work.

No surprise last night.........

I went into the final leg of this journey knowing that McCain would be defeated. As I posted last week, this saddened me.

Today is a crazy busy day....I am off on vacation tomorrow for my 20th with my bride!

I am sure I will be able to get some wireless connection to give you some thoughts on the President Elect Obama victory.

God Bless America!

The Blog Vote.....cool

21 of my readers voted on this blog. 13 for McCain and 8 for Obama. That's 61% for McCain

This is the biggest margin he has had in any of the national polls....maybe he will call me to discuss the results...LOL

I still think that McCain will not have the big come back....we will see.

Thanks for all the readers that are Obama fans for hanging in there and reading all my "fair" reporting. I will soon be back to cussing out the local waitress and bitching at the local guy behind the counter handing out horrible customer service. I may even spend sometime talking about network cables .....remember, cables pay the bills!

Can't wait to see the results of the real election!

I Voted.....cool

300 people in line at 5:30. I pushed the button at 7:30...there was another 250 people behind me.

Great News America....YOU CAN VOTE!

Go and Vote Today and make a difference!

The Election is upon us.....cool!

It's been a great season to blog. Thanks for tagging along for my slanted view of the world. Don't forget to vote on the blog....right side....and more importantly....go vote tomorrow.

I truly must say, I am afraid for our nation on this eve of election. I am not happy that McCain may win....and I am very frightened to see Obama win. I think that many people are unaware of the "change" we will see under an Obama presidencies.

I hope my buddy George is right. He believes that McCain will win. In each of the swing states where the race is close, George believes that McCain will win. It's going to come down to : Missouri, Ohio, PA, Virginia, NC and Florida.

Here are just two issues to think about:

"Spread the wealth" we already have spread the wealth. Most taxes are already paid by the few. It's a fact. The question is how much should they pay. Is 50%-65% "fair" Is having 1/2 the population not pay any income tax good for the country?
He not only believes this policy....but is very open to it. He wants the Government to take more from the very people who have not only worked hard and invested and risked the most, but then wants the gvt to spend more on social programs that are not working now. We need someone to go in and clean out the fat and corruption in the programs....not expand it and have more Americans feel that it's better to do nothing and get something!

Abortion and the Supreme court. He will have 2-3 judges retire during his term. He has already stated he will appoint judges to not only uphold Roe vs Wade but strengthens it! This is a guy who believes that all abortion is OK...believes it's OK for a minor to have an abortion without parental consent.....believes in Infanticide...watch the video I posted last week. He states..."I am going to bring up my two daughters with the right morals...however if they make a mistake why should they pay for that mistake with a child" This is not just a slippery slope....it's a downright avalanche. This is just a tip of the morality issue. Even if you believe abortion should be legal...I know no one that thinks infanticide and late term abortions.....where they yank the baby out piece by piece....is a good choice. Obama does and has stated so. Even though McCain says he is pro life....he would never get r vs w overturned. The more of the same may not be bad after all.


Go Vote Tomorrow.....if your voting for McCain...vote twice.....LOL

Obama caught again....cool!

Here is another example of how this guy's very liberal agenda and elitist agenda has been white washed in the past few months.....but you cannot take back the words you have spoken. He delivered this interview in Jan 2008. Did we not hear this guy say that he is for "clean coal" and nukes and all sorts of power and alternative power during his debate? YES we did. McCain did a lousy job proving his point that Obama is against Nukes, against drilling, and against COAL. OK Senator how will we power our world??? Yup...we will just keep buying oil from other countries and put us further in debt!

Happy Birthday Christopher

My youngest turns 11 today. All Saints day....and he is a little saint. I use to call him our miracle baby. As many of you know he was close to his deathbed at the age of 1. His undiagnosed "severe" case of Celiac disease almost took him down. It's a long story, but we thank God we lived in Hershey PA at the that time and today we have a 100% healthy, smart, funny little man in the house.

I could not ask for a better son. In a house full of women, we tend to stick together. Today we off to the pancake house again!
Yup.....the only polace that serves gluten free pancakes!


Christopher...you're a good man my friend. I know that we will always be this close. See you in the HotTub!
Love Dad.
