STREAM OF BEING UNCONSCIOUS

"How long a minute is depends upon which side of the bathroom door you are".

I'm sure my brothers and my kids would agree.

Nobody asked but:

I was encouraged by the recent Supreme Court decision on Healthcare reform.

 Not necessarily by all the ramifications that will come and still have to be ironed out. But, by the logic of Justice Roberts and the crack in the door contained in his  majority opinion  that suggests maybe - some day - Congress will find a way to get off their political duffs -put  on their thinking caps - and once again see the wisdom of compromise.

Roberts, a noted conservative jurist - appointed by George W - without the vote of then Senator Obama - managed to look toward the common good as opposed to espousing a narrow minded philosophy that has taken on the aspects of a boiler plate..

The concern I've had - ever since "United" - was that our Supreme Court would merely be a mirror for the parties in power who put them there and fail to practice the independent thinking that would make the drafters of our Constitution proud and upon which we relied as a fairly reliable sign of the needed balance of power.

The picture of the scales of justice - naturally  appeals to one whose birth sign - the "suspect" Astrologists would have you believe depends upon same throughout his life and impacts the decisions he makes.

I plead guilty.

"Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once."

Once again some members of the media got the hottest news "wrong". This time it was CNN & our friends over at the Republican Broadcasting Company.

Perhaps the line above about "mistakes"  clarifies why our news sources are so willing to communicate untruths solely based upon their desire to be the first with the "scoop".

 A  few less scoops would be better for their reputation as well as my waistline. The fact that their legal representatives tried to spin their oversight by saying it was a natural mistake - scares the hell out of me.

"If Walmart is lowering prices every day how come nothing is free yet?"

There will be a lot written about the $4 billion projected government cost as the result of the court's decision.

Perhaps those critics in Congress can appease their concerns  by re-inviting the head of JPMorgan Chase to appear in front of them once again to now discuss how the alleged $2 billion loss he defended has now escalated to a rumored $9 billion at last count.

C'mon guys and gals - how can you say in good conscience that the rules governing the banks now and in the future (as proposed)  are too restrictive?

"Ever notice that the person who is always late is much jollier than the folks who have to wait for them?" 


The same is true for bloggers who don't know when to stop writing.
