What is Wrong with the Economy?

Seems when we got so anal about the Wisconsin Supreme Court voting to pass the anti Government worker bill we were not actually dealing with all the facts. It was not the Conservatives that all voted for striking down Sumi. The three that voted FOR WORKERS were the three judges with the most seniority. Not the 3 liberal judges.One conservative judge voted for and one liberal judge voted against.

So it seems now liberals have to recall one of their own?

Then it sounds like Wisconsin taxpayers will have to spend $500,000 of our own money to fund the six republicans that are running as democrat's in the recall primaries. Yea -seems fair - we're broke you know.

What is wrong with the economy?   This makes so much freaking sense - share it.

The Columbus Horse & Carriage Festival is this weekend. This year once again it is free and before I was told I could not take photographs a couple years ago and decided to screw it . . . it was pretty cool. Now under new management it is once again free. If you are a horse fan or carriage fan you should come up and take a peak at it. Columbus has one of the worlds foremost horseless carriage restorers and ships worldwide. Check it out. They have a facebook page.

Don't worry about weather  - we  have rain coming after midnight tonight and lasting to about 8ish tomorrow morning.  We will hit 80 today about 3:00, drop down to 62 after midnight and when it starts raining the temps will also start warming reaching 79 tomorrow about 2:00 in the afternoon. Sprinkles or a passing storm in the afternoon.

At the Royal Ascot horse race in England they were showing off their new hats - I'm hoping we will have the same in Columbus - that would ROCK!!!

McDonalds Big Breakfast is my favorite breakfast from a fast food place and it seems it gets an "F" for nutrition.  WHY!!!     OK it has 740 calories!  Where are those coming from anyway.  If I make the same breakfast at home is it equally as bad?


 Let's take a look here.  McDonalds vs. HOME made

Eggs - 170 calories  10g Fat  is this normal?
    2 eggs - 204 calories  14.4g Fat

Sausage Patty - 170 calories  15g Fat
  Bacon 3 slices Oscar Meyer -  70 calories  4.5g Fat

 Hash Browns - 150 calories  9g Fat
     Simply Potatoes hash Browns  -  70 calories  0g Fat

 Biscuit -  260 calories  12g Fat - hole crap! (does not include butter)
    Toast  - 130 calories  1.8g Fat (does not include butter)

So a McDonalds Big Breakfast is 740 calories with 48 grams of fat - if I make the equivalent home cooked meal the damage is 474 calories and 20.8g fat.   So basically I could eat TWO of my breakfast's - THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!!!

Going to the Duck Pond Saturday night with the Wort Hogs. Too bad the Mallards have mostly yellow fizzy corn beer except for the Great Dane Brewery.  I guess they are holding down costs! I'll have my camera!!

------------------------------------------

I watched a special on the Japan earthquake/tsunami and for the 1st time I saw people running and cars fleeing or trying to flee the rushing water.   Really brought things home when you see that.   Were these images hidden from us just after the disaster?   I kept noticing that you never saw humans.  It was more like watching a science experiment and not an actual disaster.  It was like watching a war with no deaths on TV.  Censored???

Lots of things I did not know.  Like how water was pushed up from cracks in city streets and just how LONG things shook!  

------------------------------------------ 

iPhone will soon make it so certain things can not be photographed with your phone.  Using a special infrared thingy your iPhone's camera will be disabled at some things like concerts and so forth.  Perhaps Congressman Weiner would have never gotten in trouble.

Have a great weekend all!!

  1. I don't know how you are categorizing the supreme court justices. The 3 who voted to strike down the law are Abrahamson, Bradley, and Crooks. Abrahamson is a true liberal. Bradley and Crooks would be moderate Republicans if there were such a thing anymore. The 4 who voted to uphold the bill are all considered conservative (Roggensack perhaps more moderate than the others). The fact that these 4 are the most recent is because Wisconsin Manufactureres and Commerce only recently decided to invest in buying the supreme court.

  2. I was just getting info from the Ed-o-pedia so . . . . . in one way he was correct.

    What you are saying is that 6 or the 7 are republicans?

  3. I think the republican party has moved so far to the right that moderate republicans from 20 years ago look like democrats now. Judge Sumi, who originally ruled against the law, was appointed by Tommy Thompson.
