Does it make sense to anybody that we’re spending $65,000,000 on building improvements to our schools and don’t have enough money to operate what’s suppose to be going on inside of them? Seems like another bridge to nowhere and believe me, we still can’t get there from here.
We can’t operate our schools at their fullest because we can’t afford it. Doesn’t anybody understand that?

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to capture Punxsutawney Phil’s cousin, whatever its name is. Maybe it’s Punxsutawney Phyllis. I’ve caught a rabbit, a young Robin, and two Raccoons but so far, not Phil’s cousin. I didn’t know we had that many Raccoons in the neighborhood. I will get him or her eventually because they can’t turn down a menu of cabbage, celery, and sliced apples neatly placed in our live trap and just beyond the triggering mechanism.
I almost want to eat it myself but then I’d be trapped in my own trap.

We’ve had a garbage disposal every since we bought this house new back in 1969 and it’s a much overrated appliance. The City disagrees with us because they tax us on it. At least the last I knew they did. All I know is that whenever we put things in it like onion peels or potato peelings, we might as well get the plumber’s helper out to assist the process. Otherwise the damned drain will remain clogged until we put a lit stick of dynamite down it.
We’ve replaced it several times over the years with the disposal’s horsepower ratings increasing each time. I think the one in the sink now is powered by a 350 V-8 GM engine and it too bogs down when challenged.
By the way, it does chew up egg shells fairly easy.

Our federal government is apparently working for the other side. The other side being the rest of the World. They represent the illegal Mexicans, Afghanis, Iraqis, Liberians, the Yemenis and we’re spending money on troops all over the World. When do they have time to represent us? You’ll have to tell me because I sure as hell don’t know. I could care less about a “one world order and a one world government.” That’s their dream, not mine, and I can tell you, it isn’t good for America. That means we’ll have to settle for a lot less than we have now. We can no longer go at our own fast pace and we will lose our status as the greatest nation on Earth thanks to these idiots in D.C.
We are told we’re in the Middle East to protect our national security but of course our government isn’t telling us the truth, we’re there to protect business interest. No more, no less.
Michelle Bachman had it right when she said there’s way too much un-American activity going on in this country. If I had it to do, I would convene a committee on un-American activities and haul 537 congressmen before the committee made up of regular citizens like you and I (who are thoroughly pissed at them to begin with) to explain to us what they’ve done for America lately. You’d be surprised how much head scratching will go on.
And then we would call the White House occupant and kindly asked him to come in and explain his behavior to us. Are we Americans or are we Marxist should be the big question.

A few thoughts:
If you’re out there God, please save America. Lord Obama sure as hell won’t.
I’ve recently discovered that the worst drivers in the world regularly travel I-96. They will stop on the expressway to gawk at something with no concerns about the people who are bearing down on them at 70 plus miles an hour.
I loved Howdy Doody and those puppet troupes that used to tour the schools back in the 1950s, but I don’t like Craig Ferguson’s hand puppets.
I like Lewis Black, but I don’t like Jack Black.
Okay folks, I’ve calmed down now.
Until the next time . . .
