Comments: Memo To Buddy C: Buddy, I don't think your line of thought needs any "clearing up". Your suggestion may be the best one in the long run. If there really is an extra $750,000,000,000 [that's BILLION] of our tax-paid dollars laying around in a Washington vault - a better use of it may just be as you suggested ... return it all via a pro-rated share to each taxpaying household. I'd rather have that money returned to me to spend myself, than have it go bail out the overpaid crooks who created this meltdown and allow them to keep on keeping on as usual. They DO NOT deserve a second chance. BUT THEN, after the current financial meltdown subsides, Washington will soon be back in our faces pleading to use our money to bail out the floundering U.S. auto industry ... again.

Comments: I apologize for the one bad word used in my last post...but Barny Frank is a real idiot and a stupid one at that...is that a double entendre? And he makes me so mad spending our money with no idea what he is doing...so please accept my deepest apologies and especially Mr. Bovie 'Botox' Browning and Mr. McGee because they are Barnie's counter parts in our class and I did not mean to offend them.
Comments: McGee...my answer to all this crap is to continue pounding the politicians until they quit...or do the right thing such as stop all the stupid spending and give us our country back...they are currently being overrun by phone calls and e-mails...and we can't stop now...I realize that this mess is tough to take...but the alternative is worse. Since the government is going to do this anyway...then lets pound them until their crazy with the following requirements: 1. If there is a profit made from our money...because it is all ours...like the bailout of the Savings and Loan problem of the 1980's...give every U.S. Citizen the profits in the form of a tax free check. Rather that using the money for more government spending...and let us spend for once. 2. Make sure that there is at least one...everyday common citizen on the oversight board for every politician or government bureaucrat doing the overseeing of the program. 3. Make sure that if someone comes for a bailout...that no one in the company benefits financially...other than to keep their job until after the money is paid back. 4. Sue the politicians that caused this...Barney Frank (D-MA) and Christopher Dodd (D-CN) as well as every Democrat that blocked every attempt to solve this problem 7-8 years ago when the Fed Chairman Greenspan and everyone else was saying this crisis was brewing...and all Dodd and the Fag from Massachusetts could do was threaten Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by telling them to make easier loans so people who could not afford houses get the loans anyway...then send the same politicians to prison for letting this happen. 5. Lock up OBAMA before he gets control of the White House...I don't want my Presidential Living Quarters to be called anything but the White House. And if anyone has more...just add them to this list! McGee...just keep working...it's good for your sole. LOL
Comments: If Coasty Don is in charge of refreshments, I think the drink of choice will be Penn. Dutch Egg Nog. OK Pool Guy, I got the gate. Now Buddy, why are we taking you? What are you good for? NO golfing on the boat!!
Comments: John S - thanks for clearing up my view point. as only you can take something complected and explain elegantly to all Sandy Joe - make sure you get me a ticket on that Cruise ship but I don't think D. L. will make it a tea party
Comments: Sandy J, I can trap sombody.
Comments: Yes, James, Jack and Lamar Hardwick are brothers. Jack played trumpet in the band and Lamar was a drummer.
Comments: Memo To Buddy C: According to my faultless HP12C calculator, the answer to the fuzzy math problem you presented is $3,925 per tax-paying citizen. My check is in the mail (right after you send yours). [ try $785,000 divided by 200 ]
Comments: Political comment: There will be a third political party in this country in 4 years. Middle class America will put a stop to this Washington nonsense. I work 80 hrs. a week, 2 days a week are to pay taxes and support these crooks. This is my 4th bad economy cycle, all due to greed by people with power. I'm ready for another Boston Tea party. Don L. can sail the boat, let SNL organize it, Happy Jack you guard the gate, J.D. you're our Doc. When are we leaving?
Comments: NO Jack, my singing would kill the critter, then Karen MG and SNL would trap me, and I wouldn't fair as well as the coon.
Comments: Bob, you and your family are in our prayers. Sounds like Jackie is a chip off the old block. I don't know of anyone who is happy with our choices this election. Don, thanks for the update on Dunn. That boy is worse than a prairie dog. He pops up and then disappears from sight. Rick are you sure that isn't the same coon?? He might have enjoy the car trip so much he came back and got in the trap so he could go again. He likes your company. Did you sing with the radio during the trip?? Jim, I'm talking about the stink up the place, bite you, stripe down the back, raise their tail and spray you, four footed animal skunk. You know, you're right! Except for the 4 feet, could be either group!!! 
Comments: Political Fuzzy Math All should pull out the calculator and plug the #'s and see this is POLITICAL MADNESS OF FUZZY MATH
Comments: Cheesehead, I may be calling on you to help with our son who had cancer.He is still having major issues, like post traumatic stress syndrome.Everyone,Sarah is better.She visited OU and really liked it./ Then she visited TCU and thats where she will go. Much smarter than her old man.John is a full time student and works full time. I am proud of him.My 8 yr old ,Jacqueline, has a higher reading level than anyone in the third grade, so they are moving her up.Problem is she just gets up and wanders around the room and talks to her classmates.Guys , I am having a tough time on this election.I have no party loyalties. I don't like the rhetoric from either candidate.Mike Dunn, You are in my prayers.
Comments: Jack (Hawkeye), or you talking about skunks are the other political party ??? Question : Aren't Lamar and Jack Hardwick brothers ? Surely, my memory isn't that bad. OR, is it. Virginia Butler ('65) says they were not and I believe they were. Richard - Sorry about the skunk/pol humor, also. |
