Has anyone ever actually seen $1 trillion? If that much money were dropped on the little town where I live, it would require the residents to “dig out” of the money so that they could leave their homes. It is like a blizzard of green raining down from Heaven. Superman could not fly through a storm of money that added up to trillions of dollars. Okay, all joking aside, it’s a “chit-pot-full” of money. You can read Forbes 500 and never see a man or family whose fortune is estimated to be $1 trillion, but that does not deter our congress from spending that amount on 15 percent of the population in order to give us all truly bad medicine.

The CBO estimates that the bill, as it stands, will cost $600 billion over the next 10-years, and that is without the piece of legislature they have worked on to reimburse doctors for Medicare that will total another $247 billion. If every working-class Joe went to Capitol Hill, right now, and emptied his bank account on the steps of the Congressional building, we could not begin to pay for the expansive health care monster that Madame Pelosi is bragging about having written under her tutelage. Even if Madame Pelosi had her husband’s assets liquidated and dumped-yea, that’s going to happen-on the steps it would make little difference in the monetary long run.

If every working-class Joe’s bank account won’t cover this monster bill and only 15 percent of the population is the problem, then why is congress punishing the bulk of the people to pay for it? Good question, but there is only one answer; it’s not about health care, it’s about corruption and control. All hail the “narced-up” Pelosi for her efforts in raping the United States under the guise of better medical treatment for the poor and illegal of this nation.

Many catch phrases become over-used, as people tend to think themselves chic by the usage of the phrase. “Less is more,” most often used to describe decorative trends, became annoying as every word-wise punk began to tell their audience that simplicity was the way to go. “Yo momma,” has started more fights than greedy men seeking power, and “bling-bling” got terribly tiresome and boring after the fifty-fifth use of the phrase. The numerous movies that have “I’ve got a really bad feeling about this” in their dialogue, at some point, became predictable. So with words counting for more than actions, the Obama administration has begun labeling every policy or attempted policy and program as “a history-making event.”

Hillary Clinton in describing her attempts to resolve the issue of legitimate power in Honduras has told the press that her efforts are “an historic agreement.” Olympia Snowe decided to flip-flop on her history-making signature, and Nancy Pelosi described the 1990-page health care proposal as a historic event on Wednesday. Everything that has been done under this administration has become a “historic event.”

It’s surprising that the first real constitutional Obama took after moving into the White House was not bagged and labeled for historic content.

When man discovered that round things roll that was historic. When the first really, really cold individual found out that friction could create heat that was historic. When the first light bulb shown on history, all hailed the invention as “historic,” but policy making deals that might condemn a population to servitude, congressional spending out of control, and a government ignoring the will of the people it has sworn to protect, are not historic events. These are the things that lead to historic events such as revolution, war, and the signing of peace treaties after the facts.

Yes, even noble words can get tiresome when over-used by dimwitted politicians.

Seems the only time that the liberals remember the little people of this nation is when they are interested in promoting a cause, or interested in population control and indoctrination. The latest liberal video in support of health care reform sounds as if it were written by Representative Grayson of Florida as children rebuke those who are against the proposed package by saying that we want them to die. If such a stretch of the imagination were possible, then that would still put the conservative ahead of the liberal in that we would at least give them life and protection while they are still in the womb.

It was insulting, to say the least, that the Democrats used Christianity in one earlier attempt to make the majority fold to it’s will, but this latest has surpassed insulting and has become disgusting. The Democrats are “all-in” on support of abortion and yet they use the children that would not exist-left up to them-to now shame those who do not support their efforts to socialize medicine. What they are doing, in fact what anyone does by attempting to use children to gain favor for appropriations, is to abuse the most innocent minds and bodies of children.

How many people believe that children in an age range whose idols are Mylie Cyrus and Optumus Prime actually understand what health care is all about? They do not understand the deficit, nor do they much know or care what a president and congress really does for or too the people. They understand simpler things, such as playtime is cool and school is boring. Barbie and Ken don’t want to be senators; they want to be rock stars. My 3-year-old granddaughter does not understand the true meaning behind why Dora and Kai Lan teach her alternate words for the words she is still learning in English, she just thinks they’re her friends and until she knows otherwise I will allow her to watch the cartoons.

