Random Thoughts

On the radio this morning were reports in regard to all the work done in congress this past session. I listen to the ESPN affiliate here in Albuquerque, the Mike and Mike radio program and they subscribe to the AP radio news. AP as an objective newswire is a joke as there is neither so-called big government progressive policy nor leftist politician whom they can’t stump for. Anyway, the big news today is how the jus adjourned congress was the most “productive” in modern times. Stupid. It’s similar to how many district attorneys are judged by conviction rates instead of whether or not justice was done. It doesn’t matter how many thousand page bills the House of Representatives passes, it’s whether or not it is necessary and does anything as intended. Basically the rule should be first, do no harm. Taxes are going up. Unemployment is up and the national debt is a black hole.

The president loves to mention that the evil Republicans are counting on “progressives” staying home or some such nonsense. Such is the conceit of a politician who assumes that every correct thinking person agrees with his point of view. It’s amazing that the president cannot envision a world where in someone who disagrees with his policies has a point. Pathetic.

In reviewing the New Mexico gubernatorial debate, Diane Denish’s campaign is summed up by the AP radio news as calling Susana Martinez a liar. That’s exactly what a resident wants in a governor. Martinez has recently begun polling past 50% and all that is left for Denish is to make things up and unfurl personal attacks.

The democrat congressional campaign committee has an ad staring an elderly New Mexican woman ending “I don’t truss theeess Jhoon Barela”. The target is the evil Jon Barela and his support for taking away Social Security. Old habits die hard for donkeys I suppose.
