It is not that women are better gifted, skilled, or qualified to serve as leaders. Generally speaking, men and women are equal in their talents. Some individuals will rise above others and it is our job to choose the right ones.

There are two reasons that I think women would make better leaders right now. It appears that the bulk of men cannot handle their wieners or their wallets.

I voted in my first presidential election for Jimmy Carter. That tells you how old I am. How many times during those decades have we watched men lose their power because they were caught with their pants down? Off the top of my head I could ring off a list of men who lost their jobs or ministries, were impeached, or just took deserved public rebuke. I can’t recall a single woman who lost her public position due to a sex scandal. Can you imagine the amount of public money that has been wasted on sex scandals? It might take care of a good portion of our debt.

The recent primaries across the country had a higher number of women running for office. One thing we know for sure, they will not be making choices based on their wieners! Not having one of those may be the best qualification for office. It would be refreshing that a potential scandal would center around the numbers of shoes in the closet (Imelda Marcos) as opposed to a man trying to find gay sex in an airport bathroom stall.

When an elected man has sex with women or other men outside his marriage, it is cheating on his family and raping the public. Maybe we should devise a new penalty for this crime. Instead of removing them from office how about removing their doodlewacker (my mother’s term)?

The second problem for men is their wallets. They will do anything to pack it with illegal money. Again, how many times have we seen the videos of a sting where a politician is caught with his hand out. Women may have a few issues with how they spend money at the  malls, but I don’t see them betraying the trust of voters just to pad their purses with cash.

To enter Capitol Hill where congress meets you have to be searched. Considering the problems our country is facing, maybe all wieners and wallets should be checked at the door.

Harris Interactive is the company that produced this survey. There were a total of 15 questions, all were negative questions about what people believed concerning President Obama. People were asked if they thought Obama was a Muslim, s Socialist, if he wants the terrorists to win, if he wants to turn the country over to a one world government, etc.

To be fair, Harris could have asked a few positive questions. Do you believe that Obama is the embodiment of the second coming of Christ? Is Obama the greatest man that has ever lived? Will Obama bring peace to all the world? I would wager that at least 20% of democrats surveyed would say yes to those questions, but we will never know.

It was interesting to read all the results of this poll. On the question about Obama being the Anti-Christ, not only did 24% of republicans say yes, but 8% of democrats agreed, and even 4% of people with graduate degrees. 15% of democrats believe he is a Muslim and 8% of democrats believe that Obama was not born in the US. The big story to me is not that a minority of republicans had negative feelings toward Obama, but that a small percentage of democrats had those same negative feelings. You won’t hear that on MSNBC.

Now it’s time for the really big questions. Does anyone on the staff of the White House think Obama is the Anti-Christ? Any congressmen? If 51% of the American people polled had said he is the Anti-Christ, would that make him the Anti-Christ since this is a democracy? What does Obama believe about himself? Does Michelle sleep with one eye open some nights?

When I was 18 I cast my first vote in a presidential election for Jimmy Carter. I was a southern white boy and was happy that somebody from the hood was respected. I didn’t care whether he was democrat or republican. It wasn’t long until people were saying that Carter was the Anti-Christ. His initials were JC (Jesus Christ), hmmmmmm. Maybe the characteristic mark of the Anti-Christ will be, BO.

Enough of this insanity. The timing of this poll was when the healthcare debate was at it’s hottest. A lot of Americans are angry and very upset with Obama. There are some genuine fears about this behemoth government program and it’s too bad the media has no time for thoughtful debate. It seems that debate today is only about making the other side look dumb.

Shame on Harris for this idiotic survey. Shame on reporters for giving time to this outrage. Maybe the pollsters and the media could star in the next version of “Dumb and Dumber”.

Charlie has a few minor tax issues that he has been dealing with. He forgot to report a little income from different sources. He owns a Villa in the Caribbean and failed to report income estimated at $75,000 per year. I believe Charlie likes the Caribbean. It’s a shame that he can’t getaway from the taxes on his getaway! Paul Krugman, economist from the New York Times, excused this by saying “it really has no national significance”.

