Friday Free-For-All

Yes, it is the Friday Free-For-All.  But before we dive in, I need to let you know why there was no Free-For-All last week.

My wonderful grandmother passed away on March 2 at 98.  Wife, mother of three, grandmother of four, great-grandmother of two, friend, confidant.  She lived a full, rewarding life and left the way she wanted to – in her sleep.  She is missed.  So, as you pick a topic and discuss today, think of my grandmother, this entry is dedicated to her.

In Memory of Laura Arrington Chovan, 1910-2009.

So this Madoff fellow goes directly to jail without passing GO.  Does this mean the Ponzi Scheme being run by the government should also be convicted and sent to jail?  I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin.

A woman jumps from the North Springs MARTA Station ramp over 400 yesterday and later dies.  Shame.

Palin’s daughter and her fiance break up.  And this is news why?

In just 50 days, Congress has voted to spend about $1.2 trillion between the Stimulus and the Omnibus.  To put that in perspective, that’s about $24 billion a day, or about $1 billion an hour.  Is it me or is that kinda scary?

Is it me or is the Obama Administration like a bunch of teenagers hanging out during summer recess in a field like in “Dazed and Confused” basically running the country from the back of an envelope.

Timothy Geithner is a tax cheat.  And he runs the IRS.  Talk about creditability issues.

Headline:  “Dealing with Obama regime ‘unbelievably hard’ says British Government”.  What about reaching out to world governments.  Hell, at least Bush would return a phone call.

And could the honeymoon finally be over?  Obama’s approval numbers are now that of Bush’s in the same time in Bush’s first term – before 9/11.  Hmmmmm.  Does this mean the polls are now racist too?

Did you see this:  http://www.buzzfeed.com/endswell/octomom-costume-creeps-me-out-3f2  Priceless!!!

So this guy goes around and kills 9 in a couple of towns in south Alabama.  Do not get me wrong here – I grieve for the father who lost his wife and child as well as the other victim’s families.  But let’s not try to “blame” what this loser did on something/someone else like the LSM is doing.  The fact is that he did not make any productive contribution to his society, community, church, school, or life.  He says his dreams went unfulfilled.  Well sir, those that sit waiting to win the lottery or have their ship come in will be waiting for a very long time.  I wish he would have lived.  And had a picture of that 18-month girl tattooed on the palm of his hand.

Headline:  “Joaquin Phoenix involved in a brawl while performing at a Miami night club.”  Pyscho.  Can someone say “Andy Kauffman?”  Here’s my prediction – he’ll be dead in a year.

Fulton County begins to inventory everything in the county government.  Um, good luck with that.  Maybe it’ll be done when Sperm has his first grandkid.

Have I mentioned I love my job?  No really.  I REALLY LOVE IT!
