Mouthing off:

Well, I actually do not know what is happening in the world, not that I ever really knew what is happening all over. In Wisconsin, tomorrow is the big day - Prosser vs Kloppenberg (I think I got that right!) Sarah Palin has endorsed Prosser - don't know if he is too thrilled w/that. It really is a bigger election than it would normally be. Hopefully, the Democrats will really make a showing and I know that there will be a lot of Republicans voting Democratic as should be. This will be happening all over the country. I just hope in 2012 people will not forget what happened this year and of course, so many of them unfortunately will be suffering financially, it will be hard to forget. These Republican Governors are unbelievable. It's like one after the other. I tweeted something about Rick Scott, Gov. FL and someone tweeted back asking if he was the same one that defrauded Medicare & Medicaid and I knew he did something shady in his past but couldn't remember what. Well, I googled him and got back to her and sure enuf he was the same one. How the hell someone like that gets elected to be governor of a state is beyond me. Now, I don't remember all I blogged so if I repeat myself , sorry. This same Rick Scott is cutting funds from the handicapped! Can you believe that? AND he ran in the run for getting $$$ for Special Olympics. How do you cut funds for handicapped people? Now, in the House budget they are cutting funds for poor people's heat in the winter. They are cutting from education all over the place and at the same time they are cutting from the poor, they are also cutting from the rich - TAXES!!!! Everyone I have watched on TV that discuss this, are saying that if they got tax $$ from corporations and from the upper 2%, it would get rid of the deficit eventually. But, however, they are still talking about "entitlements" - which we know are Social Security & Medicare & Medicale - now the word ENTITLEMENTS means exactly what it sounds like it means - something you are entitled to. I just don't understand that there aren't poor people or people in the Republican party that need these "entitlements". Now, the teabaggers that are holding up the whole thing, are mostly middle income people, who need social security and medicare. It is very confusing to me. I know I spoke about this before but it is still going on and the way it looks right now, as I said the last time, the government will closed down in 4 days! Today commemorates the day Martin Luther King was shot, it is also my birthday! Now, the same year, it was 1968, on my son's birthday June 6, Bobby Kennedy was shot and I believe he died the next day. When MLK was killed, it was spring vacation and we lived in Chicago and we were taking the kids to Springfield for vacation (I am pretty sure it was 1968) and we had to call the highway patrol to see if the roads were safe because the southside of Chicago was burning. Then, when Bobby Kennedy was shot, I was listening to the radio and was wondering why they were talking about JFK again and didn't realize it was another Kennedy that was killed. Bad times! But it is still bad times. I have never seen this country like this before. It's actually like a war between the 2 parties, or actually, 3 parties now! Do not know what is happening in Libya. Obama said we will not have soldiers on the ground there and so far we have not. It has been turned over to NATO but I don't think they are doing too well there. Japan - it is very bad there re the radiation. Just the earthquake and tsunami were very bad and would have crippled the country but the radiation is something else. It looks like no end in sight! Well, as I said, it is my birthday and I am going away for a couple of days and will get back w/more news hopefully - soon.
