All You Need To Know About The Stimulus Package

How to handle a missed flight.. in style

Here is how:

And what are YOUR children playing with?

When I buy toys for my children, I buy the closest item to what they are asking for. But now I am now an uncle (after about a decade of waiting), I have a niece who may soon be interested in dolls, dress-up, and tea parties, and I don't have the luxury of "making up for it." So I did what any excited uncle would do; I started looking into what is hot and new!

I have a few good ideas, but I need you, my listeners and readers, to help me decide what toys will be best. Here are the top toys on my list. Make sure you play the video! I need a totally informed decision from you.

Typical talking baby doll 1:
Fisher Price Cuddle and Coo doll


Typical talking baby doll 2:
Another Fisher Price Cuddle and Coo doll


Or maybe something to help her learn about technology AND still fun:
Nintendo DS (showcases both amazing toys):
Baby Pals by Crave Entertainment for Nintendo DS


It is such a hard choice for me. My daughter is 16, so I am not up with all these hip new toys. As a parent, what one do you think is appropriate for your impressionable child?

A Royal Ball For The King!!!

January 16, 2009

Let us stipulate that you have achieved a goal that you have been working towards for a number of years. You planned a party to celebrate, but money gets tight in your household. You have already sent out invitations months in advance and people are currently traveling to see you. What is the best course of action?

A. Call off the party even though you have people who have traveled to celebrate.

B. Cut back on what you are spending on the party (don’t go as big).

C. Throw the party as planed with no changes.

D. Throw a larger party than should be expected for such an occasion.

Well, if you are Barack Obama, you go with choice D. Though the Democrats BEGGED George Bush to be cautious with funds for his inaugural four years ago, they seem to have NO issue with Obama spending upwards of $150 million on his inaugural event. Yes, $150 million towards a 3 day block party for the man that just pleaded for the rest of the $700 billion from the bail-out money to be released to save us from economic crisis. (That was a mouthful.) But there is good reason to spend $150 million on Obama's inaugural block party, we must have a proper party for the first President of color! (at our expense!)

Can I opt out of this? Can I just tell the IRS “Don’t blame me, I voted for McCain”? Would that be enough to get me out of paying for this? I think Obama should have an inaugural party, but let us be reasonable. Bush DID spend $40 million on his inaugural AND his parade, yet the Democrats were screaming bloody murder. If $40 million bothered them so much, where is the outrage over King Obama and his $150 million, three day block party? How can it be wrong for George Bush to spend $40 million, and perfectly wonderful that Obama spends $150 million. What price tag sounds like it should have everyone up in arms? What "party" would YOU rather pay for?

In short, Obama has proven that he can spend millions in excess waste, and not one Democrat will bat an eyelash. The Mainstream Media does not care, they have "this thrill go up" their collective legs, just ask Chris Matthews. Those of us that were hoping for responsible spending and economic stability over the next four years, are screwed.

UPDATE:
January 19, 2009

The price tag has increased!!! King Obama’s festivities have now reached an estimated $170 and climbing. This is the most expensive inauguration I have ever seen. I can now see that this is the beginning of four bleak years. Years where we spend more than we should, THEN increase the price tag on something we are ALREADY overspending on. Your next four years in a nut shell; tax increases, spending increases, and economic decreases. Stay tuned for more bad news!

UPDATE:
January 20, 2009
MORE BAD NEWS!!!
As if enough money was not spent on the 3-day party that has been the Obama inauguration, Michelle Obama decided that she should wear a dress that is valued a $1,500. This is not the first time Michelle was worn one of the expensive designer outfits made by Isabel Toledo, and it will not be the last. The only difference is that now ALL of the United States will be paying for Michelle to flaunt wealth, not just Illinois!

Thank you president Obama, Spread that wealth!
