Well Happy Birthday to me, and here's a little potpourri of I don't gets;
1. Sarah Palin went to Haiti on a humanitarian trip and stated "I've really enjoyed meeting this community...They are so full of joy." What? The people of Haiti are dirt poor, are in the midst of a cholera epidemic, are still reeling from the earthquake of one year ago, and are immersed in violence due to rioting. What about this looked like joy to her?
2. Prayer vigils by the people of Detroit for Aretha Franklin; people, pray she pays her taxes so you can have the services you deserve. Just what exactly has Aretha done lately for the city and the people who are rallying around her?
3. Mike Bishop said on many days in the Senate he felt his leadership was merely to stop policy proposals initiated by the governor and House. He then stated that he knows Governor Granholm didn't cause all of Michigan's problems but he doesn't think she ever developed a relationship with the Legislature. What? Let's see, I want to try and have a relationship with a group of people who I need to work with, but at every attempt this group's leader says NO! Relationships take two, two sides working in tandem Mike. But Mike doesn't get this.
4. Dan Akerson wants execs' pay rules eased. He is worried about losing top talent to other companies. So just forget about the guidelines that were put in place when the government gave GM the money that saved them, and just go back to doing what you were doing and let it happen all over again. Apparently he makes $9 million, but walked away from much more because he WANTED to work for GM, and he says "There's more to life than money." Does anyone else see the contradiction in all of this? Oh, and I just love when the filthy rich talk about how money is so unimportant! The reason there is more to their life than money is because they have the money to have a nice life! Idiots.
5. Mattel has created "Barbie Video Girl." The Barbie doll has an LCD screen on its back and shoots video through a lens hidden in the doll's necklace. Why?
So that's it for tonight. Happy Birthday to me.

There are so many people in the world that have sicknesses that money can't fix.
There are also many people who are poor but happy since they have health and a beautiful family.
I agree that money can not solve all of life's problems, does not buy happiness, and actually is the root of all evil. My point was, however, that I am tired of those who have so much telling the rest of us that it is time to sacrifice. We have been sacrificing, and we did not get us into the financial mess we are in, the wealthy did, because they just want more. I have said in previous blogs that I am very happy being a part of what was once a solid, working, middle class. I don't need nor do I want mansions and yachts, but I don't want to lose the home I have now, and forgive me if I offend anyone, I don't want to be part of the working poor. I don't like the fact that Dan Akerson thinks he can change the conditions of the bailout, and it frightens me that again, those who have will get more, and the rest of us will sacrifice.
