Deja-fuuuuuuuuuuuu – noun – The mysterious feeling that you get when you have to repeat all of the work you did previously because of some silly little problem that didn’t creep up until you were 90% done.

Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you! – Sam — The Return of the King
My Take – We can’t take over and solve our friends’ problems, but we can be there to be what they use to hold themselves up. When you let someone lean on you, you pay back all of the people who have supported you when you needed it.

Recently, Mitt Romney made an off the cuff remark about the socio-economic circumstances and motivations of Obama supporters. He claimed that a lot of them don’t pay income taxes, and they have become dependent on the government for the necessities of life. Not surprisingly, the press is skewering him.
We here at the DaddyBear 2012 campaign would like to voice our opinion on this issue:
If you are dependent on the hard working people of this country to make sure you don’t starve to death or lie frozen to the gutter, but are capable of earning your keep and don’t want that to change, then I don’t want your vote. That’s not to say that if I am elected, I won’t work in your best interest, because I will. It’s just that I believe that a kick in the ass and going cold turkey off of that sweet welfare money is in your best interest.
If, on the other hand, you believe that charity shouldn’t happen because men with guns make you do it, I would appreciate your support. If you believe that those who do not work should not eat, please vote for me.
Thank you, and God bless America, or at least forgive us for the last four years.

Many are the strange chances of the world… and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter. ~The Silmarillion
My Take – If you are relying on the strong person to be there to aid or protect you in time of need, you can be assured that the world will fall in on you when you are alone. You, and you alone, are responsible for you. No matter your circumstances or beliefs, you have something to contribute, most of all in your own life. History is full of stories where a small action made by a nameless person turned the course of history on a dime. The same can happen in a personal history. The choice of whether or not to do the small things in your life can lead to your ability to deal with the big things that are thrown at you.

I recently had to explain who Casey Jones was when I told Boo “Watch your speed, Casey Jones.”

“I’m not a pacifist,” Paul said, “but I do think it unacceptable not to hate war. I’m dismissive of those who champion war as sport and show no reluctance to engage in war. Any leader who shows glee or eagerness for war should not be leading any nation. I believe truly great leaders are reluctant to go to war and try mightily to avoid war.” — Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, as quoted in Economic Policy Journal.
If the good Senator keeps this up, I foresee me supporting his presidential campaign in 2016 or 2020.
