The blogosphere on the right are all speculating that Gov. Palin's decision announced today means she is toast, that her political career is finished, and quite frankly, I find it highly annoying.
The bottom line is nobody outside of the Palin family knows the reason or reasons why, so stop saying she is finished, that she is toast.
Just stop it!
and please turn in your paycheck to the nearest Politburo Apparatchik.
Mr. Ed Morrissey, of Hotair.com fame, has written an excellent op-ed piece which strips away the veneer of what President Obama thinks of what an economy should look like. I urge you to read the entire piece, for it explains how this current Administration likes to play fast and loose with the numbers, in order to promote their agenda.
What is particularly egregious to me is his touting of the California economy as one the United States should emulate! A state that is issuing IOUs, that is running businesses out, that is taxing its people to death is one we should emulate?
I cannot believe these people...it simply baffles the mind.
I don't recall seeing this movie being advertised...do you?
So, I have been thinking about this for a long time, that is, doing a prearranged funeral. To me, it makes as much sense as having an updated will and a living will, because it alleviates your loved ones from agonizing and emotionally charged decisions at a time when they least need it.
So, have any of my readers ever done this? What are the pros and cons if you have? Have you ever contemplated doing this?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
a major car rental agency to drop my friend so he could get his rental car.
Agent (in a lispy voice): "Hi, welcome to '________', how can I help you?"
My Friend: "Hi, I'm here to pick up my rental, my name is '________________'."
Agent: "OK, let me look you up...here you are. We have the (insert make/model here) economy car for you. It gets great gas mileage and is great for environment!"
Me: Looks at agent, rolls eyes.
Agent: Sees me rolling eyes...gives a patronizing, dismissive look.
Agent: "So, Mr. '_____________', I see you are traveling to '________', Iowa. I really miss Iowa, it is becoming such a progressive state don't you think, not like here in Nebraska."
Me: audibly mutters under breath...'Ohh, geez, like that's a good thing?"
Agent: Gives dismissive look at me again, turns to my friend.
My Friend: "Ummm...I reserved the SUV, not the (insert make/model here) economy car."
Agent: "Well, according to my records, Mr. '___________', it says here you reserved..."
My Friend: "No, I didn't reserve that, I reserved the SUV, and I have a disabled veteran discount...here is my reservation print out."
Agent: "Oh, ummm..."
Me: Thinking...'Way to go, Eco-Boy.'
Agent: "Let me check our records, and..."
Me: "So, which SUV is the one my friend will be driving, what is the discount, and the total price? He has to get back home, and I don't have time for this..."
Agent: "It's the blue one, with..."
Me: "oh, you mean the only SUV in the lot?"
Agent: "Yes, it is the..."
My Friend: (to the Agent) "I think we can figure out which one it is."
Agent: Completes transaction, gives my friend the keys...looks at me with that typical liberal look of disdain...
Me: "Have a nice day, pal!"
