I know What Else.

Ya know what? Charlie Sheen has the whole country exactly where he wants it. Talking about him, 24/7. He's crazy like a fox. It won't be long before every network in the world will be banging on his door begging him to sign with them. Just like he said they would.
Ya know what else? People are wondering why America hasn't stepped in to help the rebels in Libya. Well, Duh. We're only involved in two wars already. Where are we supposed to get the extra troops and equipment to do the right thing. Of course we could always try to do it on the cheap, again. But that hasn't worked so far in the two wars we've been fighting for far too long.
Ya know what else? Next year the Farm Subsidy Bill is set to expire. Question is, will it get renewed? I'll tell you this. With people like Michelle Bachmann and a number of other Tea-Partiers on the receiving end, Bachmann with $250,000 and others getting several million $$$, you can bet it has a better than average chance of continuing. But can you imagine Michelle Bachman getting $250,000 for farm subsidy? What's she got to do with farming? I thought farm subsidies were originally set up to help poor farmers survive hard times, floods and the like. Well, not any more. Now it's only job is to put tax in the pockets of rich politicians and agri-business.
Ya know what else? More states have joined Wisconsin in attempts to end Unions. Most people any more don't know why Unions were and are needed to protect workers. Have the Unions overstepped their justification? Sure. But what's needed is to cut back, not destroy. Just wait until you see what happens to workers in America if the Unions cease to exist as a viable representative of workers. Corporations are foaming at the mouth at the opportunities that will open up to them.  Why do they send manufacturing to other countries? Because of lower labor costs? Because they can get away with child labor, severe pollution and a whole host of other bad excuses. Given the chance, corporations will always take unfair advantage of labor.
Ya know what else? The wealthy don't much care about any of this stuff. In fact, they really aren't aware that people are suffering through a severe recession. It's just not on their radar. It's always warm and cozy for them. They just don't want to be bothered with the mundane.
Ya know what else? It's sunny out, in spite of everything I've said.