The children used in commercials and videos to teach the adults what they should do are pawns in a game that has become more dangerous than most of us realize. The use, abuse, and abortion, of young minds are ugly tools of propaganda that do nothing but anger people of the Christian faith and belief in freedom. What has become all the more worrisome is that adults, supposedly acting as guardians to these children, have allowed them to be used for a purpose that has monetary assignments that will cripple their futures. Granted, there are those amongst us that groom their children to earn them a fine living-stage moms, desperate has-been dads, and the lot-but there is no purpose behind using children to further a political agenda and no excuse for having done so. Videos and commercials using children to further a political agenda are on a par with the Balloon Boy’s parents attempt to get a reality show.

Bonnie, Clyde, and the gang-here to fore known as Pelosi, Reid, and the liberals-have reached new human lows in their desperation to gain control of medical profits and the minds of the American people.

Vacationing at Camp David, flying to France with the family, pleading the case for Chicago to the IOC, playing golf every Sunday, 28-campaign events to raise money and support for the Democratic Party, stalling gays on the marriage act (just another city to see and unhappy people to make), a basketball game excluding women at the White House, and we wonder why Obama cannot make time to decide what the best strategy for Afghanistan might be? That whole 30-minute episode aboard Air Force One with General McChrystal is making less, and less sense as we think of all the time Obama has to enjoy while the taxpayers are wondering if they will have a job or home next week, next month, or next year.

Okay, I’ll say it; “Air Force One has seen more action since Obama was inaugurated than a twenty-five cent hooker without panty hose.” If Obama is not jetting about the country or the world in the big bird, he’s stepping off Marine One waving and half-asswardly saluting the marine who stands proudly at guard. Talk about your carbon footprint! Between Barack and Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, the skies over Europe made Big Foot look like a little leaguer in the game of Global Warming.

And that’s another thing, stop eating meat because the production of said product leaves a massive carbon footprint. I am a carnivore, my dad is a carnivore, his dad was a carnivore, and we have a long line of meat eaters in the genealogical pool. We love our iron-rich photosynthesizing veggies as well, but broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes, and carrots are just not a meal without steak, chicken, fish, or pork. For God’s sake, I’m not building nuclear warheads in the back yard, just sitting around drinking a brewski and watching the hubby grill up a nice fat juicy piece of anti-global, love-handle making meat.

We start our day at 5 a.m., around here, and are dressed and drinking coffee, watching the news and getting milk, cereal, and a diaper change for the baby. I haven’t seen a pair of pajamas this year, because the end of the day comes quickly when the last 12-hours were spent getting the oldest grandchild on the bus, getting the baby down for a nap, and settling in the 3-year-old so that she does not kill herself while I write a minor blog and start a load of blue jeans-the hubby is sexy, but it’s not wise to send him to work naked. My husband and I spent a lot of hours on the road, in the last 2 years, but it was not a joy ride or vacation, it was work. The idea of a vacation seems like a pipe dream that other people have and we only participate in as voyeurs.

Between pull-up disasters, 8 diapers changes daily, housework, lunch, dinner, and the occasional homework assignment that I understand well-enough to be of some assistance, I have no time to dream about that distant vacation that we would have been able to take if congress had not decided that we should share our wealth. That reminds me, we need to call the bank and explain that we are wealthy enough that people, like Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, have decided we have too much money left over at the end of the month. That is certain to get a snicker from the loan officer we cannot afford to see about purchasing anything that has a price tag over two hundred dollars.

I would donate my old jeans, but they’re 3-years-old and in need of repair and I’m still wearing them because there is no money in the budget for clothing. We live as most of Middle-America does, from week-to-week and month-to-month and manage to help the parents, kids, and grandkids, as much as possible, but we’re not complaining…just puzzled where that need to spread the wealth ideology comes from. We hear those like Obama-with his half a billion wealth accumulated from novelty items before he took office-talking about how the wealth must be shared. He could send us a few million and we would distribute it evenly with others who have worked hard and are still coming up short, but we just don’t have the time to get second jobs so that some illegal alien, or lazy American will not have to put on his work boots and attend a financial windfall of his own.

Now that I have accurately described what irks the living hell out of me about redistribution of wealth, it’s time to ask when Obama is going to get to work on the real problems facing this nation and quit spending taxpayer’s dollars for a 4-year long vacation in the sun and spotlight of the world.

Nancy Pelosi wants to call the “public option” the “consumer option” because it sounds better, and less threatening. Anything but the government option will do…she doesn’t want the people to think they have to pay for public option.

The latest in the health care debate on the public option is that it will be included, but states will have the “opt-out” solution. You have to love words in a set that include “out” because it sounds like something that you can “do without, get out of, or do not have to accept.” To opt-out would be the solution for those states whose constituents do not want the sweeping health reform that this Democratic-liberal congress is proposing, but it only applies to the public option and not the whole disarray of measures that will be leveled against the taxpayer. How could we “opt-out” of having to pay billions to trillions of dollars that will inevitably lead to more massive fraud, taxes, and national debt? There is the option I would like to see included in this health monstrosity of a bill.

