A taking of exception

Yes folks, I take exception to the cartoon published on SitNews today the 17th of December depicting a Bull sitting on the Capitol Dome of the USA. Now that we have Republicans in charge of the Congress, perhaps we can get some business done, but Wall street is no friend to Republicans. They have always (at least in recent memory) always donated more money to the Dem/Liberal wing of the Congress. (If you don't believe me, look it up.)

One more thing while on the subject of Republicans vs. Dem/Libs, does anyone of my readers remember who was in charge of Congress during the last two years of the Bush administration (the latest) and caused the meltdown in the economy? I do believe it was the Dem/Libs that passed over, any vetoes that GW could have done to enable the economy to straighten itself out, instead we have suffered a job loss that will not be made up until the latest Dem/Libs debt caused cycle is paid for.

OK enough rant. One more thing on a lighter note, Parking in Ketchikan, is a catch as catch can operation. And believe you me, folks, it used to be a lot worse than it is today. So, the reason for this rant (until I saw the cartoon) was "Parking in Ketchikan". I would just bet that no one at FaceBook can understand why anyone would waste their time and treasure publishing photos of bad parking examples here in our fair city. In fact, I'd bet they're laughing themselves sick over it. If you're going to be an a***ole and park as though you don't know how to see the lines of designated parking areas, prepare to be "outed".

Yours, in good driving and I hope, thoughtful comments,

P.S. No, I am not driver any more, the price of gas and insurance drove me out of the driving market.
