Just some miscellaneous ramblings from an Upstate New Yorker.

Sasha's Barometer: December 28, 2012

I just love the idea of the fiscal cliff.

Not the unemployment, but other things.

First, Grover Norquist should not be credible when it comes to anything related to the twenty-first century American government. 

The Republicans are totally fixated on shrinking government to the size it was back in 1900. 

What would it take to bring the United States back to where it was in 1950, when all our "stuff" was made here, the rich paid up the ying-yang in taxes, when the trains ran on time, heck, no, when we had trains and mass transit. That's the America I want to see. And what happened to Jonas Salk, the guy who developed the polio vaccine (or got the credit for it)? He didn't even keep the rights for it, what a gracious guy. He was famous but modest. I like that. 

I want to enter politics for a weird reason: to help people. And to do it right. People hate politicians but love rock stars. Combine the two!

The problem I have with the Time Magazine words that should be banned list is that I think all of them are ridiculous. YOLO has GOT TO GO. I'm concerned about the well-being of American teenager. And another words that should go is artisanal.

Truth be told, Windows 8 stinks because it's not meant for PCs.  PCs will always have a place because we need media hubs.

P.S. Google, the Blogger interface SUCKS.
