More Tudors

I just watched the episode of the Tudors that had the sweating death. We are not to sure what it was and why people were sick.

One of the hard things is the amount of pills that are taken. Most did not work. I wonder what Henry would do today? Tons of diet pill and other such items.

I mean he did so much for what did not work, what would he do if something did work.

Have a most happy day.

The Tudors

I have finally been watching the Tudors from HBO. Okay so the history is a bit (read alot) flawed. It still gives an idea of court and king.

Not to bad.

Presidents

I was recently asked for my list of best and worst presidents.

The best:
1. Washington
2. Jefferson
3. Regan
4. Teddy Roosevelt

The Worst
1. FDR
2. John Adams
3. Carter
4. LBJ

Not on the list
Clinton - to early to tell, we need another 20 years.
JF k - Did not do much.

In the past we had buttons

In the past we had really good buttons. Most of the buttons would last and would become collector items. Now we have funny t-shirts that well . . . do not stand the test of time.

I love the buttons, I have been tempted to wear a few during this election season. However with the hostilities out there, it is hard to do. I mean if I wear the wrong button someone will . . . be really mad. and then yell at me.

Have a happy day.

FDR Again

I have been thinking of FDR again. We have lived with his social polocies for 70 years. The bad news is that they are a failure. Everything that wanted to be done, well did not get done. Yes some stuff did get done. However, he prolonged the government takeover and the depression. He also prolonged the war.

Holiday

We all have holiday appetizers that we like to serve. This year we are going to do out little party again.

Of course it is always a bog to-do with little done in the long run. Personally, I do not like it. Lots of poeple, lots of cleaning, lots of stuff. And ususally I already know the food, so nothing fun to eat. Now going to them . . . mmmmm . . . I like that.

Well I hope that you have a most happy day.

Thoughts on Shoes

Manolo Blahnik for all his fashion designs and hits from Carrie in the show Sex and the City, started from a very humble start.

He grew up of all places, on a banana plantation. I wonder how that affected his designs. The good news, is he zigged when other zagged and with a 2000 pound loan started designing shoes for Runway Models.

Have a happy day.

Looking Backwards.

I am not a fan of employment screening that are going on these days.

There are much more garbage happening when private companies are doing what the govenremnt does and yet with no oversight. I realize there is a need to know what is going on in a past. However, people should be allowed to bury certian things. Now people cannot. Credit checks are done and more.

I do not mind ciminal checks. Of course the bad news is that most people with a minor infraction are never hired. Still yet a better reason to stay out of trouble.

The Ancient Dream

MLK was often considered to be communist. However, in my mind, I think that he believed in America. That America is a better place anywehre else than anywhere else. Yes, we have our problems. Yes we had a problem with the DEL of racism and other such -isms.

Even though he was conisdered a communist by his detractors, I have never thought he was. Now that we have increased the disparity in America with 1Trillion in new inflation. We need someone to call us back.
