Too Much Health Insurance????????????

I think this signficant.

Too much health insurance?
I read this this monrning after scrolling through another blog that noted it.
I was under the impression that the problem was that some people can't afford health insurance.
This is so wrong.

No time to write this morning hope you had a great weekend.

Weekend Post

Duke did it again and my little bit of glee after the Hoya's beat them the other night was - as expected - short lived. I hope to catch the Cincinnati / Georgetown game tomorrow. The weekend again is for college basketball, some paperwork a good book and family time. If it's warm I hope to shoot some golf; it has been possible to play here this month and I have done it twice. Two cheers fro warmer than normal winters.

I will be leaving in March for a few weeks to travel to a variety of places around the globe for my job. I have not traveled overseas since my son was born but it will be necessary again at least this time.

My wife wanted to go see Brokeback Mountain this evening. I didn't. She went with a friend. I'd rather stay home and son-sit.

I like to think of myself as a fairly enlightened individual. I wonder why then I really just didn't think I could stomach this movie. What did it mean?
I love going to the movies, always have always will. Love the popcorn and chocolate mix and the five six dollar coke all mixed together. So am I a raving homophobic? We have a couple of gay friends so I just can't figure it.

It came to me eventually, it has nothing to do with any of that; it is simply that
I don't like seeing love stories of any kind unless there is a lot of action of some other kind in them, I don't like "Westerns". I don't like art films and this is a close as they come from what I hear.

If it is hilarious, clever, and fast I like it. If it is full of action and suspense I like it. I don't think that I have seen a movie that didn't fit the aforementioned criteria in a very long time.

I feel better now.

Have a nice weekend out there.

Quick One

I have been reading the BIO site recently and see it as having potential. I hope it does not become a contest among major posters for attention that the kos often seems to be. I still read the Kos mind you it just seems more often than not it is some kind of proving ground.

Sorry MJ for assuming Indiana /Iowa. Bless Duke and may the power that be fall slowly and with ease.

If anyone knows a better link manager than blogrolling let me know otherwise I am changing over to blogrolling to prevent problems should I decide to change my template.

Slippery Slopes

I don't buy into this completely. I believe we are on a very slippery slope and watching his smirking face on CNN trying to persuade does not make it any different.

Political Notio is returning to full time status in the near future.
This is a good thing I look forward to it.

The trial of SH is becoming a joke.

I hope google sticks to it's original plan.

I had a good college basketball weekend and a not so good football weekend.

I have the luxury of working from home most of this week which means spending some quality time with my son and wife.

Will be traveling quite a lot this spring so I am going to enjoy this time while it's here.

I'm holding out from changing the name of this blog to average businessman and wife.

Nada

Georgetown over Duke.

My weekend is complete.

news and Kelly Clarkson

Bin Laden on tape...we reject truce offer. Nope no truce were gonna annihilate you. Not sure what that's about. Is that guy really still alive?


Alito now qualifying his responeses. I still do not want him on the supreme court of this nation.

Wilson Pickett dies. It's someone everyday isn't it?

Kelly CLarkson won't let them use her songs for the show??

You will forgive me I was doing a three month stunt in Wisconsin at the time of the first idol and we did watch it. I've haven't seen it since but hear she has gotten pretty famous. I don't blame her.

Busy few weeks and everyone in my house is gettng sick and staying sick with sme kind of respiratory virus so I am bailing out and just doing a cop out.

Nothing else to say.

I have caught some of the hearings, on the new and on late night CNN coverage. I think the man doth talk a good game and I think we all need to be very wary of what that means.

Is this really necessary?

I admit to having an Ipod now. I have a long commute and travel some. I do conduct a lot of business from my rural home, but when driving and flying the Ipod gives me great pleasure, and I thank my wife for her insistence. Ipod compatible jeans is a little over the top for me. Maybe if I wore jeans to work it would be different.

Al Jazeera is loving this still.

When he wakes up and makes his first speech I wonder what form the claims of divinity will take.

When you find him let me know.

Great start to the new year.

Ariel Sharon is not going to survive.

But no fear as it is the will of God.

Sadly Lou Rawls passed on and Iraq had it's bloodiest day in months.

Let's keep those wire taps burning.

Great start to the new year.

At least John Stewart is hosting the Oscars.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's been a few days but I hope you all enjoyed the holiday and are still enjoying. We did a short trip and may do another. I am currently enjoying my family. I have again been assigned to take my son to the library so this is a good place for me to sit and read again.

I'm still trying to come up with resolutions that are attainable.

I will be sure to let you know if I do.

HAPPY HOLIDAY

Things do look like they are heating up in Washington and right before the holiday too.

Hopefully people will get their just deserts.

I’m hoping for apple pie..pumpkin is not my thing.


