I’m back!  Sorry for the long hiatus, but with Kindergarten and all of the summer time activities it has proven hard to keep this blog rolling.  I promise to do better as 1st grade is right around the corner!

Just to bring you up to speed, since my last posting I have learned how to read (which has proven very handy when it comes to writing this blog) and swim, and I graduated from the big K, and I just made company at DC Dance Factory!  What can I say, I’m evolving.

Since it has been a while, I thought I would ease back into the blogosphere with a few items that I think you should think.

Turn signals — formally called directional indicators or directional signals, and informally known as “directionals,” “blinkers,” “indicators” or “flashers” — are signal lights mounted near the left and right front and rear corners of a vehicle, and sometimes on the sides, used to indicate to other drivers that the operator intends a lateral change of position (turn or lane change).

So what?

Well, evidently these nifty little things were available as early as 1907 and formally patented in 1938.

Unfortunately, newer cars most not have them because I keep hearing my Dad use bad words to describe people that don’t use them.  So, I think it would be good for my Dad’s long-term health if we all agreed to use our turn signals.

2 Party System – just when you thought that America had it all figured out, along comes Sarah Palin (R – Alaska) and Alvin Greene (D – South Carolina).

In case you don’t know them – I’ve included images of both.  One is Mommy Grizzly and the other is the Alphabetical Choice to be a Senator in South Carolina (lest you forget his pending charges for showing porn to a college student).

This proves that we need more options.

So, I’ve decided to start the Common Sense Party that runs on a very simple platform:

• Right-sized government the delivers services and does not pay its employees 2x what the private sector earns (look it up)
• Right-sized taxes that does not burden the rich or the poor (oh, and why is there a death tax?  Didn’t the person who died pay all the taxes on the wealth they generated – why should your government then take 40% – 60% of that?)
• Recognition that someone once indicated that church and state should be separate and in doing so, not use one to dictate the other

I’ve never been much for tea parties – to many things to clean-up.  I think we need more options.

Pundits - How many talking-heads does this country need?  Who made these individuals experts to have opinions in the first place?  Are they learned scholars that are espousing facts for consideration or are they blathering idiots (oops, that’s a bad word in our house) that are needlessly trying to scare people?

Oh wait, Glenn Beck is on the other line in tears begging me not to tell people to think that pundit are idiots (there I go again).  But, sometimes you need to let the video speak for itself.

Nice job here Glenn, in my neighborhood we call these guys creeps and pedophiles (unfortunately, I know that word), but I’m glad you gave this guy a forum to defend himself.

I’m glad I could share some of the things I think you should think.

Thinking is really not that hard – just don’t let others do it for you.  Wait, I mean . . .
