“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” —Alexander Hamilton (1775)

“Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members; and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind.” —James Wilson (1791)

So – how’s this “Hope” and “Change” working for you? Any improvement since the last time I asked?
No?
How about a real eye-opener? In the Spendulus (porkulus, broke-ulus, ridic-ulus) bill, did you know that West Virginia is only asking for $700,000 for ONE project? Did you know that Illinois (I know this will come as a shock and surprise to all of you) is requesting $3,108,484,657 (that’s three billion) for 1,031 projects?
Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself (and your own state – how’d you do? Arizona has plans for $5,574,053,222 to cover 743 projects) at Stimulus Watch.
Worth noting – not all projects are guaranteed funding – these projects are the ones deemed “shovel ready” by the mayors of each state “as submitted in the 2008 U.S. Conference of Mayors report.”
Wow.
1404 and a wake-up…

Huh – what happened to Monday? It was right here, and then – poof! – it was gone.
Probably didn’t help that I spent most of it applying for jobs and looking for more leads. Oh, and C and M were in town, so we had dinner with them.
(don’t tell anyone yet, but C is pregnant and is expecting about September 15 or so)
In other news – I am concerned about the direction the President is taking the country. Down is never good, unless you are wearing a parachute, and I don’t feel the tightness associated with the legs straps. However, I do know that no matter what happens, the sun will rise tomorrow, God is on His throne, and I know how the big picture story turns out. It won’t be pretty, but I look forward to the victory party.

Good focus – nice side shot of the President’s Plane.
I especially like the coloring of the clouds around the tail section…
