President Barack Obama has a message for the American people — “I screwed up.” After two of his nominations fell flat amid tax problems, the new president did a series of TV interviews saying he’s frustrated with himself and his team.   Its a great feeling when the people in Washington don’t pay their taxes.   Talk about taxation without representation.

PEARL JAM’S MIKE McCREADY TESTIFIES ABOUT EMBARRASSING BATHROOM INCIDENTS    

We have all been in this situation! I could not imagine how hard it 

must be for Mike McCready.  I hear people whine and complain all day long.

Things may be tough right now. There is always someone out there who is less fortunate then you.

• While doctors at a California hospital haven’t said whether a woman who gave birth Monday to octuplets received fertility treatments in order to conceive the babies, infertility specialists told the Los Angeles Times that they question whether enough was done to prevent such a risky pregnancy. Chances are very small that the babies were conceived naturally, experts said, and reproductive-medicine specialists have the expertise to avoid high-risk pregnancies such as this one. The octuplets—two girls and six boys—were born via cesarean section about 9½ weeks early at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif. The babies weighed between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces, according to the Times . The parents of the babies have not been identified. The octuplets are in stable condition, the hospital reports, and two babies who initially had needed help breathing were well enough to have breathing tubes removed yesterday.
• I read this story yesterday.  I feel for this woman. It is hard enough  to have one child.  Eight babies crying all at the same time. Yikes!  I hope they have enough money to  feed all of these children.  It will take the whole village. 
• Heres an update on this story.  The 33-year old woman from Whittier California is named Nadya Suleman.
• She’s unmarried, unemployed, and including the eight newborns she has 14 kids
• who are all under the age of eight.  All of her children were conceived through vitro
• fertilization.
• Nadya wants $2 Million to give an interview to Oprah.  

 Nashville  TN voters are heading to the polls to decided whether to make English the mandatory language for all city business. The charter amendment dubbed “English First” would prevent city government from translating written materials into other languages or using interpreters for people who don’t speak English well.  There are exemptions for public health and safety.  If approved Thursday, it would make Nashville the largest U.S. city with such a law. Councilman Eric Crafton, who has led the proposal, argues that requiring one language is an orderly way to unite the city of more than half a million people . Opponents say it would drive businesses, tourists and potentially millions in federal grants away from a city known for its Southern hospitality. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press.

    So it worked for “American Idol,” then why not apply the same system to the Miss America pageant? A four-part TV reality series will allow viewers to vote four contestants into this year’s competition, which will air live Saturday night from

     It is kind of like remaking a great movie, sometimes it doesn’t work. After 88 years do we really need to change the pageant? Or maybe, pageants are becoming a thing of the past. I don’t know about all of you. I can’t see how this is going to help the low ratings. Do we really need another “sudo” reality show. TV sucks now because there are way too many reality shows on. There are few, new, and original ideas out there.      

It is a new day.  Barack Hussein Obama has become the 44th President of the United States of America.  In his speech he vowed to remake America.   Obama declared: “Today, I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. “But know this, America — they will be met.” 

Maybe change is good for all us. The one thing that we haven’t lost as Americans is hope. We all hope for a better future. We hope that the economy gets better. We hope to keep our jobs. We hope that our loved ones are safe in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We hope Obama will be a good President.

NO CUSSING SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Oh fiddle sticks! That’s about  allyou might get out of McKay Hatch.  The 15-year-old is the founder of the No Cussing Club at his high school in South Pasadena, Calif.  His stand against four-letter words has subjected him to a torrent of phony pizza orders, porno magazine subscriptions and of course,  four letter words.   Police in South Pasadena say they’re investigating the harassment.    McCay says he’s surprised by those who say he’s trying to infringe on their freedoms. The anti-cussing  teen says he’s just out to improve people’s speech.     I  think if you are going to imply it.   Just say it!!   The word freaking is annoying.   I don’t mean to be fowl mouthed all of the time.  We can’t cuss on the radio.   It is just something that drives me crazy.  The No Cussing Club is kind of silly.   Are all four letter words bad?   Such, that, cake, bake.    What do you think?

I am a big Marilyn Monroe fan.  I recently watched  “The Misfits.” The story was about wild horses. Marylin talks Clark Cable out of capturing wild horses.  The horses were captured for dog food.  I thought this by far was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.   I felt bad for the horses in the movie. The acting was great!  I cried when the horses were released.  Clark Gable died a week after the movie was filmed.  Marilyn died a year and a half later.   

I started to look into the plight of the wild horse in America.  I found out that the Bureau of Land Management wants to slaughter wild horses.  These horses are American icons.  I can’t see the west without horses.  

I have to give props to Alan Mulally, Ford CEO.  Alan says that he’ll work for a $1 per year  if the auto maker has to take any government loan money.  Car makers are telling Congress that they need $25 billion in funding to keep them afloat and help them survive.  Ford and other automakers say that it would be devistating to the economy if the auto industry goes bankrupt.  I want to know who is going to help the People of the United States if the Govenment goes under?  The CEO’s of failing corporations should be accountable for their actions.

Chris Cornell will not be a replacement singer for Robert Plant if the rest of Led Zeppelin hits the road next year. Cornell tells the Edmonton Sun, “I would never do anything like that whether I were approached or not. It just doesn’t make any sense to me at all. I would not want to go see me performing Led Zeppelin songs with the two other guys that used to be in a band called Led Zeppelin while Robert Plant is out somewhere touring… That’s not a ticket I would buy. God bless ‘em, but that’s not Led Zeppelin. I find it completely depressing.” 

 I have to agree with Chris,  Led Zeppelin is only “Led Zeppelin “with Robert.  They are different types of bands.   It only works if you write new and original material.  Can you imagine the ego clashes?
