Shovel This

by Mr Shizzo

The words of "hope" coming out of Washington are, "Yes, we can," and "I screwed up."

And the "stimulus" package, which in reality is the "big government programs" package, is full of "shovel-ready" initiatives. No one mentioned that "shovel-ready" meant the shoveling of cash-dung into a hole in the ground.

So, we can all rest assured that, "we can all screw up."

Senator, Grow a Spine

by Les James

No humor today. Today I rant. 

I had lost all hope that I would ever see change in the one party system, we as a people, have voted into office.  What a surprise when the Congressional Republicans actually stood-up, and unanimously, voted against the massive liberal feeding frenzy that is the "stimulus" package.


OK, Republican Senators, it's your turn. The vast majority (like 99%) of those who voted for you, are holding their breaths, waiting to see if you have the spines to do what is right, as opposed to what is politically expedient.


Trying to cross the aisle will only be perceived by the left as weakness, and weakness is to be ridiculed and exploited.  Cliche as it may seem, it's still always better to be respected than liked. Especially when you want to be liked by people who despise you. Earn the Democrats' respect like a thief respects a home owner with a loaded gun.

Your loyalty should be to the values you told us you had when you ran for office. I could care less if my representatives like me. I want them to respect the promises they made to me.

Fixing the Economy: Buy Me a Puppy

by Les James

The government knows full well that recessions, if left alone, historically, tend to reverse after about twenty-four months. Since we went into this one about thirteen months ago, we only have to wait out another eleven, before it will being to right itself. 

But all of this "economic stimulus" isn't about recovery, it's about control. In the long term, the greater the people are in debt to the state, the greater power the state has over We The People.

With one sixth, of the Obama's proposed 825 Billion economic stimulus package, going to schools, with the idea that it will make people feel better about being poor and unemployed, by allowing them to go to college instead or letting their kids sit in a better looking classroom, it stands to reason that buying unhappy people pets will have much the same effect. Now that was a very long sentence to describe a simple principle -our government is now focused on keeping us sedated.

 I know I'll feel better after the Obama brats get their new dog, and I can only imaging my own joy at have a tail wagging, bundle of furry fun running around my house. Just think, if Obama will just give all of us doggies of our own, we'll be too busy to worry about how we're going to pay for all of the economically crippling programs and give-aways that are squandering away our grandchild's futures.

But we shouldn't get just any dog.  No way. Every household should receive a very large bred pooch.  They're so cute when their small! We'll be so engrossed in playing with our new best friends, that we won't even notice their rapid growth or the increase in how much of our incomes they'll be eating.

And since it will be illegal to try to restrain them or stop any further increase in their now over-bloated, lard filled, Biggest Loser, fat asses, that they'll just crap all over the place, chew up the furniture and raid the pantry, on top of our bank accounts.  We'll just let them, in an attempt to keep them happy, because of all the good, loving intentions, they were suppose to deliver.

In the end, we'll discover that this short term solution to our unhappiness, has had very long term down-side effects.  Eventually, all we'll be left with is a very large, fat, unruly, ungrateful, junk yard dog, that will bite the hand that feeds it.

Maybe I don't want a free puppy after all.
