I am sorry; I could not resist

I just could not resist adding the TelePrompters in. Someone needs to record a song to the tune of Paradise City that says something to the effect: Take me down to TelePrompter City, where the words are clear and the prose is pretty ...

Here is a karaoke version of the Guns 'n Roses song:

Congratulations to the Schaaf family

Congratulations to Bryan and Becky Schaaf on the birth of their son, Ward, who came into the world at 4:45 a.m. (I believe that would be 9:45 a.m. in Newcastle on the Tyne) Wednesday, March 11, 2009, weighing 8 pounds, 8 ounces and 21 inches long. Daddy Schaaf undoubtedly wants young Ward to follow in his steps as a goalkeeper in soccer (or football as it is known everywhere else on the globe). (Thanks to Mike Plant for the phrase: He's a keeper.)

Forget about politics, enjoy some music

Go shopping. Where have we heard that before?

Our government, first under the auspices of George W. Bush and now Barack H. Obama, began a shopping spree in the trillions to bail out failed business models. They are using wealth that has yet to be created (we are going in debt) and taxpayer money (hard-earned dollars confiscated from us).

After Sept. 11, 2001, this country was in shock. People were afraid to fly; no one was sure what lay ahead. During this time, Bush told us to go shopping and live life as normal. For this, he was mocked.

Now, we find ourselves in an economic crisis, and what is our government doing? Essentially, it is going shopping, purchasing roads, bridges, failed banks, suffering automakers and whatever else trillions of dollars can buy.

Bush says go shopping, and he is ridiculed. Obama basically says go shopping, and he is hailed as a genius.

Doesn't make sense or cents. Go figure.

If you do want to shop, this song from BNL might put you in the mood.

Anthem for America?

During his sermon, Dean Hammond, senior minister at Parkview Church of Christ, played this song, Ka-Ching!, by Shania Twain. It pretty much sums up America's attitude toward money and things.

It's a shame, but it also seems to be our government's approach to getting out of this economic mess: Shop more, buy more, borrow more.


Ka-Ching! by Shania Twain
We live in a greedy little world
That teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly
Then turn around and
Spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the money we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So it's shoppin' every Sunday at the mall

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

When you're broke go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when you get bored

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

Let's swing
Dig deeper in your pocket
Oh, yeah, ha
Come on I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
It's such a beautiful thing--Ka-ching!
Lots of diamond rings
The happiness it brings
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

Can you hear it ring
It makes you wanna sing
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Ka-ching!

'Liberty and Tyranny'


Mark Levin read from his upcoming book "Liberty and Tyranny" on his radio show Thursday. Listen to the audio clip here. In the clip, he talks about how conservatives are generally content to live and let live, attend to family, give time to their churches or synagogues. He talks about how the conservative needs to be more engaged than ever before.

Government too big, spends too much


Where is the wisdom of Ronald Reagan today when we need it? Reagan's solution for a faltering economy was to reduce government spending and to cut taxes, which is the exact opposite of President Obama. Listen to Reagan's words as he tells a joint session of Congress, "Government is too big, and it spends too much."

John Boccieri's comments regarding Obama address



Here are Congressman John Boccieri's (D-Alliance) comments on President Barack Obama's address before a joint session of Congress. Boccieri represents Ohio's 16th District, which includes parts or all of Wayne, Ashland, Medina and Stark counties. Boccieri follows a very popular representative, Ralph Regula, a Republican from Navarre. Since his election and swearing in, Boccieri has almost been a regular in Wooster and Wayne County, spending nearly a whole week here talking with business leaders, educators, researchers, scientists and residents. We wonder if his district representative, Chris Cupples (a Wooster High grad and resident), had anything to do with it.

Songs from a friend


These songs were written by a friend of mine, Jeff Saltzgaber, now deceased. We met at Cincinnati Bible College. He was in a band with at the school with a singer named Mindy Smith (she is working on a new solo album now), Dale Kesterson on bass and Shawn LaDouceur on drums. I believe he was a gifted songwriter.

These songs are just Jeff on his guitar and me on the four-track recorder. I hope you enjoy these songs.

A love story
