Specter and UAW Coming Out of the Closet

It's Official Folks. The right honorable Senator Arlen Specter has stopped wearing a disguise and gone public with his secret. He's a democrat. And, of course, it's been all over the news stations today.

So, freakin what? He was a democrat once before and switched to being a republican. The reality is that Specter switched sides because he was going to lose in the R-Primary in PA. As a (D-PA) he will likely win reelection for the sixth time. Any other platitudes are simply noise designed to distract you from the central theme in personal politics today. SEMPER ME.

Realists the world over know that the politicians single soul consuming mission is to get re-elected. Realists understand that timing is everything. It doesn't matter what party is in power we will always get the government we deserve even when it obviously isn't the one we need.

At least now, with the magical 60 votes within spastic clutching reach, there is no way the guys with (R - ??) can be blamed. The Republican party blew it, got spanked, and today was properly neutered.

RIP

And in other news today in spite of being overshadowed by the Specter saga...... The Fed now owns or will own 50% of General Motors. And..... as an added bonus the UAW gets 38% of GM and 55% of Chrysler.

Does anyone remember when Bill Gates was the bad guy because he was able to run Microsoft in an efficient and profitable manner?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Considering the news lately there really isn't much to blog about if you are a working stiff. So, for those who found the time to "Tea Party", that is great. Hang in there. Obviously you got under CNN's skin. That alone made it all worthwhile.

I do have one news question though. I wonder why Pirates are kept alive? We captured one. He should have been shot out of hand and dumped overboard. Some don't like that thought. Well, I am right and you are wrong, end of story. That is Andrew Wilkows tag line on Sirius and it is spot on. Pirates are nothing more than a subset of the vermin classed as terrorists. Kill em all, and if/when their relatives join the family business kill them too.

Finally, Tom Sullivan had a great comparison to all the tax and spend madness. He said it was equivalent to someone borrowing a hundred bux and then buying you a ten buck lunch and expecting you to be grateful. Awesome.

Well it's back to job one, job two, and the search for hidden online millions :)
