FOX and the Pubs,

(one and the same), are bitching about 'unthinkable' cut to vet's benefits. The same crowd who won't allow the 'Oil Depletion Allowance' to be tampered with and fights for ag subsidies for multi-millionaire corporate farmers, scream 'Don't Touch' for the vets who can retire after 20 years in the military (38 yrs old?) and then go on to get another govt job so they can retire in their early 50's with double govt paid bennnies. Unless you have worked hurricane damage all over Florida for many years like I have, you probably haven't seen the lifestyle these guys live. The typical retiree lives in a gated, golf course community, often right on the water, with a new truck, car and boat, parked beside a beautiful house, filled with expensive furniture, with PX priveleges and fantastic medical benefits. The size and quality of the homestead and toys depends on rank. Now, I'm not saying vets don't deserve to be compensated for their service, BUT, it is totally out of control how much is spent for this 'life of luxury' while the Pubs scream about balancing the budget and cutting social programs. Just sayin', if you haven't seen it, you wouldn't believe it...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
