New Baby Name on the Popularity Rise?

I realize I have not blogged in a while and then all of a sudden I do twice in the same day. There are some things I just cannot pass up though.

The first part of this article feigns at the amazement that more babies are not being born now because of the euphoria that was the BO win 40 weeks or so ago.

The last paragraph really amazes me how fast the baby name Barack is moving up the charts. Hmmm...Barack Johnson, Barack Smith, Barack Olson, Barack Larson, Barack Kindseth....oh...maybe not.

FANGles Clinton...bitter?

Bitter might be a word quite undervalued in this situation. Fangles (AKA Hillary) Clinton might be a bit on edge after her husbands trip to North Korea...maybe? Check out the video link where she snaps at a bad translation from a student asking a question at a Congo Q & A session. HA!

Barbara Boxer - Call me Senator

Barbara, you are an over inflated bag of poo. Get over yourself and stop disrespecting the military. It is what these people do that allow you to work hard to be a "Senator". If it was not for our military men and women throughout the years, you would be picking weeds in a back alley in some communist run country praying for a quick demise. Give them the respect they deserve.

Here is the video:

Saving their life wasn't enough...

I need to understand how people think.

A US Airways flight takes off and hits a flock of birds.  The flight crashes into the Hudson river and, because the pilot did everything right, no one was killed.  A miracle! Everyone is happy, the pilot is revered as a hero and all the passengers are saved (save bumps and bruises).

Having my life after an ordeal like that would be something I would be more than exstatic about.  I would hope the people on this flight would be to.  Yes, they lost personal belonings, yes they lost their Blackberry's and iPhones but they have the most important thing...their life.

Obviously that is not good enough.  Some on this flight want more than the $5000 compensation that the airline is offering.  I have a hard time believing I would take any money from the airline.  The crew saved my life in a situation no one on earth could control.  I get to see my wife, my kids, my parents and the rest of my family again.  I have been given another chance...

Sounds like their personal effects are what they are worried about.  Some talk about emotional distress but why should the airline pay for that?  It wasn't like they released a flock of doves in a peace rally at the end of the runway as the plane was taking off.  Nature brought the plane down.

They interviewed one lady on the plane and she says it how I hope to God I would:  

Amber Wells of Charlotte says she's so thankful to have survived and to be with her 9-month-old daughter, Rayley, that she hasn't had time to think about her belongings.

She says she lost $2,000 of nursing equipment and a laptop computer, as well as a checked bag and a carry-on bag.

"Everything that's gone can be replaced," says Wells, 34, a senior manager for NASCAR. "My life cannot be replaced."

Well...read the article.  Hopefully you find it as pathetic as I do.

Blagojevich...it's not only his hair that is crazy...

So is the rest of him.  Blago actually considered Oprah to fill Obama's U.S. Senate seat.   He is quoted in the Fox News article as saying "She seemed to be someone who would help Barack Obama in a significant way become president," he said. "She was obviously someone with a much broader bully pulpit than other senators".

She is A TALK SHOW HOST!  Although she does have as much experience as Obama in the Senate.  That would be...none.

There is also this from the article:  "The governor worried, though, that the appointment of Winfrey might come across as a gimmick and that the talk show host was unlikely to accept."  Gimmick?  Nah...couldn't be a gimmick.  Not for a straight shooter like Blago.

One more hint Mr. Blago might be nuts...he was voted 114-1 to be impeached by lawmakers from Illinois.  These are people on his side of the political fence.

OMG...October 31st...For Real?

I will have to come up with something new for my blog. I am embarrassed how long it has been. Not that anyone reads it but I think it is good for my mental health.
