I can't say it but Jackson can...


                                 "I want cut his nuts off" ....Wow,...I am glad I didn't say that.. I guess its a OK for a black guy to say that..wait, I thought that Rev. Jackson was a man of God. I guess he is showing his true colors. If Rev. Jackson is talking like this about a Brother How does he talk about people of other nationalities? See what I mean..I don't know what to do?..Imus can't say stuff, I think it was something like "nappy hair" or "nappy head" but "Cut his nuts off!?" That's street talk, think about that because I don't want to think about it. If Rev. Jackson was hoping to get a job in the Obama administration? Dude, do not hold your breath...I hope I can say "Showing his true colors" because I don't want to disrespect Rev.Jackson. He's a man of God.....

"Top 15 Richest Members Of Congress"


Top 15 Richest Members Of Congress - Business Insider


nancy pelosi
Nancy Pelosi
It's no secret that members of Congress are much more wealthy than the rest of the country. 
The average net worth of a Senator is more than $14 million, and the average net worth of a member of the House of Representatives is nearly $6 million.Thanks to analysts from the Hill we've put together the richest of the rich, looking at the top 15 members of Congress and how they're worth. We also look at how they made the money and — most of all — where they keep it. We count them down from No. 15 to No. 1. All facts and figures come from The Hill's analysis.

"Salty Language"

           It was another hot day yesterday…All winter long I complained about the cold…Well, not complained just, well yes, complained and whined…No more! I’m not going to say anything about the weather..

Comment…..Example of Greed out of control...Delta Airlines charging our soldiers who are coming home from risking their lives in those Hellholes over there $200 for the extra duffel bag. The government said they (that means we) will pick up the tab. I wonder who the ass-wipe was that thought of that charge…It must have been some dope in a staff meeting somewhere?…Duh…

No comment on the Anthony case except that I feel really bad for that beautiful little kid….

Comment…Posting a picture of your body parts on an Internet Social page is a really stupid thing to do. There is no other way to say it.. This is an example of the kind of fool who makes decisions about the future of our country and what kind of money to spend on what and where. He is the laughing stock of the political world. Plus, he’s so ego driven that he won’t resign. Hell, I can’t imagine not resigning. How does he justify this behavior to his pregnant wife and unborn child. This guy has no pride or morals. He should be fired or impeached or what ever they do to these idiots…When I hear his name I can only think of a Weiner showing pictures of his Weener…World wide humiliation. Even the Taliban is laughing at him…Think about that! What is the attraction about that Congress job? Prestige, ego? Someone should ask his Mother and Father what they think about his behavior and if that is the way they brought him up? Hey, dumb ass. Who do you think you are?  Bill Clinton? It has to be self interest because he certainly doesn’t care about the people. On Dave the other night he was the “Butt” of all the jokes…Now, I heard there are new nude pictures! His colleagues should check how old the girls are that he sent his nude pictures to. They should also check his “Hard” drive for Porn…This guy is a pervert and he should be on some kind of pervert watch list. Like, “Warning”, don’t let this loser give any speeches in your school.

Comment…..The price of gas went up again and our wonderful President is still doing nothing about it. I don’t know too much about this story, I just caught the tail end of it on NPR but Yelling here>>>“Its not my job to know”. It seems there was a disagreement in the negotiations they are having about how much to rape the American people at the gas pump….I actually feel dirty when I buy gas. I hate giving those Bastards anything. I hate that this country allows them to hurt us like this.

Comment..….Doesn’t the television networks realize that there are too many commercials on in the morning. Morning Hell, all day….Boring and repetitive, geared to the weak minded, designed to have people max out their already maxed out credit cards and to take money from people who don’t have any money…Television is to the point of embarrassment themselves. Hey, greedy producers! Can you imagine how many people mute the TV? Personally, I mute the TV in the morning and I don’t watch TV at night. If you are so good with statistics you figure out why.

"The Twenty Sixth Amendment"

A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought it was interesting and because it isn’t just me that has been saying it for a very long time…


*The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones.
Of  the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven
(7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the  land...all because of public pressure.
*
*I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list;  in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one idea that really should be passed around. 
Congressional Reform Act of  2011
1.  No Tenure / No Pension. A  Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2..  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All  future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.  It may not be used for any other purpose.
*
*3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
*
*4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
*
*5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
*
*6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
*
*7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. ****The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.  Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.  Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The  Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

“Charley Reese's Final Column”

is is something I have been saying for a long time…Please read on… 

This is Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel....He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.  Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.  This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering! 
 
