In today's so-called politically correct environment someone some where is always demanding an apology.
This is such total nonsense.
In reality, and most often, people say what they mean.
They may regret it later, but having some total dumb-ass politician or news media personality demand an apology from someone is absurd.
And, if anyone thinks the person apologizing means it, then education in America has truly sunken to the bottom of the idiot pile.
An example of this is that late night TV show host, David Letterman.
What should happen is his wife sues him for everything he owns and throws his useless ass into the street. He didn't have just one affair, which might be forgiven, but he did this with many women and often.

One Reason Restaurants Fail:
My wife and I were visiting some friends on the east side of town on Thursday, one of them is ill, so we just stopped by for a quick visit.
Instead of driving all the way back to our part of town, it was 5:00pm, to get dinner, we decided to stop at a local Mexican restaurant, they had a big banner outside that said lunch $4.99. Now I realize it's dinner time and restaurants charge more for dinner than lunch, although I don't understand why they do this Monday through Thursday.
We figured it would be about $2.00 more for the same dish. Wrong, it was twice the cost. There was no one in the restaurant eating, the only people there were the workers.
So we left and went to Denny's just down the street.
Now common sense would tell these people to either 1) Feed us at the lunch price and get some business, or 2) Have realistic dinner prices that coincide with a lunch price especially since you got a huge banner across the entire store front. Charging twice as much for dinner as lunch just pisses me off, and it's bad business. They will fail and probably never know why. The man could not understand why we left.
By the way, Denny's was cheaper than the Mexican restaurant lunch price. It's Mexican Food, it's plentiful here n Arizona, and it costs next to nothing to make, I know we make it at home.
P.S. - We are both retired and on a fixed income so money is important, not tight, but cautious spending is still a must!

Obama Care Part 1, Why Congress will eventually pass this bill:
My neighbor and I were talking about Obama's Healthcare Plan, we both oppose it, but as Seniors we realize it will become law. We as a nation continue to brings things upon ourselves both as individuals and the system that enslaves us all. In this case, Healthcare.
Let me share a simple story of how screwed up the current healthcare system is.
My friend needs to see a cardiologist. His doctor says he had a minor stroke. His doctor is in with a group of other doctors and run by a group of administrators. His doctor tells him he needs to see this cardiologist soon as possible and that he will arrange an appointment. About 4 days go by and no phone call, so he calls his doctor's office to be told by the admin people they don't male appointments they wanted him to make his own.
Does anyone see the problem?
If your primary care physician allows a bunch of administrative people to make decisions on his behalf affecting you, this is why we have lawyers because it's a bad thing.
A call to a cardiologist from your primary care physician will get you an appointment pretty fast, especially when he says, this patient has had a minor stroke and another is probably imminent.
If you call to make your own appointment you will wait forever. So my friend called another doctor he found and his earliest appointment, even after informing the scheduling staff that he had a minor stoke, will take 6-weeks. He could be dead in six weeks.
The whole medical system, like the justice system is broken in this country.
What we need is a simple approach.
Patient Bill of Rights plus the ability to select any insurer from anywhere for our coverage just like we do with auto and home insurance.
But Obama knows this. His plan is to force all of us to go way beyond what is really needed and jam down our throats big government healthcare.
Hospitals, doctors, administrators, insurance companies, employers, and patients only have themselves to blame for all this!
