Random Tuesday Morning Ramblings

The FCC announced yesterday its plan to offer greatly enhanced Internet access across the United States, with speeds up to twenty-five times faster than currently available. This news is being widely hailed in the business world, as it means far greater efficiency of, and less chance of being caught while, downloading porn.

Back when President Bush was in office, near the send of his second term his low approval rating in opinion polls was the lead story on an almost nightly basis. So how come now when three out of four people disapprove of the job Congress is doing, nary a peep is being heard from the media? Just sayin’.

This duly noted, memo to Republicans: if you wouldn’t have grown fat, lazy and corrupted while in power, we wouldn’t be in this mess. That’s the whole point of the tea party movement. We have principles and guiding political philosophies we actually follow. What’s your excuse?

Back to Congress. Really enjoying the maneuvering going on to get some kind of health care bill (let’s face it, folks, we shouldn’t be calling this reform as it’s anything but) out of Congress. My current favorite is having the House pass the Senate version of the bill without actually voting on it. Brings a whole new meaning to Nancy Pelosi’s claims of transparency in government. Yes, we do see right through you, thanks.

Then again, we are talking about someone who believes she’s more Catholic than the Pope.

Hmm. Palestinians rioting over the reopening of a synagogue. One would think they’d be more inclined to get cranky over the fact that the rest of the Arab world really could care less about them, they haven’t done squat nationally except throw bombs and temper tantrums since 1948, and their “leadership” has a better chance of discovering the moon is a giant dusty grapefruit than accomplishing anything other than getting their brainwashed minions killed. But to each their own.

On a personal note, timing is everything. After weeks of moderate to severe hand pain I finally schedule a doctor’s visit for later this morning to have it examined. Naturally, this morning it feels the best it has since I first started having problems.
