The Hatfields and McCoys on History Channel

Well if you missed last night's opening episode of The Hatfields and McCoys on The History Channel you should make sure to get the DVR set up to catch the reruns.  Luckily, it won't be hard to find the three episodes.  The History Channel is bombarding us with them this week.  Rightfully so though, as the the first episode was wonderful.

It is a three part mini-series featuring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton as the heads of their respective families.  Paxton leads the more religious McCoy family while Costner leads the financially savvy Hatfields.  Both have huge families all living in the area on either side of the river.  The McCoys live across the river in Kentucky and the Hatfields are in West Virginia.

The two families are at odds from the very beginning and the little tussles begin to escalate into legal battles, fist fights and  murders.  All the physical drama is overshadowed though when the Hatfield boy and the McCoy girl fall in love to the horror of both fathers.  The battle ensues and I will leave it for you to discover the entertainment that is the Hatfields and McCoys.  Check it out on The History Channel this week.

Obama, Promises Promises unfulfilled

Remember these?
All these are promises from Barack Obama:
“I promise 100% transparency in my administration.”.
“I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.”.
“I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.”.
“I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.”.
“I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.”.
"I will bring ALL of our troops home within ONE year."
“I’ll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!”.
“I’ll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I'll resign if I don't cut the deficit in half by the end of four years."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."
BETTER KNOWN AS LIES.
Fool me once shame on YOU!
Fool me twice shame on ME!



Oh and in case you haven't noticed, out national debt has almost doubled since he has been in charge.
