The new debate is which candidates spouse is causing the most damage to their campaigns... Obama's wife gave a speech in which she was quoted as saying, "That it's the FIRST time in her adult life that she is PROUD of America" What did she mean? That never before has she been proud until her and her husband got a platform.....? I'm not sure she choose those words wisely(Every word holds tremendous power when your in the running for our next president) She would have been better off had she said, "She is now the PROUDEST of America." or "She has never been Prouder" But she didn't did she??? And Hillary needs to put a muzzle on her Husband and after his elbow to the face of a heckler maybe a straight jacket wouldn't be a bad idea.......[EMOTICON:THINK1]]

Well Roger you have just Rocketed your self right out of the Hall of Fame and secured your position pitching lies on the Hall of shame team. And Congress gave the best example we could of asked for to show why our government is broken. Even a simple hearing on a nothing(compared to real life)issue ended in no conclusion and the only proof that surfaced was that no issue is too small to boggle up with partisan politics. This is a perfect example of what is one of the biggest signs of the "dark" times we all live in. A recent nation wide study of teenagers found that 38% of them believe it's not just acceptable but necessary to Lie, cheat and even resort to VIOLENCE in order to achieve success today. Now, I wonder how they could have ever formed such an ugly view of the way to become successful in the dog eat dog world today? When you stand back and look, I now wonder how that number got so low? here is the Illumination- We have all seen and/or heard of someone being interviewed, after being accused of some criminal, ethical or other socially undesirable activity, only to have the accused adamantly deny any and all wrong doing. That would be followed up within days or weeks of another interview, after they know they have no chance based facts that have been brought out, were they now are on damage control. How sorry they are and how embarrassing this has all become. Apologizing for their actions and begging for forgiveness. "What tangled Webb we weave when we learn to deceive" No forgiveness or accepted apology! If, you were a person with integrity, like Andy Pennett who freely admitted what he had done and is sorry for those who got hurt. He will overcome this and his career is still intact, possibly even stronger because he stood up and didn't say, "I don't recall, I do not remember....." over time the dark cloud will dissipate. So, I will pick a few that I hold near and dear. The number one position is held by an x-President who just may become the first President and the first man to become "First man" We all remember that night he sat in the Oval office, giving the State of the Union address, stared directly into our eyes, pointed his finger into our faces and with the integrity of our nation and all previous presidents that came before and flat out "misremembered" (the new politically correct term for lying) When he stated," I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIOINS WITH THAT WOMEN!". Important to note here that NO one "missremembers" have sex, we may want to forget and sometimes wish we never did, it's not a memory issue. Now, let us not misremember Stuart Libby(the political insider who used that term to congress to protect Dick Cheney in the Outing of The CIA undercover operative. Senator Jeffries from Louisiana, was set up and caught red handed with cold cash(Really was cold it was 100,000 in shrink wrap bundles hidden in his own condos freezer) yet he still has the Gaul to deny any wrong doing. There are many more cases of our elected officials caught in Sex, lies and video but I want to cover other high profile groups that have doused the light of our moral beacon by urinating lies on it(actually some will deny this by saying they weren't urinating they were mispeeing) On to my favorite group, The Evangelist/church officials. How many preists have looked their parishioners and God in the face and deny, deny, deny! Recently the highest member of the Evangelist Church was accused of having sexual meeting with a male prostitute to smoke meth and have sex. He was confronted on national TV and of course angrely denied any wrong doing. And that the accusations must stop because of the harm "It's" (not him) is doing to his family! He makes me sick and the irony here is that if he had not publicly denounced Gays and been such a hypocrite his secret would probably still be secret. The deception that will soon come to light about misusing(stealing) church funds, to lead lavish life styles, by many TV evangilists(Congress has set up a sub-commitee to investigate) I hope they dont misinterpet their job here! Isn't funny that we dont have too many examples of Mis(anything) when you look at the music industy. Sure, Snoop Dog and Willy Nelson got arrested for weed and Amy Wynehouse was filmed smoking crack but they all accepted responsibility. Not since Milly vanilly has there been a huge scam.... Im a long way from done here....Barry Bonds, Rafeal Rimero, Micheal vick, OJ Simpson,5 time Gold medal winner Marion Jones, Most recent Tour de france winner, NFL teams cheating practices, horse racing, NBA Refs, Michael Jorden, Pete Rose, senetor Vitter, gov.Mccreavy, Ted Haskel, DC mayor Marian Berry, Detriot Mayor, Dade County police Cheif and last but surely not least Martha Stewart will all be coverd......Will the Truth set you Free? Lets ask OJ. This is not by any means a complete list of individuals, who have perjured themselves in front of a camera and natl/internatl audience. It is how ever a group that hold some type of public position that our children aspire to emmulate, idiolize or at least are fans of. Many have made multiple appearences after being accused, only to continue to lie! Does it still make us wonder how 38% of our future(children) believe it is acceptable to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead. What punisments have been delt? Suspended sentences, aquitals, pardons, community service, and in just a rare case or two here, jail time!

