Merry Christmas to Left and Right

To All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular
practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, perrsonally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Obama and his Dobbie

Oops. Did I mention something about old college pictures in my prior post???? For any of my liberal readers, I want you to know that back in the '90s I had a shirt that had Slick Willy, saxophone in hand, with the bell full of, well you know.... This is not a racist post. And why do I feel the need to travel to Havana????

Uncle Bob's College Daze....

This is some sage advise from Uncle Bob. You never know when your past might catch up with you. Bob's friend, J.D., whose wife is Top Bunk Becky (a good story for another post) found this photo of me and J.D. on someone's Facespace page. The email came last week from my friend who advised to look past the chicks. We are in the background. That is I, Uncle Bob head down, apparently wearing yellow, college, circa 1995 studying a keg tapper, as I was unfamiliar with it's workings. Keep in mind that when this was taken, there was no myface or spacebook. Hell, at the time AlGore had just invented the Internet. And shortly thereafter proclaimed, sure seems to be warming, but I digress. My point it to be careful out there boys and girls as you never know what might pop up, from you college days.

End of Semester

Well, I haven't helped Lea out on her Poly-Sci class in some weeks. Not sure if she's getting it or I'm not getting it. Caused me to think back about my days in school, like it was only yesterday....

Obama's Bad Day...Oprah Gains 40...Rodney Looks @ 40

This blog is Uncle Bob's Take..so it's not so much that Rod's had a bad day, as it is the Chicago Machine, and by extension, Obambi has had a bad day. News broke today that the Gov. had been arrested. Among interesting sound bites, during a wiretapped November 10 call, a frustrated and financially strapped Rodney referred to Obama as a "mf'r" and said that he would not appoint an ally of the President-elect to the Senate vacancy if "I don't get anything." And then...In January's "O" magazine, Oprah details her recent struggles with an out-of-balance thyroid and how the condition made her develop "a fear of working out." She says she's gained 40 pounds since 2006, when she weighed 160. With any luck about the time Rod is serving his sentence Oprah will be able to make it to the jail with the saw safely hid in the not eaten cake. However, if she decides to eat the cake, we can expect an Obambi pardon for all parties involved.

Happy Thanksgiving from Uncle Bob

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels.

National Security Under Obama

I have seen leaked preparations for an Obama administration and we should all be afraid. Very afraid. If elected, he will have Spies, Like Us....

Where do you fit?

Just an observation about the public in general.

Ignorance is the most expensive commodity in this Country. Not only does it cost so much, it is in great supply.

Hillary Clinton's a nutcracker!

And to go with your Corkscrew Bill, you'll need the Hillary Clinton nutcracker.

Planning your election night party yet? Boy I am. Your party will not be complete without the Corkscrew Bill.

The Bailout

Some say it should be called a 'rescue'. I would agree. In that sometimes rescues fail. If a rescue fails, something is lost. And most assuredly something is being lost in this $700 billion, Save the World from Collapse bill.

I believe that it is socialism. Government getting involved in the markets. It is Marxism. Read it. Learn it. But don't live it. The market may take a hit for the next couple of days, weeks, or even months, it may be rough, but we have to look long term.

I also believe that w/theh bailout it will be longer due to government intervention versus letting the market correct itself.

You cannot let the 'what have you done for me lately' thinking intrude into long term thinking/planning for our financial planning and families.

It will not stop. Hasn't since Bear Stearns in March. Has it ?

We in this day and age are likely living in the lowest age of taxes that we'll ever see.

Why? Not including all these bailout's, real and proposed, we as a Generation are facing an explosion on the Medicare/Medicaid/S.S. entitlement front that will be devastating.

The markets need to correct themselves. The bottomline of this is people in homes that they could not afford. They are not to blame. It was their politicians who were buying their votes, via Fannie/Freddie, policies that gave them the opportunities. Who represented these folks, in mass? Democrats. I got plenty of documentation to back this up.

Seriously, how many can recall hearing about 100 % loans, no money down, interest only loans? Bad credit? No credit? Call now....

No shit there's issues.

Also, speculators that were buying and flipping and never having an intention of living there are in the mix and they should not be considered as 'harmed".

Finally, the quote that I want to leave you with and spurred my diatribe, from the Investors Business Daily, Sept. 26t, TX Rep, Jeb Hensarling:

"Once you lose your freedom to fail, you also lose your freedom to succeed, and you cease to be a free society."

And another thing. These politicians that got us in the mess want to run your health care. And then the phrase bend over will not apply to your annual physical.

Wall Street - Greed Is Good

Greed is Good

This may not be the best of timing for this to be my first post, but this is a favorite line of all time. Greed, for a lack of a better term, is good. Capitalism. Not the socialiest agenda now taking place in D.C. More on that to come.
