DAVID'S PLACE:

Finally getting help with this blog from a computer expert. He is showing me right now all the things I don't know about using the Google blog properly. So, we will see.

I don't care how much they publish about using Google AdSense. I don't care how dense I feel because I can't understand the information and the directions. I don't care about anything right now other than figuring out how to navigate my blog, so I can start figuring out exactly what's going on with information, traffic, and earnings. I'm old school and I can write, but I am certainly baffled by the technology attached to Google blogs. I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks.

Last week I was driving out the gate of my high rise apartment garage. An older lady was in front of me. She was blocked in by a workers van  and he would not give her enough room to get out. I watched her get frustrated as the guy would not move up and make space obviously thinking there was enough room for her. She disagreed and bravely got out of her car and walked up to the van and screamed at the driver to make way. He angrily spun forward and screamed "bitch" at her as she drove away. I watched it all unfold from a few feet away. I did not act. I am relentlessly beating myself up for not walking out of my car and defending the woman by telling the driver he had a  big mouth to swear at her and who did he think he was etc etc..  But I didn't get involved. I just watched. So, it is now several days after the incident. All I did was report the event to the building management lady to tell her what I witnessed.   Now, my appetite is gone, I have been feeling mise...

Drew Peterson, who allegedly killed two of his wives had a main lawyer by the name of Joel Brodsky.  Brodsky has now ended up suing another of the lawyers on Peterson"s team, Steven A. Greenberg. Greenberg claims that Brodsky single handedly lost the murder trial for Peterson. He is also suing two news outlets including the Chicago Tribune.  Brodsky has always seemed like the ultimate schnook to me and ill fitted to be in a big time trial. He has been associated with several firms since 1982. He gained Drew Peterson's loyalty several years ago when Peterson's murder problems started. He has done mostly small time legal matters. He was supposedly the lawyer that blew the murder trial by not having Peterson testify even against the wishes of the other attorneys. Aw shucks Drew. Did you get unlucky by placing your faith in Brodsky? Would you hire him again? Brodsky probably worked cheap to begin with so you got what you paid for. Who ever thought that they would pass new...

I like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. He tries to do the right thing. He is not the typical calculating, biased politician. He is openly for gay rights, increasing minimum wages and  banning  assault weapons. Yes. Its the beginning of the Governors race. Quinn's approval ratings are low but that means nothing. He has a giant deficit to deal with. It will apparently will be almost impossible to overcome. He said "Illinois must honor the productivity of it's workers." At least his heart is in the right place even with no money to pay for anything. Mike Madigan is the one who can make things happen in Illinois. Certainly he has to have some humanity attached to that hard core exterior. Come on Mike. Help the governor. Help us all. Do the right thing. Maybe it will also help Lisa Madigan.
