Weekly Thought Bonanza Feb 3rd

On Sunday/Monday (or Wednesday after my week’s vacation), I produce a column called “The Weekly Thought Bonanza”. The column is based on all of the random thoughts that run through my head all week, and trust me there are a plethora of them. I will try to share as many of these thoughts as I can, so each one of my readers can think just a little bit extra over the coming week.


February sweeps bring all the stars to the small screen. Some of the best television of the year happens this month. Too bad there is eleven months of terrible television in between.

Madonna was an incredibly talented entertainer about fifteen years ago. To me she gets one of my “lost their fastball” awards.

Microsoft’s new search engine Bing seems to be a winner for Microsoft to gain a bit of Google’s stranglehold on the web’s search engine monopoly. Is it me or do every time you hear the word Bing, you think of Chandler Bing, aka Matthew Perry, from Friends.

Why would a company name their product Smart Water? It is water for the love of god.

A father this week shot both his daughter and wife over the stresses of college tuition bills. First off there is not a reason in the world that you should ever do harm to a woman over anything, especially using a weapon. Secondly and most importantly, if you feel the urge to shoot others first please shoot yourself.

Former Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra is "widely expected" to retire, according to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle. The 1997 American League Rookie of the Year, Garciaparra was with Boston until the middle of the 2004 season, when he was traded to the Cubs. Garciaparra finished his nine-plus years in a Red Sox uniform with 178 homers and 690 RBI, to go along with a .323 batting average. A six-time All-Star and former batting champ, he spent the tail end of his career with the Dodgers and Athletics but never managed to find the same level of success he had earlier in his career in Boston. “Nomah” will always be loved in Boston.

Leverage is one show worth watching on TNT.

My second “lost their fastball award” goes to Joan Rivers. If I never see her plastic surgery done face again it will be too soon.

About 40 percent of cancers could be prevented if people stopped smoking and overeating, limited their alcohol, exercised regularly and got vaccines targeting cancer-causing infections, experts say.



To mark World Cancer day on Thursday, officials at the International Union Against Cancer released a report focused on steps that governments and the public can take to avoid the disease.

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is responsible for one out of every eight deaths worldwide - more than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. WHO warned that without major changes, global cancer deaths will jump from about 7.6 million this year to 17 million by 2030. In Western nations, experts said many of the top cancers - like those in the lungs, breasts and colon - might be avoided if people changed their lifestyle habits. To reduce their risk, the agency recommended that people stop smoking, limit their alcohol consumption, avoid too much sun, and maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Let’s take note of this folks.

The Weekly Thought Bonaza Thought of the week; Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Monday called for President Obama to fire his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, because of an offensive comment he reportedly made. At an August strategy session of liberal groups and White House aides, the Wall Street Journal recently reported, Emanuel told liberals they were "F-ing retarded" for planning to air attack ads against conservative Democrats opposed to health care reform.
Palin, whose youngest child has Down Syndrome, said in Facebook note that "our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm's recent sick and offensive tactic." If Karl Rove said this, the liberal media would have had his head on a platter.

Weekly Thought Bonanza January 24th

On Sunday/Monday, I produce a column called “The Weekly Thought Bonanza”. The column is based on all of the random thoughts that run through my head all week, and trust me there are a plethora of them. I will try to share as many of these thoughts as I can, so each one of my readers can think just a little bit extra over the coming week.


It has been a week after the election of Senator-elect Scott Brown. Brown ran a perfect campaign to win the liberal state of Massachusetts. Senator-elect Brown looks like he will be a big difference maker in the senate.

Can America regain the economy it had in the early part of the last decade? Tax cuts are the only way to stimulate growth. We cannot mortgage our children and grandchildren’s future by continuing to mortgage their future.

Indianapolis and New Orleans in the Super bowl should be an interesting offensive showdown in Miami.

Haiti is getting pledged millions and millions of dollars and there seems to be no progress in getting the country’s leadership back up and operational. Here is hoping that the money will be well spent.

There is going to be some serious ramifications in the Middle East if the Iranians do not stop their nuclear weapons ambitions. It is only getting worse.

Brangelina is breaking up. Jennifer Anniston must have a huge smile on her face.

