Blogging With Ike

"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

What The . . .

Okay so Obama flips off Hillary during a campaign stop.
I do not know what to make of this. It seems innocent enough. Yet he should have responded to the crowd if there was something else.

Then again . . .

. . . everything is done for a reason on this election cycle. So maybe he did for a reason







Hey maybe . . . just maybe . . . he is showing he needs to cut a finger nail with some safety cutters.

If you like taxes . . .

There is a really nasty thing out there called the AMT. This horrid piece of work was written in the 70s and has never been updated. It was to make sure that the 'rich' pay their fair of taxes.

One thing I am learning however . . . it is not the 'rich' paying it. If a couple makes a nice living and has some small investments . . . they are rich. Any combined income over 70k can subject you to this puniative tax. They are already in the 25% tax bracket but lets make them pay more.

So our couple makes 100K per year. Wham they are subject to the tax. Now this are not the 'rich' people as in the 1978. In 1978 100k would be equal to 338K. Someone who earns 338K will have lawyers, tax people, and more helping them to avoid paying taxes. Who gets shafted? The middle class.

So guess what happened . . . on March 13, 2008 the Senante tried to eliminate the AMT. Of course do the democrats care? OF course not the Hate Mongers all voted to keep the tax.

Please attach a Thermal labels to your envelope and write your congressperson.

Where is Al Gore?

Yesterday, April 25, 2008 we received between 14 and 16.5 inches of snow.

I took a measurement on top of Mustang which was parked the whole time. This car is not subject to drifts and would actually have some snow blown off. I had 14 for the roof and 16.5 on the hood.

Now what happened to Global Warming?

We had the coldest winter on recored for 8 years.
We had 16.5" of snow in one day. At least this should help with fresh water supplies.


So where is Al Gore to shovel my sidewalks! I bet he is in his mansion on a bath lift laughing all the way to the bank.

THe only thing this global warming scare has done is to make Al Gore rich.

Math is Discovered

Here we go . . . something I normally do not trounce upon.


There is great article on math philosophy in the Science News magazine which I found through this tech journal.

The question is: Is Math discovered or invented. The most obvious answer is discovered. Wereas 3+2=5 is an obvious statement. How does Bill discover if he has three apples and Mary gives him two more, how many does he have?

If math is invented then we have the basic problem of: can any math answer ever be considered wrong? I for one want to then go back in time and retake my high school algebra class. Mrs. Shore has some real explaining to do.

The problem is further made obvious as every problem comes back to addition or subtraction.

As an example: 4*3=12 is also 4+4+4=12 which is also 3+3+3+3=12. We may discover new ways of doing things however, Math is revealed truth not some hodgepodge of silliness with budget software.

On a sidenote: Mrs. Shore, it is not to late to change my grade.

Fun In PA

Well it looks like Hilary has won the great PA primary. This means that we will go on for an even longer time.

I am not to sure that this is a bad or good thing. I am not to sure what it means as all the pundits have been so wrong. However, the prediction I can make is weeks more of craizness.

Well you better get your car insurance online now and save the made rush.

Democrats in Labor

It seems that we have been on the political treadmill for a very long time.

After watching the debate last wednesday, I am rather convinced that neither of these two people can either (A.) win the election, or (B.) be compentant.

I am hoping the the democrat super delegates will do what they are supposed to do and find a third person. Both Hil-Bill and Broak (Br-oak) Obam-a are not the person to win.


This is such an odd dent that I am really convinced that with this length hil and bam cannot win.

Love Fest in PA

I think they must have sent out birthday invitations for a happy love fest in PA last night.

Why is it both of the people can say, CHANGE! Govt is broke! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR!

Yet they do not offer any real solutions, just more taxes.

And yes taxes is not about money, it is about fairness.

No Mr Obama, it is about fear mongering and class warfare.



I do not think any of the two clowns can win.

Racism

I have to confess that I really like the Apple iTunes 99 cent movie weekly rental. For the part Apple has made some really good choices. This week the movie is Soul Plane.

However, when watching the promo for the movie, I saw the basic of racism. So many stereoypes were played out in the movie. This is racism.

I know most people like to think that racism exists with mortgage lenders and other groups. However, the real racism exists in movies like this. I for one am disappointed that Apple would choose this movie to feature.

Have a good day.

The Evil Government

I am so frustrated with this Government of this here United States. The moron of an AG Mukasey is now trying to use terror to force more laws restricting the freedoms within the United States.

Allegedly large terror networks are selling pirated software. Does he provide any evidence. Of course not. Why would they do that. Therefore we need more government and more regulation and more penalties. Of course what are the odds that a terrorist will be put in jail? None.


Remember when Branson rentals were the biggest headache? Now we have the Bush White house wanting to say that the 4th Amendment does not apply to Government on domestic military operations. My head hurts from this one.
