Ex-Governor Sarah Palin needs to examine her mental capacity. Really. She used to be a governor, but how in the hell she does not even know the meaning of the word ‘retard’ or ‘retarded’?

So when Rush Limbaugh used the word ‘retarded’ it was okay for Sarah Palin, even if Limbaugh intended to hit someone.

When Rahm Emanuel used the word ‘retarded’, Sarah Palin was outraged and went facebooking, asking Obama to fire Rahm.

How many times have you gotten a mail from Capital One this month? More than once, for sure. Capital One wants to waste paper, which is why the credit card issuer can afford to send offers in paper to your mailbox many times a month.

Capital One offers Visa and MasterCard, with platinum and gold cards. With more than 44 million cardholders in the US, Canada, and the UK, why send mail spams? If they have these many customers, why not let the word of mouth do the promoting or recruiting? Satisfied customers will always be happy to share their experiences.

I just passed by the new building of the Dacotah Bank in Brookings, SD. A big electronic board was placed in front that says “Dacotah Bank is now open.”

I thought the construction of the building will never be finished. In all those times that I drove along 6th St., it seemed the bank construction has been taking its time. I waited for it to finish because I am planning to open a new account with them. If you want to know its banking hours, I posted the schedule below:

Some people I know have been spreading email that is intended for the Philippine Congress. It is about the campaign to oppose the passage of the Philippine Reproductive Health Bill (HB5043). I read through the seven points cited in the document and then went through the sections and paragraphs of the bill that these “concerned citizens” think are detrimental to the Filipino people.

The email spam says:

We strongly oppose the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill (HB5043) for the following reasons:

1. AS EMPLOYERS, we do not want to be compelled to provide free reproductive health care services, supplies, devices and surgical procedures (including vasectomy and ligation) to our employees, and be subjected to both imprisonment and/or fines, for every time that we fail to comply. (Section 17 states that employers shall provide free delivery of reproductive health care services, supplies and devices to all workers more particularly women workers. – Definition of Reproductive Health and Rights Section 4, paragraph g, Section 21, Paragraph c and Section 22 on Penalties).

These big companies are greedy, with special mention going to both H&M and WalMart. Have you heard about the two throwing unsold clothing / clothes to waste? Can you imagine how many people, suffering in this cold winter months, could have benefited with the clothes had H&M and WalMart donated the unsold merchandise to Goodwill or other charities?

New York Times reports the discovery of bags full of unused clothes in bins, slashed with razors to ensure that no one would ever wear or sell it. H&M follows a destroy-and-discard policy. OMG! These predatory companies do not have a sense of civic virtue or civil responsibilities.

USA Today and Gallup posted the results of the poll to determine the most admired people for 2009. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the Most Admired Woman category while Pres. Barack Obama easily won the spot for the Most Admired Man category. Oh why former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin almost stole the top spot from Clinton?

Results were based on telephone interviews with 1,025 national adults, aged 18 and older, conducted Dec. 11-13, 2009 with a sampling error of ±4 percentage points.

Most Admired Woman List:

That is why we cannot rely on some senators! Senator Max Baucus, Democrat from Montana drunk on the US Senate Floor debating National health Care. He asks questions but doesn’t like the answers.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama offered Christmas wishes to the nation, including a special thanks for the U.S. military.
