Taxes

Compromise:

At least, they didn't strip everyone of their deductions, even expanding the per child tax credit, and teachers can still deduct their expenses.

This is our system, where one side pitches the idea of basically stripping all government spending of "handouts" only to spend on the military, roads and bridges, while the other pitches government takeover of the health Care system where everyone receives "complimentary" health care to EVERYONE IS FORCED TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE.

I believe they dropped the MANDATE. That was the last I heard. Can someone confirm, or deny this?

In the end, it's not the end of the world, but the of extremist rhetoric for the moment. Don't worry, it will be back soon. That IS our system.

Like wishing there weren't any holidays and we judged each day alike, instead of retailers doing something like 80% of their business during the holiday season at the end of the year rather than business being spread evenly throughout the year... It is not a reality. Its just a pipe dream. This is our system, of COMPROMISE.

As I once read on a bathroom wall, "Any fool knows you can't reach the Starz, but a wise man still tries".  So, maybe you want to be the next Hugh Hefner. But, what if you just get a great wife instead? Would that be so bad?

Compromise. We set our goals high on both sides, male and female alike. We, more often than not, achieve less than our imaginations might dream up. Stomp on the gas pedal. Slam on the brakes. Peace is in the middle. And, hopefully, in the Middle East. And, certainly for Jerusalem where the USA is right in the middle.

Shalom

Merry Christmas

Happy Chanukah

Assalamualaikum

Happy Holidays!

When we all stop claiming to know God better than anybody else, we will find rest. But, what are we going to do about the nukes until then?

Compromise? Just don't use them.

Films, Motion Pictures & MOVIES!

Immediately, by my use of the term "movies", you know I am not a Film Snob.  I also did not grow up in the era before "movies".  Even as I write this, Blogger is questioning my use of the term by underlining it with a red squiggly line, but that's what I call them, movies!  So, sue me if you don't like it. People used to only see celebrities in still shots printed in magazines before the age of television.  Then, they would go see them at the "movie theater", after hearing about it on the radio.  Nobody ever called them Film Theatres, did they?  The word "film" is really a description of the medium by which we are enabled to view "movies" rather than it being a description of the experience of watching still pictures transformed into motion.  So, I'm sticking with "movies", but I am not opposed to calling them motion pictures.  For the "purists" out there that insist on using the word "film...
The Beauty of the Internet                                          In the last few days, I have received four marriage proposals from women on the Internet.  For some reason a website called Tagged is chock full of beauties who don't to have English as their native tongue, and they desperately want to be in a committed relationship, or marriage.  Usually, I ignore these things, but I was bored, so I decided to have some fun.  I couldn't resist.  I mean when a beauty like this shows up on your computer screen, telling you she wants to spend the rest of her life with you and she’s even willing to live in a tent, then you have to appreciate the humility of it all, and say come and get me! As you may know, I am still homeless, but I am working now.  It’s just that during the last pay period, I o...

Irma

Well folks, I made it to the stage for Rabbit Box at the Foundry on Wednesday night! What a great experience that was after dreading it for the month prior. I started by telling them that it was just another dose of public humiliation... and I started off with a laugh I didn't know I was going to get! It ended well too landing on exactly eight minutes with a CHEER for an announcement I had made as to success after failure! Much of life is made of hope and disappointment, but it is also made up of fear and relief. Kinda like what happened with Irma when Harvey had already caused the damage in Houston, Irma suddenly appeared with two others Jose and Katia! For a minute there it seemed like we were doomed! Katia hit Mexico and has dissipated to a tropical storm with 40 a mile winds while Jose drifted back out to sea, but is not setting its sites on the same Caribbean islands that have just suffered Irmas wrath. Buckle your seat belts people! This is shaping up to be a very intens...
