Welcome to the weekend. Been a long time since I sat down and did a weekend wrap.

After this week’s dog and pony show in Washington I think it will be a very, very long time before this country elects an inexperienced junior senator from the State of Illinois to the presidency again.

Arrogance on display at its finest.  “I’m the President”.  Yeah, we know that Obama. We are reminded every day the unemployment rate goes up, every time you bash Vegas, every time you stand in front of your TOTUS in front of six-graders, and etc.

President Barack Obama’s Blair House health care summit was billed as political theater — but it was so dull in parts, it’s hard to imagine anyone would demand a repeat performance.

And boring never looked so beautiful to House and Senate Republicans.

Seven thick hours of substantive policy discussion, preening and low-grade political clashes had Hill staffers nodding at their desks, policy mavens buzzing — and participants declaring the marathon C-SPAN-broadcast session a draw.

But in this case, the tie goes to Republicans, according to operatives on both sides of the aisle — because the stakes were so much higher for Democrats trying to build their case for ramming reform through using a 51-vote reconciliation tactic.

I couldn’t listen to it because I was at work, but man was twitter burning up with what was going on!!! Then Rush hit the airways at noon and from there I heard all the high and low parts. Obama’s snarky remark to John McCain about the campaign being over had me glad I wasn’t driving because I was laughing so hard at that statement I would have wrecked if not parked.   Sen. McCain said he was reminded of that every day.  Of course Obama thinks he’s some great professor and must “preach/teach” the masses what is and isn’t.  I really do believe this man thinks we are all a bunch of dumb brain dead idiots who need a King.   Not.So.Much.

The unemployment rate keeps rising (even after we were promised by King Obama that it wouldn’t go above 8% if we passed his stimulus package, but what’s a little lie between friends right?).  Sure, the O Administration can spin this and that number – mathematicians can make numbers do whatever the highest payer to them tells them to say.   No matter what report, or who, you listen to – the situation is bad and the O administration is making it worse.  Sure, extend unemployment payments to those that voted for you — keep them dependent on you O … maybe they will try and vote you back in office in 2012, but don’t go holding your breath.

Last Day of Work has put out Virtual Villagers – The Tree of Life.  The fourth in their series that I fell in love with a long time ago.  As I am typing this post, my little villagers are running around trying to clear rubble, build huts, and figure out how to safe the Tree of Life.

The SGM and I are finally fighting the last of the crud that attacked us about … oh … a month ago.  Everyone around us has been sick at some level or the other.  We’re tired of coughing, blowing our noses, etc.  He coughed so hard he threw his back and shoulder out!  Gal at work bruised her ribs from coughing.  This stuff was hard to get rid of, even with Z Packs of meds.   I hope everyone is well and if not, getting better.  Go to the doctor – get the meds you need.

Thanks for reading … comment if you like … but have a great day!  And weekend.
