Some days can be depressing.

Sometimes…… I just sit at my desk and read news coverage on assorted items that interest me and then again, I have no interest in.

People even tell me things , that make me wonder, in this case aloud.

Some of the things I read, to me,  make no intelligent sense what-so-ever.

We have a economic stemulus plan in effect that is absurd.

90% of the elected officials who voted for it.. have yet to read it.

Their only admitted interest is the pork that is headed for their respective state.

Unemployment is near 10%

Those that have hourly wage jobs are working less hours.

Even the union’s are working less hour’s in the construction trade.

There are many more ominous signs, yet the plan is working.

All the experts say it is….So what do we know?

We lower our education standards in Louisiana. But even with that we will  continue to have one of the higest drop out average’s around.

Large companys steer clear of areas with a less than 10th grade education  level.

Al Sharpton says M.Jackson was one of the ground breaking  first black singers..

What happened to Little Richard , Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Nat King Cole, etc, etc, etc.?

All of them much better singers and performers in their own way.

Yet we idolize a suspected child molester.

A group of neighborhood property owners in Alexandria ,complain about a home being used as a motel for workers with the men sleeping on air mattresses

in the home. (nothing happens)

They  sign a petition and even write their complaints down on paper. The zoning commission is contacted. The residents email all the information to the commission… It is ignored.

Yet the agent for the home is one of … if not the largest realtor company in town.

The list is endless. And mind numbing…

How do you maintain a positive position when you see and know about these things happening.

Yet life go’s on. Reminds me of the old Beatles song about life going on.

Oh well, I have rambled on about nothing new.
