campaign Debts, Guavaween and More

Since our folks in the House & Senate decided to take a month off for Labor Day, to them it's the same thing as a four weekend that you & I get off only after bullshitting the boss about some family issues that needs our attention.  The time off is not even the worst part, those men & women of greatness who blame President Obama or the Tea Party for everything left a few items just hanging there, unfinished, like a middle school kid before Easter Break.  The Country is facing a drought of biblical proportions, so let's just not vote on the Farm Bill.  The Military is about to lose $500 Billion dollars of Funding, due to their deal over the "Bush Tax Cuts," screw it we have beach time and timeshares to be at. There is more but I'll save you.  So, before you start blaming one party or the other, stop look in the mirror and blame yourself.  While Abortion, 2nd Amendment rights and the fate of Gay Marriage are important don't let those issues overshadow the real issues, US!

Campaign Debts, are not unlike our Nations Debts.  But this years crop of Tea Party & Mainstream Republicans seem to talk a good game but in their own Campaigns they have shown to be no better than the current Government is.  Michelle Bachmann's Presidential Campaign is $950,000 in the Hole and as of today still has not made payments to many small businesses, and to think Ms. Bachmann was all about the little guy. Jon Huntsman was $1.54 Million in the Hole, and only came up with the Cash to pay his bills after he was sued by a few vendors.  He had the Money, in his personal Bank Account. Newt Gingrich is $4.85 Million in Debt, Rick Santorum is $1.69 Million in Debt.  As of yet, all except Huntsman seem to have a plan to pay it back.  But it's not just this current cycle of President wannabe's, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Pat Buchanan, Pat Kucinich, Al Sharpton, John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani are still on the hook for Millions.  To be Honest, I see no way Edwards, Buchanan & Sharpton ever making good on their  debts.  All of them had your vote at one time, all of them claimed to be the best one for the Job.  The Man or Woman that could balance the budget...Fat Chance.  Wake up people!

No Guavaween Parade this year.  The Folks from Lakeland & Plant City will now have no where to go this Halloween Weekend.  I've heard that the folks at Natty Light are concerned that they will lose 500 Barrels of Brew due to the lost.  It would seem the folks in the Ybor City Chamber of Commerce played the "Whole Take the Cover Charge & Gates Away" play all wrong.  The City used to put up the 50K needed to police, fence and generally insure the event happened.  Taking the gates & cover charge away means no way to fund the fees/cost for all that support.  Nice going guys.  Your Biggest event is now no more, sure the folks from Lakeland & Plant City are up for a Pub Crawl & Costume contest.  This should be fun, look I'm from Plant City, see my costume it didn't cost much because it's how I normally dress. Me, I'll do what I've done since 2009, I'll pass on the whole event, you lost me when you took away the floats only to bring them back a in 2011.  It would have been nice if you noticed that sometimes its better to leave things alone then make a change.

Hillsborough County can talk about "possible" changes.  Nice Going Ken Hagan!