                              “545 vs. 300,000,000 People”    
                                    By Charlie Reese 
   
   Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?  Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? 
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does. 
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. 
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. 
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. 
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. 
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. 
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.  
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. 
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. 
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.  No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating  deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. 
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want.  If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. 
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal  government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. 
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. 
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. 
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in  Iraq and Afghanistan ... 
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. 
There are no insoluble government problems. 
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. 
Those 545 people, and they  alone, are responsible. 
They, and they alone, have the power. 
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. 
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... 
We should vote all of  them out of office and clean up their mess! 
Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando  Sentinel  Newspaper. 
What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you. 
This might be funny if it weren't so  true. 
Be sure to read all the way to the end: 
   Tax his land, 
   Tax his bed, 
   Tax the table, 
   At which he's fed. 
   Tax his tractor, 
   Tax his mule, 
   Teach him taxes 
   Are the rule. 
   Tax his work, 
   Tax his pay, 
   He works for 
   peanuts anyway! 
   Tax his cow, 
   Tax his goat, 
   Tax his pants, 
   Tax his coat. 
   Tax his ties, 
   Tax his shirt, 
   Tax his work, 
   Tax his dirt. 
   Tax his tobacco, 
   Tax his drink, 
   Tax him if he 
   Tries to think. 
   Tax his cigars, 
   Tax his beers, 
   If he cries 
   Tax his tears.. 
   Tax his car, 
   Tax his gas, 
   Find other ways 
   To tax his ass. 
   Tax all he has 
   Then let him know 
   That you won't be done 
   Till he has no dough. 
   When he screams and hollers; 
   Then tax him some more, 
   Tax him till 
   He's good and sore. 
   Then tax his coffin, 
   Tax his grave, 
   Tax the sod in 
   Which he's laid... 
   Put these words 
   Upon his tomb, 
   'Taxes drove me 
   to my doom...' 
   When he's gone, 
   Do not relax, 
   Its time to apply 
   The inheritance tax. 
   Accounts Receivable Tax 
   Building Permit Tax 
   CDL license Tax 
   Cigarette Tax 
   Corporate Income Tax 
   Dog License Tax 
   Excise Taxes 
   Federal Income Tax 
   Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) 
   Fishing License Tax 
   Food License Tax 
   Fuel Permit Tax 
   Gasoline Tax (currently 44.75 cents per gallon) 
   Gross Receipts Tax 
   Hunting License Tax 
   Inheritance Tax 
   Inventory Tax 
   IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) 
   Liquor Tax 
   Luxury Taxes 
   Marriage License Tax 
   Medicare Tax 
   Personal Property Tax 
   Property Tax 
   Real Estate Tax 
   Service Charge Tax 
   Social Security Tax 
   Road Usage Tax 
   Recreational Vehicle Tax 
   Sales Tax 
   School Tax 
   State Income Tax 
   State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) 
   Telephone Federal Excise Tax 
   Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Tax 
   Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Taxes 
   Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax 
   Telephone Recurring and Nonrecurring Charges Tax 
    Telephone    State   and Local Tax 
   Telephone Usage Charge Tax 
   Utility Taxes 
   Vehicle License Registration Tax 
   Vehicle Sales Tax 
   Watercraft Registration Tax 
   Well Permit Tax 
   Workers Compensation Tax 
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? 
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.  We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world. What in the heck happened?  Can you spell 'Politicians?' 
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!!  YOU can help it get there!!!

"You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”

The weather here yesterday was chilly, damp, rainy and unpredictable just like our Government. Our Governor is going around the State trying to convince people that his budget plan is the right way to go. He wants to raise taxes and cut programs…On the Federal side, the U.S. government will shut down on March 4th. Stay tuned for that. That means all federal employees except The President the Senators and Congress will be furloughed. It looks like they will have to get their own coffee in the morning. The Obama administration will somehow pay 35 Billion tax, or newly printed dollars ($35,000,000,000.00) to Boeing Aircraft. To me that’s astounding. They are going to built new refueling tanker planes. They are like new 707’s. Neat huh…Can you imagine the debt he will leave when he’s gone? And oh yes he will be gone. That’s like you and your wife just got laid off and you are behind on your car and house payments but you go out and charge on your charge card a house full of new furniture. Yes, its good for the workers but bad for the taxpayers. Its insane isn’t it? ….Someone on CNN yesterday said that Osama Ben Laden and Al Qaeda is responsible for the all the craziness in the Middle East. I said that 2 weeks ago...Why is everyone afraid to say that? Its got his finger prints all over it. Its about time these people catch up with reality….While all this is going on. Pakistan has a CIA agent in prison. From what I understand he shot and killed 2 guys who were trying to rob him. Good for him on that. Our Government said to release him because he has diplomatic immunity. They won’t…How much aid would I stop sending to that country? All of it, that’s how much. Its time to send in Black ops and get him out of jail...Just like in Robert Redford’s Movie “Spy Game” I seen a sign for gas yesterday. $ 3.55.9 cents a gallon…..OMG I’m going out of my mind…

