Senate Approves Federal Budget That Would End Bush Tax Cuts

AP&Fox News
WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected calls from both parties' presidential candidates to take an election-year break from pork-barrel spending as a Democratic-run Congress passed budget plans that would torpedo hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts won by President Bush.

OK Republicans its time to shine this is where we came in on this circus two years ago. Read the whole story at FOX NEWS. Republicans threw out incumbent senators and congress men two years ago because they let a similar pork spending plan go through and then tried to justify spending money like a lottery winner at Wal-Mart. The dollar is going in the dump, the housing market is crumbling, and the stock market is like a roller coaster (one where your guaranteed to barf after eating too many corn dogs). We need to write, email phone whatever we can the president to VETO this spending Bill and make Congress send one up that is Pork free with regressive tax additives. The Fact is that Bushes tax cuts from 2001 still have not taken corporate taxes back to the pre Clinton era that was a precursor to the Boom we saw in before 2000.

Now before you go all freaky on me and scream I need a tax cut before Big Oil or Wal-Mart think about this? You are already getting a tax rebate. Wouldn't a raise be better? Think about the Loan widget company in Backwater USA that wants to increase production but cannot because it can't afford to hire another 3 workers they need to accomplish production goals. If they were to get a tax cut they could hire Juan, Julio and Bob. They then could land the $$$Million dollar order give existing workers a raise and guarantee the three new employs at least a spot in the three legged race at the company picnic in July.

The fact is many Americans do not understand basic economic politics. They think the government is made of money since they make the money. Well you have to have capital to back up the money you are making and right now we are borrowing money (according to the Libs). If we are borrowing so much money, why are they spending it? That is like trying to live off credit cards. It's great for the first 6 interest free months but then WHAM, next thing you know your eating Raman from your food storage and looking for a 2nd job at the KWIKI MART. Time to be Americans everyone let write the White House today and let W know its Hammer Time.

Caught On Tape  

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

I was recently caught on tape in a small South American Village. The local villagers have just recently upgraded there entertainment systems to DVD and so have been throwing out their priceless VHS tapes. I love to collect Spanish versions of MASH and I Love Lucy. They also have killer tortillas so I like to sneak across the border an filch a couple for a nice cheesy quesadilla. I have to admit I had careful up till now, but I was not expecting to find several Youths gathered on a street corner in any remote South American Village. I think one of the kids likes to snow board since he is wearing a ski mask. Funny thing though it's summer down there now.

To The Matresses:  

Thursday, March 6, 2008

This morning while scanning headlines I came across this one:

Man Dies When Wind Flips Mattress He Was Moving:
MOUNT JULIET, Tenn. — High winds are blamed for the death of a man who died when a mattress he was sitting on was blown off the back of a pickup truck.
Police said Doyle Smith, 42, a public works employee, was helping move the mattress Monday.
The wind flipped the mattress and Smith fell and hit his head on the road. He died at Maury Regional Hospital.
Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tom Wilson said the death would be classified as weather-related

Some times I have to wonder about the pres and their reporting. This story definitely lacks details. For instance was it a Queen , Full or twin mattress. Was it a spring,air or foam. If the Media is going to bring us these hard hitting article for public awareness we need more info. I for one always sit on a Full size mattress in the back of any pick up because I find it fits nicely between the wheel wells. Queens and Kings tend to angle up the side while you may think this provides a well placed cushion for leaning it definitely could catch the wind in a case like this making air time a guarantee. I guess the Associated Pres is kind of like a a Rap stars entourage. They have several hundred reporter's (not unlike rap lackeys) that are fresh out of college indoctrination and feel that they need to report on anything from cats up a tree to what Barrack Husein Obama had for breakfast. I have to say that the Founding Fathers really had Blogging and protesting in mind when they wrote the 1st amendment. Opinion should never be restricted, randoms acts of reporting on the other hand seem like mattress filling necessary but still just fluff.
