Remember dear reader, B.E.V. is a blog, a personal opinion based upon things, words, events seen, heard, and experienced.  Just prior to this past awesome Super Bowl, rumblings began that the 'NFL Player's UNION' would cause the 2010 NFL season to cease to exist even before the first summer camps started up. 
   The NFL, American's last bastion of feeling good about themselves, a place to escape the insanity CAUSED by Washington D.C., and litigious lawyers and greedy CEO's.  We saw what happened to Major League Baseball when their players went on strike....via their 'UNIONS'.....MBL is still suffering from lack of fan support.  The NBA is still trying to recover from their bad image from players themselves who feel the 'gangsta-thug-club' life is more important than being a professional.  Which leaves what....the surging in popularity NASCAR, and the NFL.   Golf....took a massive Tiger slice and ricochet.  But on mass appeal, only the NFL and NASCAR remains. 
   Now we have this to deal with:    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100208/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_nfl_future

"Pro football is headed into the great unknown. Barring a quick — and totally unexpected — agreement with the players' union on a new contract, 2010 will have no salary cap. After that, perhaps a work stoppage, something NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith puts at "14" on a scale of 1 to 10."

    So what does Obama have to do with this B.E.V.?

In Obama, unions see a brighter future

John Sweeney, the top union official in the United States, often complains that he was invited just once to the White House during George W. Bush's eight years in office - and even that was at the Vatican's behest during a visit by Pope Benedict XVI.

If an index is needed for how much closer organized labor is to President Barack Obama than to Obama's predecessor, it might be the number of times Sweeney, the AFL-CIO's president, has visited the White House since Inauguration Day - at least once a week - for receptions, bill signings and a meeting on fiscal responsibility.

As AARP continues its Create The Good initiative, they've got a new group of supporters to appeal to audiences young and old: NFL players, also young and old.

The NFL Players Association and AARP have announced a partnership to encourage public service and volunteerism through service projects featuring current and former NFL players through 2010.

   All one has to do is connect all the dots.....Union dots lead straight to the Obama White House which greats them with open doors and millions in tax payer dollars.  Granted, as with Health Care, the NFL does need to address how players injured will be treated, cared for, and payed.  But as with Health Care, Obama and Congress need to just get out of the way...which they will not.....and have the upper echelons of management of the NFL and Health Care, address Congress on how THEY are going to solve the problems. 

  If 'Unions' get involved....the same repetitive pattern will follow....demands for more money which will strain the organization to the breaking point and eventual collapse.  As with happened with steel and automobile automobile manufacturing.  And most places where 'unions' get their corrupt, greedy hands involved with.  At the end of the day, only the union management get the big money, golden parachutes, and the workers......suffer.  If you see both Obama and the Unions pushing for anything inside the NFL, expect to see ....you'll see no NFL season in 2010., and then it's going to just go down hill from there. 

    Sitting on the outcropping looking over the vastness that makes up this little Blue Marble we call Earth, some things are seen as patterns reoccurring.  I'm going to start off on the Super Bowl, and CBS's lame coverage and programming.  The talking heads sports guys just didn't quite grasp the excitement felt by fans, but that's minor.  The intro to the Saints.....I thought the Chicago Bulls were going to come running out after I heard that music....then the Colts get 'The Who'.....who happen to be the halftime show.  Yeah, a U.K. band doing the USA halftime show.  Nothing against 'The Who'.....but c'mon......this is an American game.  I wouldn't expect to see The  Oak Ridge Boys open up at Wimbledon, or St. Andrews. 
    God bless our troops, the fly over was fantastic.

    Iran....as being reported tonight:  TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran will begin enriching uranium to 20 percent from Tuesday, the Islamic republic's atomic chief announced on Sunday just hours after being told to do so by hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The decision raises the stakes in a dispute with the West less than a week after Iran had appeared to accept a UN-drafted nuclear deal on the supply of fuel for a research nuclear reactor in Tehran.

     As BirdsEyeView has repeatedly and accurately predicted and written about......all Ahmadinejad has been doing is playing the U.N. for fools to buy time to finish his nuclear weapon plan.   He will continue to do this until he is stopped.  Until then, Ahmadinejad will move ahead with his and the other hardliners of Iran, to finish building their nuclear warhead to attached to their missile which I will remind you about here:  
                Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran tested an upgraded version of a surface-to-surface missile with a range that makes it capable of reaching parts of Europe, state-run television reported Wednesday.

Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said on Press-TV that the solid-fuel, high-speed Sajil-2 missile has "great maneuverability" and can access targets more than 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles) away, making Israel and U.S. military bases in the Gulf reachable.

      Did you read that and understand what and why I put that above......."upgraded version of a surface-to-surface missile" 

      If you do a little 'net check' you'll see where Iran tested versions of this missile several times most notably on May 20th, 2009 and again December 16th, 2009.  Why the hurry?  Same reason we all know.....and B.E.V. has pointed out, Ahmadinejad and his hardliners have a limited window to build their nuclear missile and let it fly straight to Israel.  Much of this timeline rest with the political situation in the United States.  As long as Obama and the Democrats are in full control, they have no fear of any attack by the United States.  But the writing is on the wall and America is fed up with the hallowed words, broken promises, outright lies and betrayals from the DNC politicians.  So, the clock is ticking, Ahmadinejad will not stop until he has the bomb, diplomacy, talk, sanctions, have all failed.  Reason has failed.  The question is.....who will bomb whom first?  

    On a more personal note, I went to a gun show today.  On a Sunday.....God provided me good health and great weather, so I went this the sole purpose of attending a class, which started at 11am.  I arrived at 10:30, the doors opened at 10am.  The parking was packed already, some for the class, others just for whatever reasons they had and the vendors themselves.  The class I attended was a concealed weapons permit class.  Two classes each day, the one I attended today, at 11am on a Sunday, had approximately 50 attendees, from all walks of life.  I saw young, old, women, men.  Quite a few single women.  Quite a few senior women too.  There were white people....which MSNBC would categorize as racist since it was a gun show, there were Blacks, Asian, and someone named Mohammad, no joke. 

    An older gentlemen that was there commented to me about the crowd, you can tell by the number of people the feeling of uneasiness that is permeating across this Nation among 'The People' of America due to the current ruling body of the Federal Government.  People don't feel safe in their homes due to lack of police on the streets, a biased court system that favors the criminal, and a Federal Government that has all but physically burned the U.S. Constitution.

Case in point:  President Barack Obama said Sunday he has not ruled out a New York federal court trial for Sept. 11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,  but he was taking into account the objections of the city's mayor and police commissioner.

    Even after all this time of objections of The People and their Representatives, ......Obama is going to do what he wants.  

   One last note:  SNL sucked last night.  Good to see they're being honest though and back in lock step with MSNBC and are just another political arm for George Soros and the DNC.  

   Not often I agree with a blanket internet story from a major website, but today's 'Yahoo Finance' did a great job on what a house must have.  Full story:
 http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/108701/the-10-must-have-features-in-todays-new-homes.html?mod=family-love_money

    Excerpt's from the story:

1. Large Kitchens, With an Island

2. Energy-Efficient Appliances, High-Efficiency Insulation and High Window Efficiency

3. Home Office/Study

4. Main-Floor Master Suite

5. Outdoor Living Room

6. Ceiling Fans

7. Master Suite Soaker Tubs

8. Stone and Brick Exteriors

9. Community Landscaping, With Walking Paths and Playgrounds

10. Two-Car Garages

      I don't why it took so long for designers and builders to catch on, everyone gathers in the kitchen.  Whenever anyone comes over for any event in a house, that's where everyone always congregated.  So finally, people learned.  Seperated 'dining' rooms are only needed for restaurants, not homes, houses.  The huge multi-roomed homes are a waste of space and energy, and anyone that has these monstrosities and espouses anything about 'being green' is a hypocrite.  
    After Katrina, many people that I know that live in Okinawa, asked this:  Are the homes in the USA made of paper?  They were serious too in their inquiry.  They live every year with 'typhoons', which we call hurricanes.  They button up their 'concrete' homes, wait for the storm to pass, then sweep off the vegetation that has blown around.  Flooding is the only real issue that they face that can cause serious damage.  That solution comes from firstly location, secondly, good engineering.  So the foundations, frames, and exteriors, must be  built of solid material, not composite paper, which has been a standard that is covered by cheap vinyl or thin bricks. 
    Back to homes.....bedrooms, need to be able to accommodate a large bed.....bedrooms are used mainly for sleeping (other conversation for another day) so the space required is minimal.  Now the bathrooms must be large, as well as walk-in closets.  The 'garden bathtub' is the biggest rip off ever invented for a home.  Showers save water over bathtubs, but a good tub is also needed for good health to be able to soak in.  Longer, deeper tubs are what is needed to be put in new homes....builders have to consider the size of the average male being at 6ft, 200 lbs.  This is Worldwide, not just the USA, in the 21st Century. 
    So get busy designers and build the modern home that is both functional, economical, and displays common sense.

