I RECEIVED THIS OBSERVATION:
Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it and whose members will be exempt from it, signed by a president who is a closet smoker, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke. Great role models.
What could possibly go wrong?

Groucho Marx quotes.............
Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.-
Whoever named it necking was a poor judge of anatomy. -
Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse. -
All people are born alike – except Republicans and Democrats. -
Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot. -
From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it. -
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough. -
I don’t care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. -
I must confess, I was born at a very early age. -
I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it. -
I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn’t educate America if they started at 6:30. -
I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it. -
I remember the first time I had sex – I kept the receipt. -
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury. -
Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution? -
I worked my way up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty. -
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. -
Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. -
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made. -
I intend to live forever, or die trying-

Say It Ain’t So
For the Left, war without Bush is not war at all
And the Moral is......
There’s an old sea story in the Navy about a ship’s Captain who inspected his sailors and afterward told the Chief Bosun his men smelled bad.
The Captain suggested it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally. The Chief responded,
“Aye, Aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”
The Chief went straight to the sailors berthing deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.”
“Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now get to it!”
The Moral:
Someone may be promising “change” in Washington, but don’t count on things smelling any better!!!

Historic CHANGE, historic..........from Rico
Historic CHANGE? You wanted change? How about a historic banking crisis in your future?
The combination of five factors suggest that Obamanomics could not have come at a worse time, and that the collective economic genius of our politicians and government hacks may do for us all.
1. Banks are simply NOT doing enough business. Commercial bank credit growth has dropped to 2%. See chart.
2. Banks are failing at a rate NOT anticipated two months ago. See chart.
3. Defaults will increase for several more quarters.
4. The FDIC is in real trouble. Like Soc Security, here is NO CASH in the FDIC balance sheet. The government spent it on other stuff and traded IOU's for it. Great, eh? IOU's from the gov't to itself again! FDIC has to borrow any cash it needs (and pay interest) and it is 'on the hook' for about $8.3 trillion in insured deposits in a distressed banking system.
- This is a NICE way of saying FDIC is insolvent...aka BANKRUPT.
5. We may yet go below the 2% historic low in bank credit volume. See chart.
Take away: We may see in 2010 a repeat of the 1873 banking crisis aka "the long depression" which was a 40-year period of rolling recessions.
We are NOT out of the woods yet kids!!!

I don't get football...............
A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right at the fifty yard line. It was exciting too, a real nail biter. After the game, he asked her if she had a good time
“Oh, I really liked it,” she replied, “especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but… I just couldn’t understand why they were all killing each other over 25 cents.
Dumbfounded, her date asked, “What do you mean?
“Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: ‘Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!’ I’m like…Helloooooo? It’s only 25 cents!”

O'change for YOU and I..............from Rico
Obama. O'change. O crap!
Here is some CHANGE that socialism (D) can do for YOU and I!
Once upon a time, just after evil Rhodesia became the good Zimbabwe under that socialist economic genius Bobby Mugabe, the Zimbabwe dollar was worth MORE than the US Dollar.
Now, after a mere twenty years it takes several trillion Zimbabwe dollars to ride the bus and socialist Zimbabwe is one of the few world currencies that has ever had to adjust the font size on its notes to accommodate the number of zeroes required as the currency devalues.
We can all look forward to a brighter future under Obama's Zimbabwe economics.
Everyone a trillionaire! Thanks Democrats (C)!
- Be prepared: Ditch those wallets and purses and rush out an get wheelbarrows so you can haul your money to the store to buy bread and milk!
Oh YAY? ....or O crap?

Save me from deep space asphyxiation!
Under threat of of being thrown out the air lock I have decided to take the option of telling Oswald Bastable how good his poetry is.
I particularly liked they way he used the imagry to counterpoint the surelism of the underlying metaphore...
alternately you can just buy his book Meddlers in Time yourself. Do it now, do it today before he has a hyperspace by-pass built through our planet.
You can’t change history, can you?
No- but you can make a new reality, when you alter events. ‘Meddlers in Time’ explores the shaping of a parallel earth, by altering events in 9th century England.
A small band of time-traveling adventures recruit a specialist team, mainly of engineers and set about advancing 9th century technology. While doing this, they have to fight off invasions, win over the local population and have a bit of fun along the way.
Buy Waynes book for a paltry $2.50, he needs to buy more handguns and shoot stuff so you know its a good cause.
There are some people who pay for things out of their own hard-earned pay..............

ALL the money is GONE?............from Rico
For 25 years the politicians have used "our" Social Security money to finance government. This year, or next, it will start paying out more money than it takes in.
The PONZI jig may be up!!!
There is NO MONEY in the Social Security Trust Fund! It has all been spent!
ALL THE MONEY IS GONE.
ALL the money we paid into Social Security in the 1980's, 1990's, and until now isn't there anymore. The government spent it.
- There are only stacks of IOU's from the government to itself in the Soc. Sec. Trust Fund. No cash. No money. No kidding.
Try buying anything with THOSE why don't you?
- Well, those California IOU's went over so well, why not?
Thanks to the collective economic genius of Congress, we are hosed. Wonderful.
Poem of the Day.....
The leviathan of the sky does land
In England's green and pleasant land.
Its cargo more precious than gold
The body of a hero, bold.
Once the giant's engines stopped
The cargo ramp is gently dropped
Carried by six on shoulders true
The hero is saluted by the crew.
The coffin draped in Union Jack
Is slowly carried out the back.
Out of the dark and into light
Slowly down the ramp and to the right.
The six approach the hearse all black
And place the hero gently in the back.
The six then turn and march away
Their duty has been done this day.
Politicians usually have much to say
No sign of them near here this day.
They hide away and out of danger,
Much easier if the hero is a stranger.
The hearse with its precious load
Moves slowly out onto the road.
The floral tributes line the route
While comrades snap a smart salute.
At the edge of a Wiltshire town
The cortege slows its pace right down.
The streets are packed, many deep,
Some throw flowers, most just weep.
The crowd have come to say farewell,
The church bell rings a low death knell.
Regimental standards are lowered down
As the hero passed through the town.
The cortege stops and silence reigns
The townsfolk feel the family's pain.
The nations' flag lowered to half mast
Our brave hero is home at last.

Joke...
A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order He said, "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and pair of running boards."
The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?"
"No," the cook said. "Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are 2 slices of crisp bacon."
"Oh, OK!" said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.
The trucker asked, "What are the beans for, Blondie?"
She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!"

Obama's "new" health care plan...........from Rico
Maybe the "townhalls" have been more effective than I thought they would be (either because of the angry citizens or the outrage over union and ACORN goons beating them up brown-shirt style)?
Obamadinejad is trying a new approach....a new plan, let's say to snooker the American public into accepting his lunatic 'healthcare reform' sceme.
- Well, cash-for-clunkers worked so well that just 'maybe' this one will too?
Does it work for you?
