Vacation Time
So I was listing to the radio today and the news was that Nancy Pelosi voted to recess congress. It seams the she recess the house so that the republicans can't force a vote on the energy crisis
Now I find this telling. The subject comes up and Pelosi can not avoid it like she has been doing, because it is growing across the country the idea or felling that domestic drilling need to be done, and more people even in her state of California.
So she has said lately that she is trying to save the planet. That is finding but I thought that she was elected to do the will of her electric. I thought the term was public servant. Now she has had some justification in being again drilling because California is against but they are changing their mind, so shouldn't she. Or don’t the people no longer matter once the elected office reaches high enough office?
I think that it is showing the elitist view that Washington has, and this goes for both sides of the isles.
The republicans are jumping on this because it is becoming a defining issue and they have less to lose. So their pushing has not as much clot as it should, but at least they are doing something.
Democrats want us to be greener, regardless of the consequences, so they are not going to do anything to put more oil in the market, and I agree that oil is not the long term, but we need it now because we are so depended on it. Unless you want to see our economy completely collapses.
This may be what they want, thinking that it could be rebuild in their vision.
Of course to rebuild us after a crash it would take the kind of hard work they wouldn't know how to inspire, but I digress.
So any what this should the democratic line, we wont fight about an issue, if we can't ignore it we will run from it?
This is why I can't vote for a democrat, even if I may agree with them at a local level; the national party squashes anything that is not the main line. Which I could not disagree with them more.
Case in point, Joe Lieberman, voted 98% of the time with the party but for the war, because of this they primaries him out, to get ride of him.
Think about that next time you have to fill up; the democrats needed their vacation more than they need to deal with the energy issue, or that it is more important to look good in front of the rest of the world, or maybe look the same as the rest of the world than to deal with the situation.

NPR's take on high prices
SO listing to NPR the other night I was surprised by the gust they had on.
He was talking about how it was a good thing that the prices for everything are going up, because that would mean that everyone’s income would go up. He justifies this by using the example of the cost of living increased that most people get every year. He stated that although everything is going up, it our buying power would not change because our incomes would increase as well.
My response would be to remind him that everyone’s income already was raised about a year ago when congress raised the minimum wage. This affected everyone’s income, not just the ones making minimum wage.
So at that time most people got the adjustment he is referring to, really our buying power is going to decrease for a while. Of course that’s just what I see.
No-one wants to talk about the effect of raising the minimum wage.
I saw the effect of it because I work currently for minimum wage and tips, but it caused the price change to our pizzas, because the stores labor costs when up.
O well I guess because it make the liberal feel better that they raised the wage fro millions of Americas, they don’t really care affect it has. Then NPR will defend it.

Is Michelle really proud?
So on the way home tonight I was listing to the radio and the topic was about Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain.
The host is a real Obama supporter and I don’t think that there is anything the Obamas’ could do that he would not excuse.
Anyway he was talking about he comment that Michelle had said about her not being really proud about America and was giving the excuses for it, and ho Cindy doesn’t have a right to say anything about it because she had a different experience than a black person would have had growing up.
His basic premise is that because there are black people that experienced the racism against them that a black person could have ill feeling.
Ok to be fair I’m not saying that everyone should be forced to have great feelings, but if you have hard feeling towards that country why are you supporting you husband in running for the top job. I know to make it better. By telling white folk that they really screwed it up and it will take a black man to make it better? That’s really color blind.
Anyway the host keep jumping back to that Michelle was totally justified in having hard feeling toward the us because of it’s racism past.
I just have a few questions.
How long do was have to pay for our racism past?
No one I know or was related to has owned a slave or asked a black man to got to the back of the bus.
If you really are only proud of the country now, why would you run for the top job?
And please don’t try and tell me that Brack is running not Michelle, If he is running, she is running because of how she has put herself in the front lines. I mean how much effort you are going to put into something that you have hard felling about.
I also know that I do share most of the feeling and thoughts of my wife. The ones we truly differed from we have mostly come to common ground, and we have only been married seven years.
One last thing, Cindy may have brought it up in an interview today, but then again so did Michelle on the View. So it’s not just he vast right wing conspiracy talking about it.

New ad for Prius
So I was in line on Saturday to get gas, and I was cut off by a little Prius.
Now I will give them the benefit of a doubt and say they didn't see me, I mean how could you see a Ford Explorer, it’s so unobtrusive.
But it made me thing of the new advertisement for the Toyota Prius.
Friendly to the earth,
Screw everyone else.
I think it goes right along with the environmentalists’ mindset.
Don't you think?

Managers
Ok I have to say this, I was talking to my mom a few weeks ago. I was frustrated and expressed that I don’t felt that you make your breaks by working hard and that it really is just a matter of being born under the star or in the right place. I have worked longer and harder than most of the people I grew up with and an have not gotten as far as they have.
Well it was proven right, later that week I go to work and one of the other kids get promoted to manager. Now I am a driver, and here I am not required to learn or really do anything else, but I have learned the rest of the jobs and there isn’t anything I can’t do here. The kid that got moved up, really still after about a year had to still be ridden to get his jobs done, and now he struts around and will tell anyone that will listen that he is in charge.
Now he doesn’t ask me a lot of his job, but when there is a problem he expects others to solve them and then it doesn’t get solved.
Yup, show incentive and hoard working and someone else will get promoted beyond you.
This has happened to me several times. I guess there is something wrong with me. I guess I shouldn’t spend so much time learning and doing my job and start kissing more ass.
I just can’t stand the taste.
And nope you can’t come to my pity party.

McCain and Obama
It does seam that Senator Obama is going to get the nomination. There are things that Senator Clinton is going to use to try to use with the super delegates, but that would destroy the party. Now I would love to see this, but it’s not going to happen.
But I just want someone to ask the question of Senator Obama. You say that you will be able to work across the isle and work with republicans. How can you back this up? And while this question is asked, will they point out that Senator McCain has a history of working with Democrats, much to the stress of many Republicans.
So there are many that Senator Obamas lack of experience is a plus, but then how are we to know what kind of leader he is going to be. Well, I would suggest by looking at his friends and business dealings.
Just wondering.
