Warmth of snow

The snow fell as forecasted. We got about 4-6 inches which was quite a bit less than the 8-16 inches “Hurricane” Schwartz predicted. Who cares, at least we got some snow. Nothing infuriates me more than when snow is called for and nothing but a beautiful day shows up. My plan was to spend the snow day watching morning television- just like when I was a kid. I couldn’t find any channel showing episodes of Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, I Dream of Jeannie, McHale’s Navy, F-Troop, or The Brady Bunch! Instead I watched Good Morning America or was it the Today Show? I don’t know. I just flipped through the different channels. Every show talked about two things… (1) how we must save money because our country is in a serious financial crisis and we need to start washing out and reusing Ziploc bags AND (2) Barack O’Bama is absolutely wonderful, elegant and articulate and his wife Michelle is just so classy and well-dressed. Watching this crap, I began to worry that my brain really was about to turn to jelly and so I decided to just turn it off.

    This quotation defines the Obama Kleptocracy:

    “Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.”

    My father sent me this quote today:

    You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

    What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

    The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

    When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,
    and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

    You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

    ~~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 – 2005 ~~~~~

    Back in the 1980s Reagan said that government should
    provide a safety net for people in need, not a hammock
    for them to sleep in. Naturally that kind of common sense statement was greated with catcalls from the usual suspects…the suspects that just put Obama into office.

    Ok obviously I’m outnumbered here but have you noticed in the past…oh 30 or so years that whenever a republican leaves office the economy is sh*t? Republicans do their own form of over legislating they just focus on what goes on in our homes and how to help the rich get richer. If government didn’t do the little bit of interfering it’s doing now…we’d have our own version of the Russian Revolution. The downtrodden will only put up with so much.

    Steve was flipping through our Dish Network channels and was surprised to find “ALF” on one of the channels. It is a higher one that I usually don’t get up to when I am flipping. It is called WGN America. I looked through the lineup and among the programs they show during the day, are 2 back to back episodes each of “Bewitched” and “I Dream of Jeannie” starting at 2 PM. They also show “Newhart,” “WKRP In Cincinatti,” “The Honeymooners,” and “The Beverly Hillbillies.”
