The Democratic National Committee has received a loan from the Bank of America with no real collateral. I can’t get a loan, you probably would have to have some serious collateral for a loan, and the people who want to buy your house can’t get a loan. But somehow, the DNC can run short of money and get a humongous line of credit. Read this article from Pajamas Media to get the low down on what happens when you’re really special like the DNC. Makes me see RED. If you are a Bank of America shareholder, get ready to bend over.

Juan Williams and NPR
Posted by madjillmom on October 21, 2010
NPR has fired Juan Williams for saying what most of us would say. He basically said that he feels anxiety if he is on a plane with identifiable muslims (those in traditional dress). CAIR, the most active “Muslims are Victims” group got into the mix and told NPR that Juan should be punished for what he said on The O’Reilly Factor. I think the left leaning NPR is caving to the pressure from Muslim groups who have been known to threaten anyone who says something against Islam or Muslims. We wouldn’t want a bomb to be set off in the lobby of NPR. I also think that the huge contribution from George Soros to hire more journalists to combat Fox is part of the mix here.
I really got my fixation on politics from listening to NPR. This was well over 20 years ago and I could see it as a left biased entity. NPR can now join MSNBC in the category of “totally in the pocket of the liberal left”.
I watch Juan Williams on Fox day after day. I yell at him sometimes. He has gotten the shaft on this deal. I hope he sues NPR. They have let other news analysts say outrageous things about conservatives for years with no dismissals.

Odd Mail for Me
Posted by madjillmom on October 18, 2010
Today, I found two odd things in my mailbox. The first was a Rolling Stone magazine with my name and address on it. The next was an American Girl catalog with my name and address. The databases are corrupted. Abandon all hope! Oh, wait, abandon all hope and change.

Chilean Miners
Posted by madjillmom on October 14, 2010
A whole lot of things had to go extremely right to pull off the rescue of the 33 trapped miners. Some in charge seemed to know to under promise and over deliver. It is a great story. I could have lived without seeing each and every one of the miners pulled forth from their earthen graves but that is the 24 hours news cycle. Now I will await the made for TV movie and the 10 books that will tell us the “real story”. Congratulations to everyone involved in the rescue.

The Banks Vs. Congress
Posted by madjillmom on October 12, 2010
The Congress is deeply concerned that the greedy banks did not read the foreclosure documents and essentially robo-signed the forms. The Dems are hoping that coming to the rescue of those not paying their mortgages will benefit them. OMG, isn’t this what Congress did for Obamacare, Stimulus, and Financial Reform? People in glass houses shouldn’t cast the first stone.
I await news that a family that has been faithfully paying the mortgage on their home has been cast out into the mean streets. Good paperwork is an overriding concern, but not paying your mortgage should put you into foreclosure. Those who pay their mortgage do not want to pay for others to live for free in a house they can’t afford.

Strange Dog Behavior
Posted by madjillmom on October 9, 2010
One of our dogs, a dachshund named Belle, regularly eats her food and then comes to our bathroom and yelps. After I open the shower door, she proceeds to lick the shower door track and a bit of the shower floor. It isn’t for water, she has water. I have always thought it must be some mineral or salt that she wants to clean her palate. I guess weird people have weird dogs and at least one weird cat.

President Obama’s MTV Town Hall
Posted by madjillmom on October 8, 2010
MTV is requesting young people to participate in the upcoming Town Hall. To be considered, you have to send a picture and information about your political views. I’m sure MTV will feature young conservatives with hard questions for the President. Right. Is there no end to the extreme coolness of our dear leader?
