Via Insty is THIS.

Balanced budget with little pain in less than 10 years.

All it takes is a bit of restraint.

Hopefully, we voted enough in last time to make it happen.

As they say, RTWT

I heat with wood. (last months gas bill was $50, and I live in a 1970’s house in the greater Chicago area)

I REALLY REALLY want one of these. Shouldn’t be too awfully hard to build……

That the best “republican response” would be:




“All that shit he said? I call Bullshit”


Thank you, good night.

From a circulated e-mail—no author listed. ~Bob. Excerpt: Think of it this way: A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year. A vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons a year. So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. They claim 700,000 vehicles so that’s 224 million gallons saved per year. That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. 5 million barrels is about 5 hours’ worth of US consumption. More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million. We spent $8.57 for every dollar we saved. I’m pretty sure they will do a great job with our health care, though.

Think of this when you hear the Obama speech on Tuesday. Rumor has it that there will be a lot of use of the word “investments”.  (And,of course,”civility”, but that’s another topic).

Remember how well  the “Cash for Clunkers” investment worked…..

That Tam has suddenly become (ahem) middle aged…

She was reportedly unavailable for comment.

(I personally think she looks great for someone as old as she is reported to be….)

Happy Birthday, Tam!

Happy Birthday, Mr Browning.

My gunsafes are filled with several multiple examples of your genius.

Thanks.

or not.

But THIS is a heartwarming tale.

Go, read. Think. 

So it would seem that the NAACP folks in South Carolina are easily offended….

In order to use the State Capitol steps, and not make anyone quake in their shoes Pee themselves in fear have the vapors seeing a president who owned slaves 200+ years ago, the Anti white rally Anti confederate flag protest organizers placed a box in front of a bronze statue of President Washington.

What, really, did they accomplish here? Insulting someone? Hiding from the history of this country? No one can change who our first (white) president was. Yes, he was a slave owner. Yes, he no doubt did many things that were, by todays standards, less than good.

Deal with the past. Hiding from it will not make it go away. The fact that many of the attendees freely travelled thousands of miles to be at the trally shows that things are NOT like they were 235 + years ago. Think of it. Hundreds of black people travelled thousands of miles, freely….Unmolested. Yet they feel they are still opppressed. They were able to travel to this rally, yet they are economically disadvantaged.

I am offended that they chose to hide the statue of our first president, as if by doing so they can erase history.

You can see the press picture of the box here. Others think it is because Washington was white, not that he was a slaveowner. Might be right
