D'ya think??  

The musings and understandable concerns of one who keeps his ear close to the ground.

I suppose it's a good thing that several years ago we decided on a not-for-profit company (now Vidant) to take over the Washington Hospital and subsequently seemingly everything else "medical" in the County.

It was about 2 years ago when we were hearing what a good chance Mitt Romney had of being our next President.

It is not clear just how it is that our Representatives and Senators manage to come up with all the ideas they seem to come up with for all new laws they seem to think of.

In case you haven't noticed, the Tonight Show has changed. Long time host Jay Leno is gone. He has been replaced by Jimmie Fallon whose late - late night show used to follow the Leno Tonight Show on NBC..

Our Imperial Savior said in a New York Times interview last year that there was "no evidence" the Keystone pipeline would be a "big jobs generator," claiming it might create 2,000 jobs in the construction phase but far fewer permanent jobs.

It's interesting. As we watch the Obamacare implementation fiasco play out, the ineptitude of the people who specified, designed and built the site is simply amazing.

Hold on to your hats!! I am about to agree with something our glorious leader said. In talking about the National Debt and the Debt Limit, he laid the blame on the congress, those who control the purse strings. He was right (partly).

An AP article in the Jan. 20 Tampa Tribune informs us that the Affordable Care Act helps narrow the income gap between rich and poor.

It would seem that one of Gov. Christie's spear carriers screwed up big time. First they (she) did something really stupid and then lied about it.

It is clearly time to increase the minimum wage. How can anyone be expected to live on the paltry minimum currently in force.. They really can't.

The great American ethic is that money will buy anything. It is particularly true in the political world. We try to buy everything from international friendship to better schools to votes to taxpayer support for some behavior that politicians believe we should embrace.

It's interesting. It seemed as though every time an AP writer mentioned the Anointed One going to Hawaii for his Christmas vacation, they told us that Hawaii is his home state or that he was born there or both. Could that seemingly singular focus possibly be fueled by doubts??

Talk about decorum (or lack of thereof). The anointed One goes half way around the world to (presumably) represent our country in paying last respects to Nelson Mandela.

Wow

The New York Court of appeals recently quashed a Colorado subpoena that would have forced a New York based reporter to testify in a Colorado court about the source of some information she reported concerning the 7/12/2012 Aurora Colorado theater massacre.

It would seem that the O.J. magic is gone. Apparently the Kennedy magic (even though only by marriage) is still intact. O.J.'s appeal for a new trial gets rejected. Michael Skakel's latest appeal (there have been numerous others) finally gets some notice.

As I was poking around the internet the other day, I came across definitive proof that those folks who tell us that we must spend additional money on education if we are ever going to see any improvements in the outcomes may well be right. Hmmm...

With the stroke of a pen the Anointed one has created a climate change task force. I suppose if one properly interprets the term "general Welfare" appearing in the Preamble of the Constitution they could find authority for running the government with nothing but Executive Orders.

Several weeks ago it was Harry Reid threatening to invoke the "Nuclear Option" (i.e. changing the Senate rules so that a simple majority would be all that is required to pass legislation) if the Reps didn't do whatever it was he wanted.

The House passes and sends to the Senate a bill funding the Government (but for ObamaCare) through mid-December. Harry Reid pronounces it dead on arrival and claims that the Reps are trying to shut down the Government.

Did you ever hear of a young man named Treyvon Martin before a year and a half ago or so?? Not likely. His death was truly a sad event.

We read that the Mayor of San Diego was able to cut a deal whereby he would resign the office and the city will pick up the tab for any legal fees and financial judgments against him resulting from the numerous suits brought against him for sexual harassment.

During the last election cycle, someone suggested that it was time that someone (I believe it was a Dem, but don't remember which one) should "Man up." Actually, it is also time for the Reps. to "man up". (No offense to those of the female persuasion.)

When someone threatens you, protect yourself. The whole notion sounds imminently fair and reasonable - until someone actually does threaten you and you do protect yourself.

In the wake of the grossly unfair jury verdict (according to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson) recently handed down in the Florida George Zimmerman trial, we are hearing all kinds of proposals to get rid of the "stand your ground" laws.

That would make it three and a half times we have been treated to the same BS. If you believe what they are peddling, you are in for a very rude awakening one of these days...

It's interesting. The Reps reportedly have decided that it might be a good idea to separate the Food Stamp Program from the Farm Subsidies contained in the so called Farm Bill.

We frequently hear that the inmates have taken over the asylum. It would now seem that the skin merchants have taken over the Government. At least the Justice Department. (Justice??)

In the Tampa Tribune of 7/19, there was a truly interesting article about the Senate's agreement to start voting on the Anointed One's nominations to fill vacancies on his "leadership team".
