Monday Morning Musings


Governor Rick (Pretty Boy) Perry, who turned down $430 million causing thousands of teachers to lose jobs, and the fine folks on the Spring Branch School board must be related.

The Spring Branch board voted last week to eliminate 350 positions, including about 105 teachers, but word is that they gave Superintendent Duncan Klussmann a $50,000 dollar bonus.  Isn’t that nice?  Poor ole Dunk only makes $240,000 a year.  Your tax dollars at work. Lol 

The only thing the Republicans and Tea Partiers can yammer about is cutting taxes and yet a new report out says the super rich pay a lot less taxes than they did a couple of decades ago and nearly half of U.S. households pay no income taxes at all.


The Feds are cracking down on internet gambling. Eleven people, including the owners of Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker and PokerStars, were charged with violating U.S. anti-Internet gambling laws. Now tell me again the difference between Wall Street and all other forms of gambling? Isn’t gambling, gambling?

 Bits and Pieces
  • Here is a headline for you…..WASHINGTON — Americans are paying more for food and gas.  YOU THINK!!!

  • The FFA is finally getting a handle on the air controllers falling asleep on the job.  They are putting cots in the control tower.

  • You do realize that if Donald Trump does decide to run for President, he will ask that thing on his head to be his running mate.

  • I think it is odd that Trump is a birther.  I’m pretty sure Donald wasn’t born here…He was hatched. I’m not sure about that thing on his head but I think we should see its birth certificate.

  • Having a real estate mogul like Trump being President could be interesting.  He says he thinks he can get a great deal on the White House.



Today's good read is The White League by Thomas Zigal. This is a well crafted story about New Orleans in the 1990's.




Stay tuned for future adventures.
