Before I get to Wisconsin, I have to tell you the most bizarre think I saw on TV. In Mississippi, the group Sons of the Civil War or something like that or Decendents of the C.W. or whatever, want to put General Nathan Bedford Forrest on the new license plate. Now, General Forrest, was a Civil War General, true. However, he was also the lst Grand Wizard (or whatever the hell they called them) of the Klu Klux Klan! Now, the Governor Haley Bourbar - who will be a contender for the President (along w/about 50 of his buddies) feels he has to keep out of this and won't tell them not to do this. Of course, the NAACP is against this and will fight this, rightly so. I cannot believe this. First of all, they lost the war! 2nd, they seceded from the United States and at the last count, I believe MS is still a part of the United States. I have never heard of anything so ridiculous! WHY SHOULD THEY HONOR HIM?????? I hate the south, I really do. Maybe stupid is too strong a word, but I have to use it. THEY ARE STUPID!!!!!
Well, let's go North, shall we? New young (he looks 12!) governor, Scott Walker, is getting carried away w/the job. He wants to deduct I believe, either 8 or 9% more from the salaries of state workers, teachers, etc. etc. They are not making a hell of a lot of money as it is. They had a very peaceful demonstration yesterday (and it will continue) about l5,000 people came and I believe they were bussed in. Very peaceful and of course, Gov. Walker called out the National Guard! I don't know if he will back down from this. He inherited the state w/a big deficit and wants to take it from the middle class. Meanwhile, he says that Wisconsin is an industrial state and they have taken business from WI and sent it out of the country , oursourcing that is. Now, whose fault is that? It's the Republicans that do that. And when asked about the tax cuts for the rich the WI State Senator that was being questioned, said that the rich people are leaving the state and moving to TX or FL. ALL THE RICH PEOPLE? Whatever happens, I hope that this governor backs down as it is growing - New Rep Gov in Ohio, Casich. I really can't stand him, he used to be w/Fox News (or as Keith Olbermann dubbed them - Fox Noise) and I didn't like him there and I like him even less now he is Ohio Governor. N.J. Governor Chris Christie (he's the one that was on vacation in Disneyworld when his state was paralyzed by blizzards) he is cutting pensions for the Fire Fighters. He is doing a lot more, like Walker, but I am not sure exactly what. Add him to the list of those running for President in 2012. There won't be a stage big enough for them to have a debate!
Now the big talk is the budget and if I hear anything more about social security I will scream! Social Security has 2.6 trillion, it is not causing any problem, has nothing to do w/the deficit but everyone is talking about cutting it, including Obama. Right now I am very mad at him and going to send him an e-mail today. I am very disappointed. If I wanted a Republic President I would have voted for McCain. It is like he is trying to please the Republicans and he can't. He cannot please them no matter what he does as long as he is in office.
And that's that. Well, that's it for now.
Oh yes, Limbaugh! Yesterday he said that in 2012 we can "pull an Egypt" on Obama! OMG!!!!! I cannot stand that man!