Happy Holidays all. I celebrate Christmas so you all enjoy whatever you celebrate. Things get hectic. We travel a bit over the next week.


Enjoy your time with family and friends.

Five Weird Things

I’ve been too busy to do much writing this week.
I’ll rectify that later on this month I hope.
In the meantime I am going to do a tag because the Girl on the Blog tagged me with the question of five weird habits.

1. I must wear flannel pajama bottoms no top no exceptions for weather.
2. According to my wife I snore when I am on my left side only; she thinks I do it on purpose. She spends quite a bit of time trying to roll me back and forth.

3. Peanut butter on apples or on celery. These are staples that must be in my home at all times.

3. Losing my glasses. I wear contacts and use glasses one third of the time. I lose three pairs a year without fail.

5. Play old Grateful Dead records when we have guests no matter who the guests may be.

I need to state that I am opposed to the death penalty and think that the governor made a mistake he will pay for dearly. He is already in a political jam and I think morally this was the wrong thing to do.

Weekend

The Patriot Act up for renewal. I have extremely mixed feeling about this and think they really haven't looked at the toll it takes on our civil liberties.

I think Arnold has a busy weekend. I don't believe in the death penalty so my choice is to let him live and continue to do what he has been doing for the paste years. Makes sense. It cost more to execute him anyway.

Just looking at Shaq would scare me. He will end up a commissioner in some elected law enforcement office you wait and see.

I am the assitant house trimmer for decorating this weekend and then will attend a mandatory social event to kick off the season.

Everyone have a good weekend.

John Lennon

We still miss John Lennon.

Nothing I can say will suffice.
The land of blogs is full information and tributes.



All We Are Saying

Is Give Peace A Chance

Denies torture?

Denies torture?


I caught a bit of this news flash this morning.

Last night I watched a show, briefly, about how to tell if someone is lying.

In my non expert opinion Condi is pretty good at it, but she is not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth; she's not as good as JFK but not as bad as Clinton. The lift of the eyebrows and the roll of the eyes give it away. She could have disguised it better. I’m sure they give thorough instructions on this.

Hope you had a great weekend.

December Begins

This weekend will be a lot of putting up a few outside Christmas lights which takes time and patience; right now it's UNK/UK basketball to give me time to gather some of that patience.

I think my son will enjoy the lights this year; he's two and the lights will fascinate him.

Have a good weekend.

Post Thanksgiving.

Busy four days and I haven't had much time to write.
Hope everyone had a great holiday.
Ours was pretty nice overall, some good food and drink, visits with family and friends, college football and some much needed time spent with family.

Congress is still out so the news is not as full of itself as it could be.

A NYT article claims Bush has stated that the time to start leaving Iraq is when the commanders on the ground tell him that the Iraqi forces can defend their freedom. I am pretty sure that it has already been ascertained that in order for this to progress to the point necessary their would actually have to be an all out , full blast effort; one which would include initially a whole lot more man power. Is this whole thing not a picture of ineffectual action?

It is getting discouraging.

Hope to get some blog time later this evening.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY

I'll be out tomorrow due to eating too much more that anything else.
You all have a happy day and enjoy it whatever it is you do.

"Walk the Line" was well worth seeing whether you are a Cash fan or not but especially if you are.

I hope the congress gets it's collective head together durng their two week break, they need to start making sense of things again.

Weekend

This is not a stunt. This is not an attack on an individual. This is a legitimate question," said Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, who introduced the withdrawal resolution. He said he was concerned that Murtha's remarks on Thursday had inaccurately sent a message to the troops and the rest of the world that Congress no longer supported the deployment.

I don't yet know what to make of this but if a representative such as Murtha comes out with such a statement I have to give it some credence. They are going to eat him alive though I expect he knew that.

As far as the Atheist sueing to take God off money??? What a waste of time and money.

Boston College and Wake Forest both won yesterday which makes me happy as the season begins. Nice stuff.

Weekend of winterizing the home front.
Thinking about checking out a movie this evening if we can get a babysitter. That's the kicker once you have a kid...you got to get a baby sitter, and not just any babysitter it has to be the best babysitter, the one who your child "relates too". Does a two year old "relate"? I don't know, but I'm guessing the babysitter he "relates" to best, as soon as she locks the door behind us starts plying my son with cookies and candy while letting him jump on the beds with wild abandon. That's my boy.

In perspective.

Not a whole lot of time to post this week. I'm putting life in perspective, looking at the over eighty- seven thousand dead post earthquake in Palestine.

Life is short in many cases.
Enjoy it.

Weekend Times.

Carolina over Florida.
Spurrier Faces His Old Team, and Promptly Turns the Table
This pleases me to no end.

Graham if you stop by congrats on England over Argentina.

I'm taking the weekend off and readng no newspaper reports on politics.
Maybe it will all go away and be perfectly respectable by Monday.
