Mayor Daley expresses himself
*“Us and New York decided not to do that. (Author: Decided not to reveal our Stimulus list) We thought we could go directly into the federal bureaucracies and the different departments," the mayor added.
And
"Read some of your newspapers. Heh heh," he replied. (Author: Are these the same newspapers from which Blago wanted the Op-ed editors fired?)
If I wanted to have a little fun with a theory and had the skills, I could make Galileo’s theory read like “The Three Little Pigs”. There is a gold mind in those three little sentences of the good Mayor Daley. However, I do have a theory that admittedly falls short of Galileo’s and it has to do with the reason our Congress appears to don work boots made of cement when trying to pass a bill. My theory is simple: Congress wants to waste time so the political crooks to whom they are beholding can get in place to siphon off as much money as they can after the bill is passed. At the next roll call and after receiving certain phone calls and messages you may hear..
-Mr. A.
-Aye
-Mr. A votes “Aye.” Mr. B.
-Aye
Mr. B votes “Aye.” Mr. C…….. Mis-ter C.
-Aye.
-Mr. C votes “Aye.” Mr. D.
Scene two:
It’s not that I do not understand what the “Stimulus Package” or, to be politically correct, “The stimulus recovery package” is. I do. It’s that “Tax cut” thing I do not understand. Give me some examples. All I hear is, “The Republicans want tax cuts”. That is the Democrat’s main contention with them. All they want are “Tax cuts!” they repeat over and over. I have been around enough to know that political nomenclature is never what you think it is. If you go along with the normal meaning of words and their associations when listening to political talk, you and that proverbial crazy bed bug will have lots in common. So it is when the Democrats and political pundits talk about the Republicans wanting “Tax cuts,” I doesn’t know what dey talkin’ ‘bout!. Color me stupid and double stupid if they themselves know what they are talking about.
Scene three:
Ms. Hilda Solis for Sec. Of Labor. The Republicans don’t want her due to the fact she wants all workers who want a union to be in one. This is what I heard.
In my opinion, having unions is a double-edged sword. Were it not for unions, many of us Blacks would not have stood a chance in hell. Most of the middle-class Blacks of yesterday grew as a result of unions. Pullman Porters and Teacher Unions come to mind as good examples. Church members were unions for Ministers. The physicians were just out there.
The other edge of the sword says that many companies went off shore due to the increase demands of unions. There is talk they can become very un-reasonable, power greedy and intimidating. Watching the confirmation hearings of Ms. Solis is going to put me in conflict with heart felt emotionally charged “Good and Bad”. It would be easier if it were “Good and Evil” but it isn’t. Damn!
Scene four:
Discovering I was a diabetic and learning a hell of a lot from the visiting nurse, I have discover a processed ham sandwiches and slices of country ham on a folded single slice of bread sends my sugar level up considerably. Must be some Genetically Engineered products in them which repulses the human body. I sure hate to waste the money throwing them away but hey, what are my choices? “I’m Reviewing the situation?” Nah. Well maybe, just maybe and since I have to take Lantos at night…maybe Fagin had something. I’ll see. Nah! I don’t want to have to get on a dialysis machine ever in life. (check mate!)
Scene five:
Verizon is my Internet Service Provider (ISP). This morning I was told to contact my ISP due to the fact I could not get on the internet. After doing some technical stuff, the technician decided I needed a new router and said I would receive the new router on Tuesday, four days from now. I resolve to watch movies to while away the time using my Fios on Demand. The message said there was a problem with the Fios on Demand service and to call the service department.
Another department and another technician. We did the trouble-shooting thing and after awhile, my TV screen went black and then came back on. It was fine and I would access Fios on Demand.
I returned to my computer and tried once again to get on line and, ”Wahla!”. Not only did I get on line but my computer monitor had stop blinking off and on. Feeling brave and fearless, I also Googled “How to change the screen refresh rate of your monitor” and got http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311403. I followed the directions and change the refresh rate from 60 to 70. That was early this morning. No more monitor blinking on and off. Peace at last! I Just hope the good Lord forgives me for all the dirty names I had been calling my monitor. (Smile)
Curtain.
As always,

P.S. Could Pres. Obama be considered a surrogate employer of members of congress “firing” the ones who do not do well?
