When Bush was first elected everything he did was news. I even thought that maybe how many times he visited the toliet and what kind of tissue he used would make it into the national news. Now, it takes something out of the ordinary before anyone pays any attention to what he does.

I hope it is soon that way with the Obama's. I don't give a rat's ass what kind of dress Michelle wears or whether his daughters will have a normal life. And futhermore, they can buy a dead dog for all I care.

A person is elected President to do a job and it's the job function I want to know about. I can give a damn about the person. Just like movie stars and other entertainers. Screw Award shows and scandal sheets. I don't care about their personal lives either so please quit trying to keep me informed.

"Even in this process, without saying too much, that was all about trying to end up with the right decision that could do the most things for the people of Illinois, and when the full truth is told, you will see precisely that," Blagojevich said.

This report of an interview with Gov. Blagojevich reminds me of many stories I've read about abusive, manipulative people, almost always men, who want to blame the victim and/or at least justify their actions by confusing the victim and making their own actions appear less evil and maybe downright beneficial for the victim.

It's kind of like being a victim of an armed robber who stuck a loaded pistol in your face. He then claims the loaded pistol was for your own protection because without it you might have resisted his attempts and with him being bigger than you he would have had to beat you up. " The pistol was the reason you walked away from this unharmed" he would claim. And as for taking your money? That was for your own benefit too: or at least the benefit of society.

You would have either wasted it or used it for a selfish purpose. The robber, on the orther hand, used it to help a man/woman/family stay off welfare thereby benefitting the whole of society and reducing the crimes against property in your city. Nevermind that he purchased illegal drugs to get high, or alcohol to get drunk , or both with the money he stole from you.

Yes, Governor, you do live on another planet.

Now that Christmas is over I can begin working on my next book. Unfortunately I have to go back to work and won't have a day off for four or five more days. I need peace and quite to write and with my wife working second it's difficult to work it out. She goes to work at four and I have to be in bed by seven most nights after a day off.

Christmas was great, especially for my Mom. I hope yours was as well.

Is anyone following the Caylee. Casey Anthony case. I was just wondering about the body found .3 miles from the Casey Anthony home and why with all the searches held my local authorities and equalsearch that no one found it. It seems one should start from ground zero and search outward but maybe the organizers figured no one would be stupid enough to hid a body that close to home.

Well, if one is so dumb as to lose their 2 year old and not report it to the police, they are about dumb enough to do anything.

In a way I am hoping it isn't Caylee but if it isn't that means another child is dead and Caylee is still missing. One child lost is one too many. Perish the thought that there be two out there.

It seems one of the big news items in science this week is that Christ may have been born in June. That should be news only to non-Christians. The faithful have acknowledged and accepted that probability for decades

Imagine you are still young and at the beach, staying in a nice hotel. After a day walking the sand, you head for your room to change into something for the evening and you hear some pretty cool musc coming from a band somewhere in the motel. After showering and changing into some shorts and a polo shirt, you decide to check out the local bars but you hear the music again and decide to check it out first.

You quickly discover it is a concert sponsored by the motel and it is free for motel quest. Knowing that you aren't really dressed properly for such an occasion but curious as to what the concert is really like, you enter.

Cool, you think.

You are just about to leave when you spot her across the room. She is the cutest person you can ever remember seeing and as reluctant as you are to let her see you dressed down at such a function, you cannot help but let yourself be drawn across the room. There she is, dressed in a sheer black dress and her black pumps, so tiny and sexy and oh so cute. You extent your hand and as she turns to look at you, you ask her to dance. To your surprise she takes your hand in hers and replies"I'd be delighted".

As you guide her onto the dance floor the music changes to a waltz. You hold her close and glide across the dance deck as if you were dancing on a cloud. You take a deep breath finding her scent to be intoxicating. After the song is finished you suggest that the two of you step onto the balcony to take in the views and a little fresh air.

The sun is setting and the color of the skies is breathtaking and the breeze is perfectly refreshing. Standing behind her with your arms around her. she pull her gently against your body. You feel the outline of of small body against you and are excited when her butt cheeks are resting gentle against your right thigh. You brush her hair aside with your chin and plant a quick kiss upon her right cheek. Just as you do this, you feel it--a small puff of warm air.
