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
its 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 the Congress for $250
BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?
a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.00.
b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.00.
c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets
$2,066,012.00.
Washington, D.C. .... HELLO!!! .. Are all your calculators broken??
This is too true.........And these numbers don't lie.........and, it's not funny!!!
What is the problem with celebrities? Why can’t they just go away when it’s over? They all get their 15 minutes of fame, while some get a half-hour and the really lucky ones get a whole hour. That should be enough for anyone, but not for these old Hollywood has-beens. They will do anything to get back in the limelight.
A prime example is Sally Fields, aka, the Flying Nun and the forgettable Norma Ray. She exposed herself at the Oscars as crass as someone wearing see-thru cellophane clothing. She forget her lines to her rant against the war, oh please, how many takes does it take for her to get out 2 or 3 lines without stumbling like an incoherent old drunk? Then, to show what a classy lady she really isn’t, she had to use the blasphemous G-d D—n word in the one line she remembered, as if God had anything to do with the war. She hasn’t made print for so long, I thought she had died. So, now she is back in print, but this time to no applause. This time it is pity. She is to be pitied for her gluttony for fame, for her inappropriate behavior and her gutter mouth.
No matter how many plastic surgeries she has or how fat her bank account might be, she is still pathetic. Fake looks, idolizing self and worshiping money is a straight road to damnation. Have a nice trip, Sally, old gal…
The United Nations has overstayed their welcome and it is time they left our country. We should withdraw from the United Nations, kick them out of our country and start a legitimate organization for countries that truly want peace and will not use aggression, unless it is in the form of self-defense.
The United Nations is a congregation of the biggest crooks and thieves in the entire world. Some of the most violent human rights abusers are in the United Nations and equal to the United States when it comes to voting. That is so absurd; it should be criminal. We gain nothing from being in the United Nations, especially compared to our costs.
We can establish new trade policies with like-minded countries. A true most favored nation status, not the political status that is now in place. No more diplomatic immunity. When in our country, you must abide by our rules and pay your fines. No special parking privileges. If you commit rape, you go to prison.
No more visas issued to people like Arafat (when he was alive), Iran’s little dictator (needing heel lifts in his shoes), and others of their ilk. If our President wants to meet with them, they can do it in a neutral country. Never shall they contaminate our soil ever again.
We need to fumigate our country and rid it once and for all of the stench of the United Nations. If someone would organize a march against the United Nations, I would join that march in a heartbeat. We should chase them to the nearest airports and make sure they get aboard. My sign would say, “Get Out and Stay Out”.
Sometimes, you just need to get away from it all. I’ve been on vacation and enjoyed every minute that I spent relaxing, gift shopping, boating, swimming and most of all spending time in the sun. I am a sun bunny at heart. I didn’t waste one minute thinking or talking about politics, Presidential candidates, health care or immigration. I felt clean and pure, happy and happier. I think I will make this a regular habit.
What did I find upon my return?
Hillary is running away with the Democratic campaign and the MSM is keeping the Chinese money as low key as possible, so not to derail her train. We have suffered through the Chinese connection with Bill, can’t we please have one election without the Chop Suey menu served up with Misfortune Cookies?
Obama is fading as fast as a sprinter in a long distance race. He is destined to be the Vice, in charge of keeping all the blacks on the Democratic farm as slaves to the party. I must say that blacks are the most loyal people in America. They have voted 90% plus for Democrats for as long as an elephant’s memory. The Democrats had control of government for over 40 years, yet they did not fix the black problem, like promised. They did not rid the cities of ghettos and replace them with decent housing, help blacks get jobs to elevate their status. The blacks have only progressed with the help of Republicans, funny, you would think they would vote Republican, but no, their war cry is against Republicans. This is very strange behavior.
I wonder what it feels like to be taken for granted? Do the Blacks realize Democrats think they are stupid and greedy? I say that because the Democrats tell the blacks the same thing every election year and make promises they do not keep, yet, the blacks cannot wait to vote for them. The Democrats throw them a $10 a month increase in their welfare payments to shut them up. To hell with education and dignity, let them wallow in the depraved atmosphere of Rap/Hip Hop and drugs. If that is what they want, we will not stop them. So say the Democrats…this is America and they have the right to be second class citizens.
Who appointed the most blacks to high positions in the government, such as the Cabinet members and Heads of Departments? Not the first black president, Bill Clinton, no, it was that Dastardly Dan of Presidents, George W Bush. I find that rather amazing.
The blacks must now choose between the pasty white woman who fakes a black accent when she is speaking to blacks in the south versus a real black man, who isn’t black enough. What to do, what to do…This is going to be a Tylenol moment, if there ever was one.
The year is 1907, one hundred years ago......
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Bill's fans said it was a private affair and none of our business regarding his sex life. I hold a different opinion. He was tarnishing the name of our house, The White House, not his house. If he was still a hillbilly back in Arkansas, I don't give a rat's ass what he does in his house or how many women he had sex with, unless it was by force. We paid his rent in the White House, so I think he owed us the decency to treat it with respect. We should have sent him the bill for the fumigation after he left.
