CHAIN STORES, CORPORATIONS AND ENERGY COMPANIES AND YOU

Is your electric bill going up for no understandable reason? I opened my bill and found a $150 dollar raise. The moment I saw the demand, I knew my family was in trouble. The power conglomerate was now asking close to $500 per month for a bill that not too long ago was $275. $500 for electricity? and a fat monthly raise. I am a retired civil servant and my wife is a p/t kitchen worker in the school. We are also a family of four with one going to college. I figure she will have a lifetime loan. Unless your family has a way to make a commission sale, we are being hit with raises in property taxes, energy, food, insurance and our customary payments such as mortgages which will now face a deletion of the interest deduction. Where is all this money going to come from? If we as consumers become tapped out paying others we will not be able to spend and there is your double dip. So I called the electric company on the phone attempting to make a payment arrangement with interest. Arrogance of Power. The lady took credit for "allowing me to speak", thanks I thought I already had the right. They assured me that if I was short they would not sue me but shut off my power. In a Recession that may get worse. That is a nice how do you do. It reaffirms the way we are treated in this country by big firms. I actually had a big chain appliance store walk away from fixing my washing machine. This is the first time in American Industry that there is a gruff attitude toward  consumers, it has been about two years.

Has Sarah Palin Changed?

November 24, 2012
Firstly, I have always, since the debut of Sarah Palin on the American Political scene liked her, believed her to be formidably courageous, unfairly treated by the Left, SNL and young kids on the Internet. As a Freelance Writer with a fair number of readers and followers world wide, when I founded my business, Freelance Writing I instituted a mission statement always favorable to my readers and committed to reporting my observations in a truthful and non partisan manner. I have not supported any hopeful for 2012 at this early time constraint but I have written favorably about Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina. I have indicated that whoever wins the Republican nomination, at that point I will campaign and blog on the Internet for the winner including Sarah Palin. The last couple of interviews with Sarah Palin on cable have given me cause for concern. For me I notice a change in personality. She seems giddy, louder and anxious. She spent too much time talking about Mama Grizzles, personally a slogan that I do not think works, more family situations that are not that serious so that  focusing on them in any intensity is helpful. I would have done anything in my power as a potential national candidate to enjoin my daughter from going on the dance program. Primarily, her daughter cannot dance in a credible fashion and there was a vote controversy. It is apparent that any further microscopic activity by the press would not assist Ms. Palin in the area of familial matters. In at least two recent interviews Sarah Palin a potential President spent an inordinate amount of time talking about the status of the two daughters who have a modicum of issues, woman's rights and the history thereof, press attacks on her family and appearing to be nevous and excitable. That is solely my observation and no matter what presentation she makes or hows she appears to the voters, if she wins the Republican nomination, I will support her candidacy to the best of my capability.

Customer Service is Dead In America

All the uncertainty of the new healthcare, a failed economy, stock market devoid of underpinnings, 401K crashes and two wars have succeeded in making the customer service representatives you are talking to afraid for their own hide and in fear of their job evaporating, particularly in the health care vertical market. I called my provider tonight simply asking for a fax number and I was given the proverbial run a round with the lady saying that she had no fax numbers. They must think we are intellectually challenged to believe stuff like that. Recently, I had to actually discard a brand new GE washer because the appliance chain store did not have the wherewithal to repair it, even suggesting that I severe the connections and move the unit into my living room for repair. I bought a new Maytag from Home Depot because I had so little confidence in this hyped up chain store and Home Depot handled everything with precision. I was just last week with my 800 credit rating turned over to third party collection in a arbitrary manner with no back up. Every office I called within the insurer or the collector confessed that they had nothing to do with it but they always send you reeling to another office who dismisses you as well. Do you identify with me and my problems with customer service units? Please get back to me with your war stories.

The Tea Party Does Not Practice a Policy of Exclusion

My sister, a very Liberal professor called me tonight to talk about an article in a hallowed major magazine which claimed that the Tea Party is not diverse.Since they came on the scene which I believe was a phenomena that had to happen to prevent this country from going in the wrong direction, they have also been labeled racists and haters of Obama. Absolutely none of this has one iota of truth to it, just the old play on words half sentence psychological warfare aimed at the less studious members of their base who do not bother to quantify what they were being told. The decision at McDonald's and 3M at divestiture of health care last week is a good example of why all of us are in danger pf losing our plans. Sure we can stay on them initially and that is why this promise was a half sentence.The Tea Party is not especially diverse but does not practice any policy of excluding anyone. Black people have no reason to join a party, their political views mesh with the Democratic Party where they have remained and enjoyed political power for a very long time. So why would a Black family leave a political party that they know and has worked for them to join the Tea Party?another half sentence, the Tea Party lacks diversity. Actually there are a good number of Black people that attend Tea Party rallies only to be pounced on by MSM reporters.Bottom line, they want anybody in the Tea Party and everybody is welcome. It is how the Left spins that causes antipathy and confusion. If you like your healthcare you can keep it, required some more pertinent information to be added.

