the controlled press



This is the whole discussion on the White House press control. Why have "freedom off the press"? Freedom of the press is a check and balance in America. Obama wants to push his agenda forward, and he sells stuff like government run health care, like the majority is on his side. He stacks the media coverage in his favor. But no opposing view is given a voice in his "town hall meetings". They pre select the questions, pre select the audience. He markets his views like someone doing an infomercial! When will the press start doing their job? They sure didn't do it during the campaign. They gave the hard questions to McCain and pitched softballs to Obama. So now Obama is toying with the idea of a tax on healthcare (McCain’s idea) and his foreign policy looks allot like the policy of Bush (look at his North Korean policy for example). Maybe President Obama is realizing the job is harder then it looked and he can not live up to all his grand ideas. He for example pushed his budget through, and did not give Congress time to read it. He did not put it online for days, as promised. This was going to be the “open and transparent” administration. Baloney!!! I want healthcare reform in America, but they should take the time to do what really works. They seem to be pushing to get "it" done, even if its a plan that will bankrupt the country. Doesn't anyone in Washington have any wisdom? They seem more then willing to kill the nation in an attempt to get "it" done!!! I personally think they should restrict lawsuits on Drs and hospitals. Doctors spend way too much trying to protect themselves from getting sued. They don't do medicine to help people, they do it to cover themselves from malpractice. Take lawyers out of the medical industry and you will save 50% of the costs of health care! McCain had a reasonable plan for health care but the democrats feel the US Government could do a much better job controlling it’s own program. It seems the democrats think we should nationalize everything because the government is just so much better at running everything!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
