HAPPY NEW YEAR (P)

I promised that I would get back to blogging in The New Year, so here goes... Allow me first and foremost to thank all of you who so kindly sent your well wishes, thoughts and prayers over the past few months, as they have been difficult at best and trying in many ways... Let me say, things are looking up in the new year... I'm in no way out of the woods financially, but the prospects are looking better for the company I work for and my beloved (T) in the lack of the real estate market is starting not one, but two part time jobs which will allow us to keep the wolves at bay...

I'm not going to reflect on the year that was, instead I'm choosing to concentrate on the year ahead of us...
(Most of these have transpired in the recent days, but will affect us in the New Year)

Here are a few random thoughts...

1. Janet Napolitano is out of the country, now would be a really good time to secure the borders, I mean really secure the borders... Sorry "Big Sis" you can't come back...
2. B.O. has announced that he wants to headquarter his reelection campaign in Chicago, seems he wants to run as a "Washington Outsider"... I think we should grant him his wish and insure the fact that he remains a Washington outsider, preferably as a private citizen...
3. The United States secretly helped the Russian government take possession of enough enriched uranium from the Ukraine to build two nuclear weapons... Looks like that S.T.A.R.T. is working really well, while Russia is in the process of helping Iran fuel their supposed nuclear power plants... OOOPS!!!!
4. B.O. has turned his focus on creating jobs... I feel better already...
5. Looks like Eric Holder is going to get help trying enemy combatants in civilian courts after B.O.'S latest recess appointment of James Cole as Deputy Attorney General... Seems this appointment was needed as Cole failed to get approval  from the Senate Judiciary Committee after his past consulting work with bailed-out insurance giant AIG... Cole so aptly considers terrorists to be in the same criminal realm as drug dealers...
6. I've got to disagree with Charles Krauthammer (which is rare, as we quadriplegics should stick together) and side with Art Laffer, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell in the absolute need to defund Obama Care... We must at every chance pull the funding from this travesty until we dethrone Obummer so we can repeal it entirely without the threat of a veto... 
7. Not that we're going to relax, but we need to hold Congress to their pledge to cut spending... No more defficit spending CAPEESH!!! (that's the 10% Italian running through my veins)
8. Now for the really important stuff, my GATORS need to take care of Penn State today, not only to send Urban Meyer out with a victory, but to welcome in new head coach Will Muschamp... GO GATORS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR...
