Blog Bits

Anyone remember five years ago during the last flu vaccination shortage and just who was to blame? Presidential candidate John Kerry even ran a television commercial blaming one George W.

Prize for most moronic commentary during World Series Game One has to go to Tim McCarver, who said in the bottom of the sixth: “The leftfielder is really not responsible for the ball hit down the right field line.” Thank goodness we have expert former Major League ballplayers available to give us THAT kind of insightful analysis.

This single line in today’s Associated Press story saying the Administration miscounted the number of jobs created by the stimulus package has to get anybody’s blood boiling, but particularly the poor guy who is out of work and had hope that the Federal program would help him: “A Florida child care center said its stimulus money saved 129 jobs but used the money on raises for existing employees.” The AP story must be entirely true and accurate seeing as it was posted on MSNBC.com.

I wrote a blog entry on mammograms and the gubernatorial campaign, but after being told by some close friends that I am not permitted to comment on the sensitive topic because I’m a guy, I didn’t post it. If you disagree with them, let me know. I am easily swayed.
