Following the Saint
Friday morning we shut down the house and headed to LAX. Despite a disorganized boarding queueing procedure from Air Canada, the actual flight was not full and we ended up with an empty seat next to us. However, the flight was delayed for about a half hour due to a “maintenance procedure” that prolonged our […]
Visiting the King of Shores
I posted a bit ago about how we’d gone back to Shaw’s Cove for the first time in five years. Part of that was because we’d visited La Jolla Shores on one day down and back trips in 2020 and 2021. Then no swimming at all anywhere in 2022 or 2023. So while it had […]
Getting it right
A month ago we returned to Shaw’s Cove after a 5 year drought to find out that we’d been snorkeling to the wrong side all along. A few coves south lay the Laguna Beach Marine Life Refuge, where most of the juvenile leopard sharks learn to drive. Last time all our friends cancelled on us, […]
Yikes. Kinda brings it all into perspective, don’t it?
This just in: Today (3-14) Congress (PBUT) has declared that “the budget” will henseforth be named “The Pi”. Seeing that Pi is a neverending number, this will save a lot of time writing out all those meaningless digits and Democrats will have more time to concentrate on more meaningfull things like calling Rush L. “fatty” and a “big doo-doo head”. When asked about this, Einstein (happy birthday Albert!) replied “I’ve just gotten used to the largest number in the universe being called “The Stimulus !”. Milk and cookies for everyone.
not to be confused with the first stimulus… which was under Bush.. When he does it it is okay.
“Support for the stimulus package is dropping from narrow majority support to below that. There is no sense that the stimulus package itself will work quickly, and according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, close to 60% said it would make only a marginal difference in the next two to four years. Rasmussen data shows that people now actually oppose Mr. Obama’s budget, 46% to 41%. Three-quarters take this position because it will lead to too much spending. And by 2-to-1, voters reject House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s call for a second stimulus package.”

Wow, what an asshole that Obama guy is… He should take a hint from the Bush administration and listen loud and clear to all the public opinion polls.
He should stop being the most secretive president in history too, and actually tell people why he is doing this – maybe on some sort of weekly video like Bush did.
oh…wait…
You are worse that Hitler!
Overspending is overspending regardless of who does it. Of course, we look at the deficit and say to ourselves, “This is terrible.” But how many people took their stimulus checks and sent it back to the government because they thought it was a bad idea?
