Graphic Therapy & The Great Recession


I was unable to sleep and decided to noodle on my facebook. I found a friend Emily who has this draws web-comic called GRAPHIC THERAPY . I really got hooked on it. I saw her alot when she went to college at Penn. She is a close friend of Wes, who I have known since 3rd grade back in the horrible early 70's learning "new math" and the civilization of UR now a part of Iraq. Anyway she writes about Craig Rabinowitz. He is the most infamous of the Lower Merion Class of 1981. It was bigger then OJ Simpson in the Philly Daily News. In short he spent $$$ on a stripper named "Summer", then killed his wife in the bathtub for the insurance.
Anyhow, its going to feel like Summer by Thursday and Friday this week. It may hit 90 by Friday. Meanwhile the Great Recession drags on. An example here in Millville is the Millville Jet Center is closing at the end of this month closing at the end of this month. At least Millville and the Millville Housing Authority are trying to help . It may drag down President Obama as well. If that happens will we end up with President Palin or President Newt?? I am going to predict right now that once again health care reform will die on the vine. Congress is so beholden to special intrests in the health care industry that its impossible for them to work for us who need a real health care reform. A public plan like single payer would be the most efficiant solution but this is the good ole US of A. Hate to be pessimistic but watching CSPAN is quite interesting.
Here in Millville the city had to cut the Fireworks and the children's activities and of course a member of Millville First has to argue that increased code enforcement is a bad thing. Would he be happier if his real estate taxes go up to pay for the 33K that his mentor the Judge is costing the city? Just courious.......
Well, time to get more shut eye..Bye

Mark, can you name one program the federal government runs currently that you would describe as efficient?
