Was watching the news,

and saw a great quote, from a mentor, working with black, college freshmen. 'What do you HAVE to do, to do what you WANT to do'? I love that quote, because it is SO real. It gets down to the basics of life. You wanna go through the expense/hardship of 4 years of education? Or, you wanna drop out. Let me know how that "anti-education"/ FOX thing ,works for ya', in the real world, when it comes to getting a job, and actually earning a paycheck.

The starting salary is unworthy of a 4 year college education. There are so many graduates out there looking for jobs, employers can take their time, lower the starting salary, and be very picky. Companies are hiring 4 year degreed employees @ salaries of 12 to 14 dollars an hour in the Manufacturing/Design field. These are 25 to 35 dollar an hour starting salaries. There are so few jobs and so many applying. A glut on the market. It's happening in all fields. Then there's the payback of Student loans! Tell me, where is the gain?

Money is only one of the percs of an education. Bad as it is now, it would be worse without an education.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
