Newt vs Romney, lets be realistic...

I am sitting in my office, listening to Rush on the radio via Internet. Many thanks to Algore for inventing such a marvelous gadget. Where would we be without the Internet? Enough of that.
The Pundits say Romney is up 7-10% in Florida, Newt won't win. I say we don't know. How in the world do we really know what all these people are going to do when they pull the curtain.
Romney. I just cannot trust the man. Newt is looking at the world thru big glasses. The man thinks big, really big. If Newt where a Democrat, the Mass media would consider him as visionary. He would be the next John F. Kennedy, a man looking toward the future,They would swoon over him, I gaurantee.
I want a President who thinks big, who is not withdrawn because of just of economy restraints. Most politicians want to think little, don't rock the boat.

To consider one of Obama's examples ( he says ), Teddy Roosevelt,"Speak softly and carry a Big Stick". That is Newt. Iran will not test this man, they and all the other wus Islamic Countries will shrink away, fearful of the wrath of the United States, which has been long overdue.....More to come, Mitch

On a Rainy Thursday Evening Jan 26, 2012

As I sit on this rainy evening it is really dull outside. The scanner is chatting and I am listening to last nights Mark Levin show on the internetm gotta love it.

At this point, which I still think could change, I support Newt Gingrich for President of the United States.
Romney needs to be President, Gingrich needs to serve as President. Big Difference.
Gingrich pledges to Overturn Obamacare, which I favor except for the provision on Medicare Part D which provides for a 50% cut in price on generic meds when in the doughnut hole, which Deanna and I will hit by May 1.
I am a Conservative, but, I also receive Social Security Disabiliity. Even though I am Conservative, The disabled are in the position we are in thru no fault of our own. We worked, paid into the SS System and are gauranteed this provision by law. We have been short changed over the last 2 years, not receiving a cost of living increase, and beleive me the cost of living is really increasing.

More to come...Mitch

The Death of Oscar, My Best Friend

On Thursday Night, Oscar Passed on after a short but courageous battle against lymphoma.

On Thanksging, he was his great self, the Gentleman in the Black tuxedo. I am forever endebited to my Sister in Law, Adeline for taking some fantstic solo photos of him that day. He was sitting up in a chair outside and to look at him, never would have guessed he was termnaly ill.

On Monday, when I got up, he walked as though he was lost. He was afriad to take a step except to walk toward me or Deanna's voice. I had no idea he was blind, even though his eyes had some white spots. On Tuesday we took him to the local vet, a very kindly lady by the name of Leslie. She examined him and found torn retina's, he was blind.

I knew, we could make it thru this. She said at that moment he was in perfect health. He was not even overweight, despite Deanna on me about overfeeding him. We brought him home that day and he seemed to adjust to surroundings. I read up on his condition and everyone said the Bostons are so smart, they will learn the house and do well.

We, Tuesday, I went to the Lodge for a monthly meeting and he started having severe seizures while I was gone, shaking so hard he was suffering, Deanna took him back to vet with him so sick and after pulling blood work, Diagnosed, Lymphoma. Deanna was heartbroken and well as Adeline who went with her. I called Deanna as I was Leaving Chattanooga and she gave me the bad news.

When I got home, Deanna was exhausted. We got ready for bed and his seizures seemed further apart. About 11:30 I heard him seizing and I picked him up and we sat in my chair in the Living Room.

He seized from 11:30 PM until 4:30 PM concastantly, you could not see where one ended and the other started, he fought it so hard. That morning, Wednesday, I had an Doctor Appt and Deanna watched him constantly. More Seizures. I don't know where he got the strength, he had the heart of a lion. All day he fought, with some breaks between. He did get up a little when I carried him out to pee . We put him to bed that night, both exhausted, just wanting to rest.

The Next morning I got up and he was gone, still laying in the same position he laid down in. Rigor had set up but I massaged his leg muscles and was able to lay him on his stomach, head resting on his paws like I had seen him a thousand times. We had to go to Chattanooga so we left him covered until we got home.

My Dear Sister in Law, Adeline and my Brother in Law, Benny, dug his grave while we were gone, so many thanks for so much work. We stopped and bought a strong tote that would allow him to lay on his cover, have his favorite toys with him and then his favorite blanket on top of him. After he was placed in the coffin, it was duct taped over and over, to seal it up. We had to dig the grave about 6 inches deeper to accomadate the coffin.

We are going to check with the local funeral home and see if we can get a small piece of Granite with his name on it.

There will never be another oscar, it would be unfair to compare him to a new puppy, Our hearts ache, But he will always be with US.
Rest In Peace Buddy

Chnaging the Title of my Blog

After deep thought and consideration, I removed the Institute thing from my title. We don't live on Signal anymore, we live in Polk County, TN. I tried to create an Institute, hoping for feedback and deep thought. Never really got any. I feel alone on the Blog world, only have 2 followers. I need to write more and therefore be more visible. Get Ready, I will probably start ranting on a bi-daily basis, about everything I see and hear. Mitch

The Savage Media

I have been very interested in the Republican Presidential Candididate field since Obama was Immaculated.
My interest was really stirred by Herman Cain. Not a Damned Politician, A Businessman, a Gentleman, A guy you would like to sit down to Dinner with!.

Since the rumblings started of "Undisclosed Females" making claims, the Drive By Media has been panting anxiously for more and more. Remember the Eagles song "Dirty Laundry", this is perfect. It has grown to a Painted Lady and then on to #13, you know, 13 long years.

First, does anybody think you could hide an "affair" for 13 years, Yeah Right. I can't even hide who got the last Little Debbie. Maybe it's just my telling looks, Deanna knows me like a book. Being that it surfaced today that a female bodybuilder had to get a Stalking Restraint Order against #13, which way was Herman's Texts coming from.

We have had a Master woman chaser in the White House before, i.e. Mr. Clinton. He brought unknwon amounts of shame upon the Office of the President. When you take an intern into the broom closet and offer her a "Cigar", he sure isn't speaking up on this very important matter is he.
