To The Moon

If you ever wondered just how far our nation has fallen, your answer has just been summed up in rather stunning and simplistic fashion.























Earlier in his administration, President Obama charged NASA with Muslim outreach.

President Obama noted in Missouri just prior to his election in 2008 that "we are five days away from fundamentally transforming The United States of America" to an arena with resounding cheers.

Did these morons cheering have any idea what Obama would do to our once proud nation?  What exactly would he be transforming us into?

John F. Kennedy asked you to "ask not what your country can do for you, but you can do for your country."

Barack Obama thinks the Constitution is an imperfect document, one which reflects deep flaws, noting "the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you, it says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf."

There is a huge difference in these two men, and the Obama inner staff has little regard for JFK.

Obama has succeeded in transforming our nation, and for those who champion liberty and freedom, this is a most ominous development.

If only Jackie Gleason could instruct NASA to send Obama to the moon, and rid our nation of his anti-American influences.

Who Could Care?

Senator Chuck Schumer (D:NY) is quite full of himself, and much like our current President, thinks his goings on are much too significant for the likes of us to be concerned with. Schumer and his arrogance could be the poster child for the thought process that government should be making far reaching decisions for the common folk, you know, us with the pitchforks.

In thinking about it, Schumer maybe smarter than we give him credit for. A ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, Schumer ran off his mouth about the solvency of IndyMac Bank, which in turn led to a run on the bank. IndyMac Bank was the first bank to collapse in the now infamous housing crisis. Schumer denies any wrongdoing. And I'm Buford T. Justice.

The failing of IndyMac was a serious blow to a teetering financial system, which looking back in retrospect is just the sort of chaos which could catapolt a politician with soaring rhetoric, scant experience and a command of economic policy that is embarrassing to the Presidency at a time when this country could least afford unproven leadership.

One thing we do know. Americans are hurting, and Chuck Schumer could not care!

NOTE: INDYMAC IS THE HOLDER OF ONE OF MY MORTGAGES

So Long Snowman

One of my favorite characters passed away this week as 71 year old Jerry Reed died of emphysema last Sunday.

I became aware of Jerry from his guest star appearances on The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. Then he became legend in one of my all time favorite movies, portraying Cletus Snow (The Snowman) in Smokey and The Bandit. Reed also recorded the theme song, East Bound and Down, which is great interstate traveling music as I hold the hammer down on my Pontiac on I-75.



Reed was an extremely accomplished musician, but is better known for his hilarious antics with sidekick Burt Reynolds in a handful of these great car chase movies of the late '70's.
I could go on for days how funny these guys, along with The Great One, Jackie Gleason, were.

But, Hell I Got To Go!
