At the midnight hour, when 2011 fades into history ….
I imagine that in bars, clubs and living rooms all over the country — all over the world, for that matter — various versions of this much-loved song will be playing as the clock draws nigh to the midnight hour tomorrow. However, I don’t think any version will outrock this one by the Blues Boy hisself, Mr. BB King, who by the way graces the historic Fox Theater tonight. Don’t know if tickets are still available, but if you haven’t seen him in person, neither you nor Mr. King are getting any younger.
Enjoy, and happy new year, y’all.

Well, Keep has given us the latest alarm sheet from lib headquarters. Tied to Bush, of course.
Let’s see. FRACKING is used by 90% of natural gas wells in the USA. But all of a sudden, they are the cause of earthquakes in OHIO. Earthquakes happen all over the world BUT those in OHIO are caused by FRACKING (and fracking was allowed by George W. Bush in changes for the EPA!! ANDDDD Halliburton owns some of that stuff!)
Woohoo…I wold have never guessed that George W. Bush caused earthquakes in OHIO. Now it is clear as a crystal!
Thank you, Keep for those unbiased reports. Be sure and tell us what caused that last #7 earthquake in Japan. SOMEBODY BEEN FRACKING!!!!

Carlos,
With fracking done in 90% of natural gas well in many parts of the country, I am sure they are taking every precaution known. I don’t imagine they want to shut themselves out of business.
Strange that fracking only “causes earthquakes” in Ohio and yet earthquakes occur all over the world even when there is no fracking. Sure there can be mistakes just like there are mistakes with oil wells. But nobody is saying get rid of all oil wells. They try to do it better.
But the main emphasis on recent fracking is because liberals want to tie Bush & Republicans to what they call “ruining the environment for business”.
If Democrats were not so obvious, more people would listen. Right now it sounds like programed political whining.

I don’t think you really got your point across. You may have to dig a bit deeper and really articulate your thoughts.

It’s all in perspective. Personally, you may not think this country has gone to hell. However, the 42 year single parent who lost his/her job in 2008-09 an hasn’t found work yet might not feel the same way. Especially when politicians campaigned in 2008 (Democrats) and 2010 (Republicans) on job creation and have not done anything towards helping those who really need help.
Do you think your friends out in Arizona don’t have the perspective to think that this country has gone to hell when there are people who can afford to live in homes in 3-4 different parts in the country while they can’t even afford decent basic housing? The slow descent into hell has gone unnoticed by many except for those who are really feeling the heat.

Brosephus,
I am sure the unemployed are unhappy to say the least. But I believe in helping people only to the extent that it enables them to help themselves. IN the best of times, there will still be some unemployment. I do not see rendering the country into overall poverty and indebtness in the name of rescue. Independence usually means self reliance and if we do not aim for that, we will have no success.
As to Arizona, it is not a super state of rich people. The Indian Americans have been blessed with much assistance, healthcare and many in Arizona have thrived on their own initiatives. . Many “snowbirds”,i.e. retired folks, also live in Arizona on their pensions and Soc Security to which they contributed. There are some “rich” who come for the weather and the joy of a desert environment but they are only a small percentage.
If you want to see dramatic loss through poverty, go to places like Detroit and Cleveland and even Chicago. Don’t believe the words of every activist you read. Arizona is no hellhole for anybody. It is a great state now pushed to defend itself. Perhaps you should study California if you want to know an upset state.

I have family in Detroit, so I have seen what’s happening there with my own eyes. You also forget that I have the luxury of talking to people from not just all over this country, but from all around the world. Our poor here, for the most part, have it much better than the poor around the world. However, one should expect that in a country that is one of the wealthiest in the world.
What I don’t see is how someone can just paint everything as it’s all rosy or ok when there are people who are really hurting in this country. I find it curious that people espouse the abundant Christianness of this country but castigate the government’s emphasis on helping those who most need it. To articulate it as creating a permanent dependent class is merely deflection in an attempt to not honestly discuss what’s going on in this country because we are all permanently dependent upon our government in some shape, form, or fashion. If it’s for defense, for food safety, travel safety, or just having a safe plot of land to call home, we’re all depend on the government, and we pay for that dependence as well.
As to Arizona not being a hellhole, ask that to someone who’s home has lost most of it’s value and they’re stuck with no option to move, sell or anything else. Hell does not have one specific definition, so one person’s heaven might be someone else’s hell.

I think that is partly due to the result of putting MBA’s and Accountants in control of companies and making the tough decisions. They are great for making decisions that will make you money. They don’t seem to look beyond the next quarter or past the end of the fiscal year to see the long term implications and/or impact of their decisions. It’s good for the investor class, but a potential killer for the working class.

