Smoochin the Moocher

    Well it's only been a day and I've already been called a "moocher" by Rush Limbaugh, a member of the "wanting something for nothing club" by Glenn Beck and part of a society who just want "stuff " by Bill O'Rielly. That's just those whose names I know, their callers were all saying the same thing, its just more of the 47% bullshit again.
    There are 17 states in this country who turn a profit, by that I mean they put more money in the government kitty than they take out. New Jersey is the most profitable. For every dollar they give the gov., they get $.61 back. Meaning $.39 go to others states.
    The other 16 states who turn a profit are, in order,Nevada, Conn., New Hampshire, Minnesota, Illinois, Delaware, California, New York. Are we noticing a trend here? Colorado, Mass., Washington, Mich., Texas, Florida and Oregon. 16 of the 17 states who turn a profit voted for President Obama, Texas being the only profitable state that went for Romney.
    We'll call these 17 states the givers, because they end up giving their money to other states. On the opposite end we have the takers, the 17 states who receive what Fox news likes to call, handouts. Starting with the worst they are Mississippi, New Mexico, Alaska, Louisiana, West Virginia, N. Dakota, Alabama, S. Dakota, Virginia, Kentucky, Montana, Hawaii, Maine, Arkansas, Oklahoma, S, Carolina and Missouri. 13 of the 17 states who receive the most money from those profitable states voted for Romney. And the Romney victories in these states weren't even close, the average margin of victory was 18% points. The second highest win for Romney was in West Virginia where he won every single county and 65% of the vote. Yet for every dollar WV puts into the gov. kitty, it pulls out $1.76.
    So, for my liberal friends, the next time your called a "moocher" because you voted for Obama remember this blog. For my friends on the right who have called us Obama voters "moochers", "freeloaders", or that mythical 47% (and I know you have) well, you can kiss my ass.

The Straw?

    Well now he's gone and done it. Could this be the straw that breaks the camels back?     I would think that most historians would agree that the last thing a presidential candidate should be doing is sitting in front of a computer at five in morning telling the world to check out this kickass new sex tape he just came across. That by itself might turn off a couple likely supporters but that's not what made so many other people upset. What Donald ultimately did is unforgivable to many, me included.     Americans take their celebrity sex tapes very seriously and he directed us to a lame ass tape taken from a reality TV show. How bogus is that? Hell, most people don't even think it's really sex and was just a stunt to draw viewers. Americans are used to top-of-line sex tapes, it's one of things we do best. You had half the adults in the country googling away for the next Pam and Tommy Lee but all they found was a frisky Ozzie and Harriott.That's not gonna win

All in a Days Work (part II)

    I know many will find this hard to believe but I spend a lot of time in church. Many different churches actually. From small churches out in the country, the kind that still have the tote board in the lobby that keeps track of attendance and donations, to big churches that take up a half a city block and in which I've actually gotten lost before. Most churches have security and/or fire systems in varying degrees of depth. Fire systems because jurisdictions require them in buildings where people gather and security due to the fact that some churches have sound and recording equipment that a lot of musicians would die for.     This week I had a call to make at a Freewill Baptist that, as Freewill Baptist churches go, is pretty big. When I called the Pastor to let him know I was on the way he said he would meet me there to unlock the door and my reaction was, cool, he's going to let me in to do my thing and I'll have an empty building with no impediments to get my work do

And Your Winner Is

    Who will be the next President?     When I look at polling one of the first ones that I cast out is a general election poll. They don't matter one iota because we use an electoral college to select our president. You can carry the popular vote and still lose, as we've witnessed before.     Using the Fox News interactive as of today Hillary has 205 electoral votes to Donalds 164 with 12 states undecided and 270 needed to win. The 12 undecided they have are Nev, Col, Ari, Iowa, Wisc, Mich, Ohio, Pa, Va, NC, Ga, and Fla.    538.com lists Wisc, Mich, Pa, and Vir as better than 80% to vote Hillary and Ga, Ari, Iowa are probably Trumps. That puts us at 264 to 197 leaving 5 states Nev, Ohio ,Fla, NC, and Col. All Hillary has to do is win one of those states. Even if it's just Nev and their 6 votes, it puts her at 270.
