One of the greatest comedians of all time passed away on Sunday. He died of heart failure. He will be missed.

People like this should be locked up and not tolerated in a decent society.

I have become keenly aware of the issues that face our country. I am not sure why these are not being fully addressed by those that are running for president. Until they FULLY address all of these issues I will have a hard time picking a candidate.

1. The economy - We are in a sorry state of affairs when it comes to the economy and anyone that wants to be taken seriously needs to address this issue. We need to find a way to strengthen the dollar, lower inflation and bring this country back to a world economic superpower.

2. The war and why we are there - Bottom line is that we need to be out of this conflict and fast. I know that means that Iran might invade or another dictator might take over, but at this point we can not stay and keep driving this country toward economic disaster.

3. Education - This goes without saying. We really need to move away from the PC values that are causing this countries education system to fail. The world needs ditch diggers and those that do not have ambition and drive are doomed to fail no matter what we do. So we have to prevent them from bringing the rest of the country down with them. We also need to move away from this archaic notion that everyone learns in a strict regimented fashion. I think that the brightest people learn better in a more free style manor.

4. Borders - It should be a privilege to live in this country. Those that do not want to learn the language and customs need to be sent away. If you sneak in you have committed a crime and you should be dealt with like a criminal.

5. Net neutrality - Our tax dollars paid for it once. It should be an open access system. I do not have a problem with companies trying to make money off the net, but they should not be allowed to dictate access to make more money.

6. Oil - It is high time that we come up with a way to get off oil. Stop subsidizing oil companies and put money into research.

OK, so I know that most of this sounded like a rant. In a way it is. As Americans we need to be proud of our country. We need someone that will lead us and solve these problems.

Funny as hell!

I just love this picture.

I wanted to share an awesome link with you guys. This is a site about Nashville, TN and all that is going on around here. We are not all country music and cowboy hats. Ok so there is country music, but you will have a hard time finding cowboy hats on any body but tourists. So check out Nashvillest.com for the latest happenings.
