Irregular Blogging

There have been several things I've been wanting to blog about in recent weeks. Topics include the wacko Venezuelan president, the wacko former US President Clinton, weekends with my woman, and weekends with my girls. There have been political hot topics such as how to treat captured enemy combatants, racism and who is allowed to get away with it, and the campaign season. Also, TV season has started into high gear and there are many new shows I've been checking out. I'm going to try to consolidate this post a bit and cover as much as I can.

Wacko Presidents: Even some liberals call the Venezuelan president "nuts". This guy thinks it's ok to come on to our soil and call our president the devil. He thinks his little oil is a cause of concern for the US and that we will bow to his whims if he threatens cutting it off. My reaction is that after the elections, we just shut his country down financially. It's not hard to do and will show him who he should be falling in line with. Dictators rarely can run a country properly and this guy has to go. Our own wacko former president Clinton showed just how off his rocker he is by getting upset and defensive while retorting with lies to a guy who was just asking questions as a journalist. Clinton still thinks that people are out to get him when in fact we just want to hear the truth once out of this guy's mouth. You would think that a guy who was the leader of the free world for 8 years would know better how to respond to a simple Sunday morning interview. Just more proof that he and his family need to be put into private life and work to understand how real people live.

My woman is just fantastic! Yes, I can call her mine and she can call me hers. She's a great cook, homemaker, mother, friend, and just plain awesome. Our last visit consisted of a lazy weekend that was just the ultimate in comfortable and fun. She cooked 3 great meals. We watched a couple of movies. We even took a nap one afternoon! It was just proof that we can really have a great time doing nothing! I loved that weekend and so did she.

My girls are enjoying school and doing great. I'm already in Christmas gift mode, too. They are a joy to spend time with. They both tell me stories about what they and their friends are doing at school. The oldest is hoping to get involved with Volleyball again this year. The youngest missed a cheerleader camp, but is already looking ahead to being involved next year. They are both reading a lot and really excelling in their studies.

Political Events: Senator George Allen is not a racist. Ask anyone who has known him. In over 20 years of service to his fine state, this is the first time anyone has tried to make this claim. It's making his opposition look foolish. Has anyone questioned Senator Byrd to see if he was ever involved in any lynching or cross burning? Has anyone made him out to be a racist for his use of the N-word on Meet The Press a while back? Does it seem weird that Democrats can come out with programs designed to stigmatize race and not be called racist? Why does race matter to anyone after all this time? It's just simple skin color. It doesn't matter.

Enemies of our country have already been defined and our Supreme Court botched up a recent ruling. If you signed on to the Geneva Conventions, you have to abide by them in any conflict with someone else who has signed them. If your enemy has not signed them, such as our enemies in the war on terror, the Geneva Conventions do not apply. The Supreme Court disagrees but they are flatly wrong and this ruling will eventually change by a future Supreme Court. Your enemy, as stated in a previous post, sets the rules of engagement. Our enemy beheads civilians and soldiers on camera. Should we do the same? Not exactly, but they have shown that they want combat with no rules. We should take them out without tying the hands of our soldiers. We should not be afraid of striking first. We should do what it takes to take out the enemy quickly and easily. If we accidentally get someone else in the process, so be it. Quit being afraid of bad press and take this conflict to the terrorists.

It's almost election time for the midterms. There were so many articles about the Democrats taking control of both houses a while back, but that seems to have been grossly inaccurate as the recent findings point to a lot of exaggeration before. There is no way that the Democrats will be in control of either house and it's foolish to think so. The American people are much smarter than that and they know what it takes to make a country great. That formula is freedom for the people. Give us our money back, keep the enemy off our soil, and stay as far out of our lives as possible. This has been the goal of most Republicans and they will maintain control. The economy is rolling right along with low unemployment, falling gas prices, and people are keeping more of their money due to lower taxes. My prediction is that control of the houses stays the same and I hope you keep it that way now and in the future by voting conservative and voting for freedom.

TV Season: Familiar favorites are off and running with Smallville, Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer, Criminal Minds, the 3 CSI shows, Bones, and various sitcoms. New shows have shown promise in Heroes, Justice, and sitcoms like Til Death and The Class. I tried watching Vanished, but couldn't sit through the entire first episode without realizing this show would be vanishing soon, too. I've enjoyed Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Funny stuff without lowering his rock n roll status. Ultimate Fighter The Comeback has been fun to watch as well as the WWE/ECW and TNA wrestling shows. There are others I'm looking forward to like Friday Night Lights and 30 Rock. I hope to have more commentary on some of these shows within the week.
