Is there a better way to spend a Sunday, a Father’s Day, than at the ballpark and the home team wins?
Granderson and Kelley warming up.
Marcus Thames, “Country Strong” as Rod calls it. Had one almost go out in the game, but got caught at the fence.
Verlander warming up before the game.
Inge up to bat.
He swings
He trots home after a three run shot over the fence.
Rodney comes in to close the 9th, I start sweating for no reason, its an easy 1,2, 3 inning.
Obama’s White House staff will announce today new measures on overseeing the market and give the Federal Reserve more powers in governing finance.
Dave Letterman apoligized again, this time a bit more sincere for his crude joke last week. Unfortunately he still thinks that the joke was appropriate for an 18 year old girl.
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Have you put your flag out yet today? Today is Flag Day, here are some facts about the flag and the origin of it having its own day.
Although the President has been slapped around a bit by his own party lately in regards to closing Gitmo, Obama suffered his first major political defeat with the announcement of the government dropping its executive pay scale attack.

April 15th, 2009 5:03 pm Barack Obama, through his spokesman, claimed today that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the MSM has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best)… but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really? This much. - He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America . - He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist. - He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005. - He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally. - He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya . - He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill. - He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal. - He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat. - He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat. - He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat. - He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat. - He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants. |
It was a busy weekend around here, but picked up bits and pieces from the news so here are some thoughts on what was going on.
The president thinks its a good idea for Iran to have nuclear power. Really? (A) Seriously what does go through his mine during these decisions?
(B) If its so good for them to have it, why are we wasting our time with wind mills that don’t work?
Obama wants Hamas involved with the “Palestine Solution”. That’s a win win for all sides.
Is there anyone else who paid attention during history class who sees Obama as a modern day Neville Chamberlain? Be careful not to tick off our enemies, but stab our friends in their backs. Guess that would make Israel the modern day Czechoslovachia, and the settlements today’s version of the Sudetenland.
Guess the lil’ escape to China did not take the heat of Nancy Pelosi, she is still going down for her statements about the CIA.
More Pelosi, guess who is polling higher in popularity than her? The answer would be…..Dick Cheney.
My new John Deere says you can’t put more than 10% ethenol in its tank, sorry Iowa.
More on ethenol, have you seen the commercials where they add nitrogen cleaners to the gasoline to protect your engines from poor grade fuels? ITS BECAUSE OF THE ETHENOL FOLKS.
The 25% add tax. Its one of those sneaky taxes you do not see, but its already been figured into the price of an item. Its a national sales tax to make us pay for national health care, for an example you buy a 24+K car, before you even add in all the state sales taxes, registration fees, license fees, the new price for that car is now over $30,000. Then the state gets to tax you at the 30 grand price.
Its bad enough that they tax you on the sticker price now, not what you actually paid for the vehicle.
Joe Biden says we need to ramp up the spending from the stimulus bill. They already promised us that the unemployment numbers would not go above 8% if the bill was passed. So they voted without reading, signed in a hurry, and now unemployment is already at 9.4% nationally, and over 12% here in Michigan.
The government guy running GM is in his early 30’s and basically got the job because he is a party hack. Never worked a day in his life unless you could running Hillary’s campaign into the ground and jumping over to Obama’s side when her ship was sinking. Never mind that he has absolutely no car experience, he has no business training either. GREAT CHOICE.
Seven more auto plants are closing in Michigan. Look you might not be able to get anything changed politically until the 2010 elections, but you can send a message to White House now, buy a FORD.
One of the architects of the bank bailout, Ben Bernake says we cannot keep up deficit spending without ruining our economy. Wonder if the President heard that while touring Europe this weekend for the D-Day memorials.
Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a little stroll in town one afternoon enjoying the sunshine. As they walked, they come across a sign:
”Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.”
“I am entering!” said Snow White..
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, “Well, how’d ya do?”
”I won First Place !,” said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see another sign:
”Contest for the strongest man in the world.”
”I’m entering,” says Superman.
After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, “How did you make out?”
”I won First Place too,” answers Superman.. “Did you ever have a doubt?”
They continue walking when they see a third sign:
”Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?” Pinocchio quickly enters the contest.
After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes.
”What happened?” they asked.
”Who the heck is Nancy Pelosi?” asked Pinocchio.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., promised $3.8 million to preserve and redevelop part of old Tiger Stadium to help revitalize a distressed area of Detroit.
Actually that number seems to be the low ball account of the money that was set aside from the HUGE pork laden spending bill rushed through congress without anyone reading it, then signed by the spender himself, President Obama.
Now that the old section of Tiger Stadium still left standing is set for demolition (just announced this week), where does the reported 3.8 to 4.2 million go? Does it not get spent? Does it go to repay the debt created by the spending bill? Or does it go into some slush fund to perpetuate the “Green Myth”?
