Possum S. Hemmingway's Journal

I'm back in the saddle, prepared for action ! I've been spending a lot of time with a few ventures and keeping my other journal up to date. The AOL picture fiasco has been repaired and is bigger and better than ever. A million thanks to AOL journals editor Joe Loong and the "California Team" ! Joe worked very hard and had to put up with countless complaints and suggestings and he weathered the storm admirably.

Me? I'm doing fine (as far as I know). Things are good and Jimmy's Journal is running well. I haven't attended to this journal as much as I should lately as this journal is where I hide when I really want to play. But, here I am and here I go.

I've been watching the United States Congress and their 30,000+ earmarks (monies tacked on to and hidden in proposed bills, with these tax monies slated to be spent on some useless project, usually in the congressman's home area). These earmarks are supposed to be transparent, i.e., you have to sign your name to the earmarks and declare so before the bill passes. A lot of politicians have been contacted by the media and asked for a list of each representative's earmarks and their responses have been silence, no returned calls and stonewalling. 

Combine this with a less than 20% confidence vote of the American public and you have an enormous amount of useless congressional flesh who are leading this country down the porcelain receptacle. The useless illegal alien law, which is useless from the get-go, does not address the real problem.

The real problem is not the 20 million plus undocumented aliens in this country (yeah, I know they say less, but people in the know are very aware that their figure is low). What do do with them is not important until you build a wall and enforce the borders. Once the whole is plugged you can start to bail the water.

I see no reason, however, to give amnesty to these people. There are too many people waiting for citizenship who have gone about it in a proper, legal manner. Illegals to the rear of the line!

The next step would be to speed up the antiquated method of processing these people who have been waiting in line for years. I think its time for the politicians to try a new method of addressing these problems. It's called common sense !

Bottom line? What do you call 1,000 attorneys and 1,000 politicians at the bottom of the ocean? A Good Start ! That's it for now.... Time to get off the soapbox.

Stray Tuned !

  Hi Possum!  Just found out from your "dad" that you had a journal!  I like you!  I see you are political like your dad also.  You are quite intelligent!  Okay, I must run.
