This past Wednesday marked the 20th anniversary of the death of my grandfather. It is hard to believe that 20 years have passed, but it has. I do not know where the time goes but it goes. I think about my grandfather a lot, how he would react to things that are happening today, how his great grandchildren would react to him. I am sure that Brady, the 9 year old would get a great kick out of his stupid jokes. I am not sure how the 10 year old Darren would relate, but I am sure that he would also enjoy his company.
What I think is funny that my grandfather was a member of the GREATEST GENERATION. His Great Grandchildren are members of the DUMBEST GENERATION.

The Menza an update++
Well all I have to say on this matter is that Mr Omalley and Mr Ganz both had a great time at the Menza. Mr Ganz first and foremost made contact with a female. Yes a girl wanted to dance with Mr Ganz. I couldn't believe it, but it is true.
The 12 Penney Saloon is a real nice place. It is even nicer without certain people who say certain things not being there. As I have said before, I go to the club to have
FUN. I HAVE FUN AT THE 12 PENNEY, AND SO WOULD YOU.

The Menza
Father O'Malley along with his crazy sidekick Mr. Ganz will be traveling to Scranton Pa this weekend to visit with their friends at the Menza. He will report back on the events at the 12 Penney when he returns.
AUTOMOTIVE BAILOUT
Doesn't it seem strange that everybody and their mothers are asking for handouts. The one that I really do not agree with is the 25billion dollars for the "big" three automakers.
What I do think that the companies should do is file under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States. People do it, companies do it, WHY NOT GM,FORD, and CHRYSLER llc. The situation with Chrysler is the dumbest thing that I have heard in a while. This is a private company 80% owned by CERBERUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. This CERBERUS owns 100's of companies, many of them profitable. I do understand that they want to give CHRYSLER to GM for the 50% of GMAC mortgage that they do not own. Let them do it.
People say the problems of General Motors and Ford are economic related. I say BRAVO SIERRA (B.S.) The two companies did it to themselves and it started 25 years ago, with their dedication to the unions. Now I am not a union basher, but the unions were a dying breed 25 years ago, and in order to get away from them the two companies, and CHRYSLER started opening factories in Mexico for final assembly and parts manufacturing.
Now this may have been a good idea, especially around 1992 when the NORTH AMERICA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT known as NAFTA passed, but it ended up screwing with them .
People also say that the reliance on the SUV and the non increase of the CORPORATE AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY (CAFE) standards during the George Bush reign were also a big factor. This I agree with. True, who knew that gas would be $4 a gallon, but who needs to be driving back and forth to work in the $40,000 Chevy Tahoe?
Who do you blame? I blame the companies themselves. I do not blame the Japanese companies because they make a decent product. In fact Toyota, Nissan and Honda employ about the same number of people today as GM, FORD, and CHRYSLER do.
This situation is sad, very sad.

Midwest Cheers
Mr OMalley wants to thank his host CJ ELGARF at elgarfmiscellany.blogspot.com
for his hospitality last weekend. I havent had that much fun in a while. In fact the mood didn't last for long as the election for PRESIDENT of the United States took place and the results left me somewhat ill on Wednesday.
I also want to thank "CHIEF" ROONEY at chiefrooney.blogspot.com
for his insight during the weekend. His comments and observations are first class and the humor, Don't get me started is second to none.
When you have friends like these two trivial things like election results can be dealt with in a civilized manner.
Thank You and a Baba Booey to you

MR OMALLEY IS BACK
I'm Back. For those of you that complained that Mr O is not available or whatever happened to the Right Reverend, the answer is I AM BACK. There is a lot of things that I need to catch up upon, but I am glad that I am back and I plan on being here for a long time.
