Slum Dog

I never thought in my lifetime that I would see my country turn into a beggar nation. For some reason the “Blame Bush crowd has taken it upon itself to punish us by outspending the Bush Administration. In order to show us who is boss, they have outspent W by four to one in two very short years. All they have to show for it are two  car companies, several unions, a defunct medical industry, a ruined housing industry, a crippled banking industry, nine and a half percent unemployment, and a seriously divided country. What a bargain. Aren’t we glad that we got all this hope and change?

Post Turtle

 

I just couldn’t resist this. A freind of mine sent me this anecdote by e-mail. I know it’s been around a few times, but I laugh at it every time I get it.

While cutting the hair of a 75 year old rancher, the barber struck up a
conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his
elected status to be our president.

The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘Post Turtle”.

Not being familiar with the term, the barber asked him what a ‘post
turtle’ was.

The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you
come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post
turtle’.

The old rancher continued to explain. ‘You know he didn’t get up there
by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, and he doesn’t know what to do
while he’s up there! You just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there
to begin with’.
