Christmas blahs?

It's only the second full day of Christmas break, and already I'm restless. Yesterday I read an entire book (Dean Koontz's "Odd Hours") so I don't really want to start another one yet. I've got Stephen King's "Lisey's Story" sitting in front of me now, so maybe I'll start it.

You can tell how bored I am by the fact that I'm updating my blog for the first time in more than four months. All of my fans will be very excited.

I need to come up with some angle for this that will make me famous. I think I could talk politics fairly well, but we've got too many doing that already. I guess I need to get famous some other way so people actually care what I say about stuff. Or I could update this regularly, then when I commit some horrible crime (or am the victim of some horrible crime) the media can report on what they found on my blog. If something happens to me in the near future, they'll be very disappointed.

Cash for (not-so) Clunkers

I have to admit that I'm a little put off by what my liberal friends in government have done with the Cash for Clunkers bill. We're taking perfectly good cars off the road and destroying them.

From a financial standpoint, it's a good program -- if you're spending stimulus money, this is a great way to do it. But they should have made the qualifications on trade-ins stricter, i.e., the car must be at least 10 years old and you must improve gas mileage at least 10 mpg.

I have seen videos online of cars that had no business being taken off the road being destroyed. This will cause a shortage in the used car markets and could negatively impact those poorer folks looking for a cheaper vehicle.

I blame the limousine liberals -- of course, they've traded in their limos for Priuses.

First post

This is pretty weak for a first post. But you've got to start somewhere.
