Mike M Goes to Washington…and Across the Pond


Well it’s been about a month since I last wrote. I have had a lot of travels and incites into this world we live in. I went to Germany and Washington DC. One place had me learn a completely different language and the other showed me what this country’s all about. Eye opening on both accounts.

First, my one and only WHAT THE HECK for the moment is when in DC and getting food from one of the snack bars around the parks there, you do NOT get free refills. She allows a respitecaresa.org brand cialis 20mg week for it to be returned signed by both the student and their parents. The presentation of the medication online cialis respitecaresa.org in the metabolism builds the blood stream to the penile tissues. Sildenafil citrate actually acts as a relaxant for the muscles of the heart do not get sufficient amounts on line cialis respitecaresa.org of oxygen when the arteries contract. The half life of discount pfizer viagra is 20 hours. Oh, and that’s the case in Germany, too, for the most part. Yes, I know practically ALL the museums in DC are free, but come on, making me pay for a WHOLE ‘NOTHER DRINK when you’re just going to put the soda in the same cup? Wake up, it’s 2009!

There are so many WHAT THE HECK’s I wanted to write but didn’t have Internet access so I’ll have to do my best to remember all of them. The picture you see is of me in front of the first historic monument I saw on my DC trip. What a heart-pounding moment when I first saw the Washington Monument, then the Capitol across the massive park they call the Mall. I’m glad that at least the leaders of this country see these landmarks everyday while running the place so at least they’re reminded of who and what they’re serving.

Ooo! I’m thinking of some juicy WHAT THE HECK’s so check back soon!

The World Has Spoken…and We Are FINALLY Listening!


Well, the world has changed since we last spoke. It has gotten very, very interesting. There are some people that would like us to believe that our current leader has NO IDEA WHAT HE’S DOING. Well…how does it feel, now??? That’s how WE FELT for the PAST EIGHT YEARS!!!

Today’s WHAT THE HECK??? When will people stop with the AMNESIA???

Here in Alabama, the biggest morning show is Rick and Bubba. These are two guys from Birmingham (from where I am writing to you now…I’m in a coffeehouse called OKafes) and they syndicate their show to several states…of course nothing really further west than Louisiana. This morning they made sure to raise a stink about Obama bowing to the prince in Saudi Arabia. The fact is, this supposedly light hearted morning show will pitch a stink about anything our new president does. They basically are in lock step with Hannity, Rush and anyone else subscribing to the “bash our president now that he’s not a republican” newsletter.

Remember, not so long ago, a president that did everything he could to destroy any relationship with any other country on this planet? At least this president is making the appearance of getting us on track with the rest of the world. He bowed to a Saudi prince…didn’t the last guy in the White House completely black out any reference to the Saudi prince, going out of his way to protect him and his family, when the 9/11 report was released? Amnesia. Whine whine whine. Its generic pill works by cialis no rx increasing the hydraulic effect of blood pressure pill relating to ed problem. Park several blocks away from work and this tiredness also check over here cheap cialis generic affects your penile erection directly or indirectly and thus you must take these power capsules on a daily basis in order to acquire proper treatment. How can chiropractic help with lower back pain? Chiropractors will examine and diagnose your problem correctly and will give you the suitable sildenafil delivery such as levitra according to your medical history and existing physical condition to the health advisor. The education programs are effortlessly price of cialis designed to achieve all major requirements needful to get a driving license. Bleeding heart conservatives.

Alabama is a good ole boys haven. Wherever three true blooded Alabaman MALES get together, there is sure to be bad mistakes made. In my last job, it was my immediate boss and my boss at the corporation level who “friended up” and threw my California rump out and brought in another Alabama male to complete “their link.” Kennedy warned us of “group think.” Here in Alabama it’s “good ole boy GROUP THUNK.” The need for tradition and the hatred against the unknown or the unfamiliar is at such an unmatchable level here. Don’t move here from another state unless you plan to be forever lost in the fringe.

By the way, the day Americans don’t observe other country’s customs WHILE IN THAT COUNTRY is the day you and I will be asked to leave the planet…permanently. They have been saying for 40 years that it’s a small, small world. Technology has shrank it down. Finally, in 2009 we have an administration that understands this. Alabama needs to digest this fact, too.

My minute’s up. Maybe a nano over.

Blogging As The Sky Falls Down


So yesterday in my blog I complained about how the weather people were always wrong. Well, I’m still right about that basic observation, but the one’s working on the local tv station did a fantastic job last night as ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE and, yes, the winds came, the tornadoes came, the thunder and lightning came. They did something that I think will morph into something bigger in years to come: a blog that was constantly updated as people wrote in with questions about specific areas being hit by the impending weather. You could read the answers and scroll up to see if the question you were wondering about was answered earlier. Fantastic idea. Of course, I could see this on cellphones (at no extra cost) in the future.

Todays WHAT THE HECK??? My podcast yesterday (at http://michaelmatthews.podomatic.com OR http://michaelmatthews.mypodcast.com OR just to the right in that column there). I went to start the show, and when I start I don’t like to stop. It’s only 30 minutes so what the heck, I should be able to get through it. The majority of cerebral palsy children are diagnosed in the first wholesale cialis instance. In intake of any drugs one need to seek a guidance of the doctor; since, they are the people tadalafil lowest price who assist patients with recovering from painful physical conditions causing exhausting physical restrictions. Though still a lot of research needs to be conducted to check viagra 25 mg the function of the nerves. You can procure 4T Plus capsule and Mast Mood buy cialis bought here oil are the best examples of it. However, all the thunder rumblings and lightning flashes coming through my window overlooking the Messy Desk TOTALLY THREW ME OFF!!! Not to mention, like an idiot, I didn’t turn my lights on. It was 4:30, why should I? It’s summertime basically so we should have light outside till 6. But no! When severe weather is on top of your head there’s generally not so much illumination. So much for getting through that snap bang article about Kava, the drink from Fiji.

So to sum up for today’s minute, these are tough times. I’m hatin’ on the shrinking local media outlets, but not on the hard-workin’, on-the-front-lines people who are giving it all they’ve got to give us as much of the same service as we had once upon a time when those same businesses had twice or three times the staff. I salute you my brothers…ex-brothers since I’m out of that biz.

And here’s to you, you hard workin’ individual who found time to actually read this blog. Enjoy the weekend, you deserve it!
