So it’s been quite a year. We’re in a recession. The “official” unemployment is at 10% but the real unemployment rate is over 17%.

My heart goes out to all the good folks that are unemployed, underemployed, or struggling to get by because they’re recovering from being unemployed or underemployed.

Now, stealing from future generations to bail out the current generations is stupid. I feel bad for future generations. Don’t get mad when they cut off your Social Security and put you in crappy retirement homes. Frankly, our generations deserve it.

Plus, I still don’t get why the guy got a Nobel Peace Prize.  We’re still in two wars, one of which we have no business whatsoever being in (and yes, I was against this war from the beginning).  If someone has the answer to that, I’m all ears.

Folks - I’ve been really busy and neglecting my blog.  Yes, it’s still active.  I’ll get back to it when I have more time.

More importantly, remember to vote tomorrow.  I’m not going to tell you who to vote for, but I will tell you that I have a preference that we vote out the incumbents.  They’ve obviously done a lousy job with leading the country, protecting the Constitution, and managing this economy.

Whatever you do, don’t make an excuse not to vote.  The only legitimate excuse not to vote is if you’re dead or you’re with someone who’s dying.  Yes, those are more important than voting.  Everything else is either laziness or mismanaging your time.

I should probably do a separate post one day on doing what you want to do.  That was what I wanted to get at when I was talking about Missy Suicide, but I guess it was more steered in the direction of her website.

I strongly believe in doing what you want to do in life instead of chasing dollar bills.  The latter will leave you empty.  The former fulfilled.  Money will come.  You just may need to learn to live on less for awhile.

So once again, hats off to Missy.  She created a niche market and is making a pretty fine living doing it.

Obama, Swords, and Umbrellas

So the Obama police have decided to not allow graduating midshipmen of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis to have their ceremonial swords with them.  Get this, they’re also banning umbrellas.  Yes, not making this up.  I guess Obama’s people are afraid that someone will kill him with an umbrella.  What pussies.

To be fair, the Bush people were just as bad.  When he went to Iraq, he had the soldiers screened, then on top of that, their firing pins removed.

So the tyrants are scared of the people they represent.  As tyrants should be.

Speaking of tyrants, you remember that Saddam Hussein guy? He’s that evil dictator in Iraq that we were fighting against (and are still stuck there).  Funny, Hussein let people fire AK-47s in the air in his presence.  Go figure.

Clothosfate has a pretty good rant on stupid-proofing the world and keeping the masses ignorant.  I agree on all counts. Read it and be sure to comment. This is my best rant of the week for this week.
