Some Things

I'll post eventually about Xiamen and Laos. I put up some pics on facebook. The problem now is my wireless network at home is down.

I have been thinking about politics, as I am known to do, recently. The whole deal with Rush Limbaugh is what got me started on it. Listening to some of vitrol he spews I couldn't help but think how stuck he (and most of the Republican Party too) is in the past. His whole deal is that whatever Reagan said we need to do and follow.

Please, get it together. Reagan was right for his time and had solutions and policies that responded to specific conditions and situations in the 80's. Right now the conditions we have are a far cry from the 80's so let's not keep looking back to that. Update your thinking. Cutting income taxes sounds great--except when you consider we did it the last 8 years and it didn't do much and that Americans pay more in payroll taxes than in income taxes.

Republicans--please get some new ideas and help us get out of this mess that we are in or, God forbid, work with Obama.

Then again, forget all that stuff I just wrote. You are struggling to find anything solid in your party, so you fall back on the lions of the past like Limbaugh and Newt. Please continue to follow everything they say they led you to glory in the past they will do so again.

I kid, but I hope they do follow Rush. That will do more than anything else to crush them as a legitimate electoral force.
