So let's review. A few months back there was cash for
clunkers program. Many Americans traded in their monster
SUV's for a certain Japanese import that has been in the news.
Critics claim the clunker program was a failure because it
was suppose to put cash back in the coffers of the Big 3 auto
makers in Detroit Mi. not in the pockets of foreign automakers.
Now many of these folks have to hassle with going to a dealer-
ship to have the problem fixed. Believe me it is a total hassle to
have to deal with car dealerships on any level. A friend [at the time
of the program] told me it would come back to bite us on the ass.
So is it poetic justice or just cruel irony that this would happen to
your new imported car after you snubbed the big 3's catalog of
automobiles? Nope just another pain in the arse bump in the road
of life. I see the CEO of said automaker on the tube saying his
company would work 24 - 7 to fix the problem. He said they
would not stop until it was fixed. Hmmm, not stop, that's the
problem from the get go. Poor choice of words on his part.

Groundhog Day. No Bill Murray sightings. Guess
We'll be safe until spring. Actually I sat through the
film of the same name with my 12 year old. She was
totally amazed by the story of a jerk who has to relive
the same day over and over. The film is a totally quirky
adventure with some very hilarious scenes. Another cool
thing about having kids, getting to share funny films with
them. We laughed all through. Then when it was over
we noticed it was on again, and again and again after that.
We laughed some more. Happy Groundhog Day Bill.

This has been an unusual long week and I am drained.
Even my eyes are tired. So as to not strain my eye to
much I shall keep it brief. Snow storms are pounding
the middle of the country. Here it's raining so I will
just unwind. Enjoy your weekend.

So as I watched the President give his State of the Union
speech last night I thought "Wow, he is talking right to me."
In the first two minutes he said he understood people were
tired of the Bull. Tired of partisanship. Tired of all the bickering.
Man that is so me. I have gotten to the point where I am sick
of watching anything from America calling itself News. On a
local level maybe but for the Big Picture I look to the BBC.
Here in the U.S. they are to busy wondering when Paris is
going to do another sex tape with a chihuahua. Or if Gerard
Butler can still fit in his Spartan togs. The republicans [I purposely
left it uncapitalized] should be ashamed of themselves. The
State of the Union address is the task of the President of the
United States, not the task of the newly elected tool of a
governor of Virginia. I understand giving both sides of the story
but these talking heads push there own agenda and look for
people they can go into agreement with. You trying to tell me if
the republican candidate had been elected anything would be any
better? Horsesheet. One year ago the idiot-crisy was calling for
an end to GW Bush. Now they want to renew his tax cuts for the
wealthy that just months ago they were bitchin' about. People
need to get behind the man and his plan. If one more clown tells
me it's too ambitious I'll nail 'em. We are suppose to be ambitious.

Tonight in America the President gives his State
of the Union speech. He has been in office for one
year so the "report cards" are coming in from the
talking heads to the pundits. 61% of people who voted
for him are not for him now. These peeps feel he let them
down. Didn't keep his campaign promises. Personally
when I hear a campaign promise I always say "sure,
like that's going to happen". I never believe any. I have
watched this happen since Nixon so I know of what I
speak. So if you thought it was just a matter of getting
him in office to get what you wanted think again. No
matter who is the President he gets all the problems that
already existed and more. To the 61% I can only say
give it time. Oh and you wanted change, well that's all
you have. In your pockets.