    There's two ways that life often gives one a way to solve a problem, the easy way and the hard way.  Our economy is in deep deep doo doo right now to put it kindly.  The hard way to get out of our economic problems is to continue to follow the trend that has become the norm, allowing Washington D.C. to dictate all the terms.  We see where that has got us today and the probable future....in debt, and beyond recoverable debt.  
   The easy way is for Washington D.C. to get out of the way and their hands off our private businesses.  Environmentalist wacko's also must be told to go pack sand, they have contributed to more economic and human disaster than the terrorist have inside the United States.  Politicians, have stymied and derailed  more economic solutions than problems brought on by all disasters that have hit the mainland USA over the past twenty years. 
   Our economy is like our body.  Cancer was discovered and Washington reacted like a mediocre surgeon in league with marginal insurance company.  Their cure was to perform an outpatient based surgical operation and cut out the infected area and then sew it up and send the patient home.  Everything looked fine for six months, then a minor pain started in another but near location, and when the patient went to another doctor, what was discovered that the cancer had not been totally removed, but in fact, had spread. 
   All because of a needless knee-jerk reaction by Washington, our economy has taken a really bad turn for the worse.  **History Channel is showing that Infrastructure special at this moment that is a MUST SEE** 
    Pennsylvania's Capitol filed for bankruptcy this past week.....did anyone predict or see this coming?  Did anyone believe a State's Capitol could/would go bankrupt?  California is teetering heavily into that direction now, and like a cancer, it is going to spread across this Nation as other States go into default.   We all know what happens to a person when cancer starts spreading and is not able to be stopped.  This is the fate of our Nation.   If....we continue to do the things the hard way.

   Over the past few days of discussing the economy with several people from several different walks of life, this following story that just broke does not surprise me:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aNSc0oQ0vb4M&pos=10

"The U.S. may lose 824,000 jobs when the government releases its annual revision to employment data on Feb. 5,..."

   The only thing I want to hear from Barack Obama, his Admininstration, is that "I'm resigning for the good of the Nation."   Anything else is going to be either a lie,  or a manipulation of the truth and/or facts.   As I said, I"ve talked to many people, mostly small business owners, managers, supervisors, workers.   The same theme has surfaced from all of them......they're basically paying their Visa with their MasterCard and then using their kids piggy bank money to buy gas n' groceries.  I was told today, a business owner that works through works through several States, has had this business for a decade at least, was told by his financial adviser to either strike gold or pack it in.  Maintaining his business as he has is now swallowing him alive. 
   Sure, some of this Nation's economic woe's can be laid at the doorstep of the Bush Administration, but fact is that the DNC have had control of the Congress since 2006.  And since 2009, the DNC has controlled both the White House and the Congress.  It has been their inept, and possibly intentionally 'radical' stewardship of our Nation's economic fortune that has put us in the place where we are now at.
   How much money and time was wasted on the 'Health Care Bill' this past summer, fall, and winter??  For what.....for what. 
  

    The saying is true, whenever corruption seems to be have crept into a situation, you follow the money and it will lead you to the culprits.  Same goes true for the truth behind stories where many questions are left unanswered, which for these stories, they go straight back to the Obama Administration. 
   This morning, while watching a Fair and Balanced news network, the story about al-Qaeda attacking inside the United States came on.  Senator Feinstein (Democrat) asked the following:

YouTube - US Intel Chiefs: Attempted Terrorist Attack "CERTAIN" to Happen in the U...

 

The slow and deliberate question by Sen. Feinstein raised more of a question to the staff at BirdsEyeView.....and then the 'roll call' of the heads of the various alphabet soup Intel communities.   Why?  Why would they do such a public declaration of failure?  Yes failure.  They have admitted to being unable to stop the terrorist from attacking within the United States within this summer's time frame.  Follow the backstory....and it goes to the Obama Administation.  Obama is going to 'blame Bush' and the Republicans when the terrorist strike.  They are now building their own 'cover story' with this public admission in order to protect the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration, at the expense of American lives. 

