UP RISING IN EGYPT

"Go down Moses, way down in Egypt land. Tell ole Pharoah to let my people go."
Is it just me or does anyone else find it truly amazing that the last week is the first that we are hearing of discontent in Egypt. It is almost as though all of a sudden someone got an idea that they wanted to be "free." I thought that they were already free. What is really going on and for how long has it been going on? How long has this disgruntled spirit been erupting in Egypt? How long has our country been giving them millions of dollars in aid? And what the HELL for? We are having all kinds of financial problems and woes in America. But we always seem to have enough money to prop up other countries' militaries. I know that it is in the name of national security. But, if we just shored up our own military with the money we give away each year to Afghanistan, Egypt and whoever else, then no one would dare think to cross our borders.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

Some say that age is just a number and I agree with them.  In politics it is the number that can change the world. If you are accessing this blog and you are at least 18 years old and not registered to vote or registered to vote
and do not vote then your age is just a number.

So, to make it more than just a number, engage in the right that some fought and died for and others enjoy the benefits from. Age is just a number that can change the nation if you will find it important to exercise your right to vote each time that there is an election in this nation. No matter what your political views or fave politicians...please register to vote. Remember 2012 will be here before you know it.    

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that the Republican base in the house has plans to overturn the Health Care Bill prior to President Obama's State of the Union Address?  Did you know that a baby was recently turned down for coverage because he weighed in the 98 percentile for babies his age.  The insurance company called it a pre existing condition. Did you know that another baby was turned down for coverage because he was to skinny?  Again called a pre existing condition? Did you know that the Birthers are still trying to prove that President Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States?  What the HELL is really going on?
