Health officials no longer keeping accurate tally on actual swine flu cases? Link to the article here I hope the CDC and other health officials realize that their credibility comes into question now because of this. I don't doubt that there is a serious swine flu problem but will now hesitate and perhaps even be tempted to second quess their advise. Hopefully there is not some greedy pharmaceutical scheme to create mass hysteria and force the use of the swine flu vaccine. It would be terribly inconvenient to let the "facts" get in the way of their claims.

There is a lot of hype lately about the 2012 Dooms date courtesy of the Mayan Calender. Has anybody even considered the fact that the Mayan Calender is carved into stone. It was a bit more difficult to work with than lets say, a piece of paper! I think after all that carving they simply ran out of room. If a Mayan could just see how silly our "advanced civilization" is, they would probably laugh at us. This is a good example of how our society has lost the ability to think rationally on just about everything. I will stick my neck out here and predict that as the Mayan "Doomsday" date approaches you will see the same "Y2K" hysteria but on a grander scale if that were possible. Start stocking up on toilet paper and water bottles now. I would also recommend stocking up on Fruitcake. Have you ever noticed how long that stuff lasts and how it fills you up like a rock after just one bite? Oh no, I'm running out of room in this Blog space. You know what tha

Remember not long ago there was a fascination with "Magic Eye" pictures? I admit it took me a long time before I learned to actually see what was hidden in those pictures. At first I was almost convinced that there wasn't anything actually there. I suspected that it was some elaborate hoax and I for one did not want to be duped. Now that our young tender President has somehow managed to win the highly honored Nobel Peace Prize, I can't help but wonder what does the Norwegian Nobel Committee see in our President that I am missing. Whatever it is they see in him, I would like to see it too. I could just stare at his picture and hope that special enlightenment would come to me. That should be easy to do. You see his face everywhere. I would certainly have ample opportunity to gaze into his face til my eyes glazed over. Maybe I would see the "Magic" that so many people have been smitten with. I could listen to his speeches. So many speeches to choose from where

The Dalai Lama is a warrior of gentle peace and dignity. His weapons are words. I do not understand why President Obama is putting off meeting the Dalai Lama. I do not want to speculate but can't help but see what the priority is here. China is more important. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. If I knew what my country stands for these days perhaps I would not be so confused. It seems that if the issue involves things of personal interest to President Obama, wow, right to the top of the list. If its for something that might reflect well on our nation as a whole, what we used to stand for, what we used to try to be an example of, well, sorry guys, he'll get back to us later on that. He needs to "think" some more about that. Maybe he does. Maybe he just can't figure us out. Maybe he really does not know what to do about a lot of things. At least I have the common sense how to be a proper host to such an honored guest visiting our country. About those "f

Now is as good a time as any to put my own opinion into this Health Care Reform issue. I have many loved ones with inadequate health care. I do not feel it is your problem and don't want to force you to help care for them. It is a source of worry, concern and grief for any of us to see people we care about suffering. There are charitable causes that help, but the problems with health care are larger than these charities can handle by themselves. I would like to see some kind of reform, but not one that is going to steer us down a path of socialism or cost taxpayers so much that we become indentured servants to the government. I believe that there would probably be more funds available for providing affordable health care to LEGAL American Citizens and Residents if we changed our budget priorities. See, I can say this without yelling at a town hall meeting. Most people could listen without turning red and shouting an angry knee jerk reply. Why all the hostility we see in the media?
