Happy New Year to everybody!
Time for a little of this and that.
Al Franken's stealing of Norm Coleman's Minnesota Senate seat is almost complete.
Harry Reid seems willing to seat Franken if the "recounting" is not finished. Never mind that he wasn't willing to seat Coleman when he was still "ahead". The Democrats don't care that the voters rejected this scary nitwit Franken and reelected Coleman, their super-majority is in danger.
Meanwhile in New York, Democrats want to hand a Senate seat to Caroline Kennedy. Never mind that she really hasn't done anything on her own to get there. Her last name is Kennedy so I guess that's the reason why she would be prefect for the Senate. I for one was looking forward to a Senate free of a member with the last name of Kennedy. Now there will be two. Oh, goody! Once she is there she will be there forever! Good luck to any smuck that would have to actually run to earn that office.
In Illinois the arrogant indicted Governor Rod Blagojevich goes ahead and names the replacement for the vacated Obama Senate seat. Roland Burris comes out of nowhere and ends his retirement. (I had honestly thought he had passed away, since I hadn't seen him in the news lately). Of course there is talk about the Democrats not seating him, that's as likely as Franken conceding his election loss.
AND THIS IS THE CHANGE PEOPLE "VOTED" FOR!! YIKES!!!
They aren't even in office yet and its a huge mess already. I think I miss George Bush already. I will have plenty to write and complain about for at least the next two years. If the Republicans aren't returned to power in Congress in two years this country needs its head examined.
In International News, the delusional leader of Cuba,
Raul Castro thinks the Communist Revolution will last another 50 years there. He will be lucky to get another 5 years out of it. We can only hope that the end of Communism in Cuba doesn't lead to a bloodbath, in the island nation that has suffered greatly under its communist dictatorship. Cuba future could be great if they could turn into a Democracy soon.
The election of Obama doesn't help the nations that hope for a better future. Obama will be a weak president, that the dictators of the world will take advantage of. With many Clinton staffers back for a "third Clinton" term, the foreign policy will likely be alot like Clintons. One that goes in many mixed up directions. If you are a foreign person reading this, the U.S. is out to lunch for the next four years at least. Help for you will have to wait for the next Republican president to clean up after. Sorry!
Why the global elites of the world prefer a president like Obama? I sure don't know why. I understand that many people don't like a powerhouse like the U.S. with so much strength. But the world is a vacuum, do you really want former or current communists or muslim terrorists running the world? I think not. Cause you elites types will be the first ones lined up and gotten rid of.
The political world is so strange, isn't it? Logic or reason has no place there. The more stupid the better!
Its going to be a fun years isn't it?!?!?!?
