How're we doing?

Have you seen the national debt lately?  Do you see a trend? GW may well
out spend Reagan & Bush 43 combined.  It took them 12 years to raise
the debt from 1 to 4 trillion, and GW will raise it by 3 trillion in one term!
Under Clinton, the fiscal deficit was reduced to zero and the national debt
nearly stopped increasing altogether by the end of 2000. GW says he can cut the
fiscal deficit by half in five years, and you know what? I don't believe him.

Reality Bit Me

Whoa, stop with all the so-called reality TV. There's nothing genuine about it; it's meant to pull in ad dollars at the expense of (and perpetuates) the lowest common denominator.

But I like "The Apprentice". No apologies. It inspires me and makes me think. About something
worthwhile, for a change. Donald Trump has churned the imagination of many would-be
entrepreneurs and this show puts on display the unusual personalities you see in business -- the same devious people we
might really have to deal with in such an arena.

UPDATE -- Who the hell does Trump's hair!?

Bush on Illegals

It isn't fine with me that we're telling foreign nationals to ignore the legal standards for immigrating to the US, and 'W' didn't ask me
about it. I fully recognize that we're a country built on immigration, but there's some paper work we ask people to fill out at the door. If you don't like the process, then let's work to change it, but don't reduce the standards
based on unacceptable behavior and make breaking the law acceptable.  War exists where there are no effective laws; chaos reigns where there is no order; and Americans lose their jobs where illegal immigration is permitted!
