Regardless of whom you voted for or whether or not you are happy or sad with the outcome of the Presidential election; aren’t you getting just a little sick of the coverage? You would think there is nothing else going on in this world except our election, little Caylee and now the suicide of some deranged Paula Abdul fan. Why are they comparing Obama’s wife to Jackie Kennedy? Why can’t she just be who she is with her own style and manner of doing things? Why would the media think that Mrs. Obama would want to parrot anyone in the first place; she strikes me as a woman who knows who she is and does not need to copy anyone. Who knows what she or Sarah Palin actually spent on clothes or who paid for them. I do agree that if taxpayer money went to dress either of them they should be ashamed of spending it in light of the economy. All I truly know is that I for one will be so glad when the present administration is gone. The bail out is just another example of filling the coffers of undeserving cronies.
Everyone is probably sick of news about Calhoun Park therefore this will be the last comment until something major happens. Christmas décor is up and I was thinking how nice it would be to use the newly refurbished park for the live Nativity; keep the tradition alive.
Everyday the news is so depressing. The pundits go on and on about the sorry state of things or how that hot shot Paulson is handing out money with no accountability while the CEO’s and other executives continue to take home millions in bonuses or throw big parties; i.e. AIG. More companies want on the band wagon so they too can get a piece of the pie; our pie. Have you ever wondered what those execs do with their bonuses? What do you do with 54 million dollars every year? There is just so much one can buy. Surely their status as rich is well documented when rich seems to be the measure of a person these days. Think about it. We sit back and let the government take our money to give to companies that do not pay their fair share of taxes just so they can replace the money they have already stolen. Meanwhile, you and I, the regular citizen, wonder each year where we are going to get the money to pay the taxes they are spending on their lavish parties. How long are we going to be apathetic? When are we going to stand up and say enough is enough?
This week I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman from Colorado who owns and operates a Llama farm in Colorado Springs. He is also going to raise some other animal from South America but I had never heard of the animal and my mind did not retain it. I didn’t have the nerve to ask him what he did with the Llamas; I was afraid he sold them for slaughter.
