Lets Release Those Big Money Balls

At long last, despite an awful lot of hand wringing/revisionist history/predictions of doom (delete as mood takes you) by nearly every member of the GOP against the plan, the Stimulus Bill was signed into law on Tuesday.

Almost straight away, a bridge building infrastructure project (you can't have an economy without bridges, roads and railways to transport those consumables, GOP take note!) began.

Tell The Truthiness Says ; Perhaps this will quieten down those members of congress who were opposed to the idea of the bill. The reason? They objected to the spending part of it. That's like buying a food mixer and objecting to the mushing up of the food it causes. That's the point!

Saunter To The White House 136 ; Obama Goes After McCain Financial Past

With the McCain campaign going negative on unfounded allegations, especially from Sarah Palin, on Obama, the Democratic campaign is now going after McCain's shady financial past.

The Obama campaign is going to push McCain's involvement in the Keating Five corruption scandal of the late 80s and early 90s.

Tell The Truthiness Says ; Will McCain began his rebuttal of questions on this with the, "I am a war hero you know", line? Probably. Bets now being taken, odds very short.

The US We All Remember......

Yesterday Illinois Senator Barack Obama made it official his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President. He made his declaration on the steps of the Old State Captiol, Springfield where President Lincoln made his famous 'divided house to stand together' speech.

Despite all the apparent hype that the media is saying is the sole reason for him being swept along, that he is young and inexperienced, there's one thing that is heavily on his side.

People like him.

They actually believe in what he talks about and the way he speaks about it.

For those outside the US and those within it's borders that have a memory that goes back further than September 2001, this is the type of US the rest of the World admires and wishes we get back to sooner rather than later.
