THe 4th huh....

It's a day after the 4th of July I'm thinking about America, and our new President. The country has its hands full. Were at war on two fronts. The economy isn't bouncing back like it usually has during recessive times and Michael Jackson is still dead.

Concerning the war, America is in a precarious position, we have a lot of miltary men tied up between leaving Iraq and ramping up in Afghanistan. North Korea knows this, also Iran knows this. If you look at the saber rattling North Korea has been doing, they would really like to 'try us'. They have a million man army and quite a few scud and long range missiles that they would like to launch into Hawaii or California just to see how we would react. Iran likewise has a million man army and with us potentially at war on (3) fronts, they could decide to "pile on" and see if they could finally bring down the 'evil' empire.

If a scenario like this were to ever materialize we would have only one option- nukes. We don't have the man power to fight all of these wars. We could probably count on Israel, Great Britain and Canada to help out, but otherwise it would definitely be a nuclear war.

The drum beat is getting louder concerning the economy. We have the stimulus being rolled out slowly but surely, but not much has happened, people are still losing their jobs and the opposition (Rethugs) are gaining the upper hand concerning the bully pulpit. Everyday you're hearing more and more pundits on the cable news shows grilling Obama Administration talking heads about "where's the beef?" President Obama is out on the road again, holding town hall meetings. He usually only does this when the Indians (media) are circling. Something needs to break soon when it comes to jobs. If not, all bets are off for the 2010 Congressional elections, Democrats could take a bath.

The Michael Jackson circus is still in full throttle. The longer it goes on the more I have reservations concerning Mr. Michael Joeseph Jackson. The man was a straight up junkie, who if you do a little research on the net and look at the lawsuits and court filings from children in his entourage was likely also a pedophile, who had a enough money to beat the case. I tell my wife all the time, you can definitely buy yourself some justice in America if you can afford the price. Michael paid and was released of his burdens. What's going on now with the revisionist history of his latter life is something else. If it was Joe Blow who had the latter life of Michael Jackson it wouldn't be pretty, we'll leave it like like that.

Garden Tip: Tobacco and Coffee kill pests. Drop some chewing tobacco or coffee grinds into your watering can to get natural pest protection. But don't use too much, Nicotine and caffeine can also kill your plants if you use too much. A little dab will do you.
