"Blog #100! Rush is a danger..."

The other day I happened upon Rush Lmbaugh's talk radio show, I am not a Rush fan but was interested in listening to what he had to say.


The whole show is basically Obama bashing, Rush going on to say that Obama needs to take responsibility and quit blaming everything on the previous administration. No matter what Obama does Rush plays the devils advocate. Rush does this for ratings,I actually believe Rsh doesn't believe half of what he says.

Rush is a showman in there for ratings and a big paycheck, many Americans believe what Rush makes up on the radio for ratings. Rush is an entertainer, and although I disagree with almost everything he says, he has a charismatic manner about his talk that is fun and easy to listen to.

During these days of recession, the country needs to stand together as one, Rush needs to stop his propaganda before he destroys America.

"Furlough the Pork..."

                                                            HAWAII POLITICS!  
Instead of furloughing the bread and butter, (teachers, librarians, lifeguards and human service workers,) furlough the pork, (all politician's.) If they are such great public servants, they all need to take a voluntary pay-cut or work pro bono.

Kauai County council members currently make $53,066 a year, the Council chair makes $59,699 a year, plus great health insurance for all council members.

There is only one requirement that they attend one weekly county council meeting, besides that they can manage their time however they wish. they have assigned offices but can work from anywhere they wish. No required hour's are required, their time is all self managed.

Politicians need to step up by example and show what a public servant really is.

If any person in political office were to take a voluntary pay-cut, or work as a volunteer, it would all but guarantee their re-election.

I challenge any politician from the Governor to the Island's Mayor's, to the State Senate, to the State Congress and all Hawaii Island's council members to step up to the plate and be the first to volunteer for a pay-cut, or work pro-bono, any volunteers?

If there are no volunteers, I say furlough all politicians.

"Try generic windex..."

There is a cockroach and mosquito overpopulation where I reside on the cosmic garden Island.

Bug sprays and insect repellents are ultra expensive, even for generic brands your looking at five or more dollars for a 16 oz or smaller can.

I have made a discovery that i would like to share with my blog friends...

I ran out of ant & cockroach spray, so I tried using generic window cleaner that costs around 1.29 at Wal-Marts. Streak free Glass cleaner,a generic windex look alike killed all my cockroaches on contact and when sprayed into the air kept the mosquitoes away and got rid of the flies too.

My conclusion is that ants, mosquitoes and cockroaches can't read anyhow, so try generic windex and save some money!

Well, was I right?

"A blog about nothing.."

Remember the sitcom comedy Seinfeld? It is in syndication and still runs in almost every major us city. It's been eleven years since the final episode was filmed, the show is still funny and relevant.

Seinfeld was a show according to executive producer Jerry Seinfeld, "a show about nothing."

My blog is similar to the Seinfeld sitcom in that it is a blog about nothing. It's just my thoughts on a daily basis.

Today I am out of idea's to write about, so here I am writing about nothing, in hopes of reaching my one hundredth blog in four more days.

The countdown begins...

"Now let's put racism aside..."

"Now let's put racism aside..."

Now that we have elected an intelligent man to run our country, let's try to put race aside, especially in our racist state of Hawaii where everyone is labeled by their ethnicity.

Barack Obama said, "There are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America."

We are the United States of America and we are Americans even on this land of "aloha."

"Plastic bags are useful and help save trees..."

Plastic bags are useful and help save trees

Now the Kauai contrarians and so-called environmentalists are pushing for a plastic bag ban on our island.

Plastic bags can be used time and time again. I re-use supermarket plastic bags for garbage bags, storing leftovers, harvesting fruits and vegetables and carrying things on my bicycle, since the bags have handles.

The need is not in banning plastic bags, but educating the public on the many uses for them.

Another irony is a few health food stores have stopped using plastic bags but will bag your groceries with paper bags; remember, you need to cut down trees to make paper bags.

Banning plastic bags will be costly and a headache we cannot afford.
