After my last downer of a posting I started receiving these "pep" emails from my brother-in-law Earl. The good news is they worked. The first email included an article about the the lack of reliability of polls. The next email included an article about how group influences affect individual behavior and how this may lead to erroneous poll results. The next email included an article suggesting a winning strategy for "you know who." By the third email I was feeling considerably better. The fourth email was the "everything is going to be okay" even if "you know who doesn't win" because we've planned well enough to get us through the rough economic times that are sure to come. Thanks Earl. You'll never know how much your email extravaganza lifted my spirits.
Speaking of the impending doom, better known as the US economy, isn't that Barney Frank something special? Yesterday, when interviewed by one of the business correspondents regarding what's next, his suggestion of what's next is that we need to begin a major government spending program, let our budget deficit fears take a "second seat" for a while, and raise taxes on rich people because they have the money to cover these expenditures. Of course, he doesn't define who the rich people are, but I have a sinking feeling that Dan and I might be considered "rich" by Frank and the rest of the far left Democrats. Of course Barney's suggestion for what's next is right in line with Obama's "spreading the wealth around." All I can say is don't blame me when Obama gets elected president with a filibuster proof Democratic congress. They've been pretty clear regarding their plans for this country. Unfortunately, very few people are actually hearing what they are saying. They're buying the schtick of change and hope. Well we're going to get change alright! Unfortunately it's going to be change that results in small business being crushed by higher taxes, laying off of employees, more and more government intrusion in our personal lives, because after all they're spreading the wealth around. So lock up your guns because they'll be coming for those too. Enjoy talk radio while you can because the fairness doctrine is right around the corner. We opened this door when we started looking to government to solve this economic crisis by passing these numerous bail outs.
And then there's Joe Biden. Isn't he something? I guess a crisis is coming our way within 6 months of Obama taking office. I'm supposed to gird my loins, but I'm not sure how to do that. What does that mean exactly? What happened to hope and change? Loin girding does not sound very hopeful.
