The definition of looney!

The internet dictionary I referenced when looking up the term ‘looney’ as it pertained to a person or persons gave me this; ‘a foolish or crazy person’. Now, I think I understand what foolish means. That’s a person who is a knee-jerker or who goes off half cocked when all the facts have not been properly examined. Here’s an example:

“I held my breath until I passed out and that was foolish of me.” Yes, it was!

I now understood what foolish meant, but what about the term ‘crazy’? OK, I looked that one up too and got ‘foolish or impractical; senseless’. Another entry referred to such a person as ‘insane’! Well, you can see where that eventually went – I came right back around, full circle, to the term ‘looney’.

Now normally, being looney would be no big thing. I’ve done all sorts of looney things myself! Although, I do pride myself (delude might be a better choice of words), that I’ve learned from those past mistakes! However, the term looney takes on a much larger meaning when applied to say the Congress or our President. In those cases, acts of looeyism (my term) could be downright harmful to a lot of people. Take the collective actions of our Congress over the past four years and look carefully at the way they've handled our Republic. Did they do a good job or was much of the legislation somewhat... looney? Next, look at President Obama. He’s come right out and implied that his mandate is for America’s center will be to move it over to the left a tad in a more Socialist direction. I ask you, is that looney or just insane?

Random Thoughts

Either the general public is getting smarter or this countries leadership is rapidly getting dumber. The latest example is the poorly thought out move by Congress when it attempted to force Boeing not to relocate to a more profitable state. Huh? And this action was due to Union demands no less. A clearer case of intrusion by the government into the private affairs of a corporation if there ever was one. A move that is illegal, unconstitutional and downright stupid.

Surprisingly, the general public picked right up on this and have demanded the government butt out. Score one for the rise in the average American's IQ. (Come 2012, let's vote these morons out of office. You just can't cure stupid).

Call me skeptical, but when the climate experts dubbed this month of April ‘normal’ and within 'acceptable limits', I just had to scratch my head. I also live in a state (Missouri) that saw over seventeen inches of rain when the ‘normal’ rainfall amount for the month would have been four inches. Call be naive, but I now wonder what the experts will have to say after we get through May? Let's all hope that month is within 'acceptable limits'.

Just imagine, if you would, Obama winning re-election in 2012! Makes your skin crawl doesn't it? That would beat the heck out of any horror flick I’ve ever seen!

Should the worst happen, I wonder what he would call that regime? The really, really Big Change? Not sure, and don’t want to find out neither!
