"Something New" (Or, "More to Read on the Internet")

I’m putting out my much-abbreviated weekly blog a little early (no martini, either), as I won’t be able to really get to it this weekend. My whole week (well, I should say, the last couple of weeks) seem to have been filled with all things dealing with the bailout bill.

Oh, excuse me – my mistake. The rescue bill. (Same shit – different name.)

Anyway, I’m pretty much against it no matter how much they try to spit polish it. Plain and simple. Don’t understand why a bill needs to pass within one week, why more research cannot be completed into the situation prior to passing a bill, and where the hell the amount of $700 billion came from! (Someone's hind-end must hurt from pulling that amount out of it!) Until someone can guarantee me that I (a taxpayer) won’t take it in the shorts even more than I currently am in the stock market, I won’t ever support it.

Anyway, for you political-types out there, I have a blog site that might be of interest to you. My niece’s boyfriend, David Carlson (more commonly known as DC), authors it. He is about as nice a kid as you will ever find. He goes to college at St. Thomas, and is a very smart guy. I’m thinking that most of the contributors are about his age – early 20’s – college age (except for me – of course). I appreciate reading his point of view on issues. Take a peek sometime.
