Several major radio and television talk show hosts affiliated with the Republican Party spent the majority of their shows today gloating over plummeting public opinion polls regarding the job that the President and Congress are doing. The new, just released polls seem to underscore the now widely held opinion that the TARP and Stimulus Bills are not working and that the economy is headed for worse trouble.
COMMENTS:
The Republicans seem to think that, as the populace becomes disenchanted with the liberals and Democrats, their own approval ratings are climbing. Suddenly, they are the party of leadership? How quickly they forget that the reason they lost the House, the Senate and the White House is because they themselves screwed up badly for the last eight years. Further, they’ve done absolutely nothing to show that they have redeemed themselves from their own bad behavior.
What this country desperately needs right now is a good five-cent cigar; instead, we’re saddled with a whole bunch of two-bit whores in both political parties who will gladly sell their souls and our souls, (sorry, Nancy, I didn’t mean to give your price away).
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I hear that there are a lot of major Nevada gambling joints on the verge of bankruptcy. I can understand that the economy is bad, but I always thought that gambling joints do better in bad economic times. (Diana – Henderson, NV)
A. Historically, Nevada casinos under Mob control always gave away more free rooms and booze and cheap entertainment in times of crisis, and the down-trodden would flock to Reno and Vegas to get away from their troubles. Nowadays, corporate stockholders who don’t have the slightest idea of what makes gambling tick, would rather close down rooms and restaurants and cut expenses. Besides, el Presidente has told people to stay away from Vegas; seems he doesn’t want people to lose their money before he has a chance to tax it.
Q. I understand that Michael Jackson hasn’t been buried yet. Why not? (Sophea – Jackson, MS)
A. They’re waiting to find out whether or not Nancy Pelosi will allow them to bury Jackson underneath the House of Representatives.
Q. On the news today, they said that El Nino is returning. What does that mean? (Butch – Ft. McDermitt, NV)
A. President Obama is returning from his trip abroad.
