<span style="font-size: large;">Well 2014 sure crept up on me. Haven't been keeping up w/blog. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Partly due to laziness, but I'm still in the 20th century. Old computer, no cellphone or other fancy stuff.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Myson did get us a new DVD/BluRay player w/Netflix. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Am unhappy that some of the classics like Casablanca, The Third Man & Citizen Kane don't make the list, but that's what I get </span>for living so long. Yeah, I remember Pearl Harbor. So many wars--so little learned. Stupidity and lying reign supreme in our gov't.</h2>
<h2>
Nuff said as only NSA will probably read this.</h2>

This may be bad news for those looking for my obit. Time will tell.</em></span></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #20124d;">Beeen getting some PT for my legs so I can walk better. Hope to come up with some bright ideas soon, butnothing right now.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #20124d;">My schedule revolves around my various Dr appts says it all. But my brain still functions somewhat.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #20124d; font-size: large;">So until we meet again, I'll be listening books on disc and listening to TheBlazeTV.

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Gone to a 60th high school reunion where more prominent classmates were missed.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Then there's an election coming up, C's long-lost cousin is bringing her two daughters to visit tomorrow. It's getting so I am in trouble for many comments, so I should keep my yap shut.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Too many Americans are totally disconnected from the real world and what is going on in it. I guess I should be glad I'm at the high end of the age time-line. Not good to be young and unemployed in this formerly great country. Amazing how many bad things one person to cause to happen. Especially if they are Pres and don't remember Pearl Harbor as some of us do.</span></b><br />

We fervently hope that the bill will be deemed unconstitutional. We can only wait and pray. I do NOT want to see the vile Ms Pelosi as Supreme Leader of Congress ever again. That was my worst nightmare come true.<br />Let us pray that the people have more sense. And how can O lie to the American people as he has?

After about 2 hours on the phone to them, I finally got the Internet up and running. I can hardly wait until they change my Internet address from verizon.net to frontier.com. Then,I can send out a notice of change of internet address to about 80 places. That should be great fun and a big waste of time.<br />Must catch up with the back mail and reading.<br />Tom </span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Those who don't learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.</div>Tom in Illinoishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570324961203796113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279700.post-18130555573285156602010-07-12T15:03:00.002-05:002010-07-12T15:19:08.288-05:00Summer Is Almost Gone<span style="font-weight:bold;">Where did all the Summer go? They seem to get shorter and shorter every year.<br />But then our Government is about to shorten our lives for us whether we like it or not. Bring on the Emanuels with their Death Panels. It looks like the big O can't fix or handle anything, but cares not as long as his Progressive Agenda changes our world forever. What do we expect from someone who voted Present most of the time, never balanced a budget or ran even a local government?<br />It's a good thing I read Rules For Radicals, by Alinsky back in the 60s or 70s. At the time I thought it was a great way to bring down our country. Little did I realize that others were taking Alinsky's words very seriously.<br />This is what happens when you outlive people making decisions. You are aware of so much stuff that they'll never learn!<br />Tom </span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Those who don't learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.</div>Tom in Illinoishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570324961203796113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279700.post-45401598150009295562010-03-29T14:29:00.000-05:002010-03-29T14:36:30.253-05:00Healthcare and Beyond<span style="font-weight: bold;">Now that Obamcare has been shoved down our throat, I suppose it's time for Cap 'N Tax and the rest of the Socialisst program.<br />The fact that the Prez flat-out lied about the cost and the coverage, bribed congress and doesn't seem to care about the safety of our country apparently doesn't bother his group of </span><span style="font-style: italic;">apparatchiks. <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">It certainly bothers about 2/3 of the country.
