Wow. I watched the broadcast with great interest, and was impressed with the poise and confidence with which the President discussed the economic situation and how he appears to be ready to clean up all of the immoral practices of corporate America that have been swept under the rug for too long.

If you watched the coverage of the Transfer of Power today between Bush/Cheney and Obama/Biden, then you probably saw Dick Cheney in a wheelchair. Apparently while he and his wife were moving out of their home, he picked up a heavy load and his back gave out.
I wish him a speedy recovery.

I have been asked my one of my loyal and faithful readers a question about &#8220;when to help, and when to not help a disabled person.&#8221;
The answer is much simpler than it may seem at first glance.
When in doubt, always ask. Never &#8220;don&#8217;t&#8221; offer to help. Would you do that to a fellow human [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=treadmarkz.wordpress.com&blog=2456690&post=590&subd=treadmarkz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This one is mostly for people who are not in wheelchairs. I am going to tell you this because I understand that you very well may not quite understand what you are saying. Here&#8217;s what I am talking about. I am a paraplegic. My arms work great. I have huge arms. I keep myself [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=treadmarkz.wordpress.com&blog=2456690&post=572&subd=treadmarkz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

A couple of nights ago one of my employees pulled me aside because she said she had to talk to me about something, &#8220;un-work-related.&#8221; Employees often come to me and my fellow supervisors with personal problems especially if they relate to that person&#8217;s inability to make their scheduled shifts for the week, so I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=treadmarkz.wordpress.com&blog=2456690&post=565&subd=treadmarkz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

One of the biggest, most deeply debated questions in the U.S. has been answered. Will we ever have a Black President? Well, Obama is half Black and half White. So I guess technically &#8220;Will we ever have a Black president?&#8221; is still the big question. But Obama&#8217;s election is considered to be a huge step [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=treadmarkz.wordpress.com&blog=2456690&post=557&subd=treadmarkz&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I have encountered fellow citizens of the U.S. who were shocked that I would not be voting for John McCain/Sarah Palin in this year&#8217;s election. Astounded, really.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t you think Sarah Palin, as a mother of a disabled kid, and John McCain, as a disabled War Veteran, would do everything they can for disabled people?&#8221;
