Oil

Is the only reason we care so much about the Middle East is because of their oil?  Is it that we want them all to have democracy, as we continue to banter about?  Weren't we happy enough when those countries were dictator led?  It seems...well...we are so dependent on that bloody oil...and we want to get it over there, not around here...Albeit, the stability of the world is rocked right now...the mid twenties of that region want a say in what they do...and they will get it...case in point, Gadhafi in Libya...he has shown that brutal leadership will lead to an overthrow...as we watch...

Unfortunately, the elected leaders of the local communities, have to figure a way to balance their budgets...and the only way to do so is to cut back...where do they do so?  Schools, fire department, police department, roads, parks, that type of public paid phenomena...and now the popular method is by cutting teachers...but first...they figure on busting the unions...and we have a major battle beginning...again...or...up the taxes...and get something out of nothing...hey, here I go...but how about reducing pay...and I mean by everyone...including the ridiculous leaders...governors, school superintendents, teachers, administrators, police, fire guys and gals...on and on...

So much less mundane...Dancing With The Stars...it has been used by quite a few to kick start their fledgling careers...you know who...and the latest rumored invitee...the "I'm not a witch" lady, who professes to be a member of the Tea Party, Ms. Odonnell...gosh, if true, won't that be fun...Max, your turn...

I need to rest up...by the way, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
