that snowstorm made a mess of things.  but it is melting today, so all will soon be well.  I am still counting on golfing in March. 

here are a couple good stories....

the ceo of Yahoo is making remote employees now work in the office.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2284828/Yahoo-boss-Marissa-Mayer-angers-employees-building-nursery-baby-office.html
but she has a nursery built next to her office, presumably to preserve her work/life balance.  I won't even mention that she was pregnant when hired, and had a leave right after starting.  I love when leadership of a company has one set of rules for them, and one set of rules for the people that do the work.  work/life balance, best places to work awards....really good ideas until a company realizes they need to treat their workers like dirt to get the job done.  know anyone that works at a place like that?  I do.  we all do.  we all work at a place like that.

and then there is this....abc editing out Michelle obama's comment about an assault gun used in the shooting of a youth in a high visability case
http://washingtonexaminer.com/abc-defends-editing-michelle-obamas-automatic-weapon-claim/article/2522628
she was not correct - it was a handgun.  but where is the outcry?  the correction by abc? 

rubio takes a sip of water during his state of the union rebuttal and there is speculation his political career is finished.  but these people lie and fabricate endlessly and there is no comment by anyone (other than fox news, I guess).....really shows where we are, doesn't it sheeple?

things are really bad, but michelle obama can present the best picture oscar, and do some silly dance with Jimmy Fallon....that is really important to us, isn't it?  the queen must be entertained.

the emperor is wearing no clothes.

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.
