Whats On My Mind Today
Tired Of The Game
I'm not much of a Sports fan, but I get bits and pieces of sports info whether I want it not cause its everywhere.. If I change channels on the radio I am most likely to hear at least one sports channel before I get to the station I'm lookin for, and if I go to the store, when I go to the front door to go in, I pass the news stand and there will be a Front Page visible that will usually have sports content on it..
Even our local radio station has about 5 minutes of news and 10 minutes of sports in their hourly news roundup.. I guess that lets you know just how much excitement happens around here !!
But I thank it was in one of those brief encounters with a sports report that I had a little bit of info stick in my mind and I have been "chewin" on it for several days now..
It has to do with "The Big Texan", Roger Clemens (or is it Clements), who signed a new contract the other day, or week.. They were commentin about the multi-million dollar contract that he got and about how much he would make per-game.. They were speculatin about how many games and how many innings he would pitch to earn all that money.. In the coarse of his "thankin out loud" he mentioned that few, if any, pitchers pitch an intire game any more, specially the older ones like Clemens..
That last sentence is what got me thankin.. Considerin that my mind is usually occupied with politics and military matters, I got to wonderin if maybe this same situation didnt apply to today's politics..
I began to wonder just how many of our military Brass has remained in the same place and position for the last 6 years and how many of Congress has the same people in the same positions as 6 years ago..
G.W. has been pitchin a lot of games in the last 6 years and Cheney has only been called in for relief a few times and has been mostly on the sidelines givin chatter and support..
What I'm gettin at is, do you thank the President is gettin tired and needs a relief to come in and pitch a few innins ?? Of coarse that relief means Cheney, and do you thank he is up to it himself ??
The last 2 years of a presidency is usually when the next generation leader is supposed to be put up for inspection and "trial by fire" to the public, and that next generation traditionally is the VP.. Cheney aint gonna be it this time so why hadnt G.W. replaced Cheney with his choice to be the next generation leader to get em in the spotlight and out front for inspection by the masses ??
But takin a long hard look at the situation and events of today in America, is it really wise to have a sittin VP on the campaign trail ?? Should our relief pitcher be saddled with bein the Number Two and also tryin to get his eggs in one basket to be elected to the Number One position ?? Is it not in the Countries best interest for the next generation leader to be out there unrestrained and meetin the masses on the streets and at the rallies instead of behind Secret Service and in meetins of National Security and Military importance ??
But at the same time, would it not be a "feather in their hat" to be in a position where we could see em in action and takin responsibility and how they act under the stress and what their "official" position is AFTER they have the FULL BRIEFIN on what the situation stands at ?? It bein, that most of the candidates out there today are talkin out there asses and dont know SHIT FROM SHINOLA about what America faces and what choices we have to affect the situation..
Hell, the (D)s caint even get their shit straight on Health Care or Social Security with all the info they already have on it !! Most of that stuff is just "common knowledge and Public Record" and the best they can come up with for a solution for that is SOCIALISM, so how can they honestly have a solution to Terrorism or Immigration or National Security when they dont have all the info to make a "good judgement call" on any of those pressin matters ??
I'm just wonderin bout the "plus or minus" effect of havin Fred Thompson be called up for duty as VP now that he has given his intent to enter the race .. Could Fred handle the dual-task of VP and Candidate, and how would it affect his electability bein on the Bush Team ?? Talk about Trial By Fire !!
Or, is there somebody else out there that would be a better replacement for Cheney ?? Somebody that it would be an advantage to, to be able to be privy to the info that the VP is authorized for ?? Somebody that it would be an asset to know certain details when they join the Civilian Force after/if The Hildebeast wins in '08 ?? "Inside Info" for the RIGHT person could be a definite advantage for our Country in the comin Trials and Tribulations that will eventually be forced upon us.. That person could do some needed lobbyin and activism should the (D)s get in this countries Drivers Seat by some unforseen horror..
I just thought I'd thro this out there since I aint seen anybody else bring up this subject in a long time but I'm sure that it will be dug up some time soon..
Like Charlie Daniels says on his SoapBox, "What do you thank" ??

I say throw them all out and elect you as prez. Seriously. The damned party system is broke and just not making it in today's world. You have a good head on your shoulders, not afraid to make hard decisions - unless it's regarding the Mrs! - love our country, served her, and are more qualified than the assholes out there today. I'll be your running mate!!
Seriously, WB, I just don't know the answer. I pray that idiot who panders to whomever she's speaking to does not get it. Fred, I'm just not sure of now. Found out he's a globalist. That is not acceptable to me but he's still the best qualified so far.
How can they get "on-the-job" experience, though, in the political arena today? Wait. That's a thought. Take the nominees, after the conventions, and let them run the country for a week each and see how they perform. Excellent idea, WB.
I'm writing you in! (Just kidding. Cannot take a vote away from a Republican or Independent if it means a Democrat will make it in!)
I'd like to see Bush resign today, Cheney appoint Pelosi as VP, bomb the shit out of Iran, then resign himself and let America get a taste of moonbatism for about a year.
Talk about energizing the conservative base.
I'm sick of the whole mess and everybody in the District of Columbia (otherwise known as the alternate universe).
To be honest I think I could pick a complete cabinet and a President and vice President from my retired and reserve military vets that I drink coffee with each weekend that would be better than any offered up by the normal political route.
Oh well, I'm not worried, God said that worrying is not a good thing and a reflection on Him.
I'm just going to try and get my family a better place to live and...
More Ammo.