Charlie sold a building on 132nd Street in Harlem for a cool million dollars and forgot to report that to the IRS, too. Along the same lines he did not report income from rental properties in New Jersey. I will refrain from any New Jersey jokes here. One of the excuses given by a friend in media said that Charlie was never really good with paperwork. I find that terribly amusing considering that Charlie is the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee – the group that writes the federal tax laws!

The next time I have trouble with the law or the IRS, I wonder how far I will get with the excuses of ignorance or not good with paperwork. It worked for Charlie. Another miscue was not reporting a Credit Union account with $250-$500K on deposit. The IRS allowed him to go back and check the appropriate boxes and just pay the taxes owed. And guess what, they were kind enough to dismiss the penalties and interest. Isn’t that what they do for everyone?

I have some other excuses for Charlie and other politicians to use.

• There is a whole bunch of stuff with his name on it in Harlem. It just wouldn’t look right.
• He is not dead yet. Everyone knows that being a congressmen in Washington is a job for life.
• He is 79 years old. Imagine the banquets and celebrations we would miss on his 80th birthday, June 11th. I hear that 80 years in Congressional years is only 40 in human years.
• He has won 20 elections in a row. He always runs unopposed, that democracy thing just slows him down. Power is much more impressive than paperwork.

I don’t really mean to hang Charlie out here alone. I could have written this about most of the career politicians, republicans or democrats. I wish we could wake up to the fact that though a person may enter politics for the noble purpose of public service, there is a point where the service turns personal. Why do we continue to vote the same people in over and over? We don’t need constitutional term limits, just vote!

The obvious question is, do men really need the added 3 inches? But this is not the question that I intend to answer in this article. I want to deal with the political and economic side of the debate.

Now that Scott Brown is a rock star senator from Massachusetts, he will be a part of this debate. He won Ted Kennedy’s senate seat. Kennedy was well known for his sexual conquests and now he may have the perfect successor. When in college Brown was named Sexiest Man Alive by Cosmo Magazine. He also appeared nearly nude for the mag. What would he say about the 3 inches?

If the promise of the pill is true, I would like to know who paid for the research. Did our tax dollars go to scientists for this discovery? Are their any congressmen that sponsored this research and what are their names?

I have no doubt that there are congressmen who would purchase these pills. In full disclosure, it should be made public. I am impressed with the sexual activity of these old guys in Washington. Too often we hear of interns pleasing their elected bosses, presidents getting bj’s, and even gay sex. Each time I see Robert Byrd sleeping in his congressional seat (92 year old rep from Virginia), I never know if it is because of age or if he is just worn out!

Has anyone investigated the healthcare bill to see if it provides coverage for enlarging sex organs? I heard that certain sex change surgery is available. If that’s true, then it would not be a stretch (pardon the pun) to have treatments covered by insurance that increase or alter sexual performance tools.

This would also be a big help to the uninsured. Many of them do not have jobs and could use a lift during these hard times. I will no longer apologize for the puns.

This subject gives new meaning to the phrase “big government”. And what is big government famous for? “Stimulus” plans! We can now answer the question, “How do you measure a good politician?”

Herbert Hoover promised “a chicken in every pot”. This illustrates how far we have strayed when living with economic trials. In the past politicians focused on pots, now they focus on pants.

The Prime Minister of England announced we had 50 days to save the world from global warming. That’s when a meeting of the world’s leaders will take place. They really believe they can save the world. There is a verse in the Old Testament that says God laughs at the plans of men. Global Warming is the balloon but the belief that governments can stop it is a hoax. Stop the next hurricane and then I will listen to the government about the rest.

A group called the “Oath Keepers” threaten to revolt rather than allow a dictatorship or any unconstitutional governing. They are made up of police, military and others who have taken an oath to the constitution. if you don’t believe me check out www.oathtakers.org. These guys need to take a chill pill.

As a Christian I cringe at the token fringe who get politically active because Jesus is coming back or Armageddon is next year. I believe in the second coming, but thinking that American politics has anything to do with it is a hoax. And Obama is not the Antichrist! Jesus said you won’t know the time, so shut up!

