“Do as I say, Not as I do”
I was just doing a little more research on this broad to beef up DNTBDCK, and I came across this post from someone, who unlike me, doesn’t necessarily agree with Keith Olberman nor the President on how were spending our money. But he and a lot of reasonable centrists at Thelastogle.com can agree that just saying you would like to stop, doesn’t mean that you’re really trying to stop spending.
Clark Mathews Says :
What Representative Fallin wanted me to know is that she is saving my tax money. The examples of cost savings she provided included:
-Voting against the budget (that was passed)
-Voting against Cap and Trade measures
-Government Regulation of Health Care (kudos for not calling it “ObamaCare” this time–But no kudos for failing to mention that the Congressional Budget Office projects these regulations to save money long term)
-Voting against the stimulusAll of that is well and good, and probably impresses a good portion of the people who received the flyer courtesy of the United States Postal Service. Of course, none of those things actually saved my tax dollars. The one way she does have control of how my tax dollars are spent is how she uses her personal budget. In this case she chose to spend those dollars to explain how she didn’t save me money.
In the fine print of the flyer it says:“This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.”
So my hippie-self will just shut up and let people more “right” than I do the talking. I’ll add similarities mentioned before like the ongoing struggle of “Less Government(control/spending)” in our daily lives (aka at our convenience), EXCEPT could you do us a favor real quick? Strip gay/lesbian citizens of their rights, Kick out the immigrants (in a land of immigrants), Still want that tax cut while we plunge into debt 8 YEARS BEFORE OBAMA, Back our company that is “too big to fail,” oh and in the meantime can you still find a job for me?

I’m not a huge Sony fan when it comes to capturing photos, I feel they’re much better at displaying images, but this thing looks fun! Interchangeable lenses, interesting mountable flash, and a serious competitor to the G-series?

The cure for procrastination? Forgive yourself!
There are so many things you’d rather be doing than what you ought to be doing and what happens is that you delay doing what you ought. All the evidence shows that this procrastination is bad for you, for your productivity, your school grades, for your health. But still we keep putting things off. Until. Tomorrow. Now Michael Wohl and colleagues have proposed a rather surprising cure – self-forgiveness. That’s right, forgive yourself for you have procrastinated, move on, get over it and you’ll be more likely to get going without delay next time around.
This doesn’t work, I try it all the time.
