Am watching 60 Minutes,

that I DVR'd, and can see that I am not the only one who is concerned about our financial future, as nearly all the states, like the Fed gov't, are about to go broke.  Like a slow motion train wreck, as their outgo WAY exceeds their income.  It IS gonna happen, and the only question is, how soon, and how are they gonna cope? One year? Two years? The fed gov't has bailed out the states, with printed money, but even that is gonna end, SOON, and then we all gotta face reality. Will be VERY interesting, as gov'ts have to face financial reality, after the Bush administration wrecked our economy.

I have read that most governments last around 200 years before falling and ours is about that old at this point, so I am not at all surprised.
We have become a nation of, to be blunt, whores. Our government has prostituted itself for years in the form of NAFTA, Deregulation, Homeland Security, OPEC, Guantanamo, Iraq, Bay of Pigs,...the list is endless.
Todate, we are a laughing stock to our neighbors around the world and are trusted by not even Isreal.
Does the average citizen have respect for Congress or the President? I think not.
This country is broke, financially and spiritually. I doubt it can be fixed.

So you people think Bush wrecked the country just because he was the president when everything crashed?

"You people" eh? History must not be your forte. OPEC's existence began in the 1960s. I don't believe Bush had anything to do with that, possibly his father, but not Dubya. NAFTA was under the Clinton administration; Deregulation under Reagan; Bay of Pigs, Kennedy; Iraq, the first Bush, as Saddam marched to Kuwait and then sonny boy retaliated because Pappa Bush was threatened by the thief of Bagdad. Guantanamo, Homeland Security can rest on Dubya's shoulders. See there's enough blame for the downfall of American government to go around, Anon. Now, ain't cha proud to wave the old red, white and blue? Nero fiddled while Rome burned. We just sit on our collective asses and reelect 'em.

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...
