What a Game

Last night I thought I was going to a baseball game with the O's vs the Nationals but left with a football game score of 17 to 5. Two touchdowns and a field goal vs a filed goal and a safety. Great temperature and low humidity, friends all around a great night for baseball. Then the opening pitch and the slide down began. The Nationals had a exceptional game 6 home runs! The O's just demonstrated their pitching problems and lack of offense. However 5 runs with good pitching should win games.

All in all at least it took my sorrows away from the economy, our representatives in power etc, but on looking again our nemesis remains connected to DC, only this time it's the baseball team.

If the Rapture is coming, I am unconcerned that any from Capital Hill or the White House will be with us. If they are, then God really is a mystery!

Being generous with other's money

What recently caught my ear and made me think was Obama's generosity with Egypt and the other Arab countries "going through transition", i.e. change in government. Evidently not only do we give Egypt 1 Billion Dollars annually but they also owe us 1 Billion Dollars. Our magnanimous and generous President has the "courage" to tell Egypt, never mind, you don't need to pay your debt to us and ah yes, we will continue to send you our dollars. Now he also wants to purchase friendship on the Arab streets in Egypt, and other Arab countries. I think he'd welcome the change no chance to join the Arab Brotherhood. But my question is if the Arab nations need support, where are the Oil Rich Arab Countries? Doesn't Saudi Arabia have substantial surplus? Don't they have an obligation to support brother Arabs. Or are we the patsy? WE should go broke sending more money to the Arabs so we can rack up our public debt so as not to burden our "friends" in Arabia.

It's time to realize they are not friends or allies. They may not hate us but they certainly do not willingly support us. Stop bankrupting our future generations by sending any money to Arabia. Maybe we should expect to be paid by the Oil Producing Arab Countries for being their mercenaries and protecting these rich dictatorships.

I am not a foreign policy expert but something just does not balance.

Government as usual must stop.

Our Politicians have been given a free ride by the press and the electorate.

What is troubling is that there isn't much more that rumbling in the street.
