Nov. 26, 2009 - Black Friday Solution

The Enquirer’s front page, top of the fold story today was, “10 Tips for Black Friday Success.”

It spoke about planning ahead, parking smartly, etc. I could have saved the Enquirer 1000 words and a lot of ink. My tip list is 3 words long: DO NOT GO.

I’m sure the Friday Night News will have a story about how some shopping mob trampled and maimed or killed someone because of all the hype. Check the archives, it happens every year.

I’ve solved the problem. What’s next?

Nov. 20. 2009 - FRIDAY FUNNY - Hitler on Rich Rodriguez

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY comes from an OSU grad. I apologize for some of the language within the video, but it was too funny not to post.

The video is a dramatization of an actual University of Michigan athletic department meeting regarding the recent football program practice scandal.

GO BUCKS!!!

Nov. 19. 2009 - Health Care Deform

Yesterday’s Cincinnati Enquirer had an article titled, “Public Wants the Rich to Pay for Health Plan, Poll Finds.”

My response is why?

Last I checked, health care was not a provision guaranteed by the US Constitution.

I have no problem paying for someone’s health care, provided they mow my grass, paint my house, or watch my kids. These services would make them my employees. As such I would offer a health care option.

Being forced to pay for something because I have more marbles than someone else, doesn’t seem right.

Why is success such a negative attribute? I sacrificed to go to college. I took out student loans, ate Spam and Velveeta sandwiches and drank Buckhorn beer. Meanwhile, my contemporaries were making money and making life style choices.

Why should I now subsidize those that did not have the same drive to achieve a more affluent position?

Ironically, the original US Constitution stated only white males were eligible to vote, and most limited the vote to those white males who owned a certain amount of property. (In other words, if you were a renter, you couldn’t vote.) Since only a small minority of white males owned enough property to qualify, the vast majority of the population was denied the vote. By some estimates, less than 5% of the population were eligible to vote in the election of 1800.

The below passage is taken from Section 2, Article I, of the original US Constitution.“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.)”

According to our Fore Fathers, the wealthy should get a more proportional vote. Try that concept now.

So here we are some 220 years later with some people deciding that we need “Wealth Redistribution.”

This is nothing more than CLASS WARFARE. This philosophy has never worked in the past and will not work this time.

I'm all for universal health care. But if the health care is equal and "universal", then why should some pay more for the SAME services?

It would be great if we all took responsibility for our life decisions and results.

Dare to dream. This was once the American motto

Nov. 13, 2009 - Friday Funny - A Prayer

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY comes from a Jabberwocker in New Jersey. This is just too beatuiful not to share.

A Daughter's Prayer for her Dad.

"Dear God, please send clothes for all those poor ladies on daddy's computer, Amen."

Nov.12, 2009 - Veteran's Day Observation

Was it me, or did it seem that more people including retailers celebrated Veteran’s Day this year?

Veterans were offered free meals at Applebee’s and Outback Steakhouse to name a few. I don't remember the same gesture last year.

I feel veterans should receive discounted meals EVERY day, not just one day a year. They are under paid and under appreciated.

It just seemed odd that they were more appreciated this year. Maybe it was the continuation of the “I'm not-George Bush” mentality.

BTW – How’s that Afghanistan decision coming Mr. Obama?

It’s only been 4 months and nine meetings. As the great philosopher Lee Iacocco once said, “Lead, Follow, or GET OUT OF THE WAY.”

Nov. 10, 2009 - The Death Penalty

John Allen Muhammad, the sniper who kept the Washington region paralyzed by fear for three weeks in 2002 as he and a young accomplice gunned down and killed 10 people at random, has been executed by lethal injection.

I don’t have a strong death penalty position as it relates to the argument that it is a deterrent. I do have a STRONG feeling in how it is delivered.

A more just punishment would have been to set Muhammad free. I would tell him that some time in the next 50 years he may or may not get taken out by a sniper. He may be pumping gas (like some of his victims), he may be shopping at the Home Depot (like some of his other victims), you just never know.

Death row inmates get too many appeals, too many courtesies, and live way too long after their punishment has been determined. We have death row inmates that claim that they are too fat to be injected. We have others that argue that lethal injection is inhumane. REALLY!!!!

Muhammad died a painless death and had time to make peace with it, UNLIKE HIS VICTIMS.

The only words the executioner should say when he is done is, NEXT!!!

Nov. 6, 2009 - Friday Funny- O-H-I-O

As the Ohio State football team heads into a pivotal three game schedule against Penn State, Iowa, and Michigan, I offer a picture of how some OSU alumni, and car dealers, used the "Clunkers-For-Cash" program to make a point.

These cars are awaiting the Obama government's approval as clunkers.

Go Bucks.

Nov. 5, 2009 - National Debt

Here a submission from a Jabberwocker in KY as the house plans to vote on a $1.2 TRILLION Health Care Reform (?) bill.

Nov. 2, 2009 - Ohio Issue #3

Tomorrow is Election Day in Ohio. I’ve taken the time to research most of the issues. I only feel strongly about Issue #3 – Casino Gambling.

While the drafting of the proposal is less than desired, the Ohio politicians have been inactive on the issue and have missed an opportunity. The legislature has time and time again refused to address the issue, and have left it up to the voters. If they had a better solution than a measure that rewrites the Ohio constitution then they should have offered it.

I have serious concerns about the logic behind the “NO on #3” position. They argue that the casino jobs won’t go to Ohio workers. Are workers going to commute from Vegas and Atlantic City?

All of the neighboring states, except KY, offer gambling. Ohio needed to do something to stop the money exodus.

The fact that the Catholic Church came out against the measure on moral grounds is hypocritical. The church has festivals with more gambling options than any casino could match. The church also offers weekly bingo games. Most Ohio bars offer keno and every gas station sells lottery tickets. Ohio people will gamble. Let’s gamble in Ohio.

I know I will spend my gambling dollars in Ohio, especially at a smoke-free facility.

The pundits are predicting a 35% voter turnout. How sad that we have the right to vote, but do not exercise it.

No matter your position on the issues, let your voice be heard and vote on Tuesday.