 

Second backstory was the one that Reuters put out yesterday then was withdrawn after 'the White House' complained. 

 

"-The Obama administration's plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families. In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth. While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases. The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001."   

 

    Luckily, B.E.V. grabbed and saved the 'truth' before the Obama Nazi-Gestapo Propaganda Ministry called Reuters and had them remove the story.......who needs that 'Constitutional Amendment for Free Speech' anyway.  So a few questions arise from this incident....do we...the public at large trust anything Reuters prints anymore??  Why was/is the Obama Administration so threatened by that story that it had to be 'spiked'.??  

 

    Dear reader, if you have any questions about honesty and integrity, when it comes to the Obama Administration and the DNC, you better seriously consider it.  So now, two huge important factors are in the hands of the Obama Administration and the DNC.....our safety and security, and our economy.......both interconnected.   Both, in major jeapordy.  While I have your attention dear reader, I want you to seriously consider the safety factor that arises from the top half of this blog post.  Sen. Feinstein made a big production out of getting the Intel Chiefs to roll call the admission that the USA is going to be struck by terrorist in 3 to 6 months, inside the USA.   Where will your loved ones be at during that time?  

 

    Just remember, who was really accountable and responsible when this happens.

   I was just reading a recent article about Toyota's recent problems and there is a cause n' effect portion in this article.  This struck me immediately that I can see Wal Mart heading down the same path.  Full article in this link:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Toyota-Shows-How-Giants-usnews-3989832353.html?x=0&.v=1

From the linked story:

In his 2009 book, How the Mighty Fall, business guru Jim Collins outlined five stages of decline that many big companies go through.
Collins's taxonomy of decline. His first stage is "hubris born of success,"
  Next in the evolution of decline comes "undisciplined pursuit of more."
Collins's third stage is "denial of risk and peril,"
Stage four is "grasping for salvation,"
Collins's fifth stage: "capitulation to irrelevance or death."

    Now the reason I bring this is up is because of a conversation I had the other day with an aquiantance whom is employed by Wal Mart.  This person told me that just recently that Wal Mart has fired many of the life time mid management employee's in this person's store who have worked for decades/years.  This person said management is being moved into a new program that is to maximize Wal Mart employee's time better.  i.e. Staff that is assigned to unload trucks are given a set time period based upon some computer module program that denotes X-amount of time to unload a truck.  This concept is being applied throughout the store.  This person said that Wal Mart is moving in the direction to where any 'person off the street' can come in and successfully complete any task given with minimum time and supervision. 
   To B.E.V. this sounds like true 'capitalism', making the biggest profit with low overhead in terms of employees.  Capitalism is the best form of 'communal living' that is upon this Earth short of a benevolent dictator, but in Capitalism, there is a give and take in order to achieve long term success.  Sam Walton understood it, which is why his Wal Mart-Ben Franklin chains became successful. 
   I just found this article while doing some quick research for this blog note:

Wal-Mart has laid off an unspecified number of Sam's Club staffers.......

The nationwide cuts mostly affect the warehouse club's demo department............but other departments also lost staff.

Employees were told the news at mandatory meetings on Sunday morning.

“I feel betrayed,” said Sally Grueling, 56, who had worked in marketing at Sam's Club for nine years, most recently in Hilliard, Ohio.

Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said the company had no immediate comment but would issue a statement at 2 p.m. ET.

Earlier this month, Wal-Mart closed 10 Sam's Club stores, resulting in about 1,500 jobs being lost

   I'm not going to worry about Toyota ...I drive one and it's just fine and not in any recall.  While I do shop very occasionally at Wal Mart, I won't miss it once the Collins Formula again proves itself.  I see Wal Mart is now in the 2nd Phase on it's way to the Third.   Someone with vision will come along and replace the once reliable now Chinese junk selling monolith....and they'll do it by taking care of their people!! 

   *Sidebar....didn't that article say Wal Mart closed stores resulting in 1500 jobs lost..this month??  And what was released recently by the Obama Government......something about jobs growth??

