The ice and sleet just missed Memphis this morning.  So all the local schools are open.  My morning commute upstairs was  quite easy today.  We are barely in the second month of the massive $787 billion stimulus package.  Most of the spending impact does not start until 04-01-2009 (tax cuts-foo...

I have a hard time posting a thread on Tuesday morning.  I get up at 5:45 and attend a Men’s prayer breakfast at Church every Tuesday.  Then I have one trip I make to a Customer’s location later in the morning.  So Tuesday morning is a busy time for me.  I am moved  to comment on my...

Obama called for a “new era of responsibility”  on 01-20-2009.  So how are we doing?  Here’s a story that got a lot of play-here’s a UK story on it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/4958269/Ohio-school-receives-700-applications-for-janitors-j...

I can’t hardly believe.  Paul Harvey has pasted on to glory and the Rest of the Story will have to wait till another time.  Today was not quite the Good Day I thought it was....

Slow political day after a flurry of activity in Springfield and DC  earlier this week.  I think the Gregg rumours are more about posturing then actual appointments.  Obama may be trying to snag a few votes for the stimulus package in DC. Here’s an article in the WSJ from yesterday that rea...

Yes the Hedgehogreport stretchs into the great White North.  Next week we will see one of those unique parliamentarian showdowns.   On Tuesday the 27th Prime Minister Harper will introduce his 2009-2010 Budget.  As our readers will recall the PM did not secure a majority of seats in the Oct elec...

Obscure US Rep Gillibrand apparently is heading to the US senate.  She has two years of legislative expirence and no accomplishments on her resume.  Seems like a great pick for a senate seat.  Bennet in CO was sworn in on Thursday as that’s state’s interim pick.  He also is very ligh...

I did not exactly listen to or read all of Obama’s speech today.  I had a little work to do plus Theradio.com has a great classic country channel.  I have seen that some of the press have picked on the BHO line of “New era of responsibility”.  This new era of responsibility is n...

Well for those folks who do not know the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburg Steelers play in two weeks in the Super Bowl.  The Cardinals have been perennial losers and the Steelers are  the Steelers.  The Bidwell and Rooney families have owned these two teams since the 1930’s and here is some ...
