So, Americans Aren't Just Ugly.

We're also stingy.

Though I would like to see our private charitable donations corrected for the parts of the country that have lower taxes--particularly if we're going to compare ourselves with the Western Europeans, who tend to have less disposable income because it all went to their governments.

The business of Obama and his half-brother, however, makes me sick. You'd think Big O would at least send him a stipend . . . or would that make him a target? It seems even a tiny amount of money could make a big difference in this man's life.


Of course, I'm sensitive about this: I still feel sorry for Julian Lennon, and I should have gotten over that years ago.

Not that I'm really comparing the elder Lennon son to Obama's half-brother. Or to David Cassidy's upbringing vis a vis Shawn's.

It's all relative, but the unfairness of life grates on me.

Anyway, in this particular context Obama's a pig. End of story.

1 Hey now that I live in Canada, I am missing the USA. I saw a comedian last night who pointed out that Americans spend half of their taxes in defense, an astronomical amount compared to Canada. Yet their taxes are lower. Now I am proud to get free health care, but I am not sure if it is worth it. After all more Canadians are dying in Afghanistan, fighting a war that they never asked for. And Americans are sending aid to Georgia, as if Iraq and Afghanistan could not possibly need re-building. I hope McCain does win, we need this pendulum to shift even more to the right, so that some of you who are asleep may wake up!
