I repeat, "It's great to talk to myself." In more than 100 blog posts, two people (and, to their credit, more than once each) responded.
I wouldn't even mind a "Go jump in the lake" from someone.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.

OK…. Go jump in a lake! HA!
Your blog is much like the political system in our great county…. A lot of observers, and very few participators…. (not even sure that is a real word, but spell check signed off on it so it must be a real word…. I love spell check)
I was watching the “Colbert Report” on Comedy Central a couple of nights ago and his guest was an Economics professor from Harvard.
Now I will give him credit because during the interview he admitted several times that the education system in this county is BROKEN! However I will now take back said credit because this clowns idea was to pay High School students for getting good grades. This is the second year the program is being used. It started in DC and now it is being used in DC, Chicago, and one other city I can’t remember.
Do you think that those kids may have a slightly skewed view of entitlement….. a very important lesson everyone has to learn is that sometimes you need to do something because you are supposed to…. Not because someone is going to “give” you something for doing it.
I am working on that lesson with Jackson right now, and if I am still working on it when he is in High School, I will kill him.
I am thinking about sending him a bill for my grades in high school.
I saw some of the exit polls after the election and around 95% of the minority vote went for Obama. The idiot talking heads were commenting on what a strong show of unity that was…. Only problem is that about 95% of the minority vote ALWAYS goes for the Democratic candidate. As long as the name has “Democrat” after it, the sheep vote for him.
What next…. How about our wonderful congress. So the Big 3 need to beg, grovel, plead, for money to say solvent. Yet Citi did not even ask for any money and they get BILLIONS, and the congress guarantee hundreds of billions of their riskiest loans. AIG is up to what 170 billion… I must have missed the hearing in congress for their bailout!
O well…. Back to work.
