Your unhappiness is not due to
your want of a fortune or high position or fame or sufficient vitamins.
It is due not to a want of something outside of you,
but to a want of something inside you.
You were made for perfect happiness.
No wonder everything short of God disappoints you.
Fulton Sheen

Nope. Any retard who longs for the hell of the worst President of all time has one hell of a short-term memory problem. Also not a Trump fan— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Yeah, George Washington, not the left-fascist incompetent Obama.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
It depends what one means by "treason". If you're referring to piling up unsustainable debt, a crime against our progeny, Obama is by far.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
The left-fascists wanting to revisit the hell of the Obama Presidency is like religious fanatics wanting the world to end. #BringBackObama— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Not only was Obama the worst POTUS in modern history, he couldn't dance either.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Nope. I'm a libertarian-conservative who can't stand Trump either. Obama has more self-restraint, but he doubled the national debt.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Wanting Obama back is like trying to bring back the black death, the bubonic plague. #BringBackObama— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
#ToShowYouICareI I will give honest, sincere compliments, will share memories of things you've done or said, made a difference.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
"Treason": you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you left-fascists think it means. "Jay Sekulow"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
"Net Neutrality" is an oxymoron. It's pushing-on-a-string industrial policy that all pro-liberty people reject. #NetNeutrality— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
#90sWereTheBestBecause the Cold War was over, the GOP took control of the House of Representatives, and the economy boomed.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Left-fascist Brad Sherman from the People's Republic of CA has filed impeachment charges against Trump, alleging "obstruction of justice",— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
I am not pro-Trump, But Sherman's argument of obstruction of justice is a nothingburger. There are ongoing, unimpeded investigations.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Trump currently is at 40% approval. He's ranged between 46 and 35. So despite extraordinarily harsh MSM and partisan attacks, he's done OK.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Now I don't mean to suggest Trump at 40% is in a good position. If the economy blows up over the coming year, the GOP will be in trouble.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Trump has swerved me. I thought he was going to be this master wheeler-dealer, cutting deals with Dems. But the Dems aren't interested.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
No, it wasn't. The professors didn't work for free. Who do you think pays for it? Fairies? Other people.... Pay your own bills, loser.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Sen. Paul is right as usual. We don't need a massive bill to reform healthcare. Govt needs to stay out of the free market. "Sen. Rand Paul"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017
Pelosi keeps calling Trump "Bush". No doubt somewhere Barbara Bush is saying, "I didn't raise THAT."— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 12, 2017

DEAD WRONG: The Ex-Im Bank Is a Good Deal For Americans
Why The Student Loan Bubble?
I ended up with a cumulative $1600 loan for a private college B.A.--no family contribution, no full-ride scholarship, paying my own room and board. And part of the reason for that was I couldn't get a work-study job for several weeks in my first year. I wasn't exactly picky; at one point I was mopping floors at 6 AM. The other 3 degrees, at much cheaper state universities, were paid without incurring a loan, although at one point during my UH years, I had less than $100 to my name. Of course, $1600 was worth more then than today but I had paid it off while still in grad school. No GI bill, no employer contribution. While I was a resident grad student, I had teaching or teaching assistant duties, I sometimes worked registration, I did a modest amount of paid tutoring, and I won a competitive fellowship and a dissertation award.

Musical Interlude: My Favorite Vocalists
Neil Diamond (with Buffy Lawson), 'Marry Me". I think I never heard this song until years after its release. I probably heard it over an A/C station one day, and the song totally captivated me to the point I had to buy the album (I think I found it on half.com) just for the track. This is one I love to sing along with and may even record myself performing it one day (not that my vocals are comparable to Diamond's but the song fits my musical style). I've fantasized proposing to my future wife with the song (if I can ever find the love of my life). I don't think this song charted anywhere, which is a shame because it's one of his best songs and a rare duet which really works.
