mud spelled backwards is dum...oh wait thats a bad thing...right?

NEway,
"I went for the kind that were mellow and sweet
And the world's sweetest eggs are the eggs of the Kweet
Which is due to the very sweet trout which they eat
And those trout...well, they're sweet 'cause they only eat Wogs
And Wogs, after all, are the world's sweetest frogs
And the reason they're sweet is, whenevr the lunch
It's always the world's sweetest bees that they munch
And the reason no bees can be sweeter than these...
They only eat the blossoms off Beezlenut Trees
And these Beezlenut Blossoms are sweeter than sweet
And that's why I nabbed several eggs from the Kweet."
-Dr. Seuss' Scarbled Eggs Super.

What is a billion???

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency
did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
b. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
c. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
d. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. (Are they
trying to say we evolved? ? I don?t believe it. ? )
e. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our
government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans. It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for
$250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, what does it mean?

a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man,
woman, child), you each get $516,528.
b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets
$1,329,787.
c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012 Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! .. Are all your calculators broken?? This is too true to be very funny.

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.
Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

prosperity, absolutely no national debt, the largest middle class in the
world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What the heck happened?????

Seriously though, the Constitution didn't allow for all the absurd taxes imposed on us today. We need a change, power back to the people, and to the states. No more big government!!!

Ok, that's my tirade for the day.
