David Letterman

Okay, everyone knows this one had to happen. I have to write about this. Now let me start out by saying I have not watched Mr. Letterman regularly in a few years, but when I was in college and first married, I watched often and was a big fan. But somewhere in the last few years Mr. Letterman has gotten a little too opinionated for me. I just always enjoyed his program for the humor and that seems to have been replaced with more biting and hateful jabs than humorous glances at people.

In my opinion, no one should make the kind of remarks he made about Governor Palin’s daughter, or anyone’s daughter for that matter. I think Mr. Letterman knows this – Now. It will be interesting to see how people will take his apology. I am not sure if it is for us to do anything more than forgive, just as the Good Book says.

There have been calls for Mr. Letterman’s removal and while this position is understandable, it is really not the American way. Mr. Letterman made a mistake, he and he alone can make up for that mistake. The viewing public and Mr. Letterman will be the ones to determine his future just as the Capitalists believe it should be. As a conservative, and a Christian, I think that is the way it should be, for everyone.

IDs and the Black Panthers

So let’s get this straight, there is no way the Democrats like the idea of voters having to show photo ID in order to vote. Now the democrats in the Obama administration are more than willing to drop the charges against three members of the New Black Panthers who stood outside a Philadelphia voting station during the November 2009 general election.

Oh yeah, these three men not only stood outside the voting place, but the brandished clubs and threatened voters and poll workers – both black and white. But it’s all good; the Attorney General’s office was able to gain an injunction to stop this sort of thing in the future.

Um, excuse me, I am not a lawyer, but isn’t this a clear violation of the Voter’s Rights Act. If so, why do you need an injunction to keep someone from breaking the law – that’s what putting them in prison is supposed to do.

One of the poll workers worked was a Civil Rights Lawyer in the 1960’s South and worked on the Robert Kennedy Campaign. Even he said in an affidavit that it was one of the worst cases of voter intimidation he had ever seen.

So, like I said, let’s get this straight, the Democrats want no proof of who someone is before they vote and have no problems with dropping the charges against someone who intimidates and coerces the public in how they choose to vote.

I still like my ID photo though,

Government Motors

OH-MY-GOD, HIDE…HIDE…HIDE. The very day has come that President Obama said we had to avoid. Govern…uh…I mean General Motors has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

OUT FREAKIN STANDNG.

Just so you know, this is the way it will all pan out. GM will break up as follows in order to gain over $30 billion to continue to operate. (By the way, if you use the example demonstrated following the last bailout, “continuing to operate” apparently suggests continuing on in a constant direction that leads to abject failure.) Here is how the breakdown of interest in GM will go:
10% to unsecured bondholders.
12.5% to the Canadian Government.
17.5% to the United Auto Workers.
60% to the United States Government.

This is soooooo wonderful. So let me get this straight. The same government game plan that has been so successful with the Post Office and Amtrak will now be put into place with government control of GM. Yeah I know President Obama said he will move to get rid of this interest in Gm as soon as possible – when.

That should have been done today by beginning a plan offering up that interest to Car Dealers, Customers, and investors. Not retaining it by the government until that interest is worthless due to proven and repeated inept management of government resources by the very government responsible for those resources.

I wonder if there are any Yugos for sale?
