The Rally Continues...

If I'm home at this time of day (it's 2p)I'm listening to CNBC on the TV while working in our office. The older I get the less I like TV, it's become mostly reality shows, court programs and home fix-it programs-nonsense. Today the unemployment numbers came out for July, all week different business oriented shows were making a big deal about if the number was going to be good or bad. As of recently like 5 months now, the stock market has been on tear. This has been while the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and my favorite Neil Boortz have been hammering President Obama about how he can't handle the economy and unemployment while trying to overhall healthcare. The unemployment number turned out to be good -going from 9.6 to 9.4, most economist had expected the number to rise. The rally continued on the Dow and S&P while President Obama gets some room to think and take a quick vacation with his family.

Health care town hall meetings across the country have been hectic. The meetings are being attended by Congressmen and women in their district . During these town hall meetings the dignitaries have been shouted down, threatened and surrounded and followed to their cars after the meetings. Paul Krugman in the New York Times today says this is the same crowd that attend the birther rallies and don't believe Obama was born in America. Democrat operatives have called on union members to rally around the Congress people and stand up to those that are trying to interrupt the democratic process in these meetings.

Now if one if these people have serious issues and disagreements with policies that are being discussed in these meetings, they definitely have the right to have their say. But if your coming to intimate the people who want to discuss and debate health care, then that's not cool. It also says a lot about that group of people. This is what people do when they have no new IDEAS, you have to be able to bring a different viewpoint a new idea that people want to rally behind.

Garden Tip: Here's something that I do -Plant White flowers around walkways and areas in the landscape they are the last plants to fade at dusk and kind of pop at night in outdoors situations. If you have potted plants on your deck or your front porch throws some white petunias, or pansy in to create interest in night settings.
