Oh, dat lucky ol sun.......

I think maybe Obama’s kind’a like the rooster that thinks his crowing makes the sun come up in the morning.....‘n boy o boy, Governor Patterson in New York has got the Obama mojo working the way it’s s’pozed to.....He just gave the non-working poor (voters all) $200 per child to spend any way they want to.....OSTENSIBLY money supposed t’be spent on school supplies but there is no hindrance, at least no State sponsored hindrance on how the money is spent....sooo...evidently in New York State, there has been a run on teevee’s, video games, beer ‘n licquor, etc......ah well, that poor ignorant deprived underclass just doesn’t understand the importance of designer jeans, the 'right' sneakers 'n backpacks, etc....
What amazes me most, I think, is that all the educated elite Liberals have studied the ‘bread ‘n circuses’ of ancient Rome (of course they have) but they must evidently view themselves as the chosen ones who will lead the mob.....the leaders who will have the perks of leadership, ie; the limos, the penthouses, the country homes, unlimited and free medical care for life....the ones that Orwell referred to ‘as some animals more equal than others’......
Well, quoting Steve Martin, “Excuuussseee Meeee..”... See, I was born during the Great Depression of the twentieth century ‘n hopefully I’ll live to see the end of this first depression of the twenty-first century ‘n I grew up with the concept (drilled into me by my parents ‘n grandparents ‘n almost ever’ other adult I knew) that if you wanted anything in this world, you had to work for it. And that famously included food, shelter, education and, yes, medical care.
Eastern Kentucky where I grew up is a hard-scrabble kind of place with more than its fair share of poor people. But in a land where the necessities of life came hard, there was an abundance of faith, hope and charity.
And the greatest of these is charity. People who have little always give more of what they have than wealthy people.
This country doesn’t need ‘free’ medical care for its citizenry. No country needs that. And besides, it ain’t free. We don’t need to overhaul our healthcare system. We need to overhaul our welfare system.
There is dignity in work and people need to work. First, they need to work for the basics. And when that is satisfied, when they have achieved responsibility for their own lives, that’s when other goals come into play. That’ll be the time to work for what is essentially the ‘toys’ that we seem to admire so much.

Okay! Maybe that’s enuff ranting for one nite....
