25 September 2011A Very Presidential Golfer ?
Andrews AFB, MD
Hey, in case you missed it... President Obama got to go golfing again yesterday !
I'm sure he and his golfing buddy... former-Presidential golfer Bill Clinton... were deep in discussion between shots on the numerous ways he can say he will "create and save" millions more American jobs and get us out of this recession !!!
Yeah, right !
If the previous 23 times this year, nor the previous 81 times out golfing since he became Prez, haven't inspired Obama with dozens of successful solutions...
I just don't see how his next 82 times out golfing will help us either !!!
Do you ???

Solar Decathlon At The National Mall
Washington, D.C.
Well, let's see... it's pouring down rain for this collegiate "solar decathlon" sponsored by the Department of Energy... so there is not much generation going on (except maybe a whole lot of hot air being produced by students touting big promises of the near-future" lifetime of "possibly" FREE ENERGY... for a huge initial outlay, of course).
It was very expensive too, for the many colleges to build and send their model "houses" and student teams to D.C. for this "solar decathlon"...
BUT... never fear... "big daddy" (Dept. of Energy) with the deep taxpayer pockets has most graciously given each college that attended a "free" grant of $100,000 of our tax monies... just for stopping by.
I can't wait to see what earth-changing discoveries come out of this 1, 2, 3 or whatever-million dollar "decathlon" project !

Rallyin' The Congressional Black Caucus
Washington, D.C.
President Obama was in his element yesterday when he was rallyin' more of his "troops"... his staunchest supporters... at the Congressional Black Caucus in D.C.
He got them all fired up with his rhetoric...
especially when it turned from his usual Harvard loftiness...
to some sort of half-southern, half-from da neighborhood, and half-good ol' boy talk...
where President Obama urged his followers to "stop cryin' ", "stop grumblin' " and "stop complainin' "... and go "put on your marching shoes" to follow him into battle for jobs and opportunity.
He even threw in a few well placed "y'alls" just for good measure.
He will need their undying support come election time... so he needs to re-convince them that he is REALLY just like one-of-them (all the regular, little folks of anytown America).
It's not working yet... but it still might !
Maybe a few more "good ol' boy" speeches will do the trick... eh ?

Jail Cell or Church Pew... Their Choice !
Bay Minette, Alabama
Now, they're thinking !
It used to be "Do you want to join the Army... or do you want to go to Jail ?"
Now a southern Alabama judge is giving misdemeanor offenders in his district a clear choice, too:
"Do you want to go to Church... or do you want to go to Jail ?"
A clever twist on sentencing that allows the offender to have his/her charges dropped completely if he/she chooses the church option for 52 Sundays in a row !
Locally 56 churches have gained "parishioners" and it is actually changing the perspectives and lives of many of those enforced attendees.
"BRAVO", I say...
another American judge with values, guts, and some initiative for the good of all !!!
