A little pinch of truth



Momma Duck goofed on this one. I hope someone came by and rescued her brood. This cartoon reminded me of the time we lived in California and the Governors tripled taxes to make a balanced budget,then bragged for years about how smart they were; wonder what happened as they are more than half way to couple of steps to bankruptcy and looking for someone to bail them out. Maybe 'they' should all go back to school and take some courses in how to budget. I'm sure a lot of folks would be glad to show the politicians, in general, how to tell a debit from a credit.
This President may go down in history for having the most vacation time. I don't begrudge him and his family vacations as we all need one . . . one being the magic word in my musing this morning. Some folks are not in a position to even think about a little down time called vacation; but are in a slump of down time with no jobs and need the full attention of the 'rich and famous'. It is time to get down to serious business, starting from the 'top'.
Cartoons a way of telling what is going on with politics . . . so many of them trusted with our future, and so many of us who need to wake up and find out what they are doing with this 'trust'. The old year is all but gone and it has been what an old timer would call a 'doozy'. Our 'complacent' way of life has been shaken and now it is time to wake up and get on the 'awareness' pathways and help, rather than hinder, wherever we can. We have a new year coming in so keep your extra pounds and work on helping the politicians lose 'the fat' and balance the budget. What a mess we are in.
So today, think about your own personal life and your needs and wants. . . wanting is wishful and wasteful thinking; go for the needs and work hard to put your budget in order and maybe, just maybe, at the mid year you can go on a vacation . . . I guess vacations are 'needful' . . .'wants' when you come right down to it. Make today a good one, as cartoon Maxine says today . . . Men are like snow shovels. Nice to keep around for that one time of year when you really need 'em." So if you are lucky enough to have a good 'man' in your life . . . hug him right now. Hugs to all.
