My days progress like an existential novel. I feel life lurking just under responsibility. Working hard to let it through the walls built to contain it.

Undertaking a new writing venture (read blog) to compliment my day job. Not sure it will amount to anything but its time to try something new.

Here is the thing. I think it may be time to actually do something rather than think about doing things. When I look back on the things that I have done with little planning, resukts have been pretty good. So with that end in mind I will give the world exactly what they need… another useless blog, another crappy author and some more bad music trying to pass itself off as good. Time to tap back into my dreams … you never know.

Campaign debt and matching funds?

This quote comes from the Bachman story on CBS news.   It is clear that with Herman Cain doing the same, that we will spend federal dollars to help offset debt accumulated for one’s presidential bid.

“By suspending her campaign - as opposed to fully ending it - Bachmann can still raise money and apply for federal matching funds that would help her settle possible campaign debts.”

I guess in the Tea Party when they talk about financial reform, they are not referring to closing loop holes that clearly benefit themselves.  Campaign reform needs to happen in a very serious way. 

I should note that Herman Cain says his campaign was debt free and the best I can tell about Bachman’s debt is that she did not want to be $1M in debt…
