Mud Fighting

It’s not always easy to tell from what the Gleaner writes where he stands, but it is clear from this post that he doesn’t think very highly of Mr Gibson.  Personaly I’m not very happy to see Democrats slinging mud at each other, The Republicans will scoop up the same mud and use it in November no mater which one of them gets the nomination.

Economics?

GW seems to think that an increase in corporate profits (and thus the compensation of all his CEO friends) compensates for the huge deficits his administration has been running.   Well that just ain’t so!The whole bases of the GDP is meaningless.  The true measure of the economic condition of the nation is the standard of living of the mass of the people.  There is no measure that gives us that information.  The only thing that comes close is the income gap between the top 5% and the rest of the population, and that gap has continued to grow and

Lieberman’s Disappointment

Actually it’s not his disappointment, it is that of the Democratic Party.  His decision today to not support his primary opponent should he win confirms what I have suspected for some time about “good-old Joe.”  He’s not really a Democrat at all, he’s just “Joe” and all that’s important to him is himself.  I hate saying that about Senator Lieberman, but his positions on so many issues recently make him look more and more like a Republican.

TRUST ME!

Bush:  ”…the government does not listen to domestic phone calls without court approval.”  TRUST ME!George W. Bush: “…the privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities.” TRUST ME!George W. Bush: “…We’re not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans.”   TRUST ME! George W.

Update on activities

Have been spending my time on the personal website (RussPerry.com) experimenting with new software. Have finally gotten the hang of it and will be moving the entire site to the new software.That site, like all my sites, gets very little traffic, but then who cares. I don’t do this for popularity, but since I have all my time available to do as I wish this is what I wish.Meanwhile, the world seems to be going to hell in a hand basket, and who but “We the People” are to blame for that? At least in this country.

FireFox

Through WordPress I have re-discovered FireFox. I’ve loaded it and am trying it and must say it has been improved since my last investigation of it some years ago. I do have a few problems with some of my sites displaying properly. Would be nice if there were more standards and adherence to them by all browsers.

Jolt

I woke up this morning as the result of a dream. It wasn’t a bad dream, but the ending shocked me into wakefulness.There had been an auto accident and a young man had died and “someone” in the dream made the comment:“He was just another solider”The anger, the rise in blood pressure and adrenaline from my reaction to that was enough to pop my eyes open, wide awake.What causes dreams is a real mystery. Maybe it and my response has something to do with reading “The Rainmaker”, maybe has something to do with New Orleans.

Katrina

My thoughts and emotions on this subject are so great that I can hardly contain them and have a great deal of difficulty expressing them. But the President’s speech demands some comment.It was a good speech. He has a good speechwriter.
