A Billion $ Question

How many zeros in a billion? This is too true to be funny.

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 it's 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.

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 Congress for

250 BILLION DOLLARS

To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...

What does it mean?

A.

Well...If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans

(every man, woman and 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.

What the hell happened???

I Wonder

What racial slur will define this white asshole I am. Good God Almighty! Pasty? Creamboy? What is it? The ESPN fellow who wrote 'chink in the armor' was being creative in the use of the English language. We are sick as a society. We can say nothing without offending someone.

Hell Is Indeed Going To Freeze

   I have followed politics since I was an early teenager.  I am now 66 years of age.  Since the time Social Security was passed and up until this past year, the Democrat Party has accused the Republicans of trying to gut Social Security – UNTIL LAST YEAR!!

   All of a sudden, with the suspension of the payroll taxes  which are to fund Social Security, it has been sold as a tax cut to the Americano peoples.  Absolutely unbelievable!  Can  you even begin to imagine if Bush were proposing this fiasco? 

   I know “I” never thought I’d see this happen… then today the ‘elephants’ capitulated for continuation through the end of this year.  We are worse than sheeple.  It is disgusting, it is dishonest, and the people are not being told the consequences.

   Dear Heavenly Father, please look down on us with kindness and compassion for us; we are going to need it in the end, (if we make it to the end). 

Round and About

   So I am a Clint Eastwood fan, have been for many years.  Doubt there is much one can do to detract from that fact.  I just wish, his Super Bowl ad had mentioned the millions and millions of dollars the taxpayer had give in order to ‘supposedly’ make Chrysler profitable.  I was born at night Clint, but not last night.  The profitability part is doggone questionable by the way.

   http://goo.gl/gwoiP  So Ms. Dahlkemper now regrets her vote for Obamacare.  Sucker!  What more can one say except many congress persons got suckered.  Ha ha ha HA HA…. we are the suckers!!!

   http://goo.gl/lzD4M  I am sure this is at least the second time the people of California have voted to ban same sex marriage.  Do they not know ‘the people’ DO NOT COUNT!??!  Wassa matta them people?

   http://goo.gl/DKGiJ  If you want to see something deliciously funny, watch Eric Bolling test drive a Chevy Volt.  Now before you git ur buttocks in a snit because he works for Fox, Eric is a GM shareholder – he wants the doggone thing to succeed – just watch the video, it is priceless.

   Once again the payroll tax extension is coming up for extension. I wonder just how many people ‘know’ it is being paid for via an extra fee when one gets a mortgage.  I can think of no better definition of ‘there is no free lunch’. 

   I will freely admit none of the Republican candidates truly excite me.  I can equally say I would vote for an orange juice can before I would vote for our current president.  Just saying. 

This’n That

   Komen vs Planned Parenhood – You want to know why “I” learned many years ago to not give to charities?  Exhibit A  is this fiasco. If you do not agree with the left you are doomed.  Read just a few of the comments in this link  http://goo.gl/1vGRR  and then tell me one has a fighting chance if they disagree one iota.  I will never buy another pink ribbon ‘anywhere’ unless or until I am assured Komen’s money is not going to support abortion.  You are better off giving your money individually to a crack addict.  At least you know where it is going.   Exhibit B by the way was when I was in basic training.  In those days they had what was known as The Red Feather Campaign – we recruits were told in no uncertain terms it was the thing to contribute to.  Oh, and the assistant Drill Instructor took up the collection… we later learned he had pocketed these contributions.  Lesson learned early in life.

   Remember during the political campaign of years prior when the word ‘TARGET’ was so heinous while talking about targeting certain districts?  Our friend Ed Schultz is promoting packing iron these days. http://goo.gl/xcdFe  Once again, it is now a position from the left, so you hear notta from the mainstream media.  Just the way it is these days.

   http://goo.gl/shKNK  Are you one who ‘believes’ the unemployment rate went down or are you one who believes, and for that matter knows, that numbers can be manipulated?  One really must ask some questions.  I for one would like for our economy to get much better, bur for crying out loud – if the economy is so much better, why are foreclosures at record highs? If the economy is so good, why is the distribution of food stamps at an all-time high?  Just a couple of basic questions. 

   I get tickled every time I try and figure out how The Administration tries to pick and choose what regimes they will overthrow.  Would the person in the back, please stand and tell the class the difference in overthrowing the dictator in Libya as opposed to the dictator in Syria?  Make it good now so all the children can understand.
