Dear readers, this is not one of my typical Politicially charged blogs. It is however something I needed to write about.
I for one love the game of golf. Everything about it, the social aspect, competition, good shots, bad shot, the betting on every shot, drinking a beer and smoking a cigar with my buddies…I love it all!!!
What happened this past Friday borders on insane. Not one or two but 10 network and cable TV stations aired Tiger’s apology tour. I have one question, WHO CARES?
Don’t we as a nation have bigger fish to fry, (little Lenten humor).
1. We have American soldiers fighting for our freedom over seas in two different wars.
2. We have double digit unemployment,
3. American’s are losing their homes because they can’t find work.
4. We have an administration that is trying to turn our wonderful country into the second coming of Russia under Stalin’s communistic policies.
5. We have American’s still living in FEMA trailers in New Orleans.
6. We still have a little crisis in Haiti.
I could go on but, I think you get the idea.
To think the world would stop what it was doing to watch as, perhaps one of the greatest golfer of all times had a press conference with no questions. Only invited guests were in attendance, as he read (poorly) from note cards. Are you kidding me? WHO CARES?
This man is a scum bucket end of story! He has bedded down more women than he has major championship trophies. And the golf community and golf fans around the world are comparing him with Jack Nicklaus.
What he did was wrong. Only he and his family should care. Anyone that bought anything with his name or logo on it to wear or gave it to your kids should return it for a full refund.
Kudos to the companies that kicked him to the curb for his incredibly poor choices.
These are my thoughts, I’m interested in yours. Post your comments on my blog.

Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District (PA-12) from DINO
Past this along to everyone in your address book that loves this country....
Below is a link regarding the 12th congressional race in PA. My friend and candidate for this congressional post is
Tim Burns. You have read my comments about Tim for Congress over the past couple months. Hopefully you went
to his website and did some research on your own. If not I invite you to visit his site, www.timburnsforcongress.com
What makes this race so interesting is; the 12th congressional district was held by John Murtha for over 36 years.
As you may know Congressman Murtha pass away a couple weeks ago. The democrat's never thought Mr Murtha
would loose his congressional seat. Then again the democratic never thought Mr. Murtha would pass away.
By no means do I mean any disrespect towards Congressman Murtha who served his country in Vietnam and as a US
Congressman. I pray for him and his family.
We have to think about the future. The future for you, me and most important our children. What will be left for them
when they graduate from college? A mountain of debt, no jobs, a socialized society? Come on, we as parents can do
better than that.
That is why I got involved in politicians and that is why I'm supporting Tim Burns. If you're like me, you watch Fox news,
get pissed off because no one is listening to the American people. This administration is spending money faster than
the presses can print it.
What can I do? I write my senators and congressmen. Why, do you think they're listening. I'd like to believe they are.
But I'm sure they're not.
What can I do? Run for congress, give up my day job and start calling everyone I know for support. Believe me the thought
has crossed my mind.
What can I do? I've decided to support a candidate for congress. Maybe it was luck or fate. I choose Tim Burns. I've had
several face to face meetings with Tim. I have found him to be someone I trust, someone I can support, someone that
will represent me and my wishes in Washington.
So, I did something, I'm going to ask you to do. I got out my pen and check book and wrote Tim a check in support of his
congressional campaign. Here's the kicker, I don't live in Tim's congressional district, which means I can't vote for him.
I know one thing, when Tim's elected and in office. I'll have a friend in DC. Someone that WILL NOT rubber stamp bills
because of a party or pressure from the likes of Nancy Pelosi.
JOIN ME AND SUPPORT A CANDIDATE THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE DIFFERENCE WE NEED. HELP ME SUPPORT
TIM BURNS FOR CONGRESS.
THANKS FOR READING SUCH A LONG BUT WORTH WHILE E-MAIL from DINO

John Murtha, Congressman, dies at age 77
I didn’t always agree with Mr Murtha’s politics. I can’t argue with his commitment to his country as a Vietman Vet and serving in Congress for 36 years. I pray for John Murtha and my deepest sympathy goes out the Murtha family.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A spokesman says Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a retired Marine Corps officer has died. He was 77.

How much is one billion
One Billion
INTERESTING..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many zeros in a billion?
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of it's releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans ..
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
what does it mean?
A.
Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.
B.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets$1,329,787.
C.
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.
