Stimulus Package – The Real Story

For those reading this on Facebook, you can see the video on my blog at GJX Daily.
Thanks to Giana for posting this YouTube link showing the true story of “O-Bum-O-Gate”.
And here I thought he was just one of the guys…

Drudge is gleefully rolling in the mud with this one.
O-bum-a-gate:

You always know where you stand with a liberal, whether it’s Clinton or Obuma. A conservative will tell you how disgraceful this is while offering candy to [...]

Sarah Palin Resigning As Alaska Governor

Don’t know why she’s resigning yet, perhaps it’s because of hubbie’s affiliation with a political party that’s sole purpose for existing was to support secession for Alaska. Or maybe she’s still deluded enough to think she actually has a chance of making a serious run for presidency.

More Todd Snider

Yet another Todd Snider gem from his latest album, The Excitement Factor:
“..the number one symptom of heart disease is sudden death. It’s like time stands still forever until it starts shaking around on you, shaking around, like some crazy old hooker on meth.”

Robert Earl Keen

My biggest enjoyment these days is live music. It doesn’t matter if it’s jazz, blues, rock, or “americana” – I love good live music.

Ryan’s Ashes

We all process these opinions through our own lenses and filters, based on our personal experiences. To some of us they’re life-savers, to others, life-takers. I’m able to offer a unique [...]

Sleeping Way Too Much

I can’t get enough sleep lately. I’ve taken naps each of the last 3 days for 3 to 4 hours each, yet I’m still exhausted. I haven’t slept that much for years. It’s not depression, I feel pretty good otherwise. I’m not looking forward to staying awake at work this week.
