Random

Sorry I haven't updated the site. I know my loyal readers have been getting upset. So I apologize to both of you. Here are some random thoughts to keep you satisfied.

1. The protests in Paris are the the inevitable result of a leftist economy. Freeing up the markets seems unacceptable to the masses, who have a profound sense of entitlement after years of socialist-leaning economic policies. The irony of the situation is that the labor laws WOULD decrease the staggeringly high youth unemployment rate (currently 22% for would-be workers under age 26). Employers will not grow their workforce with the current laws which make it nearly impossible to fire an employee. With the proposed two year probationary period, the employing firm is given new freedom and flexibility and can find a broader, more productive work force. Productivity spurs economic growth. Entitlement, ew.

2. Cynthia McKinney used her race to unjustly smear a Capitol Police officer to cover her own abhorrible behavior. What an insult to those who truly experience the evils of racism. Excuses, ew.

3. Tom DeLay's resignation will ultimately help Republicans in November. Respected political observers have weighed in on the subject and most have come to the conclusion that Democrats will not be able to raise as much for their warchest in that district (anti-DeLay sentiment is strong). On the flip side, DeLay, a fund raising genius, will still work for the Republican running to replace him. He made his move early enough in the season so that it will be old news come November. Big money politicians, ew.

4. The immigration debate is dominating the news right now. One thing we can all agree on is that we should not be essentially told what to do by law-breakers waving the flags of foreign countries on our streets. I support the latest proposal, but with reservations. That will be an entire topic in my very next post, hopefully tomorrow. Procrastination, ew.

5. Phil Mickelson won his second Masters Tournament today. That is great. The Braves' bullpen blew a 9th inning lead in San Francisco today. That is awful. Chris Reitsma, ew.
