It's Time For Some Fireworks

Here's a little history lesson for those that have forgotten exactly why we celebrate the 4th of July! Have a happy one.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: SchoolHouse Rock - Walkin' On Wall Street

After this week's Wall Street roller coaster ride, one could only hope that investing was so easy that a pigeon could do it. Unfortunately many feel otherwise after losing a fortune after S&P downgraded American debt last weekend.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: School House Rock - I'm Just A Bill

It's Saturday Morning, time for a cartoon.

This week Congressmen Frank Pallone and Rush Holt held town hall meetings in Monmouth County to discuss health care reform with there constituents. Like many such meeting held throughout the country, the town halls here were rowdy affairs.

Many of the attendees really didn't have a clue about how a bill is written, introduced, voted on, then presented to the president to sign into law. They only chose to show their ignorance by shouting down others who did not agree with their point of view.

Working their way through congress right now are 5 separate bills (2 in the Senate, 3 in the House) that deal with health care reform. All 5 need to be voted on the reconciled and merged into 1 comprehensive bill to be signed by President Obama.

Much of the behavior going on at many of these town hall meetings, are counter-productive and add nothing to the debate other than angry, uninformed rhetoric that should be curtailed in exchange for real honest and open answers.

Now that my bowl of "Life" cereal is sufficiently soggy, it's time to sit back and watch.

Happy 4th of July

I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July this year and I hope that you will enjoy my little SchoolHouse Rock tribute to our Nation.

God Bless America !
