Pool is clean. Patio hosed off. BBQ clean. Cooler full of beer and soda. Let the party begin. Well, maybe in 30 minutes or so.
- On the BBQ? Salmon, chicken apple sausages, and hot dogs. There will also be some veggies, corn and the like tossed on.
- I hope this finds you celebrating as well. Despite the bad news in the headlines, try and make the most of it. It all comes back to spending time with friends and family.
- Besides, it’s not all bad. The AGW (global warming) tipping point, aka the end of the world, has been moved to 2200. So, use as much charcoal as you like today!
- Kind of funny to see the US and our allies really with differing points of view on whether to spend like crazy or reign in deficits. Obama and the Fiscal Road to Hell. Worth a read before the party starts today.
- Spend it while you got it! Obama’s tax hikes start in 6 months. And not just on the rich:
- The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
- The 25% bracket rises to 28%
- The 28% bracket rises to 31%
- The 33% bracket rises to 36%
- The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%
- Marriage penalty returns. The Death Tax returns. Higher capital gains taxes. Good times…
- I knew it! Soccer is a socialist sport!
Looking for a map of the “Lost” Island? Because GPS is teh suck out on that island! And no software patch from Apple is going to fix that!
- I saw the first Twilight movie. Haven’t seen the second or the third. But I did bump the second one up in the Netflix queue. Might as well see what all the fuss is about. I’m a sucker for a good romance, anyway. Throw in some vampires, and what’s not to like? Okay, it could have time travel. There is that!
