A new twist on an old favorite

By your request G

A song that was recorded during the time when the Beatles union began to fracture. While the tune is somewhat buoyant, it is indicative of descension or disagreement in the ranks just by it's lyrics. I guess a song that reflects many human relationships in various stages. I would think that the song could've just as easily been called "Yes and No". But, "Hello Goodbye" indicates movement and direction. Coming and going. Not a stationary standoff of opposites. Still, a good song and a good video. A bit of sadness though as the lads are waving goodbye in the suits they wore early on in the band's career. Like bidding farwell to innocence or a time that you can no longer return to. Sad, but necessary sometimes. And sometimes you don't have to say goodbye. You just have to say timeout and then hello again. Sadly, this never happened with the Beatles and then it was too late. May that not be the case for any of us.

From possibly the greatest movie soundtrack

This song is from a movie about an era that reminds of an era in my own life. I guess that is what alot of movies(and songs) do. We remember the time we saw a movie about another time. Two different era's. One memory.

Hard to believe that this song is as old as me. But unlike myself, it seems to get better with time.

GM to Build New Vehicle at Plant in Mexico
Will invest $500 million at plant in Ramos Arispe

Yes, GM, so generously bailed out with the hard earned money of American taxpayers is building a new car plant. This means as Joe Biden so precisely stated... "A three letter word, JOBS!". Unfortunately, these jobs will be going to Mexico. Our money which the government took from us to bailout a failed car company is going to build a new car plant on foreign soil. Where is the outcry? Where is the media? Where are the unions?

Though with headlines like this I may be rethinking my stance on securing our southern border. Just as illegal aliens come across the U.S. border seeking employment, maybe this can work both ways. Maybe the unemployed masses who helped to fund the GM bailout can go south of the border to get a job at this new car plant. Of course Mexico's standards for entering their country are far more stringent than those of their neighbor to the north. I doubt if caught, that these tresspassers will be rewarded with free healthcare, amnesty, or be able to send any of the peso's earned back home to feed their families.

So yes, the Obama regime is creating jobs just as they promised. It's just too bad they are not in the U.S. We can only hope that there will arise a need for illegal Americans to sneak into Mexico to do the jobs other Mexicans just won't do. Ironically, then maybe those on the other side of the border would join the outcry in this country to build the fence and protect the border.

Senate approves jobs bill to stop teacher layoffs

By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer Andrew Taylor, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 26 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Congress is moving rapidly just weeks before the start of the school year to speed billions of dollars in emergency education aid to states in hopes of reversing the layoffs of tens of thousands of teachers.

Some $10 billion in aid to school districts is set to flow after a 61-39 Senate vote Thursday — to be followed quickly by a House vote next week — in hopes that it will come in time for many school districts to reconsider teacher layoffs.

Thursday's vote was a hard-earned but partial victory for Democrats and President Barack Obama. Advocates said it could save the jobs of up to 300,000 teachers, police and other public workers.


BT comment: While more than half of the almost $800 billion allocated by the Obama regime for economic stimulus sits idle(that's our money), these thieves have picked another $26 billion from the public's pockets to "save" public sector jobs. Jobs that were supposedly going to be saved by the money in the stimulus package. I don't know which is more insatiable. Their lust for power or their unappeasable greed. And if you oppose any additional confiscation of your hard earned money for pet projects or special interests you are labeled a hater. I for one am tired of being robbed in broad daylight with the stroke of a pen and then being told that I am a heartless fiend.
I want to ask where the rest of the stimulus money is and when or how it will be spent. But I am pretty sure that I already know the answer. I believe it is a re-election slush fund for Obama and the Democrats that will flow in torrents to buy and keep power. Sure, I could be wrong. Either way, the money will be misallocated and still the question looms. Why is not being spent now for the very things it was originally intended and promised to avert by Obama?

The Progressive Pachyderm

Today Mr. Obama's second Supreme Court Nominee was confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. A progressive and a liberal, Ms. Kagan will predictably judge left, to far left while all but ignoring the Constitution. It is certainly the president's perogative to nominate whomever he sees fit. Or unfit in this case. However, it is those who cast their votes to approve or deny the nomination that may be the bigger part of the problem. Enter, Lindsey Graham.



Now I expect progressive liberals to vote... well, liberally. Anything to advance their agenda. They can couch or spin any way they choose, but in the end they are going to vote for anything that advances their Socialist agenda. I get that. But, it is the limp-wristed RINO's like Lindsey Graham that truly irk me. And in the past, Arlen Spector. I'm sure that Senator Graham was quite taken with the nominee's masculine persona that he could only dream of one day possessing himself. All the while believing that his constituents aren't intelligent or nuanced enough to understand his reasoning for voting to confirm Kagan. Commonly referred to by me as "John Mccain's B*tch" (no offense to the female gender), this man is a latent lackey of liberalism. I wish that he, like Arlen Spector, would come out of the closet and freely profess his progressive proclivities and go to the other side of the aisle.

There were a few other RINO's (Collins and Snow of Maine) who predictably voted for Kagan also. They irk me too, but not near as much as Graham. I guess, worse than a man who sounds like a chick, is a Republican who votes like a liberal Democrat. It doesn't help that Lindsey Graham is both. Let this be his last term as a Republican and may he go the way of that trailblazing RINO, Arlen Spector in the next election cycle.
