Az I See It....
Prologue: Doesn't 'expecting the unexpected' make the unexpected expected?
National: Texas Gov. Rick 'Pray with me' Perry, in announcing his bid for the presidency, actually said the following: "We are not defined by class in the United States." "I will end Obamacare!" 'Obama is responsible for the bailouts.'(Not Bush?) "I am proud that I balanced Texas' budget." He did it by eliminating many social services for the most vulnerable of his constituents. None were voting Republicans. He 'regrets the recent loss of life of our 'special operators.' He even sounds like GWB! "I will lower taxes!"(for the wealthy and for corporations) He does NOT mean lowering income taxes for the middle or lower-classes. Oh, I'm sorry - we are not defined by class in the United States!....When Republicans vow 'low taxes,' keep in mind(Michele Bachmann) - the already TEN years of Bush tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans have correlated into the highest unemployment rate in many decades. They kept the money!....Political polls consistently show that voters are greatly dissatisfied with Congress, however almost 90% are happy with their own representatives. The only way to elect a non-incumbent is to have them retire, or to resign in disgrace!....The six Republican appointees to the debt-ceiling Super Committee are all men - and no minorities!....Congress has now decided that the present U.S. Military retirement program is no longer affordable(military pay is among the lowest compensation compared to most careers.) It seems only the Congressional retirement program is still affordable!....Republicans are 'inflicting' Christianity in their campaigns. We do not need to acknowledge their religious affiliations. We need them to act like Christians and assist those who need assistance - even if it means sharing(Bah! Humbug!)
State: Arizona now offers a 2-year high school diploma program, in an attempt to decrease its nation-leading freshman-year dropout statistics. One year, two years, four years - under any Arizona program, students still come away with at least two years less education than other more reputable public education systems!....Arizona politicians, and other public 'leaders,' are aghast at the recent spate of brutal child abuse cases across the state. Really? REALLY? Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery was quoted, "Ultimately, the degree to which we call ourselves a civilized society is directly related to how we stand up for the defenseless and innocent among us." In the same Arizona Republic newspaper edition that reported this, it was also reported that a Maricopa County Superior Court judge approved massive cuts to AHCCCS(Medicaid); state politicians were stone-walling the voter-approved medical marijuana laws; the state legislature denies the acceptance of federal money to extend long-term unemployment benefits, saying, 'Let them eat cake!' - and an Arizona Supreme Court judge has allowed unconstitutional, anti-abortion restrictions to stand - at least until the U.S. Supreme Court strikes them down!
Sports: The NL West D'Backs lead their division in victories, but trail the league in attendance. To what extent will the owners go to put fans in the seats? Well, Charlie Sheen was taking batting practice, preparing for his upcoming role in Major League 3. But what price for WINNING?....Keegan Bradley won more than $1.4M for his PGA Championship victory. Inexplicably, he gave half of it to the former Mrs. Tiger Woods!
Epilogue: A man will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item he wants. A woman will pay two-dollars for a one-dollar item she doesn't want!
