And let’s not forget, the guy LOOKS like a hoosier!! He has the same semi-goofy look as Senator Bayh, and any number of others of us.

His story will make for a genuine black comedy, with the million dollar house in Geist, the stunt-plane faux-bravery, the low-rent affair with some even-more-callow bimbo, the trophy wife who wises up and dumps him only AFTER the Feds come and ransack the million dollar house (on New Year’s Eve!), and the cockamamie ‘escape’ plan involving carelessly sending his airplane careening to God-knows-where as he drifts toward the ground and his hidden red motorcycle with saddle bags!

And the guy accepts (seeks?) a ride from the police to the vicinity of his hidden hog?! And his best idea after that is a KOA tent and slitting his wrists??

If the guy hadn’t pulled the rip-cord, or if he’d flown his plane to the ocean, or if he drove the Lexus to the Ohio River and then jumped into it….or if he manned up and faced the consequences of his actions – THEN – fine.

But instead, everything about him is a fraud, including his angst!

(but we’ll grant him that for what? – 20 years? – he was “on a roll’!!)

After one admires the trophy plane and the sexy wife (or vise-versa)….one eventually detects the subversive little foreshadow of the guy’s essentially low-rent view of the good life. Yes – he has a Lexus – but he appears to have bashed into something (some pointless law or regulation, no doubt)

You can bet that Obama is sorely pissed at Geithner. I mean the first question they ask one of their prospective nominees is “Do you have any turds in your pocket?” This guy has both IRS (he wants to be Sec Treas?) and alien nanny problems. What a dolt.

A good friend of mine, global businessman, strong supporter of our housing coalition, life-long Republican (we’re the only two on our board) told me Monday he went into the voting booth, and at the last minute voted for Obama — he said it apologetically, and i told him “hey, no, i totally respect that choice, but tell me why you made a late pivot?”

His answer, quite tellingly, was “i just had this suspicion that he’d name a cabinet that would make me puke.” He felt like Palin was a defensible choice, but that McCain and his team were good for about one, out-of-the-box, horizon extending choice per year, and that was it. The rest would be off of a Charlie Black list. “You may well have made the better choice,” i told him. I think Doug Holtz-Eakin would have been a good basis for an economic plan, but beyond that, i don’t think i’d have been as impressed by the early team McCain would have named as i am by Obama’s group and path so far (including his choice of preacher for the 21st!).

Johnny Mac will serve us all well in the Senate along with Dick Lugar, and i’m cheered and encouraged by what OUR president is setting in motion so far . . . but that doesn’t mean i’m for his re-election in 2012! OTOH, if the alternative is McConnell or Crist, i could become an Obamacan yet.

I think this is more proof that President-elect Obama is precisely who we thought he was, when we elected him – and in that spirit, I think we all Obama supporters should say “Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!”, in happy unison!

Brian, it took me two years to realize what was going on with traffic ahead of me, but it really is a stitch. I clear out a path in front of me with my black Impala like Charlton Heston at the beach. Beb, my favorite car of the 90′s was a Neon, which folks thought looked like a clown car at the circus when i would pull up and get out. But the truth is, once i was in, it was as comfortable as i’ve been driving a car. So legroom has to be tested – can’t go by the website cubic feet, or “legroom” distance, which obviously is always measured from the two most favorable points.

My EE friends are optomistic, but say five more years before the battery situation gets good. I’m gonna burn old fashioned dinosaur poop until then.
