News ?

Gee, Arnold cheated on Maria... Imagine that. Like I needed the news media dumping that on me every five minutes or more during the morning news yesterday...

He's hollywood, do any of them stay faithful...
Heck for that matter look at the family she came from. Do any of them stay faithful... Surely that couldn't have shocked her!

Ya know, that is their personal business. What the heck does that have to do with news?

Arnie, I don't care how big, tough or anything else ya are, your an a**! Any man who would jeopardize his marriage and family just to get a little on the side, is a fool. But for that matter so is any woman who would...
It's sad though, because I had hoped that you didn't fit the mold of all the others in hollywood. But you proved me wrong... But I still like you as an actor. Your movies always were fun and interesting, hope they will be again.

As for Maria... Wonder if she'll be the same as Hillary and forgive the bum and stay with him...

That's about all I can say about them. But the news media will drum on about it for weeks. Or longer... Is that the news we need?

I don't think so, how about the news that Al-Qaida has a new leader. Yes, just because the other jerk was killed, it isn't over... So where is the celebrating now? Sorry folks, it's not over, just changing hands.
Wonder if any other country will take the lead in hunting down this loon... Doubt it, nope the US will be the lone world Sharif in hunting down another bad guy... Seems to me the rest of the world don't care if they run loose so unless he attacks us here then why should we... Isn't it kind of like helping neighbors that won't attempt to help themselves...

How about that the wise leaders in Washington DC decided that the big multi billion dollar oil companies still need and deserve their big tax breaks which come on the backs of the little tax payers... Maybe us little tax payers should form a group and start paying the politicians for what we want... But isn't that what our votes are for... I keep all the little stuff in the back of my mind until it's time to vote and use them to help me decide.
These big oil companies keep raising the prices they charge us and then cry for big tax breaks when they're making record earnings and getting them. So they rob us at the fuel pumps and again by keeping our taxes high because they won't pay their share...

The people started buying less gas which would cut into their record sky high profits, so the gas prices began coming down a bit. But when they do come down the people will start buying again and like always the prices will go back up but even higher. Happens every time... As a collective, we the consumers are to dumb to refuse to start buying again. Funny though, I lived through a time when we didn't need to buy everything that came out and didn't need to run every day. But today everyone seems to have a need to buy everything and always be on the go... No one wants to do without, even when they only throw most of the junk away after just a short while...

Hmm, maybe it's the same syndrome that is causing so many married people like Arnold to cheat on their wives, or wives to cheat on their husbands. They just can't see they have enough and a good thing already at home...

Oh well, I'll just smile while I keep working with my 1948 tractor that is bought, paid for and is fun to use. I'll keep smiling while I watch others who have to have everything new, then worry how to pay the bills. I'll keep smiling while I make do without all the junk that comes out. And I'll keep smiling as they cry...

Hope you can smile too!!! Have a great smiling day!

  1. We are most definitely a materialistic people. How much is enough? It never is. There will always be the next better model or upgrade or fashion change that people go crazy for. How about we say; "stuff you", to the gas company and start riding horses to town again? Or grow our own food, or remember how much fun it was to climb trees instead of shoot people to death on a tv screen. Okay so we can't all buy a horse and ride to town, but we definitely all need to make some changes. Even just one each to start with. Leave the car at home & take the bus. Take the kids to the park and turn off the tv. Go camping in a tent instead of the hotel Paradise at $200 a night. People just may find they like the simpler life, more than they thought! Another great post Ivan.
