Countdown to the Shutdown - 89 days

Hey, rather than focus on lunacy, let’s celebrate something this country has done right. Our National Parks are a remarkable resource and worth every penny of tax that goes to maintaining them. So go visit one while the government’s still open. And for those of you who believe they’d be better managed by State governments or private enterprise, do a little reading and you’ll realize the Federal government stepped in because States and private enterprise were in the process of turning this continent into a moonscape before conservationists (hey, that word’s from the same root as conservative!) persuaded the Feds to intervene. If you get the chance, do something nice for a Park Ranger, too. They don’t get paid a lot and have recently taken abuse from the likes of Congressmen Neugebauer and Issa. Let me add, there’s a very good novel available on Amazon with a Forest Ranger as a central character. It’s called The Killer Trees. (Shameless of me, I know.) Or if you prefer another news item about the lunatic fringe, check the link below...

Countdown to the next Shutdown - 90 days

Well, time to sit back, breathe easy and wait for the next crisis. It’s during these less stressful times of Congressional inaction and finger-pointing that we can take a few moments to laugh at lunacy that doesn’t imminently threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs or the world economy. Like Karl Rove writing in the Wall Street Journal that the President deliberately tricked House Redumblicans into shutting down the government as part of some Machiavellian scheme to make them look bad. But if you think Karl lives in a fantasy world (don’t forget he was certain Ohio was going for Romney after all the networks had called it for Obama), check out Mick Mulvaney claiming he opposed the compromise legislation because it included funding for the Lord’s Resistance Army. Yes, Mick, you nailed it; the U.S. is sponsoring Joseph Kony’s child soldiers. Oh, wait, that provision was to support U.S. troops assisting in the effort to hunt down Kony. Well, we can’t expect a Congressman to read AND understand legislation, can we? Links below...
