Wow, am I glad,

that pesky recession is finally officially over, as of June, '09. I was kinda worried that it was gonna be serious, but obviously we dodged a major bullet. Seems the Bush crowd didn't really wreck the economy with $147//bbl oil, 'oops, bad info' war, financial rule changes to allow 'liar loans' to whoever wanted them, and basically pissing off the whole world with their 'torture is OK, but only if nothing wlse works' mentality. Whew, was pretty close there, for awhile, when it looked like unemployment was gonna be a problem, with more people walking away from their mortgages every month when they found themselves under water and sinking deeper. Maybe the Fed should lower the interest rate? Never mind, Bush already shot all the bullets out of that gun and it's officially at zero. The real news? Now we can officially enter 'double dip' territory in the near future. WWII officially got us out of 'The Great Depression #1', but I don't see any such good news on the horizon for this one.

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...
