Believe it or not,

I read two articles about W in the paper this morning that I actually agree with. As you may know if you have read my rants before, I am not George's biggest fan. However, in an effort to change the subject, or maybe just the law of averages catching up with him, he spoke on two subjects I agree with. The first was the over-compensation of CEO's. I don't know if there's anything HE can do about it, but it's a good point. The second was his problem with gov't subsidies to "farmers" who are milking the system. Over 80,000 people, with an income over $200,000 get gov't checks. They get paid for NOT growing something, or get subsidies for growing things we already have too much of. The lobbyists are gonna scream, but it's time to let the free enterprise system control the marketplace. Not that I'm becoming a fan, but in the interest of being "fair and balanced" (what a joke when used by Fox News) I will say I do agree with him on something. We'll see if he can actually DO anything about these issues before I give him any real credit. Would hope so, but I doubt it....

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...

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...
