The mulling is over so let's hit the ground.

So, the Supremes made their big pronouncement. Then, let’s move on. It’s now time to get Congress back into shape. Drag them out of their tribal cave and back into fresh air. Back to sanity and meaningful legislation.

You wouldn't marry someone who is already married, would you?

How long are we going to ignore this issue? Do we want a Congress beholding to the corporation’s narrow interests? Interests seeking more tax cuts, fewer regulations, free to pollute, ramping up more predatory lending, banks teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, putting the tax burden on the middle class, free to spend any amount of money to buy a Congressman or woman, and all not beholding to government or anyone. Totally in the shadows with no transparency. Just do as they please.

Or do you want a Congress working for the voters. Giving allegiance to their local constituency and creating legislation beneficial to the American people. Job creation, providing health benefit, support for quality education, more teachers, more police and fire responders, and providing a safe and secure land of natural beauty and resourceful promise. Pretty much how our fore fathers wanted it. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. Possibly even Reagan, Kennedy, and Eisenhower. All wanting the best for America.

When left unregulated, corporations have only one interest. Profit, share holders, and make it as cheap as you can. Sending jobs overseas to low wage countries, while taking good jobs from Americans.

So, it’s yours and my decision. Keep the current congress. A congress like a monkey on a string. And the corporations are holding the strings.

Or vote for only those candidates who have the best interest of America in mind. Loyal only to voters in your district or state. True Americans. Pledging to resist big corporate money and work only for the people who elected them.

It’s your decision. A responsible congress or a congress lured by deep pocketed lobbyists and robber barons.

Will Rogers Says,
We are a people that don't stay with one thing very long. We stayed with the Republicans longer than we ever did with anybody else, but that taught us a lesson, and we will see that that don't happen again . - Sept. 16, 1934 Quote provided by the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in Claremore. Quote excerpted from Will Rogers' published works. Read more about Will Rogers, Oklahoma's favorite son.

Saturday morning came to a halt because of a one dollar part.

Saturday morning clothe washing:

Loaded in my dirty clothes. Filled the detergent tray. Shut the front loading door. Hmm? Something wrong. Door will not latch. Washer will not run without latching. Maybe a sock stuck in the door jam. Hmm. Nope. Looked all around the door and door facing.
Ah Haa! Here it is. Tiny plastic latch hook broke. Latch hook broke. Possibly a one dollar item. A one dollar item that makes or brakes a washer.
Why would a self respecting manufacturer make a plastic latch that would prevent the entire front loading washer from working if part is broke. What happened to metal parts. A metal part here would only increase the part price by another dollar. A two dollar metal part. Especially a part that is so needed and vulnerable to slamming and abuse. But no. The part is plastic. How stupid.

It’s like launching a space shuttle dependent on a internal switch powered by a rubber band. Then if the one cent rubber band brakes then, the whole flight is scrubbed.

Washer machine engineers certainly must be smarter than that. Right? Well, I guess not. Why bother with metal when plastic is so readily available. Love that plastic. It’s American way of making things.

Now the whole thing is inoperable. A hundred pounds of scrap. In its present form a pile of junk waiting for the crusher. Kaa-scrunk! Worth more as scrap metal than in its present stage of disrepair. Just a convenient surface to pile dog food and laundry detergent upon.

In the mean time all my dirty clothes are in the front loading tumbler soaked with liquid detergent. Dirty and not possible to wear. What to do?

So, not only are iPhones programmatic, but so are poorly engineered front loading washers as well. Where’s my hammer?

Hurry, hurry, hurry! See the committee chairman lie like a rug.

Darrell Issa should be held in contempt of America. Failing to to honor the constitutional sworn will of the House of Representatives. Turning his House position into a Circus ring master and bellowing like a side show barker. Saying untruths while hiding his intent. His intent? To distort, demean, dishonor, and bring down the American government. An anti-American sold out to big money interests. Interests attempting to embezzle all American’s money. Pollute the entire Earth. De-regulate banking and Wall Street so consumers have no recourse or rights. Hold America hostage so banking and energy drains all capital into an offshore bank. Need I say more?

So the only way to get this done is bring down Obama. Fire the Attorney General and weaken all regulatory agencies and then take control of yours and my money.

Does it sound like I am angry? Yes! I am. I use to think there were some redeeming values in the Republican party but after about two years after the 2010 election, I see NO redeeming values in the RNC at all. John Boehner is a certified prevaricator. Darrell Issa is the Anti-Reagan. Mit Romney is a blathering idiot and most clueless. Just look for yourself. Jug heads all of them.

Who are these freaking men working against America?

How many times does it need to be said, George W Bush started this phony Mexican gun smuggling trick. It was he,GWB, who set up the guns smuggling to the drug cartel mobs which back fired on them. Killing a US border patrol agent as a result.

