Chile Mine Rescue Observations

Rescue shaft drilled by an American using American equipment.

Rescued miners in great shape, kudos to whoever was in charge of keeping their spirits up and physical well being.

The president of Chile is a camera hog. Some concern rescue was delayed to start at 11:00 news slot. I thought that was BS until I saw how many photo ops the president had. Plus we don't even know if Chile TV has a similar schedule to ours.

Stimulus Payments to Dead People

72,000 checks for $250 each were mailed to dead people. That's not news, that's just our government in action. What I want reported is what happened to the checks, were any cashed and if so is there any legal action being taken to recover the money?

Turkey burgers

I keep seeing this TV commercial where they give away free turkey burgers and ask the people what they think. What a crock, you'd have to pay me to even try a turkey burger. If God wanted you to eat turkey burgers He wouldn't have made them taste like chicken. What a waste of good turkey.

Lawyers

From AP - "More than 100 lawyers are battling for the biggest chunks of what is likely to be a multibillion-dollar settlement for Gulf of Mexico oil spill victims, jockeying for spots on the elite team that will control the plaintiffs' cases."

If you are a lawyer you might want to stop reading at this point.

Are they doing this out of the goodness of their heart? Or are they expecting huge payments for standing in court and saying BP fucked up. You know the answer.

Now that most mortgage loan officers have been put out of business, lawyer have returned to their proper place at the top of the list of 'biggest bunch of scumbags'.

Question: What do you have with a lawyer up to his neck in concrete.

Answer: Not enough concrete.

Healthcare Waivers

If the new HC laws are so great why have there been 30 waivers issued so far and another 140 applications are being reviewed? These waivers aren't being issued to little Mom & Pop businesses but major corporations. WTF!

Hey, just asking!

Freedom of Speach

The Supreme Court hears the case about protesters at military funerals. This is a tough one, on one hand I want to shoot the protesters, on the other hand they have the right to free speech. I guess they also have the right to be assholes.

It is a shame that the law and common sense cannot coexist.

Mexican Pirates - update

From FOX news - "The wife and mother of an American allegedly shot to death by Mexican pirates on a border lake in Texas are angrily demanding that Mexican authorities allow U.S. investigators to join the search for a body -- and stop questioning whether the attack ever happened."

The silence from the White House is deafening, but what did you expect. President Obama should ask WWRRD! I'll bet there would be some bullets and explosives involved.
