One can hardly fail to notice that fresh breaking news tends to dry up about Thursday of each week and doesn’t pick up until Tuesday of the following week. Truly there is nothing newsworthy going on inside the beltway. Congress has been packing it in earlier each week and of course they have only been talking one subject for months: healthcare reform. They did get a Gay and Lesbian Hate Crimes piece of legislation through by stuffing it into a Defense Spending bill. Seems like an odd way to get that through. Oh well, they had to beat the rush hour traffic to the airport.

Nancy of course hangs around longer as she has no life and doesn’t plan to quit pushing until we don’t have one either. That and the fact that we are footing the bill for her to have her own private jet makes travel less inconvenient for her. I don’t even think Harry goes home anymore. His popularity is so low he just hangs around Washington picking out drapes for his new Whitehouse office. You know; the office he will get when he loses his bid for reelection in Nevada. Surely Barry has something for him.

If you channel surf and weave your way through the web you might find some fun blogs and editorials but nothing new from the MSM or Administration. BO did declare H1N1 a national emergency Friday night. I guess the spat with Fox News and the US Chamber of Commerce weren’t giving him the kind of diversion he needs. It appears that we don’t have enough vaccine because there is a shortage of “eggs” to produce the vaccine. Excuse me. These are the people who want to run my healthcare. They can’t even get my eggs right.

You can’t escape the continual bad news out of the Mideast. It seems that unlike our politicians, terror never takes a day off. Even Iran has had a terror attack. What up wit dat. They fund and support terrorists. They give them weapons and ammo. They aren’t supposed to be the subject of terror. It must have made them feel so much better to see the attacks renewed in Iraq and Israel. By the way, Iran decided they may need more time to agree to the agreement that they already agreed upon with us. So again. No real news out of Iran.

So if there is no real news why do I have this constant nagging feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Oh yeah. It’s that hope and change guy!

MattI believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.

    Welcome to the site Ken! I like the idea that they can’t get your eggs right. Of course, you wont get bacon either, all the pork will stay in Washington!

      Thanks Matt. It is good to be here.

    Yes, let me welcome you onboard as well. Good first article and I totally understand what you are saying. It is like when I am on the computer and my 9 1/2 month old is crawling around on the floor. As soon as it gets quiet, I immediately wonder what she is up to. It is a warning sign for babies and toddlers and also for politicians.

    Here’s something newsworthy: Obama cut himself shaving and bled to death.

    Well…it would be newsworthy, anyhow.

    Welcome, Ken. One of these days I’ll get around to posting myself, that is if get around to writing anything of substance again.

      Dr. Dave, Thanks for the welcome. Do write something.

    I think he is to busy playing basketball with his staff. Heaven forbid they should do something about Afghanistan.

      Trestin,
      Actually, He has only missed a couple of Sundays of golf. I like to play but the only way I would have the course to myself is to sneak on and play in the dark.
