all things considered, I'd rather be golfing.

some really good news today - in fact, no shortage of positive signs that things are headed into the crapper at record speed:

the first is that the average family lost 40% of their wealth (wrong term - the liberals want us to feel guilty that we own anything).  Myself - I am sure I lost more than that, but on average, our failure-in-chief has presided over an unprecidented catastrophe in economics.

the next story about how hope and change is working for us from big fan Bill.  it tells of the growth in the cell phone giveaway program.

so - the number of phones given away, and paid for by those who have lost 40% of their accumulated savings has gone up 500%.  hope and change.  nice job.  look at the mutts lined up for free phones.

another really positive sign is that the Chicago Public School system is patting itself on the back for the high percentage of graduates.  61% of the students that started high school are graduating.  wait...that means 39% are not.   and these teachers, led by the hippo-like union president, are threatening to strike?  for what?  how can they do worse at their job?

as a country, we have never been in worse shape.  leaderless, lawless, directionless.  this is bad. 

at least we have our peas to eat.

so, eacho peez.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