Eric Holder had nothing to do with it and it is proven beyond a doubt. The Darrell Issa circus is just another feeble attempt to discredit and embarrass the President. It is oh so clear. Now this circus has turned into an ugly freak show. The freaks? Darrell Issa, John Boehner, and Senator Chuck Grassley. All freaking freaks. Ugly demented men whose only intent is to thwart the Obama Administration. I personally feel they are all racists. Just drooling jackals on steroids.

To qualify for president all you need is all the world's money.

It’s oh so obvious what Mit Romney wants. However, it is mystifying to know how many people believe his shallow, meaningless rhetoric. People not taking the time to examine his vacuous proposals. Empty words tossed out as if this is all he needs to do. “This is it. Believe me or the world will go to hell if you don’t. I’m right. Obama is wrong and bad for us all.”

Oh? Please explained Mr. Romney. Well, no explanation is offered. I “I have all the money so I must be right. Right?”

What has the House been smoking?

One could only shake a head in complete bafflement, when considering Congress. What congress does or doesn’t do. More like what congress ignores and fails to do. None the less, they act as if they are the creators and takers away of life. Performing in public as if a huge body of Roman Caesars often giving the thumbs down on many proposals that would benefit Americans. Completely ignoring the will of the American public.

Never the less, all of them wrapped in a colorful bunting of self-righteousness. Shouting platitudes and empty slogans. “Jobs-jobs-jobs. Obama is bad for our country. We will never pass any of his legislation.”

Never mind what America wants. Jobs, health care, clean environment, quality education, roads, public transportation, high speed rail, etc. And a safe secure place to live.



In the mean time congress is moralizing in a mirror and smoke filled room of partisan alchemy. The wizards of Ego. All naked and exposed. Wearing the Emperor’s clothes. Charlatans all of them. Spineless political groupies. Never seen alone but huddled in dark rooms of secrets and conspiracy. All acting on behalf of billionaire sugar daddies. Bought and paid for.

It’s absolutely absurd to hear stories about Roger Clemons accused of lying before congress. Especially when congress lies to America every day.

Likewise, to think Attorney General Eric Holder might be held in contempt of Congress. Congress has be in contempt of America for decades. Every day. Twenty-four/seven. Day in. Day out. Blather ring, bloviating, road blocking, and killing good legislation. All should be charged with murder in the First Degree. Charged for murdering good bills and regulations. Hypocrites all of them. Take’em Danno. Take’em to the slammer!

We've only just begun to live.

My Commencement address.

Graduates of the class of 2012, forget what you learned these past four years. Instead you should start reading about what you normally have little interest in. Read the newspaper. Read books other than text books. Read biographies, autobiographies, counter culture magazines, or anything that might challenge your values and beliefs. Know what others are thinking. Know what others are saying or writing.

If your degree centers around computing and mathematic then, find a biography of Walt Disney or Charles Shultz. If your degree is in medicine then, read how the Cuban revolution came about. If you were a history or English major then, read about professional sports or ballet. If you are received your degree in engineering or architecture then, you might want to study creative writing or studying the classic philosophers.

Do or read anything outside your comfort zone. Start keeping and writing in a daily diary. Express yourself in writing. Study new words. Study word and thought found away from your major or study discipline.

Again, know what others are thinking and saying. Try to understand what others are reading. Help them to understand your way of thinking. Round yourself out. Be confident in talking with others who disagree with you. Help others understand who or what you are. Communicate. Share yourself. Try to encourage others to explain themselves as well.

Join Toastmasters. Join discussion groups. Exchange ideas. Write. Express. And understand who you are. What do you believe? What is your philosophy of life. Give, take, and understand the world you live in.

Then my friends, you will have a greater chance for success. Doors will open. Opportunity will be there in front of you. All because you have an understanding of who you are and what the world is all about.

Life is more than a spread sheet. Life is more than internal medicine. Life is more than structural stress calculations. Life is more than conjugating a verb.

Life is bigger than all of us combined. So prepare yourself for a lifelong learning and reading process. Your learning has just begun. Read, write, and ask questions. Go get’em boys and girls.

Romney, the corporate mistress.

The only way I can describe Mit Romney is, he is a political prostitute. A “Call Boy. Beholding to special wanting interests paid for by large sums of unexplained cash. Romney promising to perform his political tricks for the exchange of hush money from mysterious corporate sources. Oh yes, his Pimp? Who else but the RNC.

Working with Romney is a stable of painted concubines. Republicans in the House of congress represent the largest whore house in America. Congressmen and women bound to perform their immoral acts funded by large unaccounted wads of lobby money. Just capitol hill street walkers. Bound to and beholding to the corporate sugar daddies.

Romney and Congress’s motto? “Come up and see me sometime Bubba.”