The chief of the U.N.'s climate science panel says he isn't going anywhere, despite calls for his head amid allegations that he is a sloppy scientist who presided over a report that contained intentionally misleading statements. Talk about job security. The U.N. is making labor unions look like small potatoes.

Arlington County authorities are investigating the death of a man last week after police used a stun gun to subdue him. Thirty-six-year-old William Bumbrey III died Jan. 18 after being arrested on suspicion of shoplifting near the Pentagon City Metro station.

Detective Crystal Nosal, a spokeswoman for the Arlington County police, says Bumbrey became combative and uncooperative and continued to fight with the officers after they used the stun gun. He died a short time later after being taken to a hospital. Bumbrey's family says he had serious medical problems and was addicted to PCP. The family has hired a lawyer who specializes in stun gun cases and wants police to release a video of the incident. Why would the police use a stun gun?

Bolstered by a White House lobbying effort that included the president, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's chances at a second four-year term improved Monday, calming a stock market that had grown anxious over the uncertainty of his support. President Barack Obama championed Bernanke in an interview on Monday as his aides worked the phones to ensure the Fed chairman is confirmed by the Senate. To me he has been a major disappointment. How did he not know about the subprime market collapse?

The Weekly Thought Bonanza thought of the week; Comedian Andy Dick has been arrested for two counts of felony sexual abuse, while still on probation from his infamous 2008 arrest for pulling down a teen girl's top. The attack allegedly happened early Saturday morning in West Virginia, after Dick appeared at the Funny Bone Comedy Club and Restaurant in Huntington. Dick is currently in the Western Regional Jail, police confirm.

"Based upon statements of two victims and independent witness accounts alleging that he had engaged in unwanted and uninvited groping of the two victims' genital areas, Andrew R. Dick (AKA Andy Dick) of South Pasadena, Calif., was arrested and charged with two counts of Sex Abuse in the First Degree," read a statement from the Huntington Police Department. What is this moron thinking?

Fiscal Responsibilty People

Why is it so bad that people live the American Dream? I never believed that Americans looked down success until recently. Let’s tax the ‘rich” so as to let people to stop striving to get ahead in this world.

Let me explain what exactly I am talking about. A man and a woman, college educated is considered “rich” by this administration and the democratic led congress. The politicians are telling Americans to stop striving for the high tech jobs and stay in the lower tax bracket.

The liberals in America are killing the American spirit by taxing the people that are building America’s future. American needs to continue its innovation and it needs it best and her brightest to prosper. Taxing our brightest to the point where prospering becomes an unfulfilling prophecy will end America’s best advantage to the rest of the world, her people’s drive for a better life.

My experience as a businessman has taught me when something isn't working in a company it needs to be fixed, changed or reformed. And right now the tax and spend system in Washington isn't working for American families or small businesses. We need to bring real change to the system so that taxpayers know their hard earned money isn't going to some wasteful government program instead of wasting monies on programs that do not work.

We all know that taxes are simply too high, too burdensome and too complex. We need real changes in the way we are taxed, how much we are taxed and how much time we spend filing our taxes. When real reformers are elected, only then will the tax burden for American’s and on small businesses which are the engines that drive our economy and create jobs, and simplify the tax code.

If we are to continue to live as we have, Americans will have to pay higher taxes and our standard of living is destined to failure. Under both the Democrats and the Republicans we overspend and ignore the fact that we would be much better off with a balanced budget. So cut my taxes and cut the excess spending - one or the other or both.

With unemployment rising, the payroll tax revenue that finances Social Security benefits for nearly 51 million retirees is falling. As a result, the trust fund's annual surplus is forecast to all but vanish next year, nearly a decade ahead of schedule. Though President Barack Obama has pledged to address the financial situation of Social Security, the administration currently has no plan to do so. Under pressure from congressional Democrats, the White House last month dropped a proposal to name a task force to re-examine the program.



Many believe our new president will take America to a new and better future. However, it seems to be going from bad to worse. We need to stand with and support those leaders who are for fiscal responsibility.

Senator Scott Brown

My mother is a democrat, she thinks John Fitzgerald Kenney is the standard bearer for all politicians ever. She has had a tough time over the last few days and she supported the new Senator from Massachusetts Scott Brown. Yes, the deep blue state of Massachusetts has voted for Republican Scott Brown for the United States Senate. The Senate seat held by her beloved John Kennedey and most recently the late Edward Kennedy. Republicans are back.


