The New Year? No Surprises.

I can’t believe I haven’t posted on this blog since December 17th of last year. But then again what’s been happening? It’s really more of business as usual in the entertainment industry or the presidential primaries…no surprises really. What? No surprises? Yeah, that’s what I said and I’m sticking to it.

In entertainment news….Britney is still a loon which is no surprise and the surprise that K-Fed is the responsible one is last year’s news. It’s also no surprise that more and more overpaid celebrities are in the rehab resorts. No surprise that the writer’s strike is still going and really no surprise that people haven’t noticed.

In the primaries….I’m not surprised that Fred Thompson dropped out. I’m not surprised that Rudy G. dropped out. And, I’m not surprised that Chuck Norris is still for Huckabee. How about the losers that dropped out on the Dem’s side? No surprises. Also no surprise are the endorsements picked up by Obama. John Kerry and the Kennedy’s? How could that surprise anyone? Neither Kerry (a Vietnam Veteran) nor the Kennedy’s (did any go to ‘Nam?) have any love for Hillary Clinton…so, no surprises.

How about the miserable excuse for election year politics called the Economic Stimulus Package? No surprise. C’mon is anyone really surprised that a bunch of polititians would throw around money that isn’t theirs in order to placate the idiots that form the masses? Are they giving the money to the people that pay the most in taxes like business owners – No. Are they giving money to people that really don’t pay taxes anyway – Yes! Is that a surprise – No? Anyone surprised that the media isn’t pointing out that a really similar plan to stimulate the economy failed when President Hoover tried it in an era called “The Great Depression”?

I’ll get back to you when there’s something surprising or at least interesting.

Because She’s A Woman

I heard it on the radio. The woman on the phone with the radio show’s host declared she was a supporter of Hillary Clinton. The host asked the woman a simple question, “what policy of hers do you like?” The answer was a simple, “I don’t know.” She later admitted that the only reason she was voting for Hillary Clinton was…”She’s a woman.”

It’s scary to think that people are that stupid. I’m not saying it’s stupid to vote for a woman. I’m on the record as saying I would vote for the right woman, but what if I said I’m voting for Mitt Romney just because he’s a man? People would consider me an idiot and they’d be right.

Please, if you’re actually going to vote for someone to be President of the United States, check out the candidates. Learn what their policies are, especially if they want to raise taxes like Hillary does. Find out about their backgrounds in (alleged) insider trading like Hillary. Consider their experience running a business or government like…someone other than Hillary.

My first post

Hello and welcome to my first blog post on blogger.com! There’s lots more to come because I have a lot to say. I’ll be talking about politics and elections…local, state, and national. That means immigration, the Global War On Terrorism, Medicare, and also sorts of other stuff will be blogged about. The environment…Oh yeah. I’ll talk about health care because it’s something near and dear to me. Movies, music and the people that make movies and music will be another topic that I’ll be discussing. Sports? Yes, I’ll be going on and on about sports from time to time, especially my San Antonio Spurs and shooting sports. I probably won’t be posting much about my occupation on this particular blog because I blog about that subject on another blog called the San Antonio Massage Therapy Blog. This blog isn’t about my occupation.

Why will I be posting/blogging/talking about all of this stuff? Because I can and because you will be really interested in what I have to say. No, really. You will be endlessly entertained and/or angered by what I have to say whether you agree with me or not.

What qualifies me to comment on these various subjects? Well, I have a good brain and a pretty good education. I pay attention to the world and am well informed. I’ve experienced a great many things in life. And…I’m an American! So, even if I weren’t qualified to blog on these subjects my American citizenship means I can say pretty much anything I want to! If you can’t do that where you are…too bad. Make a change.
Hey, feel free to make comments on what I have to say. Even if you don’t agree with me leave a comment, but…….make sure you don’t get into name calling, poor logic, or spreading false information. If you do your comment won’t be posted. If you’re polite and reasoned you’ll be ok.
