Rachel Maddow is the guest on Olbermann s Countdown.  They discuss 27 years of tax cuts being the official policy of the government.  When politicians are saying that you should flush your money down the toilet rather than pay taxes, you have a problem.  I think that we can argue that many politicians have said that the government can t be trusted to spend your money wisely.  Why is that?  Either we are electing con artists or something else is going on.  Maybe we need to be smarter in who we elect.  Whether it is Republican or Democrat we trend to vote for folks that look nice.  We vote for folks that have great hair and a strong jaw.  Are there no thoughtful bookworms with terminal acne? We also need to figure out what we want from government.  If we want government to clean up natural disasters like Katrina and from that tornado in Kansas then we need to elect folks that can manage people and disasters.  I don t know maybe someone from human resources who deal with people and their needs every day.  It might be that we shouldn t continually elect lawyers.  I m not saying that we need to exclude lawyers but maybe there are some other types of people who would look out for our interest better than lawyers.  What else do we want from our government?  Maintain the roads and bridges.  I think that almost everyone would agree with that.  Then we need money for these projects.  On the other hand, we need to stop paying for stupid pet projects.  Maybe we need to elect accountants to Capital Hill.  They may not be the greatest campaigners but they sure could squeeze a penny. It is my opinion that we need to be better citizens. budget, campaigners, con artists, countdown, katrina, lawyers, natural disasters, Olbermann, pet projects, politicians, rachel maddow, roads and bridges

A friend of mine told me that everything in this country goes in cycles.   He was encouraging me not to get to whipped up about any one thing and things will even themselves out with time.  Who would have guessed that he was right.  The FCC who seemed to be rolling back the clock to the 1500 s was just slapped down by the US Court of Appeals.  Basically the court stated that if our President and Vice President could use these words in public then what s the problem. From WaPo: A federal appeals court tossed out an indecency ruling against Rupert Murdoch s Fox television network yesterday and broadly questioned whether the Federal Communications Commission has the right to police the airwaves for offensive language. In a 2 to 1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York ruled that the FCC went too far in issuing a 2006 decision against Fox Broadcasting for separate incidents in 2002 and 2003 after singer Cher and celebrity Nicole Richie each uttered an expletive on live television.  (more ) bono, cher, Dick Cheney, Domestic Issues, fcc, George Bush, Keith Olbermann, nicole richie, President George Bush, rachel maddow Download Countdown - FCC ruling
