Trickle Down Economics is bad . . .

As spoken on Meet The Press, by Governor Mitch Daniels, R-Indiana:

"The point he is making, on flooding the world with printed money, borrowing unlimited quantities, using it for 'trickle-down government', which is the policy of this administration, is a bad one."

Governor Daniels was supporting the comments made by Governor Rick Perry of Texas, upon calling the current President's policies "treasonous."

Let's check that: George W. Bush spent 6.4 Trillion dollars - he added to the deficit. Obama has added 2.4 Trillion.

That is almost three to one . . . and we wonder why we are in the problem that we are in?

What really happens . . .

What really happens when the lights go out?

I have been wondering about this for some time now and frankly, as my days are numbered (I have fewer days ahead then days that have passed), I wonder what the darkness or silence holds.

One day, I will not awake and one day, I will no longer communicate with those in my life. I worry for them, but I expect that they will continue forward and live good lives.

I am overcome by the fear of that day, and I know that that day nears. I have had 42 years on this marble and I am satisfied with these past years, these past four decades - but I still have much to do, much to accomplish. I hurry to do it, because if I do not, I will not accomplish what I want to accomplish.

I can only wonder if I will have had made a difference in this world, left my mark and not disappear into obscurity. I want to be a part of history for all time. I want to be known as someone that did good in this world and was good at doing good!

I can only think of that moment, when the lights go out, what the nothingness will be . . .

What will happen and will it be as James Kirk, on Viridian III, when the moment arrived and his life slipped away . . . "Oh my . . ."

I am not being morbid, but simply sharing thoughts and feelings for I can not keep them simply in my thoughts. I can not.

Brazil can't finish, USA comes from behind to win and advance!

US Wins!

2-1. Or was 3-0? Well, doesn’t matter really. The final score is Brazil over the U.S. in 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup play in Germany. In the opening minutes, Brazil scored on its own goalie, giving the U.S. an early lead and what would turn out to be its only score. This game, was a genuine clash of the Titans. BREAKING NEWS! Coming from the far side, Rapinoe drives, passes across the field and Wambach slams it home with a head shot! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! 2-2. With seconds left in the final extra frame, the United States musters all in one final attack, out-outnumbered, but not out-done, did not give up and score the tying goal to take this one to penalty shots - to determine the winner and the eventual advance to the semi finals.

First Attempt: the U.S. Boxx is blocked, but in a play reminiscent on a call against Hope Solo, the goalie moved up and out of position is called for the penalty. Boxx scores on second attempt.

Brazil: Goal!

1-1.

Second Attempt: Lloyd. Lloyd went left and Goal! 2-1.

Brazil: Marta Silva is up. Goal! Marta went left and Hope Solo to her left and saw it go to her right.

Third Attempt: Wambach. She goes right and up and GOAL! 3-2.

Brazil: Daiane is up. She goes left and Solo blocks it! 3-2.

Fourth Attempt: Megan Rapinoe. Rapinoe goes left and scores! Goal!

Brazil: Goal!

Fifth Attempt: Krieger. Goal! America Wins! there is hope and that hope is HOPE SOLO!

In a game that seemed to be all but over with seconds to play, the United States turns it around and wins it in penalty shots. Early on, the U.S. woman dominated the entire field and at 68 minutes, Marta scored the first goal for Brazil and would later score another at 92 minutes, just minutes into the first of two fifteen-minute. All the while, the U.S. was down a player from minute 64. The United States did not give in, and Brazil did not go in for the kill. With seconds to play, Rapinoe lifted up a centering pass and Wambach slammed it home to score the tying goal. There is always hope!

As an individual that viewed the entire game, my one enduring comment will be that with all of the missed calls - on both sides, video replay is that much closer. Questionable calls and frustrating non-calls leaves one scratching one’s head or cleaning up liquid from the liquid plasma screen and leaves one wondering why this fine game is littered with so many questionable calls. The ejection of Rachel Bueller is just so unfathomable, that it is just that: unfathomable.