You seem determined to say that American is a hellhole and only the government can rescue us. I don’t believe that. First, if we are a hell hole why are people trying so hard to get here? It is a place where they know thay have a chance at a good and decent life in freedom and they are correct.
Is Arizona a hellhole? No it is not. It is not all peaches and cream either. It is a good state demanding it’s own defense from invasion. Do you sit back and defend the property you own or do you sit down and say “Take it!”.
I’m afraid that you overlook what Christians are doing. They form one of the most helpful groups in America. Besides their own noprofit outreach, they aid many other non-religious endeavors such as BREAD for the WORLD, UNICEF, Heifer International, and many others. Christians were taught charity on the personal level. That is, do it yourself with love in your heart. The government is not God, It can be a God-given gift as our independence is. But it does not or should not replace the charity of mankind.
gotta run. Hope I didn’t bore you. I enjoyed the discussion.

Bro – In graduate school (years ago) there were many scenarios created and studied for business downturns. Layoffs and plant closing were always considered as the ‘LAST’ remedy.
Bonus cuts, no dividends, etc were considered first as it was thought the the employees were thought of as integral to the longterm survival of the company.
Sad to say now the first options are layoffs to inflate the bottom line (bonuses and dividends) without concern for the ramifications for the future survival.

Fraking must be safe…. despite having caused earthquakes along the east coast, arkansas, ohio and other places….. but Dusty assures us that corporations would never do anything to harm humans or business: With fracking done in 90% of natural gas well in many parts of the country, I am sure they are taking every precaution known. I don’t imagine they want to shut themselves out of business
Why just look at Dusty’s evidence….. BP and their carribean seal clean up plan, Enron, WorldCom. Why look at the Love Canal, mining disasters and peanut butter contamination. Yes corporations always take every precaution known and never take short cuts or decide that the bottom line is worth the risk especially when the taxpayers foot the bill or when the profits can greatly exceed what they may actually pay for in human deaths or injuries after fighting lawsuits for years. But I am sure Dusty would not be blowing in the wind….
I mean if she says it is impossible that fraking could be causing SOME earthquakes, why it just must be. I mean we KNOW that all fires are naturally caused and that HUMANS never cause some fires. So if you claim a fire could have been caused by a human, in Dusty world, you point to a fire started by lightning and say, See Humans did not cause that fire, so they can’t be at all responsible for this other fire.

I feel good about Alabama. Statistically they outplayed LSU the first time around but there is the matter of them 4 missed field goals.
Historically though there have been several rematches of top tier teams over the years- not just FSU-UF in 96 but a few other top rematches in the 70s and 80s such as OU-Neb. The team that lost the first time won in the rematch. I’ve also read that the losing team has a better chance 2nd time around because they will throw more different things at the other team since what they did the first time wasn’t good enough to win. The winning team usually doesn’t change aggressively enough in a rematch since their original gameplan was good enough to win. Plus the revenge factor. I like Bama but I’m still not going to wager on it because LSU is one helluva team to bet against.

Nowhere have I stated that that only the government can save us, so don’t try to project that conservative talking point in my direction. There is a time and place for everything, government included. That doesn’t mean that they, or anyone else, is the only answer every time, all the time.
I’m afraid that you overlook what Christians are doing. They form one of the most helpful groups in America.
I’m afraid you’re wrong. I see what Christians are doing all around the world. I’ve participated in many events to help out in communities and such myself. Yes, they form one of the most helpful groups in America. However, they form one of the most hurtful groups in Political America. It’s all in perspective and personal experience. What’s good for you personally might not be good for the person across the street from you. Until you acknowledge and respect the fact that different people will always have different perspectives, you will never figure that out.

That’s the difference between having an Engineer run an engineering firm versus a MBA running it. No disrespect to MBA’s, as they play a vital role in our economy. That said, their importance and necessity is a bit overblown in my honest opinion.

Bro – the main problem seems to be in the focus of the education of the MBA grads.
Long term viability of a company vs. short term profit.
I worked for a company that layed off half the technical staff(programmers, analysts, etc) while at the same time giving high bonuses to the officers.
At the same time they walked away from a previously supported software product on a database to the tune of 1/2 million a year in revenue for software support alone. short term stupidity vs long term profit.

And people wonder why our economy isn’t recovering. I think it’s little to do with regulations and all the other stuff. We’re now sowing the harvest for all the dumb ass decisions made over the past 30 years or so. Maybe, just maybe, people will remember the story of the grasshopper and the ant and realize that we have to think about long term outcomes of the decisions we make.

RC has been around since Lukovich’s now defunct blog.
Not surprising that he has a big fan base.
