Welcome to Oz, Russ!

Wow, is it ever hard to keep up!!

Yesterday, I left in the mid-morning and returned this morning. Tuned-in to catch up on the latest news, and found it's been another ordinary news day. Just one more day, and one more barrage of things nobody could make up without drinking lots of tequila.

Items:

1. The AIG disaster. Congressional Democrats are talking like conservatives or Republicans. It's the old "Cover your ass" game unfolding right before my eyes. I see they know the right words, so why can't they serve in such a sincere capacity when their cheeks aren't exposed? Phony, hypocritical, crooks.

2. The threat to veteran's insurance has made it to the front burner, and rightfully so. Even if this movement dies on the vine, the very consideration or attempt to do such a thing is an unbelievable shame and a slap in the face to everything this country stands for. And we have elected representatives who want free health care for illegal aliens!!! Oh, My God!!

3. Pelosi has publicly made the statement that our illegal immigration laws and enforcement of those laws are "UNAMERICAN". The laws were passed by our congress. Wait a minute!! Isn't that where she works and votes?

4. ACORN is in the process of recruiting 1.4 million employees to assist in conducting the 2010 census. Is somebody kidding me? Everyone has finally learned what ACORN is all about. They are under investigation in at least 14 states for voter fraud. That doesn't count the 2 states where they've already been convicted in voter fraud cases.

5. Sec of Treasury, Geithner declined to attend and testify in today's Congressional Sub Committee hearings on AIG. Yes, that would be the same Geithner who had all the inside info about the $165 million bonuses which is the prime point of the hearings.

6. While a U.S. Senator, Obama voted for the AIG bonuses, then as POTUS, he signed the stimulus bill which authorized the bonuses. Oh, even though it's possibly a trivial matter, Obama himself received in excess of $100, 000 from AIG. Today he spoke before heading to California and express his anger about this horrible AIG mess. Hmmm!

7. Homeland Security Chief, Janet Napolitano went on record to say she'll no longer use the term "Terrorism". It will be replaced by "Man caused disaster".
"Self", I said, "insurgent replaces terrorist, detainee replaces enemy combatant, man caused disaster replaces terrorism" Hot damn, bubba, I'm feeling safer and safer!

Recently I wake up and wonder where the hell I am, and how do I get back home to America. It's not funny, and I'm not laughing. What the hell is going on back there?

Remember that famous line when Dorothy woke up in Oz? " Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!" Welcome to Oz Russ..

Or maybe we fell through the looking glass with Alice.......
