I am not the world's most political guy. I know what I believe and I know liberals are morons! Seriously, I don't want this blog to become another "right-wing" outpost. There are enough of those and the writers on those sites are going to exceed even my loftiest dreams. That having been said, I do have some thoughts about some news items that I want to get off my chest. This is not an article that I necessarily want feedback on. If you want to discuss stuff, let's talk about how your heart is and where Jesus fits into the equation. But for the record, let me say...
1. I don't care what Democrats say, I want a private savings account with my social security money in it. I'm tired of working my fingers to the bone so that my percentage can be sent to Grandma and Grandpa playing golf in Florida. Sorry you didn't save enough when you were working. I'm through paying your entitlement. I don't want a portion of mine in a private account - I want the whole enchilada in there. It's mine, I earned it, I ought to keep it. Period. Did you know government employees (including some of the very idiots who are saying you can't control your own money) are allowed to deflect a portion of their pay into a retirement plan that looks amazingly similar to the one President Bush has proposed? Why won't they let you do the same? Because you are stupid. And your money belongs to THEM, not you.
2. Teachers in the Albany (NY) City school district were encouraged by the school board to call parents to update them on their children's performance. Problem is, the Teacher's Union said the teachers won't do it. It's not in their contract. One Social Studies teacher on TV said, "I have 125 students. I can't make all those calls. I do have a life, you know.". Yep. And you'll have one filled with unemployment if you don't grab a phone and start talking.
2a. This is why my girls will never go to public school. And, even though it seems a dead issue now, I'm still hugely in favor of schol vouchers so I can take the small fortune I give the school district every year and buy my girls state of the art homeschool supplies so they'll finish ahead of the public school brain-washing throng and take over the world. I can hope, I guess...
3. A guy on the radio yesterday started talking about a 16 year old girl who wanted an abortion. When the parents couldn't find the child, they asked school officials. They said a counselor had escorted her to a Planned Parenthood office. When the parents tried to go in and get their daughter, who is a minor, they nearly arrested them. Now, I searched the interent for the story but couldn't find it. So I don't know if it's real or an urban legend. But think - you read it and automatically thought it was true, didn't you? How sad is our country when we think a horrible thing like that actually could happen? Truth is, it probably has and you didn't even know about it.
4. The Yankees are 9-14. It's not so much that the Yankees are old (they are) bloated (they are) and don't care about anything but the paycheck (they don't), but I think the rest of the league has caught up to them. Boston beat them last year. The Orioles and Blue Jays are much improved. The Angels just beat them 2 out of 3. Texas beat them up, too. These teams are building young teams with talent. Talent that's not intimidated by the Pinstripes. It's too early to say if the Yankees are done. But the last three years, they seem to wind down after August. This year, they've wound down before they could wind up. It could be the end of the line. How sweet would it be if the Yankees didn't even make the playoffs?
5. Who do you think will win "American Idol"? Right now, I'd bet on Bo with Vonzell second. I'm glad Constantine got kicked off. Paula sobs when he loses. It's so shocking! No it's not. Sing better, loser! He never could sing. There are people sitting at home who didn't even make it past the first audition who can sing better than that. I'm not even sure how he got to where he was. Yeesh, that's bad stuff!
6. They took Glenn Beck off WGY and replaced him with a poser punk rocker who screams at me. Great. Any wonder why I've been listening more to WROW lately?
7. If any of you know about a house in the country (preferably Schoharie County), please let us know. I'm tired of paying all my taxes to the Communist Socialist Republic of Schenectady. I'm broke and what do I have to show for it? Dirty streets, garbage pick-up I have to pay for, a stuttering fool for a mayor whose idea of getting things done is renting a bus and driving to Albany to get a couple of dollars. And this Della Ratta city councilman who beats up a kid and won't resign his office? And the mayor won't remove him from office. Christians can't get hired because of their faith, but if you want to kick the crap out of some guy, that makes you a character leader. I'm so proud of my hometown. Yippee.
Seven is plenty for tonight, I think. See you in May!