He is so proud of his sexual prowess that he cannot help but smirk when it is mentioned. When he can compete with Wilt Chamberlain, then he can smirk, but not a minute before. Even if it only took 20 minutes to have sex and that is counting the time to undress, perhaps, say hello and 3 minutes for the actual act. He was still doing it on the clock, our clock. Any man so weak as not to control his sexual lusting while President is too weak a person to be President.
We need someone with courage, strength, American values to represent us. Not some bulbous nosed pervert. And now onto his wife, (in name only, for political purposes).
She espouses she is for women's rights. Spare me, Mrs. Bill. You are running on Bill's coattails. Without Bill, you are just another Women's Libber, scorned and mocked by real women and the only comment about you to make the news is about your shrill voice and your huge thighs.
But you are running for President and I have a question for you. How could you not know what was going on with Bill and all his female companions? Everybody else at the White House knew. The Secret Service, the cooks, the maids, the porters, the staff, the dog walker, everyone knew except you. How can that be? How dumb or dim are you? This alone lets me know that you are not smart enough to be President. Alert and aware are not two words used in the same sentence with your name. You allowed yourself to be humiliated over the Monica Lewinsky affair. I don't want a President so easily and readily humiliated. The message you sent to other women is, no matter what, stay with your man, even though he humiliates you in public. In my humble opinion, that is just sick!
Now you talk tough while campaigning, but it is a phony facade. We have seen you in action and it was no action at all. You are not equipped to be President, you do not have the Right Stuff. Please do this country a favor and take your horny husband and go back to Arkansas. Buy a sheep ranch, so Bill can stay busy.

GENEVA - The campaign poster was blatant in its xenophobic symbolism: Three white sheep kicking out a black sheep over a caption that read "for more security." The message was not from a fringe force in Switzerland's political scene but from its largest party.
Under the plan, entire families would be expelled if their children are convicted of a violent crime, drug offenses or benefits fraud.
"We believe that parents are responsible for bringing up their children. If they can't do it properly, they will have to bear the consequences," Ueli Maurer, president of the People's Party, told The Associated Press. The party claims foreigners — who make up about 20 percent of the population — are four times more likely to commit crimes than Swiss nationals. So far, however, there has been little popular backlash against the posters.
"We haven't had any complaints," said Maurer.
Don't you think the world is fed up with no account immigrants that just want a free ride. We are not alone in this struggle. Europe is being overrun with Arabs, mostly Islamists, and the Europeans are becoming very uncomfortable with the Islamists demands. They feel like they are losing their own country, and they are. I am surprised it took them this long to figure it out, but they are socialists, so there you go.
Quote of the Century ...and it's only a
single sentence. We should learn this lesson and send illegals back to their countries before they overrun us.
Who would have thought there would be a Beauty Contest on Capitol Hill? No, they didn’t walk the runway or change from evening gowns to skimpy bikinis, but The Hill newspaper somehow managed to select the top 50 beautiful people in Washington. I read the list and viewed all the photos twice and didn’t see Hillary’s name or photo. Hillary even wore a blouse that showed cleavage according to Tim Russert on Meet the Depressed to show she was womanly, but it didn’t impress The Hill.
Rep. Brad Ellsworth was #1 on the list. Nancy Pelosi was #4. I guess those thousands of dollars for plastic surgery, botox injections and whatever else self indulgent people do, paid off. Poor Hillary couldn’t make the top 50. I guess The Hill isn’t into pear shaped females or expressions that could kill from 50 feet. This is just more evidence that Bill is not particular when it comes to women. He’ll do any women he can. They say the homely ones make better wives because they are so grateful. I think that is cruel and mean-spirited. What do they say about homely men, nothing. Not fair…
It is up on the front page, above the fold, with the relevant political news. Yeah, I would place it as equally important as world peace, and the war on terror, wouldn’t you? Hey, beautiful politicians are hard to come by, so give them their proper respect.
O.K., everyone sing now, “There he is, Mr. America, There he is, My ideal.”

BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq (AP) - The airplane is the size of a jet fighter, powered by a turboprop engine, able to fly at 300 mph and reach 50,000 feet. It's outfitted with infrared, laser and radar targeting, and with a ton and a half of guided bombs and missiles.
The Reaper is loaded, but there's no one on board. Its pilot, as it bombs targets in Iraq, will sit at a video console 7,000 miles away in Nevada.
The full report is on the Drudge Report. No cockpit window looks strange, but she is a real beauty. With more and more of these drones, we will be able to save many lives in combat. The troops will be doing a lot of clean up action. I love it. They didn’t say exactly when they would be put in use, but they plan on using them in Iraq. I bet they are there now. I’d like to see a demonstration. Bet it’s awesome. I love technology and we are the best. Way to go, USA.
