Turning of a new leaf!

With all of the bad news in the world it is time to lighten it up!

Britney and K-Fed are history and the prenup will keep BS's fortune intact so momma can spend it in Louisiana (good for the local economy, the only folks with that kind of money here are in organized crime. Time to spread it around and bring up those less fortunate.)

VH1 Classic actually plays videos in the morning. Remember when Music Television played music? It is pretty cool, they run some classics from the likes of Genesis, Pat Benetar and Styx.

Forgive me for not being up to speed on the Oscar chase but I will have to dedicate more time to Hollywood in the near future or risk irrelevance. I have noticed that just a couple of weeks ago all things Hollywood started being rosey and red again what with the booming economy that started on the first Tuesday of this month. What a phenomenon huh?

This issue is just a tease, more entertainment news will be coming in the near future, I just need to do more homework on the topic. I am planning a mini-biography of Barbara Walters and Katie Couric along with the other greats of the industry! Folks it will be stunning!

I would like to see a grass-roots campaign kick off to get a lot less coverage of that “situation” in Afghanistan(sp?) and the illegal war in Iraq on the networks. There is just too much bad news.

The world just needs to relax and watch more TV and celebrate living legends like Barbra Streisand!

That's a WRAP! I'll call ya, we'll do lunch! CHAO!

Introspection time.

I am likely to lay low for a while as I undergo some philosophical changes. I need to come to grips with the concept that self-reliance is NOT really the answer.

I supported George W. Bush in the past two elections and all that has happened is people have become unhappy and have told me how wrong I was to steadfastly support the War on Terrorism and Bush's illegal war in Iraq.

Perhaps it is time to reconcile with what I have long thought was the wrong way and try to understand that philosophy.

I have decided that while I may never fully understand moderates I should try to be one because it is obviously the “will of the people” that moderation and cooperation take the place of partisanship.

I will research great moderates in history and read what they read, understand the great moderate revolutionaries that obviously have guided America without my notice for so many years.

I admit freely that my old philosophy was of a libertarian bent but now I freely admit that being a conservative is just not popular anymore and I no longer wish to be thought of as someone who judges the motives of others. Perhaps people should just live as they choose and let the chips fall where they may?

The time has come for me to close for now. Perhaps the future will show me the errors of my ways and cause me to rethink my was of the past.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to the Democrats and everyone that wants to raise taxes, surrender to Islam and put small business out of business.

You deserve your collective moment in the sun. I say collective because you are going to ideas that came right from the Communist Manifesto in the coming year.

Raise the minimum wage. Great, small business will have to cut their staffs since government doesn't pay them to hire YOU. Many will not be able to support a major increase but it is the will of the people!

Iraq? Let's start sending the troop transports there now. Bring 'em home. Surrender is the word of the day, Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry have not the stomach to be at odds with Islam. They will “open a dialog” much like the one in Paris before leaving Vietnam! Remember that stunning negotiation?

The conservatives did not get together and act conservative so the left had their day yesterday. I hope those of you that supported this revolution work for a large corporation and live in subsidized housing because Dems want to see you live close to the big cities, this will shorten commutes and slow global warming.

Rumsfeld resigned today, the first head has come off. Pelosi and friends will be looking for more, the first one was easy enough let's get some!

I hope everyone gets just what they want because if you make enough money to actually pay federal income tax you bill is going to GO UP NEXT YEAR! You will lose the tax cuts of the last five years and there will likely be a raise in taxes!

Charles Rangel has not seen a tax cut “he would keep”! He is sure to be the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and he will control the purse strings. For those that don't know this the House of Representatives controls federal monies!

High times for the liberals today, yuk it up, but watch you tax bill go up and watch for the cavalcade of new entitlements! But they will not tell you where the money will come from I WILL!

I STAND RELIEVED.

I am officially retired from the Navy.
Originally, to mark the occasion, I was going to write
this long summary of the years gone past but I just
thought up something else.

I am watching a video of the Blue Angels. There
was an occasion in 1988 that I was recommended to the
Blue Angels for selection as a communicator with their
traveling staff.

I hear reports about the “poor folks in the War
on Terror”, I understand what THEY are feeling. They
want to win. They signed up to DO THAT! They do feel
the same pride I do. They want very much to defeat
the enemy and come home but make no mistake, they
want it to end WHEN they defeat the enemy not before.

I heard a lady at work today asking someone with
her “how do those people do it aver there?” The other
lady said that she didn't know but she had a relative
over there that just signed up to go back. Yep, that
will do it, I thought to myself and walked by and
didn't say a word.

My time in the Navy was amazing.
I met the best and worst of people. Depending on the
situation, they were one and the same.

I feel an immense swelling of pride when the flag
goes by and people still stand and take off their hat.
I get very embarrassed when someone makes a big deal
out of my “status”. I am confident that America has
what she needs in her fighting forces. There are
people that still “believe” in America. That allows
many others the freedom NOT TO!

I served 21 years, two months and so many days.
I loved mostly every minute of it. I am the Navy. I
always will be. Wanda says I bleed Blue and Gold. I
have been called Joe Navy. I always received that as
a compliment. I love the Navy and we have a great
one! It has been my highest honor to serve! I am
among the workforce now and it is going well.

I am never to sail in Naval vessels again but be
sure and know this, I KNOW there will come a day when
I will surely long for the smell of the sea and the
sounds of life at sea. I am a Sailor and always will
be.

I will always look fondly back at those days when
a sailor asked. “hey Chief, how do you do that?

I stand relieved.
