Football Morning, 24 November 2005
Two of the grandkids spent the night, so we had a boys' room (Johnathon and me), and a girls' room (Marilyn and Sierra). Unfortunately, I slept like crap and woke up with a severe case of the dizzies, and an unexplainable urge to tape Peter Pan for the grandkids while the wife and two are away at church.
One of my oldest friends in the universe has started (or perphaps re-started might be the better term) a blog that he apparently had some time back. He, like I, likes to rant, although he calls it raving. Take a look.

Do you find as you get older that you get increasingly removed from the mainstream political spectrum? I certainly have. For instance, I'm for limiting abortion rights, and I'm for calling abortion what it is: legalized murder of the unborn. I'm for a handgun in every pocket except for convicted felons. Yet I'm for abolishing the death penalty and legalizing drugs (and then taxing drug sales just like we now do alcohol and tobacco). I'm for taxing big business and the obscenely wealthy, free prescription medications for everyone, and a medical care system that actually works. Privatize Social Security? -- not on my watch! I believe our greatest concern should be for the least powerful -- the poor, the elderly, and the young. I'm for social programs if they work (which they seldom do), and for encouraging and empowering people to take care of themselves. I'm against the Democrats, who seem to want everyone to be dependent on the federal government, and the Republicans, who seem to care only about the wealthy and powerful. What we need in the oval office is poor rail-splitter who understands what the other 99% want and need. I want term limits across the board, and I think we should draft people into government service (from the President and congressmen to mayors and aldermen) based on their fitness to serve and distain for power. I want higher pay for teachers, police and firemen, and enlisted military, and minimum wage for corporate bigwigs. I want politicians who don't want the job. Oh yeah, I need more channels in high definition!
Keep the faith.