Electing Jerry Brown May Mean That California Is Facing Its Dying Breath

After what Internet contributors viewed as a dirty tricks sting by Jerry Brown and his campaign and high profile gouging lawyer against his adversary, a brilliant and honest CEO with a double digit lead in IQ, Brown, the man who could not defeat a President who was famous for keeping us waiting in 4 hour gas lines is pulling away in the polls. You know why he is? I'll clue you in because I cannot get through his stammering answers. He may actually win because Californians are party people and full of unions who know they are going to cash out when he returns for  the third time after a stint in Oakland as Mayor. The party relies partly to dope which you know is coming in with Jerry and absolutely not with Meg Whitman. Meg Whitman may be too straight for the free thinkers who want to walk around stoned all day. They do not realize that they also will not have jobs and be compelled to go to food banks. Does it make sense to elect a man who has been there and tried the old way, the only way he knows versus a brilliant youthful woman who was CEO of a major corporation. Jerry knows politics. Meg also knows how to raise the bottom line which is better. So if you want to stay at the party vote for the candidate who like most pugilists has stayed at the party far to long. Out of the two candidates don't let your jealousies or emotions get in the way of making California the prosperous state it once was. Meg Whitman is going to get in there and work for California and remember Everybody Must Get Stoned is not a good idea, being in a constant and continuous reverie is not going to do anything positive for Californians.

Where Are We Going With Political Guttersniping

It was clear from the beginning that a fine young woman running for the Senate in Delaware with Tea Party backing had made some curious but proper statements in her youth. Like thousands of others in a failed economy she at one time had some mortgage trouble with the bank, regular stuff in a recession. This young woman had guts and determination, courage and a sound knowledge of politics, having run for office before. Her name is Christine O'Donnell. What gets me is that right out of the shoot, before she had a chance to state her positions in this troubled world, the comedians,MSM and opposing Party started in with the smear campaign. The fact that we are entering an era of thus far permissible nuclear proliferation, created for them the opportuity to display their silliness as they hounded the public and her campaign about a self induced sexual subject. Then they decided to visit acting jobs on cable shows where she made some harmless declarations evidently desired by the show's grooming producers maybe ten years ago.W.C. Fields could not have afforded the public a better comedy act. America has the highest level of poverty in history and unemployment is sky high and no jobs. That is why it was necessary to distract all of us with information that I will say disappeared when Christine reached adulthood and besides nothing she said was improper. The big question is that none of these detractors was as bright and effective and right on top of the issues as the candidate, so they were grasping at straws in a failed attempt to  foul her up with her many supporters.I predict her election.


California is a dead body waiting to be revived by Meg Whitman and even though I am fond of Jerry Brown, I do not think he has the get up and go and has too many political connections to do this job. Meg is a CEO as is Carley Fiorina. That type of speedy thinking and intellectual power and multi-tasking and delegating authority is what California, a terminal patient needs to begin and implement recovery. Meg got slimed too the other day but her reputation and integrity is beyond reproach so things are getting dimmed on this.  It is a shame that any professional would try to jeopardize California and national recovery by implicating Meg Whitman in something she had no part of  and even contemplating throwing off the election.Timing is everything when you are fishing for a big settlement. I think they wanted to get Meg, with deep pockets at a special time when they could throw the bear trap. Did not and will not work. I predict Meg Whitman as the next Governor of California.

Let's Listen to the Tea Party Movement And Then Begin To Consolidate

Historically speaking if a third party manages to actually run on a row, one party loses out much more than the other. Insofar as I realize anti-incumbency feelings and some anti-congressional thought aimed at both Republicans and Democrat representatives, 2010 is a make it or break it election for a change. The Republican Party has not shown bipartisanship in the health care debate but neither have the Democrats who shut their adversaries out for the most part. The Republican Party exhibited air tight solidarity and crafted ideas which were not given too much respect in a quirky and unprecedented OK corral bill passage. I have never in my life seen such contentiousness toward a subject that was dear to the hearts of any American who has ever been sick.Now states, lawyers, Attorneys General and just plain folks all in unison desire a repeal. The tea party must understand that their ideology is close to the Republican Party and in this debate they showed much more professionalism as a unit. Revamping Congress whether leaning Republican or a total capture will be difficult and certainly not a given. Mr. Obama at 50% popularity still has admirers. Our success will be impossible unless tea party officials begin discussions now with Mr. Steele and staff to consolidate and win. Protest votes have never won an election, our American voters tend to vote for either of the two major parties and that will not change so let's work with what we have.
