Your Turkey Sandwich

So, how does Tiger Woods become more famous? Why wrap your car around a tree and a fire hydrant at 2:30 in the morning a few hundred feet from your house. A couple of words of advice for Mr. Tiger....dude, you're a golfer driving an Escalade...blame the Caddy.
And can you pick up a paper or watch the news without hearing about that embarrassing couple that crashed Obama's first State Dinner? Mr. and Mrs. Salahi, willing to do anything for a shot at a reality show, fake their way into the Whitehouse without an invitation, even getting face time with President Obama, his chief of staff and other dignitaries...making fools of our country's Secret Service security. My question is how does Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan keep his job?
Then there's George Casey, Army Chief of Staff still trying to figure out which little guys should take the fall for the Army failing to figure out this jerk Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was an Islamist crackpot when he just barely stopped short of sending up a multi-colored flare announcing he was a dedicated terrorist out to destroy our country. Not only should these guys both be fired...they shouldn't be allowed to ever work at another real job again. I was gonna say they should be working at Mickey D's but hell, I wouldn't trust them with my food either.
But, truth is we just don't ever hold anyone accountable for their work anymore..not even ourselves. We just gotta change that.
Then there's Bernanke who Newsweek declares is the #1 thinker in America today, up for reappointment as Fed Chairman...of course, he'll be confirmed but wouldn't it have been nice for him to...I dunno...maybe at least warn us before this thing blew up? You know...do his job before he started driving an ambulance ambulance to work?

Oh, and my favorite news of the week? Obama's going to hold a Jobs Conference. EXCELLENT....2 Stimulus packages later and now we're going to talk about job creation. Would someone please tell our President we're already out of work? 10.2% which is really around 18% real unemployment. Now you want to talk about it? Exactly what have we been doing for 9 mos. By now, I would have hoped we'd have a plan. Oh, yeah...I forgot, if it weren't for the stimulus program it would have been worse... aaargh...

And I went to see Blindside. That's the movie with Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. Yes, my wife dragged me there. But check this out. It's a great movie. Totally entertaining. Great feel-good movie for the holidays. Heartily recommend it. Better than Turkey, Yukan gold mashed potatoes and a piece of that walnut, caramel, Apple pie from Dearborn Farm....uh, ok...it's a toss up.
