 1: I feel like Rip VanWinkle with insomnia.  Having awakened from just a one
  year 'nap' I look around, scratch my head and exclaim: 'What the hell
  happened to my country?'
 2: Sadly, the Conservative movement is in exile to rebuild and recover from
  the disastrous liberal policies of 'The Compassionate Conservative' George W.
  Bush. Hopefully, a new Reagan-esque Conservative leader will emerge.  But I
  doubt it.
 3: I am hoping Mitt Romney will make a comeback in '12.
 4: If B. Husein Ahhbama (aka Rosemary's Baby and the mulatto Marxist pied
  piper from Hell, I mean Chicago) and his cabal of socialist czars  don't
  destroy our national security, economy, armed forces and  health care system
  in the next 4 years, it will be a miracle.  Dear LORD, deliver us from  these
  bastards!
 5: That lunatic ex-peanut farmer and failed president, Jimmy Carter, wiggled
  out of his straight jacket, ripped off the duct tape covering his mouth,
  wandered from the home in Plains, Georgia and found a microphone again. Then
  he called half of us racists for opposing Obama's socialist policies?!
 6: Congratulations and kudos to (former)IM Larry Kaufman (USA) on winning the
  2008 World Senior Championship in Bad Zwischenahn, Germany on tiebreak over
  GM Mihai Suba (Roumania) and garnering the GM title to boot!!
 7:  Sad news: IM Mark Diesen (1957-2008) suddenly passed away on 9 December
  2008. I first met and played Mark at the 1969 Maryland Jr. Championship,
  which he won at age 12!  We in Maryland
 8:  watched his rapid progress in chess and were thrilled when he won the 1976
  World Junior Championship ahead of Ljubomir Ftacnik!!   I saw him last, when
  he visited the 1996 US Open. He was always a warm and gentle soul. Rest in
  Peace, Mark.
 9: Father Time is not a benevolent patriarch.  Too linear is life for my
  liking.
10: The Depression of 2009 on the 80th anniversary of the '29 Wall St. crash?
  Bush II and now Obama, over the last 5 years, have been making similarly
  disastrous decisions as those made by Herbert Hoover and FDR in the 30s.
