NO PENSION REFORM!

Yes that is right.Victory for the workers and pensioners!Thanks to the hard work of our unions who fought this atrocity in the state of Illinois.The Illinois Supreme Court votes 7 to 1 in favor of the unions saying reform was unconstitutional! Unions Rock!

Climate Change

Okay if you do not believe in climate change just come to Davenport Iowa and watch the Mississippi River rise!

obesity

This is a problem that is out of control.Especially  in areas like the rural Midwest.There is no excuse for this.Why folks do not know better in this age of technology is beyond me.They have to know this is not healthy so wake up America!Stop eating that processed food.Oh by the way you are causing an unnecessary cost.If you take care of yourselves you will not be flooding the health care sysyem with unnecessary cost that could be prevented.So listen to our first lady Mrs Obama and do the right thing.You are not in this alone.If you care about your country then take care of yourselv.

pet peeves

Today I will get of politics and talk about simple things that annoy me.Have you ever been at a coffee shop using the Internet or reading a book?If so have you ever been disturbed by a loud obnoxious coffee machine making a Lati or some other fancy drink?I  In fact that is where I am as I write this post.I know it is not the fault of the employees,but is there  any other way this could be done?The noise is so obnoxious and with all the technology there has to be better options to complete this task.If anyone has any suggestions please send me a post.Thanks Tony

AIRLINES

Yes  am so tired of the airlines and their cost cutting ,bad service,and rip off ticket pricing.Oh and lets not forget the check in luggage fee  ,which by the way they made millions on.I say it is time for high speed rail and to HELL with the rip off airline industry.

Florida 19th

Yes this is a big disappointment.I am talking about the special election for congress to replace Tray Radial who resigned over a cocaine arrest in Washington DC last fall.The democrats had a very good candidate named April Freeman ,however this Gerry mandered district will always turn down any one who is progressive .DISGUSTING.

No Advisers in Iraq

All of us who remember Viet Nam remember what advisers really means.It is just another word for combat troops.Because that is what they really are.If they get caught up in a fire fight what else can they do.And if that happens what is next?We all know the answer to that combat troops and the whole thing stars all over again.I am sorry Mr.President but this time I have to agree with Ram Paul.Stay out of it.
