BREAKING NEWS ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH PLAN

Democrats, realizing the success of the President’s “Cash For Clunkers” rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reid are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week.   I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal, which is named, “Cash for Codgers.”

“Cash for Codgers” works like this…

What is on Obama’s Blackberry?

It may be the most high profile rehab ever witnessed. In the dark corners of the Whitehouse, not long after the inauguration, Obama will have to quit using his Blackberry. 

Although it has not been commonplace for long, Presidents are urged to lose any personal or private Internet accounts for fear of it being using against them at some point. Obama has said, “I’m still clinging to my Blackberry…they are going to have to pry it out of my hands.” [Read more...]

Maybe I Shouldn’t be “Off the Grid”

“Get out of the rat race.” “Slow down a bit.” “Go to the country.” “Relax.” -  I don’t need any more suggestions thank you.

Tracy and I just got back from spending a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains and I, once again, learned I am not very good “getting away from it all.” I was looking for excuses to leave the cabin and head to one of the few towns within an hour drive. 

How bad am I? [Read more...]
