There is a price to be paid when a president throws a party every other night, weekends in Chicago or Camp David and poses for magazine cover after magazine cover….Too busy to actually do the job to which he was elected 
After 51 days in office, Barack Obama has appointed only 73 people to 1,200 jobs that require Senate confirmation.
At this rate he’ll never get done 
A very interesting video about life, population, education and how it is all changing. Enjoy!
There are 5 times the number of words in the English language today than there were in Shakespeare’s time.
3000 books were published…..today!
No new bailout today, but a bond reporter on CNBC, Rick Santelli, sure made some comments on the President’s mortgage bailout….

See and hear it all right here.
Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year.
I’m not much of a political pundit, but I enjoyed the Republican VP’s speech, especially all those digs into BO. Last night, Sarah Palin singlehandedly replaced angry feminism with a solid advance in the status of women. My vote goes to Sarah!
The arrogance of people who can’t handle the realization that we are NOT in control and just exist at the whim of nature. I’m sure that many of the inhabitants of New Orleans have a multitude of personal reasons for living there. I, for one, would never consider living in a bowl that is below sea level, on the coast of a large body of water, and in the path of hurricanes.
By now I’m sure you have heard of the passing of Randy Pausch. I saw his lecture on youtube last October and passed the link on to as many people as I knew. I also told them to have tissues or a hankie nearby. If you have not seen the lecture, please do. If you have not read the book, please do.

“We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, If the plural of man is always called men, If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Beware of heard, a dreadful word If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?

But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?

2) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
3) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
4) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
