1. President Obama has started his backyard beer drinking tour. How do I get on this list?
2. The Cash for Clunkers program has already exceeded its planned budget in the first week. By the way, it was budgeted through to the end of October. Congress and the President say it’s a great success. Since when is something a success when you overruns a three month budget in one week?
3. In the legislators-not-reading-bills-they-are-voting-on segment, Representative John Conyers, head of the House Judiciary Committee, said this week that he loves when other congressmen get up and ask the question, “did you read the bill?” His response is to know how you can read a 1000 page document in one or two days and understand it. He said that if the congress read everything they voted on, they would never get anything done. HEY, not doing anything, now that might be a concept.
4. An Inspector General’s report released this week said that 64% of the U. S. Department of Energy failed to use proper climate controls in their buildings resulting in $11.5 million in wasted energy. That’s enough to power 9,800 homes for one year.
5. Senator Christopher Dodd announced this week that he has Prostate Cancer. Since he and Senator Ted Kennedy are fighting cancer, and they are the champions of the President’s healthcare reform, I wonder if they will even be able to stomach using the antiquated and failing healthcare system here in America?
Well, I’m off to see the Wizard!
Bill
