Why is the news media so fascinated by the first 100 days of a Presidency? I heard one journalist explain it is because Franklin Delano Roosevelt set a bench mark for accomplishments. Funny thing, I don't remember the press raising a big deal on JFK's, LBJ, RMN, or RR's first 100 days, but maybe its because we didn't have ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CNN-HL, CNBC, MSNBC, FOX, BBC, ET AL, trying to fill our 24/7/365 with worthless trivia.
H1N1 -- Wow, after all the discussion on the news this weekend about pandemics and the scourge of the swine flu I am sure we are all going to die.
Vacation Planning and AADD -- right, that will happen!
Golf -- I love the game for its demand on self control and occasional reward of a good shot.
Cats -- can't live with them, can't make slippers out of them.
"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" -- I don't think Tennyson ever married!
Saving for a rainy day does not mean you spend each rainy day in the mall!
Obesity -- if you are on a beach and the crowd gathers around and tries to roll you back into the surf, you're obese!
Gun Control and the 2nd Amendment -- I don't think the founding fathers considered assault rifles as necessary for a common defense. If AK-47's are okay, then why not M1A1 tanks for that rush hour commute?