Department store Macy's will slash 1,500 jobs, according to numerous reports that cite people familiar with the matter.

The jobs cut will be store-level sales positions, according to a source familiar with the matter, the reports reflected.

The job cuts will be official on March 6, and are in addition to the five store closings Macy’s announced in early January, which will affect 307 employees.

    ABC radio news gave a preview of B. Hussein Obama's SOTU speech, and one of the points was that B. Hussein Obama was going to bring up the U.S. Armed Forces 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy towards homosexuality.   Just like my appendix, just like my TRUCK that I drive......both are working fine and there's no need to take either to get fixed.  Only thing both require are preventative maintenance, which is what DADT only requires during annual standard military training. 
    It's simple....you don't tell me, I don't ask....because I don't care what your sexual preference is.  Only thing I care about if you join the military is that you cover my back in a firefight. 
    Here we go again....Democrats and a Progressive President, playing social engineering with an organization that's sole purpose is to kill other people who are trying to do harm to The People of the United States. 
   Obama wants to turn the U.S. Military into a Folsom Street Party:  http://www.folsomstreetfair.com/   which would have to be allowed on every single U.S. Military installation in order to 'support' the 'rights' of homosexuals in order for them to express themselves, such as religions are allowed to do.
   Obama is openly himself, again showing us who see, that he is 'living' the Rules for Radicals in his attempt to destroy this Nation from within.  To bring down the United States, the following must happen, destroy the economy, destroy the military, change the Constitution, those are the goals of the 'progressives', which Obama is.  First part is well under way of being accomplished, second part is now put in motion.......

   The more I keep hearing this story, the more I question - without a doubt - that the Obama Administration is straight out of our worst nightmare.  Justice mans what they want it to mean, not what it really means and is meant for.  I've tried doing some quick looking today (hard to do while trying to get work done as well) and get some background research on the Miranda Rights.  In a nutshell, this is what Miranda Rights boil down to:

The Supreme Court did not specify the exact wording to use when informing a suspect of their rights. However, the Court did create a set of guidelines that must be followed. The ruling states:

“

...The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he or she has the right to remain silent, and that anything the person says may be used against that person in court; the person must be clearly informed that he or she has the right to consult with an attorney and to have that attorney present during questioning, and that, if he or she is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent her or him.

  And the classic lines most people fortunately have heard via TV:

1. You have the right to remain silent.

2. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

3. You have the right to an attorney.

4. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you

   Maybe, someone with a 'law degree'/background can add to this posting.....who is covered 'Constitutionally' to receive these 'Rights'?? 
  
The following from the story today:
  

Top Senate Republicans want answers from the man they believe decided the FBI should read the suspected Christmas Day bomber his Miranda rights: Attorney General Eric Holder.

“It appears that the decision not to thoroughly interrogate Abdulmutallab was made by you or other senior officials in the Department of Justice,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) wrote in a letter to Holder Wednesday. “We remain deeply troubled that this paramount requirement of national security was ignored —or worse yet, not recognized — due to the administration’s preoccupation with reading the Christmas Day bomber his Miranda rights.”

Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/32073.html#ixzz0dr43hCyM

   This 'suicide bomber', Abdul Mutallab, is a terrorist, undeniably.   He is a citizen of Nigeria....not the United States.  Abdul is not a member of any military, law enforcemnt agency of the Nation of Nigeria, which makes Abdul ineligible to fall under the Geneva Convention Rules in Conduct of War.  Abdul is not a member of any other Nation's military apparatus/organizations.  
    Abdul Mutallab is not a citizen of the United States and has been clearly identified as a citizen of Nigeria. 
    Here's the big question, is it in the United States Constitution that the rules and laws of the U.S. Constitution apply to all people of the World?   Or does the U.S. Constitution legally only cover and are bound to 'citizens' of the United States of America?   It has to be one or the other...it is impossible to do both.  
    Miranda Rights were created to protect the citizens of the United States from self incrimination, they were not created by the United Nations, World Court,  and approved by all Nation's to cover all people of the World.   So how, where does any legal aspect of the Miranda Rights even apply to a terrorist????   Abdul can be questioned forever....he is a terrorist and has no 'Rights', other than any rights of humanity that mankind wishes to bestow upon him as a gesture of being humane towards the inhumane. 

