Wonderfully clear thinking to wake up to.


Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists,
Marxists, Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this
latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I
know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future
generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two
ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is
right, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, slate it up to irreconcilable differences, and go our own ways. Here is a model dissolution agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each
taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our
two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be
relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly
divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate
tastes. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You
are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell (you are however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical
companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.

You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan Hockey Moms, greedy CEO's, and Rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood . You can make nice with Iran, Palestine, and France, and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or way of life are under assault, we'll provide them job security.



We'll keep our Judeo-Christian Values. You are welcome to Islam,
Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClaine. You can have the U.N. But
we will no longer be paying the bill. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup
trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru Station
Wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare, if you can find any practicing
Doctors (that is practicing, Howard Dean) who will follow to your turf
(sic). We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not aright.

We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem.
I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach
The World To Sing, Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World.

We'll practice trickle down economics, and you can give trickle up
poverty its best shot. Since it often so offends you we'll keep our History, our Name, andvour Flag. Would you agree to this?

In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR on who will need
whose help in 15 years.


Sincerely,

P.S. Please take Barbra Streisand.

Well tomorrow afternoon begins my going back to work phase. I have a physical at 1500 then some paperwork to do and soon back in the truck.

I've been off work now for a year or so. I guess the routine of actually having something to do will be good for me. Lately I haven't felt like even picking up a camera because everything around here always looks the same.

I watched the super duper bowl. I was surprised by the closeness of the game but not with who eventually won. Some of the commercials were OK. I enjoyed all the Budwieser ones but never drink the stuff because it doesn't taste like beer.

Living in God's country.

It sure is rough having to live in the desert this time of year. It's right around 75 degrees with some clouds floating around. Nice gentle breeze. I just came in from having a cigar and was perfectly comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt.

I have a new neighbor behind me now. We just turned it into a truck driver neighborhood. He drives and so does his son-in-law. The last person in that house just let it go back to the bank and the new one got it for a song. He paid roughly a third of what the bank had in it. Good time to buy houses here if you can sit on them for a couple of years.

Post election rant.

Another nameless blogger seemed all excited about two things this morning. Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. It seems this fellow is a liberal and we all know they run their politics on what "feels good". Emotions rather than logic dictate how they vote and what they think is the "correct" stand on any political point.

From what I could find on the net, Limbaugh made some comment about wanting BO to fail. I too want a lot of his policies to fail. I don't want this country to slide down into socialism like Europe has done.

We have the largest economy in the world and it didn't get that way by having it run by the government. It got that way by government staying out of the way.

Now I've heard BO say he wants to tax the rich. Aren't these the people who grow the economy? Don't they make the jobs we working people need? Taxing something is a good way to have less of it. Want less wine just tax the people who make it. Tax all the little vices in life and get rid of them. If you did that I suspect the suicide rate would go up with the side benefit of controlling population growth.

I don't really want our economy, health care or whatever run by the same people who run the post office. It took five days by pony express to get from Missouri to California. Now it takes a week to get across town.

As for Fox News, they've gone so far liberal I quit watching them.

Change for better or worse

Time to take down my target. I'll steal a line from Glen Beck and say he's my president (or will be shortly) and I'll support him when I can and oppose him when I must.

I managed to survive the Carter years so I guess I'll survive these too.

Soon

I hope it never becomes true but it is a fun target. I don't have darts but a pellet gun seems to work just fine.

Some people need a plexiglass window in their stomach.

I hear bad things about the deficit spending going on with our government and more to come. The average cost of the new President's jobs is going to be over $300K per. Just give me the money and I'll take care of myself.

It's not the governments job to bail out me or anyone else. They will raise taxes on all kinds of businesses even though a business doesn't pay taxes. They just pass the cost on to us. Want less of something just tax it. Just what makes sense of raising taxes on GM and then give them money? People who think that was a good idea need a cranial/rectal inversion.
