Obama goes to IRAQ and all the major news anchors tag along.
John McCain goes to IRAQ (3 times) and the major news networks barely notice.
Obama get’s an editorial in the NewYork Times, about his plans for IRAQ.
John McCain offers his plan to the NewYork Times, but, is turned away.
ETC, ETC, ETC.
The weather’s been pretty threatening for the past few day, so we’ve been doing some river fishing. A few Catfish, a couple small Pike, and one lone 17 in. Walleye.
There’s alway’s something out there just itchin’ to steal the bait off your hook,, and I’d estimate we’re hooking about 1 fish, per 5 worms/crawlers. It’s just a bit frustrating, and I’ve tried a lot of inovative ways of hooking the worms, but to no avail. They can often clean off the hook, without the slightest jiggle to the line. 
Belated for Michigan: But here’s a link to the Cost of Government web site .
This site lists the actual number of day’s you worked this year, to pay off your government debt. We, here in Michigan, worked until July 9th, until the money we earned was our own.
I don’t know what’s wrong with our Walleye fishing. Another day, with not one in the boat. There is a bright side though, about half way through the day, the better half, landed a 33 inch Sheepshead, (Drum). This was near the biggest fish I’ve ever handled. I wish we had taken the camera, and maybe a scale, but,,,,,,,.
Later, after docking the boat, I dropped a line in the water and immediately snagged a nice 17 inch Sheepshead. At least we weren’t skunked. I just wish we could locate the Walleye, (which seem to be wildly jumping into everyone elses boat).
P.S. Upon checking the Michigan Fishing Guide, I learned that the Sheepshead the wife caught, would have qualified her for a Master Angler Award, and possibly have been a state record. (scale and camera go with us from now on)
“Want to know why Washington DC is the blight of America instead of being the centerpiece of our great country? Start looking at the impact educated fools like Chief Lanier make on our cities and then start working your way up through the government to find the same types of educated idiots who put the Cathy Laniers of the world in charge. The common denominator of all these gun haters is a fear of law-abiding citizens having the ability to protect themselves and the nerve to think they know what is best for you and me…”
