Could be a problem

I saw this picture last week and it summarizes the photography portion of my artistic persona.

I used to always have a camera in my possession and now I don't even have a phone that shoots pictures. I realize this sounds absurd to most people under the age of 60 but in truth they still make phones that don't have cameras built into them.

They still build cars that don't have phones built into the sound system.

Of course if you pay more....you get more....and that's why I'm currently OMH............OCCUPYING MY HOME.

My recent conversations with Republicans seem to focus on two issues. Obama is the worst President we've ever had....and Newt Gingrich is the smartest man in politics.

I suppose it's their way of saying that if Romney can't pull off the nomination then Newt is a great second choice because he's so damn smart.

So damn smart! Newt Gingrich helped create a Contract with America in 1994

The Contract with America was a document released by the United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign. Written by Larry Hunter, who was aided by Newt Gingrich, Robert Walker, Richard Armey, Bill Paxon, Tom DeLay, John Boehner and Jim Nussle, and in part using text from former President Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract's policy ideas originated at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. (Wikipedia)

When that Contract with America was introduced I distinctly remember reading it and noticing that the word ENVIRONMENT was never mentioned.

NEVER MENTIONED!

Some of the SMARTEST guys in the Republican Party construct a contract for their vision of America's future and the word ENVIRONMENT is not mentioned once!

THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF AMERICA'S FUTURE MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE WILL NEED TO DEAL WITH IN THE NEXT 20 TO 50 YEARS.

Somewhere in a Contract with America one would think an interest in environmental issues might at least appear within the structure of said contract.

AFTER ALL....THESE ARE THE SMARTEST GUYS....AND OF THOSE SMARTEST GUYS......SUPPOSEDLY NEWT IS THE SMARTEST.

I've just learned that Newt has made a new Contract with America for the 21st Century. I will once again read the contract and see if he has included anything related to the enviromental issues that face not only America but the entire planet.

I suggest you read the new contract and see if the smartest man in politics has started to use that brilliant mind.

The 2012 Presidential election is going to be a humdinger........families and friends will be divided like never before.
