LI prediction, babies gettin' paid, and other stuff LI prediction Long Island will collapse under its own nepotistic, racist, scandal plagued, corruption filled weight in the next 5-10 years. There I said it and I am sticking by it. Now we just have to wait and see... How dumb can you be? Well in all the revelry of the Yankees winning The World Series (not really a baseball fan by the way, 9 innings=b-o-r-i-n-g) and a ticker tape parade down Manhattan, some overzealous office workers in the buildings that lined the parade route used confidential documents to toss out onto the Bronx Bombers. City clean up workers found on the streets partially shredded medical records and paystubs. Baby's first paycheck Soon babies just for being born will be given $500 dollars that goes into a saving account. A law called ASPIRE (America Saving for Person Investment Retirement and Education) is aiming to help americans from lower income and up help save for their future by placing money into a savings account that the babies can use after they turn 18 for education, a first home, or retirement. Sounds good but I just got one question: Where is this money coming from? Aren't we dead broke? We can't just keep printing money forever and ever, you know? Thar she blows Wow, another hurricane that might be coming onto our shores at least via the Gulf Coast. Welcome Ida, or maybe I should say unwelcome, Ida. How early is too early? Is it me or is seeing all these Christmas commercials and pre-black friday type specials over doing it? Geez, Thanksgiving ain't even arrived yet and I getting sick of Christmas already. Rihanna Interview Well, I saw the interview and I dunno what to say. Should she have gone back with him? I can't say. That is a personal decision for her to make. If he put his hands on you once chances are he will do it again. He is seeking help so that is a good thing. She does realize she is a role model for so many young girls, so at least she took that into account when she made her decision not to continue the relationship. Again, I don't want to cast judgment or throw stones. The muslim boogeyman My condolences to the victims at the Ft. Hood tragedy, however I am already seeing how certain groups in the media are trying to link muslim and/or the islamic faith with what occurred down there. Listen for key words that keep popping up like palestinian, muslim, islam that they keep using over and over. Not all the facts of the case have come out yet but I can already see some in this country trying to once again make one's religious faith seem more troublesome than others. That is America for you. Do you believe in second chances?I was watching "The View" earlier today and they were talking about the upcoming interviews of Rihanna and how she is going to delve into the "incident" that occurred in February earlier this year with her former beau, Chris Brown. I would like to say I was shocked at some of the comments of some of the hosts but not really. In particular, Elisabeth Hasselback's stance that he shouldn't be given a chance a second chance. She didn't really say it that way but she seemed annoyed at the fact that Sherri Shepherd had recently bought tickets for his upcoming concerts for a relative. Sherri defended her choice to buy the tickets and stated that Brown should be allowed a second chance. I am not a Chris Brown fan to begin with and I know the brutha did wrong and he is already paying for it in a variety of forms (canceled endorsements, shunned by others in the music industry) but he is still very young and he should be allowed to at least try to correct his mistakes and hopefully grow from them. I am hoping for the best for him and for Rihanna and that they can both grow from this experience and show other young impressionable minds who are in a similar situation some guidance on how to get the help they need. Again, I wish them all the best. I spent 100......millon dollars and all I get is a lousy mayor's job! Maybe this is what Bloomberg must be thinking right now after running one of the most expensive campaigns in history. I am so fed up right now with the following people: Mayor Michael Bloomberg (aka the 100 million dollar man) President Barack Obama (aka the golden boy who has lost his luster) Why, Obama? Yes, he has been my favorite subject to critique these past couple of months but after reading this article and upon seeing how he refused, I mean flat out refused to help out a fellow democratic in a mayoral against an incumbent who he knew went behind the voters' backs, the very voters who helped him win the White House last year, I am too through with him. Change you can believe in...Puh-tewie! How about change for a 100 million dollars you can buy! The sad thing is Obama spent all that time and effort to help out his "white" pals in the Virginia and NJ Gubernatorial races, but he left this lone black politician in NY to fend for himself and he actually did better than either of the two candidates Obama went out of his way to stump for during their failed campaigns. Tsk, tsk, tsk... so fresh,so cleanTo stay so fresh and so clean, I wash and dry my clothes like some folks used to do back in the good old days. For example I used cold water for washing and I line dry my clothes inside the house using a dryer similar to the one the picture below:  I learned the cold water thing from my mother. The line drying I did mostly to save on money from having to use the tumble dryers at the laundromat, which usually cost .25 for 8 minutes. I also found that dryers can actually wear out your clothes if you leave your clothes in there too long. The only time I use a dryer is when I use Dry-el to dry clean my clothes that require it since the dry cleaning process at the businesses that do that service involves a lot a hazard chemicals. Nice to know that I am not the only one doing this a least according this article from the NYT on Laundry in the 21st Century, in it several commentators discuss the environment effects of using cold water and line drying vs. hot water and drying machines. Hey, not only am I saving money but I am also saving energy for the environment. cuz this is thriller...thriller night!Yahoo's a 'Thriller' Once again Halloween belongs to MJ. I found this kinda cool what Yahoo did to its homepage. A werewolf, vampire, witch, mummy, and frankenstein are dancing in the style of thriller but without the music of course (copyright fees must be a literal Thriller...get it?...Thriller?...oh my dry sense of humor, I know). Cat lady or First lady? Speaking of Halloween, I had to comment on this photo of President Obama and the First Lady greeting trick or treaters. Meooooow, Michelle Obama....can I be your scratching post pretty, pretty, please? Ok, let me stop before the Prez gets the Secret Service on me for trying to get with his wife. And speaking of the Prez what the heck was he dressed as...the uppity negro?-(j/k, sorta) Still scary after all these years I just finished watching Night of the Living Dead on the local PBS station. I can remember when I first saw this flick many years ago. It grossed me out with the living dead feasting on human body parts like savages. Now that I am older it still kinda does but not so much. Still is a scary flick and it is in black and white too. mmm...reese's pieces I have a craving for some reese's peanut butter cups. The big kind or I guess the minis. Shoot it doesn't matter, now does it? I'll try to pick some up after today when they are marked down and then I can be bombarded with the stores christmas decorations, geez louise...
