But I'm not gonna talk about that!!!

Saturday night, midnight. My doorbell rings (no one ever rings our door bell) I'm awake, playing with the computer. I open the door and there is a lady standing on the porch talking on her cell phone. I think, maybe she'd had a wreck or car quit, but she says very calmly, " I think your shop is on fire". Well she was right, and I asked her if she was calling the fire department, and she said, "No, I'm talking to my husband". I will not say what I said as I tore around the house trying to get a garden hose in play. - Now, the shop was a complete loss, 35 years of collecting gunsmithing goodies, tools, lathe milling machine, guns, etc. gone, gone, gone.

But, I am not gonna talk about that anymore. Spilled milk and all that stiff upper lip crapola. The subject that has riveted my attention the past 2 weeks is what I am hearing about the new administration and the choices that Obama has made for his cabinet. Secretary of the Treasurer, the guy who would be in charge of the IRS don't pay his taxes, and Harry Reid says that is just a hiccup. I remember being audited in 1985, and being raked over the coals because I claimed a deduction for uniforms for the blazers I wore when flying non-scheduled charter flights. The total that I had claimed was less than $300.00, and made me have to repay $30.00 in additional taxes, and I thought I was gonna go to jail.
The Attorney General's job going to a dude who helped Clinton pardon Mark Riche, an out and out crook. Also was attorney of record for confirmed terrorist group in South America. Another cabinet designee is identified as a card carrying member of a socialist organization that purports to overthrow the U.S. Constitution, and thinks we should share the wealth. I now understand what Obama meant when he said change is coming!!!
On the financial front, Bank of America is gonna use the 43 mil they got from the bail out to buy another failing bank!! Makes sense to some one.

I wonder if I can apply for a bail-out - Guess not - my business did'nt fail - It burned down!!
But I'm not gonna talk about that.
