That right there is the problem! It’s a market need not a numbers need. What I mean is that every community is different and two communities of 100k people are going to have different hospital needs. So, why would the census help this or enhance? It’s a pure numbers poll.

The census shouldn’t determine the number of beds at a hospital. The market should…

Fire And Rain

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone 
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you 
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song 
I just can’t remember who to send it to 

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain 
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
But I always thought that I’d see you again 

Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus 
You’ve got to help me make a stand 
You’ve just got to see me through another day 
My body’s aching and my time is at hand 
And I won’t make it any other way 

Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain 
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
But I always thought that I’d see you again 

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun 
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around 
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things 
to come 
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground 

Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain 
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
But I always thought that I’d see you, baby, one more time again, now 

Thought I’d see you one more time again 
There’s just a few things coming my way this time around, now 
Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you fire and rain, now 

Here’s a pic of her just as a reminder!

Erin and I love you Brooklyn and will miss you very much….

A tax credit to encourage employers to create new jobs or extend hours worked is just the kind of direct subsidy that worked so well with the cash-for-clunkers program. That was about cars. This is about jobs and people, an unquestionable priority. The moral imperative to act aggressively is clear.

What? So, you want to give a tax-credit? Why don’t you just not take the money in the first place? His typically statist notion that the government knows best how to stimulate and manage job growth is baffling. The premise is basically this: We’re gonna take money from you and then give it back after we’ve filtered it through some government bureaucracy so that when you get it back it will be less than what you gave us but aren’t we AWESOME for giving you that money?!?

See, government can’t create jobs. They can only take money from the masses and then hand it back in the form of grants, subsidies or departments. But they actually don’t create any jobs themselves.

So, and I know you want my opinion, you wonder what I would do? I’d lower business taxes and fees to allow people to grow as they see fit. The jobs would follow but this isn’t popular thinking now because people have been brainwashed into believing that government holds the answers when in reality it’s the mirror.

When I first saw this I thought it was an Onion article. I mean it really is an amazingly farcical story. So, why did they give it to him?

- Closing Guantanamo? Not done…

- Withdrawing from two wars? Nope. 40000 more troops to Afghanistan and a delay in the Iraq withdrawal

- Stopping rendition and torture? Nope. He actually agreed with the Bush methods with regards to rendition. And rendition usually means torture is gonna follow.

So, a couple pretty speeches and an “audacity for hope” gets the prize? Well, I can’t be to upset. This is the same committee that gave one to Arafat…

Hurricanes, this is a fragile market and I LOVE hockey yet I can’t fork over that much cash in these current times. Please be smart….raising prices during an economic crisis is fucking stupid. Yeah, fucking stupid. I hope you get smart….not sure you will and then you’ll blame it on this area not being a hockey town yet we fucking back you in the playoffs big time.

Ya know what…screw yourself!

I have the latest greatest software which includes the latest Quicktime. I want to check out some of the videos at the apple site on the different apps like iChat, GarageBand, etc. But when I get there is says I need QuickTime to watch and even give me a link. I download it but can’t install cause I already have a newer version installed.

So, how do I fix this?

My question is do any of you feel the same way? You’re right-eye dominant and want people to sit on your right?
