Tales, Facts and Thoughts by Don Bobbitt
I was just wondering. You see, today I was watching a news network on my TV, you know which one. It's the one with over 75% (which seems like 90% after all these months) of their 24-hour coverage being about the Republican candidate for president and what he slips up and said to people 10, …

Here's my question. Jus How the Hell did we get to this place where we, the American Public, became so Jaded. We trust no one! NO ONE! Accept it, you're just like me, we don't believe anything that anyone says, especially the media, or as a result of the twisted news shows, even a Presidential …

Yeah, I watched the great CNN managed (prejudiced?) Republican debate on TV. And, honestly? I loved it. You might wonder why I, an avowed Independent voter my whole life, would spend several hours of his time watching such a circus. By independent, I mean, although I have voted religiously, in every election, I have never …

OK, Before you read this any further, please accept my apology for my obvious stupidity. I mean, I must be stupid, because at this point in our nation's history (and my life) there are so many things going on in our political process that I just don't understand, I get baffled easily. So, here …

DON BOBBITT A commentary on how both parties in Congress are working together to distract the public into believing that the reduction of benefits for Retirees, Seniors and Baby Boomers is necessary to reduce the federal deficit.

I know! It's a strange question, but I was just wondering. For most of my life, i could pick an argument whenever I wanted. People had opinions!

Roadside Sign I was listening to the news yesterday and there was an endless line of Congressmen marching in front of the cameras.

This little article includes my rant about the stupidity of Congress and their continuing inability ro agree to resolve issues. It is my opinion, mine only, and I do this, for no other reason than to lower my blood pressure. This is not an effort to change the minds (really?) of those that we have …
Ryan-pic by DonkeyHotey via flickr It seems that we Seniors are eating too much Chicken at the political picnic!And, if history is any lesson on how corporations and governments operate, I and the rest of us Boomers, are in serious trouble.
