On Haiti and Massachusetts

Ok, two major tremors today. I don't have much time but I can't let two dramatic events go uncommmented on.

First, Haiti. They had another quake today. Almost 6.0 but fortunately it looks like damage is minimal compared to the original and its aftershocks. My in-laws have spent the last 28 hours working their way from Indiana to Titayen, Haiti to provide some much needed physical relief to those on the compound they used to serve on. Our prayers go out to them for their safety and that they can provide some relief.

Second, Massachusetts. I don't care what you say, if Massachusetts elects a Republican Senator it is a referendum on Obama and the current policies of the Democrats in charge of Congress. It seems Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are just too arrogant to realize that the American People for the most part do not want a trillion dollar public health care program. Health care reform, yes. New uncontrollable spending absolutely not. Part of me hopes they get the message and the other part says keep going. At least if they keep pushing this falls election should be historic in the turnover.

I would love to see an election that puts people in office that want to adhere to the constitution and reign in spending. I don't care what party they are as long as they don't want to do business in secret or keep finding ways to protect their own self interests.

TaTa for Now
