I am like an addict...I was off the political "junk" for a good long while but I can't help but comment on this.

I am not a big fan of John Boehner and most people here know that San-Fran-Nancy is a flipping idiot but this evening is a good stark contrast.

Usually I try to refrain from name calling but tonight I can't help it.

Rep. Boehner's speech was logical and passionate. No matter what you think of his stance on issues, it was a good statement.

The President's State of the Union Speech...condensed...

It will give more freedom to the individual and strengthen the bonds of collective obligation. It will combine the efficiency of free enterprise with the generosity of a planned economy.”

Go ahead, ask me who wrote this originally...and in what year.

An 87-Year-Old's Economic Survival Guide

by  Chuck Norris

An old Spanish proverb says, "An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy." I believe that value holds, in or out of a recession. And seeing as my 87-year-old mother lived through the Great Depression, I think her value (and that of those like her) will increase through these tough economic times because her insider wisdom can help us all.
