Sitting down over brews....

I probably should not post at 2AM. Sorry to be such a downer. I quess it is theraputic if nothing else. Dave.

Not to side track the "Beer Fest" I would have liked to see the Dos Equis guy there instead of Joe Biden, but did any of you notice as the TV cameras showed Congressmen leaving for a month long recess not one of them had their heathcare reading material? These idiots will have one month to read and have it explained to them (yes there are some big words) and they will come back and vote still not knowing the contents of the bill.

Im sorry, but you had better options than this guy, Americans deserve better than some guy repeating hope and change and a media that does not bother to find out what that means. Eight months in and he is still campaigning against George Bush, it is his show now and the reviews are starting to stink.

prof Gates now has a comedy routine. While at a book signing on Marthas Vineyard (Obamas summer playground) he does a schtick about looking taller in his mug shot, getting arrested at the WhiteHouse, getting Crowley (the cop) kids into Harvard if he never gets arrested again. He also explains how relieved Crowley was when gates shook his hand. This clown is way past his 15 min of fame. has not been home yet because of the threats, had to shut down his website because it was overloaded with + & - comments. This ordeal(which he started by being uncooperative and ranting) has gone to his swollen head.

As for your Presidential choice, well if Obama has to leave office prematurely, Biden will get hiccups and have to resign and then we get Nancy Pelosi...... careful what you wish for!

I wouldve threw my vote at Hillary, Billy wouldve taken control of the situation, he knows how to balance things, and juggle a couple of the ladies..he was just releasing some pressure

Stimulus my eye.
Our company is tied in with road and infrastructure construction here in Michigan. We, and I mean construction companies we work with, have seen very little that can be attributed to the "stimulus program".

Marilyn was a little on the chunky side too.. maybe it was those red lips, come to think of it, she got around alot

maybe dumping money into infastructure does work, beats bombing mud huts,
2 new bridges by me, all the roads being re-concreted, not asphalt but good old fashioned concrete, i hope construction workers like to boat...another month added to the clunkers for cash, gotta love them Harvard guy's

this one might get axed, a little half and half boy asked his mother, am I more Jewish or more African American? the mother replied, I dont know you are going to have to ask your Father, the little boy then asked his father the same question, and with surprise the father replied "why would you ask me something like that? and the little boy came back with, well Tony down the street is selling his bike for 50 bucks and i dont know if i should j-w him down 25 or just wait until nightime and steal it

and politically correct i might add

Actually...we got attacked twice, in march 1992 some terrorist faction bombed the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, 30 people died and over 250 injured.

Again, in july 1994 some terrorist car bombed the AMIA building (Israeli mutual asociation of Argentina), 85 people died and there were over 300 injured.

You might have a point there Eric...except that we live in a representative republic. There's also a big difference between democrat and democratic.

When Congressmen spend half of their time running for the next election and we have people voting for a living, we may end up as a democracy.

More Bush bashing? Ask Kristof where he's going.

Thats how we got our current president, the media feed us hope and change without investigating what that might be.
I think I know why we went into Iraq, It was a country with bad things going on, that looked on paper to be an easy victory, that would send a message to other countries that would be more difficlt to battle. We executed the invasion brilliantly but screwed the occupation. I think it was a good tactic that suffered from bad management. What do you do when you are attacked by a group, not a country and they fly planes into your buldings. There is no precedent for handling that situation. Do nothing and you are a weak taget, fight back and you are overeaching your authority. It is easy to sit back with hindsite and armchair quarter back. I think the guy followed his convictions and did his best.BY the way, Is he still running? The current administration is dissmanteling everything this country was built on. Our constitution lead us to a success never before achieved in such a short time, why do we want to mess with that success. The recipe is there to be followed, socialism has never achieved similar results. So what should we do? Duuuhhhhh.

Eric - I agree with you - We went to war in Iraq to assure oil access. Oil is the lfeblood of our nation & we haven't fought the last battle over it either.

I fully admit, I am part of the problem - have a V8 truck so I can haul my V8 boat to the water just for fun.

Just being honest, no plan to change.
