They say the ancient stone cutters of the Orient would take 10,000 wacks at the rock before it would even show any signs of chipping and on the very next swing, it would break apart.

Many of us in this country are glad that our military never gave up the search for the man who sent all of those Americans to their deaths on September 111th all of those years ago. Many of us have waited and waited for this. I am sure that many of us thought it would never happen.

My favorite story from yesterday is the one where students and locals from around GW University sang "Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!"

No virgins in hell.

Read an article this morning where Sarah Palin gave a speech at a California college in the central valley. I know the area and the college. She laid the truth on the line when she basically said " the Feds are taking away the lives of farmers in that area due to a 3 inch fish". That story should be known by most already. The fish is obviously more important to libs than the people. Nothing new.

What is new in this story was buried at the bottom. State ( and liberal) Senator Leland Yee came out and said that Mrs. Palin should have done the speech for free because "some of the strudents cannot afford to go to college". He also stated that she should have done it gratis for the goodness of the college.

Ok here we go. Hey Leland buddy, do you do your job for free? Why don't you not take a salary this year becuase many in your state cannot afford things? Better yet, how about you and your colleagues, besides not taking a salary, lower all state fees, property taxes, and sales taxes for the goodness of the state? How about reversing some, or all of the states BS regulations that make it hard for folks to start a new business, or operate an ongoing one?

Leland, maybe you could find out for those students, how many of them that grew up in CA, while their parents paid taxes in that state, have to pay more tuition than some kid of an illegal who pays much less. Maybe you could stop charging the folks who live in CA, and have for a long long time, taxes to pay for illegals who come there and expect the world on a silver platter, ie.- free food, medical, housing, and other goodies.

I submit this to State Senator Leland Yee: You are the problem, not Sarah Palin!

No I did not stay up all night to watch the thing. I caught the high speed replay the next morning. Lots of great pics of the event were posted on the internet. This I garnered:

Not once did I see anyone covered head to toe in tats.

I never heard anyone drop the F-bomb.

Not one of the attendees showed up in drag.

The wedding was held in a church and the word God was spoken by the officiant.

The royals did not hire some out of date rock band from the 60's to do an intermission show.

The Queen looks great. Clean living I would guess.

And the best thing that I learned:

The Obamas did not get invited.

Another one? Come on. If a bunch of your colleagues have been getting in trouble for goofing off on the job, you would want to clean up your own act.

The FAA had to suspend (a bit too soft in my opinion) yet another air traffic idiot over the weekend. This clown was watching a DVD while working. Even funnier ( if you want to call it that) was he accidentally left the mic in the transmit position so that all of the pilots in the area could hear the movie, but none of them could transmit to the tower.

Obviously we have a problem in our air traffic control towers. It seems that everytime one of these folks gets caught, the FAA tells us that all is well and the problem is under control. And then Bammo!, another one bites the dust. Makes me want to go out and fly this week. Too late, already flew. Scary.

For one thing, the whole suspending of the worker is stupid. Firing without any recourse is the only way to go. These morons have lives at stake when they work. When they screw up people can die or get severely hurt.

Right now I am truly not sure about the brainpower therein. They are truly in a class by themselves.

Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him?

The big talk these days is when, not if, the price of gas will hit $5 per gallon. Take a quick look at the financial report this morning and you will see that the big 5 is probably not that far off.Yikes.

Next to the price of gas going up, the next biggest type of commodity that could cost all of us way too much money is food. And the price of food is going the same direction as the price of gas. Nowhere but up.

At the rate that both food and gas are increasing in value, or perceived value if you will, the 5 dollar gas may really get to us, but can you imagine if the price of corn hits...

One dollar per cob?

One dollar for a corn cob. How about a buck for a cucumber or a squash. I went to the store over the weekend and found that at the current ask price, tomatoes are about 50 cents each. Apples are about the same.

One dollar corn will be here before we know it.