“President For a Year”

Part 1
“President For a Year”
" A Fantasy but what if?
I was sitting at my computer the other day and this weird feeling came over me. It was like I was in a different place…First, it was like I blinked, Like a bright light came on and then went off. Then there was a blur. Startled, I looked out the window and I was in Washington D.C. “Larry, you are the President of the United States“…I turned around and there I was sitting alone behind this big desk in the Oval office. I knew it was the Oval office because I have seen many pictures of Presidents sitting there. I had this odd feeling like I was about to make a major decision. Then it came to me, like the dawn of the day…Mr. President what are you going to do to fix the country? I replied, “I afraid its going to take some tough decisions to get this nation back on its feet and bring the economy back to where it was“. Then all of a sudden I was standing in front of a group of people and I heard myself say. “I want all our troops and I mean everybody, the Army, the Marines, the Navy and the Air Force from wherever they are, brought home immediately starting now. I want all Federal contractors in all countries fired immediately“. Seal and secure the borders around America, Alaska and Hawaii and no one will be allowed to enter unless they are a citizen. Anyone caught with false papers or identification will be arrested for fraud with a minimum sentence of 30 years in prison. No exceptions, no parole. Anyone that is in the county who isn’t a citizen must learn to speak English and become a citizen in 30 days or they will be deported to where they came from. No exceptions. Order all foreign aid to all countries be stopped for 2 years. Order the FBI and all Federal Agencies to investigate all U.S. Senators and Congressmen for corruption whether they are suspected or not. Everyone must undergo a mandatory lie detector test. No exceptions. Under no circumstances can any lobbyist or anyone with a donation of any kind come in contact with any public servant or Government employee. If they do and they are caught they will be arrested for corruption and fraud. There will be no Federal aid to any State until Federal investigations of all Governors and all State Senators and Congressmen is complete which includes lie detector tests for everyone. The Penalty for a conviction of corruption will be 50 years with no parole. This sentence will be served in a real prison and not a resort prison. From this moment all Federal and State resort prisons will be closed. The prisoners that are there now will all be sent to a Maximum security prison. I feel there is no greater crime than to betray the public trust…From this moment on only court appointed attorneys will be allowed to defend someone for corruption cases. Tune in tomorrow for part 2.…..

"Step Up and Tell the Truth"

I don’t know, I am at a loss for words. I got a haircut yesterday and my barber who is a woman, a very nice one I might add, feels the same way I do about our elected officials. I didn’t bring it up either, she did. It was like she read my Blog. Lately its been like that. I hear on the street, what I wrote about month ago. Now I hear what I wrote about on TV, when its not muted. Its safe to say this is not a happy country…The Rangel thing I wrote about came to be. They should have sent him home and taken away his lifetime healthcare which you are paying for by the way. From what I heard, he was a hero in that North Korean Conflict I wrote about but he still betrayed the public trust and ruined his career. He is a classic case of denial. The Social Security issues I wrote about are happening. Our country is literally falling apart. No one is content or even remotely happy. Its like all the people are miserable. Its like we are waiting for the ax to fall. Greed is coming to light now. People on the street are talking about that. Now Congress is doing something about TV commercials. I wrote about that a long time ago. I feel weird writing about the crooks and sickos all the time. I can’t help it. Its how I feel. In the past, things happened, it was fixed then it was on to the next issue...Now this country is stagnant, polluted and out of control. Nothing is fixed. No one will make a decision on anything. There is too much poverty in the world. Too many people are coming to this country attaching themselves to us. WE cannot feed and clothe the world. We cannot help everybody. We are overburdened and overtaxed. The “Send us your tired and your poor” days are over. There is no more room and we are out of money and jobs. They wait to make these major decisions until the last second then they say it has to be done. Then blame each other and us. We end up paying the bill. I heard they want to raise the Federal gas tax…Will someone please tell them that gas is over $3 dollars a gallon now. Its all about denial, lies, excuses more lies. If those morons extend unemployment benefits again we are doomed. Who in Gods name is paying for all that? A few years ago if I ran out of unemployment benefits that was it. Boy, did I get a job fast. They are giving away the future of America. Someone has to step up and tell the truth about why all this is happening and have the guts do something about it. Its only get worse for everyone…I wrote about North Korea and I feel very uncomfortable about that.
