The election is over and America in its infinite wisdom has chosen the candidate that promised them the most stuff. We survived Carter’s debacle and Clinton started with a Democratic majority in Congress, went too far and the Democrats lost their majority. Hopefully, the same thing will happen this time and in two years the Republicans will find their conservative soul and a backbone so we will at least have some checks and balances. Life on the Road has been offline since Friday. I’ve been lobbying to get more control and the longer it’s down, the better my chances are [...More...]

Probably not. I’ve heard this a few other places that Obama’s Honolulu birth certificate looks a little suspect and his time out of the country, there is an issue with his citizenship. I never realized the Annenberg at factcheck.org is the same Annenberg project in Chicago that Obama’s was connected to. If they were the same you would think someone would have brought that up somewhere by now.

I was going to post about the idiot truck drivers at the Flying J, but decided to put it on Life on the Road – http://lifeontheroad.com/2008/09/24/fired-up/974.html I’m getting sick of politics, I want to hurry up and have the election so I know whether we are driving off of a a short pier or a long one. The bailout, even if done right is only going to prolong the inevitable. And god forbid Congress actually puts aside politics for a couple of days and get something done. Someone mentions a bailout and spending money and everyone’s hand goes out. Everyone [...More...]

While Life on the Road is having technical difficulties and everyone is watching the country go you know where in a handbasket, watch the last of John, Sarah (Tina) and an appearance by Cindy McCain on Saturday Night Live. Which is actually pretty funny. Someone get me one of those Palin 2012 t-shirts! If by some electoral miracle, John and Sarah do win the White House, when the dust settles after all the rioting in the streets, this White House will probably do more to encourage people to service only because of their examples. All the charity work that Cindy [...More...]

Have we hit rock bottom yet? Probably not. The price of oil is dropping, so that’s good right? Not so much. The price of gas is still high and businesses still can’t get the credit or don’t want to invest in any more equipment or people or anything else. If no one buys stuff, there’s no reason to ship that stuff no one is buying. Plus if oil drops, everyone will forget and lose sight of becoming energy independent, like we always do. What’s the point of investing in new technology, new drilling or anything else, when oil’s so cheap? [...More...]

After unloading near Miami, FL and heading back north, the southbound interstate 95 was shut down. Cops were blocking the onramps and more troopers were blocking the southbound lanes. Obama is in the area. I’m sure it’s for security, but my only thought was that he doesn’t want to be on the same interstate as the unwashed masses. Even if I was voting for him, I couldn’t take the arrogance of the man. From the Presidential seal modification, the Greek columns at the convention and now he’s planning his victory party with Iranian caviar. Isn’t there a trade embargo with [...More...]

I’ve been home for about a week now. The truck went in the shop for a minor fix, then I took the truck to have the APU fixed. That APU thing has been in the shop so much I’m not sure it’s saved me money or not. It’s always something different. If it goes out again, I may not fix it. It’s nice to have because that’s the only way I have right now to make the microwave work. I need it to watch TV, but I haven’t watched TV in the truck for a long time now and when [...More...]

And the first commercial is out. I listened to the first half of the debate, then was able to come back to it when it was done. This commercial come out about 30 seconds after the debate was over. Barack Obama says he’s going to cut taxes on the middle class, how come I don’t believe him? The bar is at $250k, is that net? Gross? Adjusted Gross? That’s also in the range of a majority of small business’ and small business is the core of the economy and if they have to pay more taxes, they’re not going to [...More...]

Michelle Malkin has a ton of information about why we should kill the bailout bill, how we got to this point and where Congress wants more money to go to mortgage counseling to groups like AARP, ACORN, La Raza and hundreds of other groups around the country now have their hands out. 1.3 million to La Raza for mortgage counseling? Are they nuts? And Michelle’s piece on how thousands if not millions of loans handed to illegals and of course, now they can’t pay. Can anyone say SECURE THE BORDER? Oh, too late. Never mind. Kill the bailout: Illegal immigration [...More...]

A non-partisan report blaming the Democrats from Fox News. Names and facts. The Democrats created this mess and now we’re expecting them and the messiah to get us out of it? I’m not thrilled with Bush’s plan either but I wouldn’t hand over a trillion to one guy that’s going to be in charge of handing it out. Thanks to politics, they can’t have a solution without a bunch of strings and BS attached. Everyone else knows how we got here. How come Congress forgot? Once you hear the explanation, you’ll see how simple it was, how it happened and [...More...]
