FOLLOW THE MONEY

Simple.  Where are the truly capable and dedicated investigative journalists hiding?  Are they afraid of members of our national Congress?  More afraid than were those who boldly dug into the President Nixon era dirty tricks?  The dirtiest of tricks has been played on our terrorized nation - by our own legislators. 

In the Senate's rejection of background checks and any other regulation of gun sales, there can be no doubt that large amounts of money have been transferred to members of the legislative body.  Only personal greed and bribery can explain the willingness of forty-six senators to vote against 90% of their own constituencies and the citizenry of our country.

FOLLOW the MONEY!  Someone with guts to go for it can find the hidden bank accounts and trail of under-the-table pay-offs.  It isn't enough that we wait another eighteen months and merely UN-elect these bastards.  They need to be exposed for what they are, and as soon as possible.  They need to do time for criminal acts against the congress and the country.   And the gun manufacturers that are doing the bribing need to be fined enough to pay for a massive campaign to educate our nation in the proper use and safety of guns.

The fury exhibited by Gabby Giffords was delightful to witness.  But the true path to the eventual ability to halt the corruption among our Senate (and undoubtedly, the House as well) is to EXPOSE the BRIBERY!

What Kind of Fool . . .

It's April 1st and the day calls loudly for a post from someone such as I - yet I am not quite ready to go into detail on my foolish mistakes and their cost to my life.

Simply allow me to admonish you youngsters who have not yet reached 65 years of age: when the time comes to sign up for Medicare, accept it, and I mean all of it.  Opting for Part A only (the no-cost part)when I signed up three years ago did not seem foolish, and I can argue my innocence and in retrospect say that personal financial circumstances at the time almost demanded that I do as I did.  Only now does my foolishness appear.

I will expand on this post when I am more informed on my current condition - probably cannot wait until I am less foolish!
