No Bets on Wisconsin

Wisconsin has been a traditional blue state. Their conservatives are liberal by Kansas standards. They have been a union strong hold for decades, enacting some of the first public union legislation in the nation. Change aint easy. We see how slow things move in the former Soviet Union two decades on. Communism is attractive to people who are not driven to success, its a system where a lazy man or woman can catch a nearly free ride. So the Elections in the badger state are any bodies guess.
We all want to see the unions get handed theiur asses, but union money is flowing like water right now as efforts are under way to undermine the steps that prevented major lay offs and cut backs. Union tools are fools. You can see that every day at Don Surbers place where a union hack named davyboy hijacks the threads with his spoon fed union bull crap and spin.
Heres to hoping Wisconsin voters have seen the light in spite of the noise organizations being in bed with hteir union buddies.

For our Soldiers

Many of you have never served in the military, and among those of us who have, only a small percentage know what it is like to be away from family friends and loved ones, stuck in some GOD forsaken place fighting a war that at times seems remote and distant. My thanks go out tonight to our service men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, and all the other places that duty calls. You are keeping us safe, confounding our enemies, and risking a precious national resource, your lives, and I thank you. This song was written in the 1960's by another soldier in another war in another land. The words he wrote then are still true today.

I also want to extend my heart felt sympathy to the families who lost loved ones in the helio shoot down. May GOD comfort you in this your hour of need.

Criminal drowns while fleeing crime scene

Seems Gracie Nell Johnson, a career criminal in Charlotte NC was seen shoplifting at a Burlington Coat factory outlet. When store security attempted to apprehend her, she and one of her accomplices fled and jumped into a storm swollen stream. Justice served, Gracie is dead. Police were able to locate her body because she had a tracking bracelet on due to an earlier arrest for theft. No name given for the missing thief, but comments at Yahoo say it was her sixteen year old daughter. Family values, and two less mouths on welfare.
I'd say Darwin Award for the daughter, mommy most likely has other brats to carry on her bad genes.

TEA Party half assed it

Its not enough to say taxed enough already, and no new taxes. I commend them for that. Allowing unsustainable debt to continue to grow though is a serious problem. People are floating the debt to GDP ratio as a number to base debt on, pointing out how many people are solvent and still have debt that exceeds their yearly income.
Here is the problem, GDP is not our governments income. Its national income, and unless you are dumb enough to accept 100%, or higher, taxes, then the correct number is around 20% of GDP. State and local taxes further erode GDP, as do the salaries of the leeches of society, from welfare recipients to lawyers. Any one who does not produce wealth is a leech.
Its OK to be a generous society. When we see folks in need, nearly all of us will dig down in the pocket for some cash to help out. As a nation, its not OK. Yes, there are many nations who are not as well off as we are. Ask your self why. This nation should be among the poorest. We are a late comer on the world stage. Many of our inhabitants were the poorest of poor from other poor nations. Vast distances further erode wealth building as transportation costs are factored in, yet we are the wealthiest. Its because we had a system that rewarded hard work. people got rich by the sweat of their brow, by being smart, and by working together.
I hear it all the time though, "spread the wealth". Why? Did you work hard to make Bill Gates rich? Was it your sweat that made Walmart a retail empire? So maybe you worked for Sam, Were you paid a fair wage? Could you have made more else where? if so, why didn't you? If some millionaire got rich by stealing from others, by swindling them, by manipulating the stock market, or any market to take off the hard work of others with out doing any of it them selves, Then you might have a case, a criminal case.
Most of the rich got that way by honest means. Sure, there are the George Soro's of the world, men who manipulate the markets, men who buy political favors, but they are not the ones people are screaming about. They are screaming about the guys who built companies from the ground up, found a need in the market, met that need, and got rich doing it. Some times I have to wonder, why does Bill gates need any more money? Its none of my business. He EARNED it. I did not. Its his money, not mine. I should be mad at the guy who has my money, the fellow, too lazy to work, but smart enough to fake a medical condition and get tax dollars, my dollars, for it. Know what? I am.
The TEA party needs to get back to DC and get to work on slashing the spending. If it is not a bonifide constitutional function of government, it needs to be eliminated completely. If it appears to be bonifide, it needs to be cut back.
If you are not sure where to begin, here is a suggestion; The government own more then 2/3 of Utah and Nevada, put every square inch of it on the auction block. Limit sales, no international distribution except to individuals, and limit them to tracts of 160 acres or less with a requirement they must occupy the land for no less then three years beginning within two years of the sale. All US citizens can buy as much as they can afford. Heck, Bill Gates could own a state by the end of it.

Granny must not have gotten her check

F-16s intercepted a civilian kit plane in the no fly zone set up for the commie party in Chicago. The pilot was a 75 year old grandmother. Can't blame em for scrambling the jets. A pissed off senior is the last thing Barry needs. Bet she knows how to dish out an ass whoopin' to the biggest ass in America.
Be afraid Barry, TEA party Patriots are every where.

Dear Animals

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PETS, THIS IS A TRUE STORY. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T, IT IS STILL A TRUE STORY.

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.

Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.



The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.



I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.



For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.



The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, and then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.



Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:





TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:



(1) They live here. You don't.

(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.

(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.

(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.



Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

(1) eat less,

(2) don't ask for money all the time,

(3) are easier to train,

(4) normally come when called,

(5) never ask to drive the car,

(6) don't smoke or drink,

(7) don't want to wear your clothes,

(8) don't have to buy the latest fashions,

(9) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and

(10) if they get pregnant! , you can sell their children...

We got nuthin

What we didn't get was a kiss, but that most likely is because they aint done screwing us. SSDD in Washington. They are all braying about how this will cut spending down the road. yup, and me swerving now is gonna help me miss the pot hole in the road that is two miles away. Sure, I missed this one, but there are a thousand more on this sorry trail of woe. We need to force congress to balance the budget AND reduce taxes. That means spending goes down dramatically. Its not hard, all the congress critters need to do is man up and quit the vote buying. Start with foreign aid. It is pointless to pay Egypt to not attack Israel. Quit handing them money, most of it went into Mubaracks pocket any way. Just make sure Israel has access to plenty of missile's, bombs and tank ammo. We can quit paying all the nations, and the Untied Nutcases as well. Why do we borrow money from China and give it to Vietnam? That is plain stoopid.
Next up, lets cut corporate welfare. GE paid no taxes, and GM got a bail out. That kind of BS needs to end.
We need to eliminate NEA, and about 99% of the alphabet soup that has been created in the last century. last, we need to end the welfare and its related bastards, SSI, disability, etc.