  ***This is a Third World USA ALERT*** 

Does this picture say a thousand words:

   For the past decades, Haiti has been a huge failure as a Nation.  It is a little more than Somalia, but so far.....radical Islam hasn't sunk it's vampire teeth into the neck of a desperate, uneducated people as they did in Somalia.  That is something Obama and our Intel people had better realize, adapt, and ensure does not happen since the Haitian people are ripe for radical idealist to recruit. 
   What the U.N. or U.S.A. must do now, priority now is rescue, recovery of the affected people.  The future must be planned out now as well.  Haiti must not be allowed to go back to what it was, a psuedo-Nation run by warlords that kept the people uneducated and dependent upon the 'Government'. 
    The chance for real change and advancement into the 21st Century was lost in New Orleans after Katrina when all the money and power went back straight to a corrupt Mayor and system.  A chance to build a 'new city' was lost.  Now we just wait for the next flood to happen to the city built where it should not have been built. 
    Lesson learned....now apply it to Haiti.  Do not build anything new upon the ground that now exist as Port au Prince.  Rebuild a new city, using the manpower of the people of Haiti.....ensure all of these 'billions' of dollars that are pledged and eventually make it to Haiti are used to rebuild Haiti.  It can be rebuilt into a vastly modern Nation, with educated people and become the example this World needs showing that the United Nations is a viable entity.  
    If after all of the manpower and money are gone in a year, and Haiti returns to what it was.......then the United Nations needs to be declared a failure and disbanded. 

    First, you lie you way into a Presidential position, then you start manipulating the economy to the point of collapse.  After that, you begin issuing Presidential Executive Orders that are mired in legalize but ensure chaos and disorder, most recently the very muddled 'Interpol' exemption order and now this 'Council of Governors'.    This is ...insane....:

   Do you believe he even cares?  Watch and listen closely over the next few days on how he deals with the Haiti earthquake crisis....he's already been demanding upon the U.S. Armed Forces for a rapid response......which in the next few days Obama supporting leftist news-media organizations are going to criticize the military heavily on Obama's behalf....for not reacting faster.  This is all going to play back into his civilian security force plan, and in the destruction of the United States itself as he creates a civil war from all of this.....if he is allowed by Congress to continue unimpeded with his destructive plans.  This isn't grand tin foil conspiracy nonsense.....you step back from my blog and you go look for yourself.   Ever hear of the 'butterfly effect'?   It's all grand strategy stuff.  Research it yourself dear reader......I'm sure, in the end you'll go...'damn, B.E.V. was on the right track'.  

....All during the 'Great Lies Campaign of '08' from the Obama campaign, Obama stood on stage, looked America in the eyes and said he would create, have, thousands of 'shovel ready jobs' for America.  It's almost that year mark into Obama's term at psuedo-President of the United States...and all that he has accomplished is push America into the Socialist arena of disaster and take more vacations than any American worker I've ever known/met. 
    On the surface...terrorism is the biggest problem we face, next to the economy ,that threatens the daily lives of The American People.  Obama fiddles.  Now dear reader, here is what I want/need/highly advice you to watch, and this is going to make you scream at even your local politicians.   Via the History Channel:  

The Crumbling of America

America's infrastructure is collapsing. Tens of thousands of bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. A third of the nation's highways are in poor or mediocre shape. Massively leaking water and sewage systems are creating health hazards and contaminating rivers and streams. Weakened and under-maintained levees and dams tower over communities and schools. And the power grid is increasingly maxed out, disrupting millions of lives and putting entire cities in the dark. The Crumbling of America explores these problems using expert interviews, on location shooting and computer generated animation to illustrate the kinds of infrastructure disasters that could be just around the bend.

Rating: TVPG

   Tuesday, January 12 4 pm The Crumbling of America:     

   TIVO, VHS tape record it, watch it, order-buy it.   This is a must see if  you do not understand how serious our infrasture is really, really, .....really in bad, bad, disasterous shape.   Just watch the part about the smoke test in St. Louis sewer system in an average American neighborhood....wow!! 

   If the Democrat-Republican politicians give a 'care' at all about this Nation, they would start immediately directing all energies and money that they are currently wasting and squandering, in fixing this Nation.   No a single dime goes to any developed Nation overseas until our Nation is 'fixed'.   That would be my campaign if I were running for Office.  Charity starts at home.
