ANOTHER great P.J. quote

From Australia this week:

Long term there's only one thing that gives me hope as a right-winger - the left-wing.

It's going to be hard to do a worse job running America than the Republicans did, but the Democrats can do it if anyone can.

The Left is the party of government activism - the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, slimmer, taller, and take a dozen strokes off your golf game.

The Right is the party that says government doesn't work. And then they get elected and prove it.

The US Government is going to take over the American car industry. I can predict the result - a light-weight, compact vehicle with a small carbon footprint using sustainable alternative energy. When I was a kid we called it a bike.

Washington DC April 2009


A picture of Jonathon on Sunday morning after spending the evening with my friend Mel and me. We stayed up WAY too late but it was worth it.



This is a pic of Jonathon at the Pentagon 9-11 memorial. We spent the day with Loriana and John Jacob, people I worked with at Crocker Bank(!) many years ago.

All my pictures of the trip are in a web album on the right. The Pentagon Memorial was very moving. The sunset pictures were taken from National Harbor where I was attending a trade show.

A GREAT trip with every weather (except snow) having been experienced.

Tea Party in El Segundo


Sam and Nate went with me to El Segundo for the South Bay Tea Party. Sam was sorely disappointed by the good behavior of the crowd, when we arrived and saw about 8 cop cars he had high hopes for excitement. He said he had hoped at least a few anarchists would show up.

We met Cris Molles there and ran into Carl Dreizler. The wind was blowing 20 mph + and it was FREEZING. But it was a great crowd and Tammy Bruce gave a great speech.

There were a lot of great posters, but the above is my favorite.