For the Patriots this could be renamed the Mike"Greybowl."Junior, i'ts time to start acting like a senior, can you Seau? Hey Wes it wasn't your Faulk.....And here is the real kicker(thats who should've been seen on 4th and thirteen) It's when it came to pressure the Pats would Seymore. To all the gamblers who bet on a hunch, that the G-Men in the Bowl would land a Knockout punch. I would have said, "If you think the Giants can handle the Brady Bunch, then you truly are out to lunch!" But, what wasn't known and is now obvious to see. Is how important the spy game in football can be. The Patriots have known this and have been caught in the act, the Giants used it win, but it was done with more tact. So, as a season of Perfection comes to a halt, lets look back to see who was really at fault. The coach of the Pats, a genius they call Bill, forgot the simplest of rules that would lead to their kill. If you live bye the sword, be prepared to die bye the sword. You see, the Giants had the help of an Angel(Not Devine). That's how they knew the plays and it seemed every sign. She would use ALL the ruthless weapons at her disposal(She sure has 'em). When it's all over she will laugh at his proposal. He was hoping for a horny Angel, instead got an Angel with horns! You see, this Angel has a "Tale"..She resides in NY an obvious Giants fan named Giselle. In order to extract the "victors secretes" he kept, she would wine him and dine and bed him where she slept. Its the oldest trick in the book. Belichick got what he deserved, for using hidden cameras to steal the plays that he took! "A rolling stone gathers no Moss" and during the playoffs it seemed like a stoned Moss keeps the Pats from rolling......

Lets start by saying that unless your making more than 90% off the population is making, then the any amount of taxes you pay will directly effect your day to day lives. Lets also agree that our Government, when acting on our behaves, needs to generate revenue to cover the costs of Governing. These include, but not limited to, National security, supporting any number of social services, relief efforts, study groups, policy makers(including Supreme Court, House of Rep, Senate, congress and congressional committees, etc. etc.). There are many many more, some no longer should be handled by the gov. Mail for example, and some that currently aren't should be, Energy production and distribution to name a couple that should be changed. The issue is kind of funny when you think about the fact that it was taxation that finally spurred on the revolution and our gaining of Independence from the British Empire. Tea anyone? Ok now, the big problem is how to tax individual citizens fairly to ensure there will be enough money to run the Government and provide for our safety and comfortable way of life equally. Well, i have an idea. Big surprise huh? Lets look at each citizen and what cost can be placed on all the activities one does daily, regardless of it's necessity.(there are some needs that we all share equally-National security is one) I believe that the more one consumes or uses services or products the Government provides the more one should pay. If for example, I don't own a vehicle and use public transportation for all my travel needs. Then I have becomes less of a cost burden on our federal and local highway system. Sure I still use but, not one person in one car using all the gas and wear and tear the same as car load of people. If I purchase as many products as is possible that are locally grown and/or produced then I once again save the government(not to mention the environment-I will get to that trust me) money. If I am a person who keeps myself as healthy as humanly possible do I not reduce the financial obligation of the Government? If I currently make 40k/yr and am single and decide to live a quite life as a hermit in the woods on land I own, why should I pay MORE taxes than a family of four who's household income is also 40k from one bread winner? Speaking of "bread" I've heard the analogy that life is like a Shit sandwich, the more bread you have the less shit you have to eat! Sounds pretty close..... Anyway, that family costs our government more in a consumer way than I do yet they will pay less. Doe that make sense? Now, one big problem today that is not really spotlighted, da da da! Illumination guy! Is the fact that a fast growing number of our work force and many small business owners(Convenience stores, laundry industry, ethnic restaurants, just about all Day's inns and Super 8 motels) are foreign. Whether illegal/undocumented or not they tend to be very hard working and VERY cost conscious. Meaning that they take the money they earn and either send it out of the country or save it (Usually under a mattress). Sure they are paying taxes which is good but has little to do with keeping the economy flowing. So as this segment grows they will undoubtedly have a larger impact on the US economy. Back to taxes. What im getting at is a system not unlike our federal park system on a nation tax scale. We all pay, and should, a percentage of taxes to maintain the national forrests and wildlife habitats. we all pay an equel amount whether you actually use that park or not. Thats good and ok. Then, if you ever have been to one of these parks you will find a cute, tiny, little(always liked how we say, "tiny little") gate house, usually near the ranger stations, that are all to happy to collect an entrance fee. You see those that use have to pay more. The beauty here is that it's a pay as you go/use policy. The highway system and transportation can also follow this same system everyone has a basic need for roads, highways, byways and bridges exactly like the parks. Then for addition use you pay an addition fee. Sales tax should be on the end user not the Production, transport/distrobution or wholesale/retail. I was required to pay sales tax on sales made in my Health Clubs and that was unfair because I was selling services not products.