Medicare, a poorly run government program at best, will be the hardest hit financially by this new history-making fraudulent program, and it is taxpayer funded. Nancy Pelosi, it appears, believes in some twisted-universe that the money congress spends does not come from the taxpayer’s pocket but is manna from Heaven. Nancy, dear, let me explain; Uncle Sam pays for government run programs with taxpayer dollars. The money that you and your fellow senators spend comes from every working Joe in the nation, not from Heaven. There are no solicitous cups that sit on sidewalks where the rich and generous throw off their change, but taxes that are paid yearly at an increasingly alarming rate because senators, like yourself, are unaware that people actually get up at 5 a.m., go to work, and unhappily hand over between 10 to 15 percent of their wages to the government.

Do you wonder who Ms. Pelosi thinks it is that pays for her to travel “in-stlye” aboard a jet airplane-several times a month to and from Washington D. C.? Perhaps that is the happy Air-Fairy with her little bag of quarters, dimes, and nickels, and they say there is no pot-of-gold at the end of a rainbow.

Pet Health: Doggy Treats

All treaties aside, the Russians have failed on several occasions to keep their written word in agreements of sensitive natures, but that should not matter to the “One.” Everyone that has heard the Great Orator speak knows that his administration will accomplish all-things with pretty words and the Russians, naturally, will fall in line with new policies proposed by the “One.”

With the upgrades to the Topol-M missile the Russians could be violating portions of the START treaty. No, say it ain’t so momma. Remember that little war in Viet Nam, you know…the one where our fighting men came home to the slurs and insults of conscientious objectors. While the “no-bombing treaty” was being signed the Russians were bombing the hell out of our troops along with the South Vietnamese. Not to say the Russians are incapable of keeping their word because a threat from these people is valid and should be heeded. But, but it’s Obama they are making agreements with this time, and no country surely will cross swords with the “One.”

China, on the other hand, is being China and refusing to negotiate on the proposed nuclear disarmament. Unlike White House advisors/czars, my admirations of the Chinese have not included Mao, but it is notable in their case that they make a habit of telling other countries to stick their noses elsewhere. The Chinese have that portion of international policy right, and it would have been prudent in many cases where the United States has been advised on matters of national policy by some “well-intended and well-thinking” nosey country. The Chinese policy of “Whose business is it anyway, and back the hell off,” has served that country well over the years. Maybe, they will advise the “One” to do the same, and maybe he will realize that this is one of the reasons that a world governance agenda will not work.

One can only hope that while Happy Hillary and the “One” consider turning over the locations to our nuclear silo sites, they will stop long enough to consider the ramifications of such a move. Surely, Willy Bill will be able to advise his wife against the possibility of having their home, as well as millions of American’s home, relocated by nuclear dust. All it takes, as one comedian pointed out, is an old dude with his finger on the red button yelling, “I’m not afraid to die!”

Read my lips, “Guns don’t kill, people do!” How clear does it have to be before the government realizes that the average American needs their gun for protection and not to murder. Yes, some average Americans–or those who would pass for average America–do kill but under some of the strangest circumstances and for even more strange reasons; however, those people also use knives, baseball bats, poison, and vehicles when there is no gun available or when they wish to make the death look like an accident. How one could accidently whack one’s self in the head several times and with enough force that it would knock them off their feet, is beyond comprehension, but it happens. If the CDC wishes to eliminate “gun-ownership” because the gun is unhealthy, then perhaps they should make automobiles more difficult to purchase and issue a test that would define mental stability as well, because there are–without fear of contradiction–people that should never be allowed to get behind the wheel.

The CDC is studying the effects of alchol and gun relationships to injuries and death. Woohoo, how about alcohol and it’s relationship to highway massacre? Or maybe, alcohol and it’s relationship to deaths by drowning, falling, or accidently maiming another human being with a plethora of weapons not related to the gun? Let me think; you drink a 6-pack, fall off the toilet, and become irreversibly wedged between the toilet and the wall…hopefully, you will have a brain-cancer causing cell phone nearby, or you’re left in “said position” until a good samaritan comes along to help you out of your uncomfortable and limb threatening predicament. They ban cigarettes in public places, due to health hazards, but they allow people to become polluted in public. Talk about your health hazard, especially in a French restaurant where Cherries Jubilee might be served. The ratio of head to table injuries increases with each sip of a good wine.

