A few thoughts while wondering what on earth I have to do to get my swimming pool from cloudy to crystal-clear again:

If you have a chance, check out Killing Kennedy on the National Geographic channel. It’s the movie version of Bill O’Reilly’s fine book. It’s fast-faced, riveting, and a great tale. Prediction: watch Barack Obama’s popularity take a further nosedive as even Democrats compare JFK’s legacy against a President who has been revealed to be nothing but a lying and incompetent farce. To think this clown occupies the same Oval Office as JFK did shows just how much this country has fallen in just a half-century’s time.

Between watching Killing Kennedy and a special on JFK’s last 48 hours that followed it last night I was struck with a great sense of sadness and melancholy – not because he was a great, bad, or indifferent president – that’s for the historians to discuss – but because he and Jackie were so young, so full of life, so charismatic, and the kind of people others aspired to be like. Maybe it’s just me, but I couldn’t help but watch them and the way they carried themselves in comparison to the current occupants of the White House who are nothing but calculating, lying, and manipulating opportunists and charlatans. You can say all you want about JFK’s shortcomings – and there were many – but you could tell he and Jackie held their office and position in extremely high regard. America lost more than just a President when JFK was shot.

No Oprah, it’s because your President is nothing but a incompetent and radical Socialist who has driven this country to the brink of insolvency and despair by his failed wealth-distribution policies. But you’re too ignorant too even consider such a concept.

One can only hope.

And the hits just keep on coming.

The European Tour has done some cool commercials for how good their golfers are, but this about takes the cake.

Hard to believe the holiday season is here in less than two weeks. Who’s got plans? I know I don’t – no money.
