Sunday Night Song

Who are the Occupy Wherever protesters? It is a widening collection of village idiots with global associations.

When you get past the radical left, the peacenicks, CAIR, ACORN, the Socialists and the Communists, you find a youthful contingency lacking in the skill set, complete with hard work ethic, integrity and competitiveness, to achieve the success they desire. This is the same group where everyone got a trophy in little league.

These folks think that rewards come without paying the necessary price, and when these rewards are not forthcoming, they are victims. Hence, they demand wealth transformation. Somehow, they think they are deserving. God forbid they put in the work and still come up short!

I grew up wanting to win The Heisman Trophy. I got over it.

Decisions made have consequences. If you graduated from say, Cornell, with a degree in Liberal Arts specializing music of the Orient and have $50,000 of tuition debt, it would be logical to assume a high paying job does not await your graduation and you may find difficulty is satisfying that debt. Perhaps a more suitable major should have been selected?

Instead of camping out, get a job; any job. Rather than claiming your a victim, chart your own path. In fact, quit bitching. The big bad world doesn't owe you a thing! Get Over It!

From Don Henely and The Eagles, a Sunday Night Song message for the protesters:

Sunday Night Song

It is week two of my new feature, Sunday Night Song, where I highlight a favorite tune of mine.

With the Eagles hitting Orlando Tuesday night, it seemed rather obvious to choose one of the many great tunes this fantastic group of musicians have put out. Glenn Frey and Don Henley are the two leaders of the group, which also includes Uncle Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. The Eagles have been going since the early seventies, so there is an extensive list of tunes to choose from. While I like them all, I do seem to favor the influence of Glenn Frey. With that in mind, here is "New Kid In Town" from Glenn Frey and the Eagles. Hopeless romantics, here we go again!
