Kevin "Flag" Robinson Doing a fractional right now

We want a pitcher not a belly itcher. Remember that line? Any kids who played little league probably know it. We would yell it from the dugout when our guy was at bat. It was supposed to unnerve the pitcher, while at the same time making him realize that he was not doing the job.

What do you want to do? I don't know, what do you want to do? As kids most of us probably said one of these lines. We kind of knew what we wanted to do, but we were not sure the other person wanted to hear what we had to say. Or, we honestly did not have a clue what to do.

Have you ever been in an emergency situation with a friend or co-worker, and when it comes time to act, they freeze up? Instead of taking action, they just sit there. Their mind simply cannot process the information in a rational manner.

How many times have we all been in a meeting, and watched as a decision maker of sorts, is asked what they think should be done. Instead of taking the lead, and giving a decisive action oriented answer, they turn it around, and poll the room. Way to go.

Making a decision requires analytical abilities. We all make decisions everyday. Our decisions will effect our lives in some way. When we make decision that effect others, we may make some people angry. That is how decision making works. Not everyone will be happy with us. But we decide anyways.

What the hell is wrong with our President? How many months does it take? Does he have a clue? He keeps holding his finger up to the wind. Every week it is a new excuse. Now we are basically down to "my dog ate my homework". This man is either afraid to make the call or owes his allegiance to another entity besides the USA. It is becoming more evident everyday.

He wanted to be President. He is now the President. He is required to make decisions as the President. He knew that going in. Many people lives depend on his decisions.

I keep saying this but it needs to be said again.

Hey President: Shit or get off the pot!

He is supposed to be the Boss. Of what I do not know. Quite possibly some type of Old Geezer Society or something. A little memory problems going on.

Like the guy who told us there were 57 states, Bruce Springsteen may need to take a refresher geography class. Like a typical "I am smarter than you" lib, the singer may want to try his hand at the 5th grader challenge before he talks to the rest of us like we are dumb.

Bruce, Michigan and Ohio are not the same state. One starts with an M and the other an O. They are not spelled the same, they share no counties in common, and they even have two separate governments. No wonder Bruce supported John Kerry and our current President. Brain surgeon he is not.

In a concert on Friday, the Boss? yelled out "Hello Ohio" at the start, and then kept making Ohio comments throughout. Finally, his guitarist Steve Van Zandt had to help him out with a simple reminder in the ear. Too late though.

Maybe when he made his Nebraska album back in the day, he should have stayed there. Born in the USA? Well then learn the names of the states oh smart one.

The House of Representatives is a group of people who start work on Tuesday afternoon, and close down the shop, on a hard week, on Friday morning. The only time this grueling work week changes is when they need to be a bit sneaky. Kind of like last Saturday nights little party. Come in on a Saturday, play some solitaire on the computer (there are pictures of it), goof off a bit, but make sure that the media is not really present in the place, and then vote for something that may get you fired if you did it on a weekday.

For some reason, our elected idiots think that we all need this thing. They have decided that if a minority of Americans do not have health insurance, that the rest of us (majority), who do, need to kick down some more money to the good old IRS, so that our government can give away free stuff to the people who always seem to want free stuff. What work ethic?

I like the part where anyone who makes over $500K per year gets to pay another 5.4% to Uncle Sam. Why? Because it is not fair and our elected officials have convinced the people who don't make that amount that no one needs that kind of money. It is just not fair (say this line with a whiny lisp to get the full effect).

Even those of us who currently have health insurance will get to pay for others. Anyone who can't see that is a complete fool. We always get to and this will be no different. Many people on AR have posted parts of the bill on here. Read it. It is real simple. If you can't see how it will cost you money, call me or anyone else who has posted the bill. We will help you start a class action suit aginst your old schools.

Harry Reid knows where his bread is buttered. He is from Nevada. They are taking it in the shorts right now. Harry may not get to come back to DC to live like a king anymore. Back to Searchlight Nevada he will go. His numbers are weak and his chances are on life support. He came out and said he thinks the Senate should vote next year. But communism will not be stopped. Our other dictators (President and Speaker) want this thing passed. Their peeps want free healthcare.

It ain't over! Email your Senator. Email Harry. Let em know. We don't want this stuff.

About 1 mile from where I live is a great little place. Its actually a little grocery store. Even cooler is the fact that it is a drive through convenience store I think that it has been open for about 3 years and my kids and I may be its biggest customers.

Around here when the snow starts flying it is kind of nice to be able to go pick up some milk or soda or ice cream, and not have to get out of the car. The drive through portion is inside the building, so when you open your window or door, no snow comes in your car.

I will admit that I have bought lots of beer there on my way home on fridays, and lots of candy for the kids after church on sundays. I can't count how many times I have bought a new gas tank for my BBQ. There have been many times we have been having a party and run down to T's (the name of the place) for something that we forgot. I love that darn store.

When I drove through for a soda this morning the clerk informed me that the owners are closing up shop this weekend. Business is just too slow right now they can't make the numbers work. Besides the store, I am really going to miss the ladies that work there. I hope they can all find other work in this crummy economy.

Here in our little town, it is getting really hard to keep watching businesses go under. I wonder if the stimulus package is ever going to work? I have a feeling that when things do start to turn around there will be people who will claim that it is the SP. Great. There is an old line that goes like this:

A day late and a dollar short.

Work sucks. I have too much to do. I wish things would just slow down. My customers are jerks. I should have picked a different profession.

Most of us have complained about work before. It seems to be the human thing to do. But lets all remember a few things. For most of us, we do our work and then we get to go home. If we make a mistake at our work, we can probably fix it tomorrow. If we can't fix it, it simply costs us money. No one is trying to kill us. We do not have bullets coming at us from all directions. When we walk down a road, we don't worry about blowing ourselves up. Our friends lives do not depend on what we do at every turn. We get to eat real food at night. We get to take a real shower at night. Our loved ones are close by.

We take a lot for granted. Stuff that our fighting women and men do not get to have. But yet, they do it. They do it for their families and for all of us. They put up with stuff that most of us would not. We live like we do, because of them. I am free to write this because a solder from this country fought for my right to do so.

A lot of times we see some old guy wearing a military ball cap. We think about it for a split second. Or we see some young man in a wheelchair with a military shirt on. We think about it for a split second. Today is the day to think a little more. And then, tell them thanks.

America is great because of our veterans.