Senator Scott Brown is the new type of republican. Brown ran against the healthcare bill, higher taxes and runaway government spending. Democrats in 2010 beware, the people have spoken.

I have never been so excited to wait for election results in my lifetime. The excitement in this race was amazing. Brown came from over thirty points behind just a month ago to win this election.

Former Governor and Presidential candidate Mitt Romney said it best this evening, “The nation will thank you shortly and the United States senate belongs to the people.’

Scott Brown’s victory tonight is the shot heard round the country. Brown’s best tag line through the last two weeks has been, ‘this is the people’s seat.” Yes Scott, it is the people’s seat and you just won it with the people’s help.

Massachusetts has shown its independence and the country will follow this year in the mid-term elections. The country wants new leadership, she wants a voice in congress, and mostly she a healthy debate on the issues.

With 97 percent of precincts reporting, returns show Brown leading Coakley 52-47 percent, by a margin of 120,000 votes. Independent candidate Joseph Kennedy was pulling 1 percent.

The GOP state senator, once sworn in, will break the Democrats' 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority in Washington. This creates problems for proposed legislation ranging from financial regulatory reform to cap-and-trade, but most immediately Brown's win sends Democrats into a scramble to pass health care reform before he arrives in Washington. Democrats were already weighing options for how to fast-track the bill before polls closed Tuesday. Fast tracking a bill is just wrond. Ask Massachusetts.

Coakley, in her concession speech, said she was "heartbroken" by the result but thanked the Kennedy family for their support in the race and said she respects the voters' choice.

Hey Scott, thanks for opening up the debate. Gas up the truck, you are heading to Washington D. C., Senator Brown.

Weekly Thought Bonanza January 18th

On Sunday/Monday, I produce a column called “The Weekly Thought Bonanza”. The column is based on all of the random thoughts that run through my head all week, and trust me there are a plethora of them. I will try to share as many of these thoughts as I can, so each one of my readers can think just a little bit extra over the coming week.

The devastation in Haiti has been just terrible to watch on television. I have to say that I can not in good conscious just give monies to any group that asks. We gave Haiti three billion dollars in the last few years and it was squandered by an inept government and rampant corruption. Hopefully Presidents Bush and Clinton will straighten out the situation.

Martha Coakley and Scott Brown are battling it out for Senator Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. Brown has surprisingly pulled ahead in the race even with President Obama’s support. What urkes me the most is that Obama spent Sunday campaigning when he should have been working on getting Americans found in Haiti.

Watching the Jets and the Colts on Sunday is every New England Patriots fan’s nightmare.

Could there be anything better than the start of a new season of 24? Jack Bauer is absolutely the man. The best show on television period.

A Scott Brown victory on January 19th will bring down Obama’s health care reform bill. The only reason Brown has come from 30 points behind is America’s distaste for the bill. The bill is being rammed down the throats of Americans and it has not tasted good. With the GOP winning governors races in New Jersey and Virginia since the bills passage you would think the democrats would have learned something.

Mark Mcguire admitted to doing steroids this past week. What a major surprise. Mcguire seems like a good man, here is hoping he gets some inner peace.

Glen W. Bell Jr., an entrepreneur best known as the founder of the Taco Bell chain, has died. He was 86. I will just say, “Yo quiero Taco Bell!” I have always thought outside the bun.

The Golden Globe awards were held last night and again “hollyweird” was again out of tune with the American public. This is so getting old. The dresses, the speeches, and the worries about politics will bring the ratings down lower that they already are.

More than 40 years after her family was forced from their home because they were black, Sallie Sanders received the keys to a new house built to settle one of the longest-running cases of housing discrimination in the United States.

"My parents would be ecstatic that their offspring would be able to enjoy the things they couldn't," the 60-year-old Sanders said Monday before a ceremony to celebrate the milestone on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Hamtramck agreed in 1980 to develop 200 family housing units to make up for violating the civil rights of blacks whose neighborhoods were targeted by white officials to make way for urban renewal projects in the 1960s. Good for you Sallie.

The Weekly Thought Bonanza thought of the week; This week was a tough week with the events in Haiti, here is hoping that we will have some positive news this week.
