New Trommetter Times

First snow of the year here in Pennsylvania and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet!

Some of the leaves are still on the trees.

• Universal health care death sentence
  A man in the UK, under a national health care system celebrated by supporters of the same type of socialist health care system for the U.S., has been sentenced to death. He has been told it would be too expensive to keep him alive.
• South Could Gain as Detroit Struggles
  Foreign makers have been lured to South Carolina, Alabama and other Southern states over the past decade by generous tax benefits and laws that make it easier to build a largely nonunion work force.
• Obama Waffles On Change: Shaping Up to be Bill Clinton’s Third Term
  For 18 months Barack Obama promised change and a clean break from the “broken politics in Washington.” Then, as President Elect, Obama waffled on that promise by picking a team of Hillary Washington insiders, many of whom served President Bill Clinton.

• Obama offers Holder attorney general post
  
  U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has conditionally offered Eric Holder the job as attorney general, and the former top Clinton administration official has accepted. Before the offer becomes official, Obama’s team wants to determine if Holder could win Senate confirmation.
  
  There are a few things that could prevent confirmation. Remember the Mark Rich pardon? He signed off on that. Remember Elian Gonzalez? Holder authorized his kidnapping.

  I Can’t Believe It’s Not Earned!

• Fashion Your Firefox
  You spend more time online than on the road, but you probably think more about avoiding traffic than enjoying the best of the Web. So, why not customize your Firefox for the things you really love to do? Take your browser from simple to spectacular.

  Firefox is my favorite browser, the only one I really like to use. In addition to the recommendations on the fashion page, you’ll want to install Adblock.

I know it’s been a few weeks since the election was over, but these election-themed songs are still in heavy rotation on my iPod.

1. Take a Chance on Me by ABBA
   Rumor has it this song was also on John McCain’s iPod.
2. Barracuda by Heart
   Since Sarah Palin was sometimes referred to as “Sarah Barracuda.”
3. God Bless the U.S.A. by American Idol Finalists
4. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
   They played this song when the “Straight Talk Express” rolled into the Giant Center in Hershey, PA.
5. Simple Man by Charlie Daniels
   One of my all-time favorite political songs.
6. Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who
   But it seems the American sheople where fooled again, by Barack Obama.
7. We’re Not Gonna Take It! by Twisted Sister
   Should be the rock anthem of every American who is fed up with the Republicrats.
8. Who Are You? by The Who
   On my playlist because we still don’t know who Barack Obama really is.
