My wonderful wife gave birth to our 5th daughter Lucy Rose yesterday at 12:21pm. Everyone is wonderfully healthy, and my wife gave birth again without any pain meds or drugs of any kind. She is amazing woman! 

Lucy weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. She was the smallest of all of the babies my wife delivered. 

For my small part I was the chief motivator and baby cord cutter. Nowhere near the involvement of my wife, or Lucy, but I am told I did a fine job. 

God has really blessed me with all five daughters. What an amazing day! 

So after a 7 and a half hour confab in Washington both sides still disagree. To quote from Gomer Pyle "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise" Did anyone really think that after this televised meeting that the President would walk out and say "I am swayed by this meeting and have decided to start over", or did anyone think John Boehner would say "The President is so right.. what was I thinking?" 

The confab wasn't leading anywhere because the two sides, just like the American public, are split on this issue. Our legislators are really mirroring conversations happening all over this country. Just like my progressive sidekick Sean and I have discussions on this. We agree that this system doesn't work well, can agree on several small pieces of a larger whole, the end result is as different as apples and cheeseburgers.

The two sides are destined to disagree on an issue this divisive. What happens next is the part that will be interesting to me. Will the Democrats go with reconciliation and risk going into the midterm elections? 

In the end can either side figure out a way to:

1) Increase the amount of people with healthcare

2) Decrease the cost

3) Keep or even better increase the quality of service

Neither side has convinced me that their plan can do those three things. 

Here is the billboard for Avenue Q that is causing the big Hoo Ha in Colorado. Seems pretty harmless to me. Leave your comment below. 

According to a NewsMax article "The FCC, after having surveyed random Americans in October and November, said 28 million Americans, or 36 percent, said monthly fees and the cost of buying a computer are holding them back from subscribing to broadband service." 

So the next call to action from liberals will have to be that in order to compete with the rest of the world, the government NEEDS to even the playing technological playing field. How do they do that, by ordering the rich to pay a Cadillac computer tax. Every household that has more than one computer, needing to pay their fair share.

With all of that money raised, it cycles through our Federal Government, and on to purchase laptops and WiFi for those technologically less fortunate! 

As the FCC says "that the long-awaited National Broadband Plan will try to help connect 93 million Americans to high-speed Internet to find jobs, access educational and healthcare services, and reduce household energy costs." Oh and give access to free porn to all.

Tiger Woods apologized to the entire world today. I was really hoping he was just going to be honest with all of us, and say: 

"I screwed around on my wife with a ton of women, I can't tell you I didn't enjoy it while I did it, and I can't say that I regret it."

"I am a super athlete, you need to understand that I have been told my entire life that I can do anything I put my mind to. In this case I put my mind into getting the most something something that I could before I turned 35. "

" I cannot tell you that I won't sleep around on my wife and family again, I know that my sponsors won't like to hear that, but I have millions of dollars already, so I really don't care"

" My only real regret is that you the media and my family found out about all my of my friends with benefits. I wish each of these friends would have kept their mouths shut, I had so many more benefits to give." 

"You don't have to like me, the fact is I don't care if you don't. I just want to follow my dream of golfing, and being Fred Garvin Male prostitute! Thank you all for coming, I have a little something, something to do." 

"Oh and yea at some point I think I'll golf again, but right now I have to go back to the sex clinic and play with my driver."

ABC news is now following the Asian Carp story, featuring chef Philippe Parola's fix to the problem. This guy has carp cake, carp dip, carp gumbo. Almost sounds like Bubba from Forrest Gump.

The U.S Hockey team goalie is being forced to take a "Support our Troops" slogan off his hockey helmet. Two other U.S. netminders have also been forced cover up, or take off slogans.

So Governor Granholm does break from the policies of the Democratic party. She insists that even if the feds want to put almost 79 million dollars into a plan to ensure no Asian Carp, (or should they be called silver fin not sure yet) that is not enough. 

The Governor wants the locks in Illinois closed, period

I still say a couple of hundred cement trucks loaded up and "accidentally" dumped just near the locks is a nice neat quick fix. 

Warm June night, Arcadia Festival Place is rocking with a great band at GreekFest, beer in one hand, but don't even think about lighting up a cigarette, or cigar in the other hand. 

When the Smoking ban becomes law in May, you no longer are allowed to smoke where any food or alcoholic beverage is served. No matter if that place is indoors or outdoors.

Being an ex-smoker I can't stand the smell of smoke anymore, and haven't touched a cigarette in 13 years. That said I respect the rights of smokers to engage in lighting up a cigarette, especially at an outdoor venue.

Now if you light up it is a $100 fine for you and whoever is listed on the liquor license for a first offense. The third offense could close the festival! 

The question to me is how and if this law is enforced. When someone does light up, and they will. Someone will complain and at that point it puts public safety in a interesting position of being the "smoking police".
