My Platform

Here is what I believe in...

Long slow kisses that last for....whoops, I slipped into my Bull Durham mode.

Second try...

Everyone should start their day with a song that makes them feel happy.

Tax cuts for the rich, paid for with borrowed money is ridiculous.

Smoking in public should be banned unless the smoker is wearing a smoking helmet which allows him to carry his cloud of smoke around with him.

I'm in favor of extending unemployment so long as the unemployment rate is above 8%.

I think we should each greet each other when we pass in the street.

I believe Obama made a mistake by negotiating without his party being involved.

Popeye's chicken is way better than KFC.

I think an expired tax cut that is replaced in February with a new tax cut for the middle/lower class and made retroactive is the same as extending a tax cut but without the taxes for the rich.

I think the Hertz rental service at the Chicago airport is the worse in the country.

Peanuts is the best comic strip out there; but the Far Side is a close second.

I'm in favor of repealing the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy that is so foolish as to be embarrassing to me.

I think I was lucky to be born American.  It was luck.  I didn't earn it and have no feeling of "I deserve it."

The Dream Act, an immigration bill, is a great idea; one of many being held hostage by the GOP.

NEVER negotiate with terrorists.

Wesley is right, the scrambled eggs at Hampton Inns are terrible.  However, they (Hampton Inns, not the scrambled eggs) make great biscuits and gravy.

I'm convinced the Republican Party is made up of rich people trying to make themselves richer and they believe the rest of us are not smart enough to notice.

Obama has what it takes to do the job.  He just hasn't figured it out yet.

Building a fence to keep out Mexico is the dumbest idea since "Don't ask Don't tell."

We owe it to Mexico to fight their drug battles.  After all, we are the market that is supporting those drug lords.

300 is the best movie ever...after the Sound of Music.

I love coaching wrestling, watching college football live and listening to baseball on the radio.

I think every man wants to find a Jeep Wrangler under the tree this year; even if he doesn't know it.

I love Christmas music and the holiday season in general.

I think my mental state is closely linked to my physical state and visa-versa.

George W. was a worse president than most think.  George H. was better than most think.

I think we need an Energy Policy and a Manufacturing Policy.  Start building those nuclear power plants.  Electric cars don't run on air.

I love watching my dog (the one in Hungary) play in the snow.  She's a good girl.

Family Guy is really, really funny.

Without heroes, the world would be in big trouble.

Up, up and away...