Don’t knock the players. Both teams played as champions. Both played as power teams on a mission. Brazil did not finish well and the United States did. Hope Solo in goal was the on-field leader and lead her team to victory.

Dresden burned in World War Two and now Dresden burns again, along with America, with the fire from the American women!

The opening paragraph was being written with minutes to play and will remain for me as it represents to you my belief that this game was over.

There is always hope. Her name is: Hope Amelia Solo. Siempre Esperanza!

President Obama to address the nation

Coming off the wire, President Obama will address the nation at 7:30 PM PDT.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

Now the cry will be . . .

CNN just did its own homework and investigation . . . here.

The first comment from the "birthers" will be: "CNN is a left-wing, media puppet for the Democrats."

"It's a lie."

"It is a conspiracy."

And, I am sure, a few slurs will be added to the mix. I have heard 'em and the only common denominator is that, these people are full of hate and can't handle the fact that Barack Obama was elected president.

I trust the system and I understand how stuff works. He was born in Hawaii.

I ask the "birthers" to prove to me that he was born in Kenya. Where is YOUR proof?

You have none. Rumor has it that it will rain again, real soon - when it does, just step outside your house and yell at it. Yelling at the rain is just as productive as you crying about the President's birth certificate. Go ahead, yell at the rain.

Andy Pettitte of the New York Yankees

February 3, 2011
YANKEES ANDY PETTITTE TO ANNOUNCE RETIREMENT ON FRIDAY
Pettitte, 38, finishes his career with a 240-138 (.635) record and 3.88 ERA (3,055.1 IP, 1,317 ER) in 479 starts over 16 Major League seasons with the Yankees (1995-2003 and '07-10) and Houston Astros (2004-06). He is one of just 26 pitchers all-time to complete his career 100-or-more games over .500. Of the 19 Hall of Fame-eligible pitchers who have reached that plateau, only "Parisian" Bob Caruthers, who went 218-99 from 1884-92, is not enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Originally selected by the Yankees in the 22nd round of the 1990 First-Year Player Draft, Pettitte played 13 seasons with the club, going 203-112 with a 3.98 ERA (2,535,2 IP, 1,122 ER) and 1,823 strikeouts in 405 games (396 starts). In franchise history, he ranks second in strikeouts and starts, third in wins, fourth in innings pitched and eighth in appearances (405). He appeared in eight career World Series (seven as a Yankee), winning championships with the club in 1996, '98, '99, 2000 and '09.

Pettitte is the all-time winningest pitcher in postseason history, going 19-10 with a 3.83 ERA in 42 career starts. He also ranks first all time in postseason starts and innings pitched (263.0), and is tied for second with 173 strikeouts. His personal career postseason win total is more than that of nine other franchises (Kansas City-18; Arizona-15, Seattle-15, San Diego-12, Tampa Bay-10, Colorado-9, Milwaukee-9, Texas-9, and Montreal/Washingon-5). As a Yankee in the postseason, he went 18-9 with a 3.79 ERA (237.2 IP, 100 ER) in 38 career starts. While winning his final World Series with the Yankees in 2009, he became the first pitcher in Baseball history to start and win the clinching game of three series in a single postseason (ALDS vs. Minnesota, ALCS vs. Los Angeles-AL and WS vs. Philadelphia).

I am creating separation . . .

While in the seminary, the deans and teachers told me that I was a mother-hen and that I needed to create separation between me and the other classmates. Hey, they were my peeps (read: my minions), but it was cool, I got the message.

I can see that even today.

I am creating separation between myself and others, in my universe, simply because I am not your momma, nor am I willing to breast feed. I never was the suckling type.

The reality is that I have had it. If you are looking for a hug, support or some thing along those lines . . . go look some place else. The reality is that you really just don't listen. I am tired of repeating myself because I really don't like to repeat myself. I am not Jim Rome . . .

As a matter of fact, I mentioned on numerous occasions, that I would be lost to the world for several weeks due to ROI certification. There, I repeated myself, yet again. Happy? I am not, because I know you are not listening . . .