The best news of the day, especially for those stressed out over the end of the world, is that the Obama Administration loosened the rules on marijuana use. The hoax is that it lets everyone light up a joint. At least this is one hoax that can be a hope. I think all these fear-mongers could use a drag.

Falcon’s dad just wanted to get a TV show. Politicians are motivated by power. Watch out for the stories or hoaxes they invent about healthcare, economics, war, and other huge issues of today.

I was ticketed last year in my neighborhood for driving without a seat belt. I told the officer that I could stand naked in the road and be hit by a car going 20 mph and survive. He reminded me that over 90% of traffic fatalities happen within 5 miles of your home. I responded nicely that 95% of my driving is within 5 miles of my home. Chances are slim that I am going to die by traffic accident in Seattle!

Sorry, but bike helmets are the dumbest looking things on the planet. I wonder if the inventors are laughing their faces off on a Carribean island someplace? Were they thinking safety or was it the evolution of the “kick me” sign secretly placed on backs? I question the sanity of people riding bikes on busy highways. Do they actually believe a helmet will help when my 86 year old mother gives them a Buick beating because she can’t see them? If safety is your concern, get off the damn road!

I am not anti-safety. Bike helmets are iffy, but football helmets are necessary. There is a big difference between using your head to hit on every play and casually riding a bike across the park.

I am an avid cyclist. I ride with no safety equipment, bright colors, or lights. I even ride at night with no fear of being hit. I don’t expect cars to see me or give me the right of way. I will ride where they are not. At my age the bigger danger is falling asleep at the handle bar.

Back to my mother, she is afraid of everything. She can’t eat what she wants for fear that it will cause cancer, or worse, weight gain. She hates flying for fear of crashing. Now she is worried about radiation from her cell phone.

For me, I am looking for higher risk activities that won’t aggravate my back ache. My goal is not longevity. When they do an autopsy after my death I hope the doctor says, “man, he couldn’t have lived another second.” I may start smoking!

Since my usual topic is the colossal failure of big government, allow this final word. OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. I think it stands for Oh Shoot, Health Nazi’s again. The government loves safety. It is the best way to exert control over it’s citizens.

In honor of Hurricane Bill I’m going to blow a little of my own wind. No one gets me angrier than Al Gore. He is the most “inconvenient” guy on the planet. He is the Holy Profit of Global Warming and the High Priest in a new world where government controls everything and we peacefully submit to his hot air while getting clean air. It makes me want to start smoking!

For the record, since Hurricane Katrina there have been fewer and weaker storms. The prophet is false! But, his followers still believe his predictions of catastrophe in the decades ahead. I am not a believer and I would never trust a self-appointed science expert who majored in journalism and spent a career in politics. I will always remember him standing in support of another Bill, who was caught in another type of blowing storm.

Gore has gotten rich off the lies, rides around the world in a smog churning private jet, and refuses to debate anyone on the evidence he preaches. Dang, maybe I will become a disciple.

On a serious note, global warming may be true and man may have caused it. I am not an expert nor have I studied it. But wouldn’t it be nice to hear from some genuine scientists on both sides discuss this vital subject?

• Death Penalty – restore it and apply it to all people given life sentences.
• Drugs – legalize it, tax it, and encourage it
• Euthanasia – grandma had her day in the sun and we should stop using up all the healthcare dollars on the terminally ill.
• Abortion – make it legal up to two years old. This will give an out to all those girls who want to have a baby at 16. I guarantee she will get rid of that thing before two years. Besides, the life of the mother is at stake.
• Suicide – Legalize and even set up centers for those wanting to exit. We could call them “Life Centers”. Hey, we call abortion centers Planned Parenthood.
• Bike rights – Bicycle riders will be allowed to ride on interstate highways.
• Unhealthy lifestyle – Good health is way overrated, we want to encourage people to enjoy all the fast food, tobacco, alcohol, and other personal choices they want. They will die sooner and leave the limited resources to others.
• War – At the drop of a hat we should be prepared to kill the enemy with all our force and be more understanding of collateral damage.
• The national motto will be “Safety Third”. No more speeding laws, seat belts, bike helmets, or anything else to protect us from ourselves.

Let me know if you would like to be the first Death Party Chairman.