Our forefathers did, indeed, invent a better weapon and not for less reason than the average “big-city” dweller might find to purchase a gun. They needed a better way to insure that the target, once hit, would not find a renewed energy and continue to attack. God, bless them for giving us the weapon by which many lives have been saved. The fact that the same weapon does contribute to death is unfortunate, but rarely is the trigger pulled unless the user intends to kill his or her target. Sometimes the situation is self-defense, and sometimes it’s murder, but the gun does not activate by itself and therefore is no more deadly than the vehicle that has the less-experienced driver. People kill and they will always find a manner in which to accomplish the feat, so the gun becomes redundant in matters of injury or death. With a little luck, the CDC will not discover that too many people are injured by the simpler non-weapons, such as the table knife, fork, or spoon. It’s difficult to imagine how the laws of etiquette would be re-written to accomodate the dainty art of eating soup with one’s hands.

My motherboard wasn’t the problem…but it has been since we (my son-in-law and I) fixed the computer.  Format your drive and watch your computer really have a fit!

 All those disk–the ones that you keep thinking that you will never have to use again–become a pain, they cause storage problems, and occasionally, the one you need  was thrown out, at some point, so that your desk, your closet, your top dresser drawer, your nightstand, or your CD rack would be a much neater site for those that visited your home. The truth is that for whatever reason, we threw out the disk that came with the motherboard and are now having to download the files to restore it to it’s “former glory.” My ethernet card does not show up anywhere in my files, and so, I’m on dialup again. Probably, maybe, sometime in the near future my computer will be working like a top and back online as a DSL machine, or not…Have a great day!!!

If you’ve ever doubted the control your computer holds over your life, then just let the motherbosrd start to mess with the rest of your system. We have an extra board, but don’t if its in eorking order. Believe it or not, I’m actually using our Wii console now and this is difficult. It’s the whole eiggly hand and silly keyboard thing.

Once upon a time there was a man that would be president and his name was Al Gore. He was a tremendously democratic man and loved by liberals, but then the votes came in and he did not win. He felt scorned, he felt humiliated and then…he found a way to make his mark in history. His mark would not be a noble one but would be disguised as a noble cause; that of saving the planet. Under the guise of care for the planet and eliminating pollution Al got rich, not really really rich, but comfortably rich. Soon his eagerness to place himself, historically, became greed and the fattened wallet cried for more. Whether he was truly evil or just greedy and had allowed his greed to meter his mouth, no one will ever know, but his good intentions turned to lies and then he had to enlist more powerful men to help in his scheme; Cap and Trade, or as it has become popularly known, “Cap and Tax.”

I truly believe that had man and dinosaur cohabitated in the same period, regardless of the dino’s singular nature-that of the eating machine-man would have attempted to keep them from becoming extinct. It’s evident in our care for our pets. It’s evident in our disregard for the facts surrounding animal species that do run out of luck, and it’s evident that if anyone can benefit from the plight of a poor, helpless species a politician will. Good ole Al and the Polar bear have become two such examples of good intentions gone wrong eventually leading to lies that can no longer be glazed over with a good speal. The misspoken, or misinformed Mr. Gore has gone about the world raising awareness of the dire circumstance facing the fading Polar Bears…but there’s a problem, someone forgot to tell the bears to cease breeding while Gore did his best to bilk the starry-eyed believers into screwing over the next 10 generations of humans.

There are facets-within the scope of species demise-that man has contributed greatly towards; the whales for their blubber, the wolf for his pelt, and the buffalo because people refused to quit eating, but rarely do we contribute nearly as much as Mother Nature and logical selection. Logical selection for extinction occurs when a species has run its course. Mother Nature, on the other hand, takes a much less gentle hand and summarily dismisses some species as too weak or too much trouble for habitation. Were the human race to disappear from the earth there is a high likelihood that the domestic cat and dog would retreat shortly thereafter, due to our coddling and misinterpret nature.

Before we “cap and tax” generations to come, we need to examine the truth behind extinction and the decimation of other species on this planet. Some we can control while others we are doomed to watch fade. Had we not interfered with the natural order of things, spaying and neutering of pets would not be necessary, Mother Nature would have taken care of the problem. Rarely has any outright effect been accomplished by making a fat politician fatter. The documentary ‘Not Evil, Just Wrong’ began showing across the country this past weekend. The film is the production of an Irish pair-Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney-whose hope it is to set the record straight. Before you jump on the “cap and tax” wagon examine the facts and come away “far more” enlightened.
