Toad's right...  One reason we have such a huge deficit is that Pres Bush very rarely uses his veto power.  Yea they fight over it in congress, but he generally signs everything that makes it out of Congress unless it pushes one of his hot-issue buttons such as national security and homeland defense (look up the items he's vetoed, and why...  It's pretty consistent.)  That's a great way to end up with a deficit that will end up being blamed on the President, not the 13% approval rating yahoos in Congress who sent him budgets that grossly overspend fed income.

Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Agree on the new computer, also on the IT person if by "IT person" you mean my wife.

I think it's getting too many hits.

Google for Charles Martin Palin Rumors

You'll get there eventually.  ;)

The direct link does not work for me using MSIE and Chrome, but going to the site and then scrolling down works fine.

While you worry about Socialism.. This country has already been taken over by big business and corruption. Socialism, Communism is just a catchy phrase to keep the peasants in line. This country has been sold to big business years ago in a sort of Military Industrial complex but more so Big Business verses Military.

Watch Eisenhower's farewell speech and then think of this country's current state

Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pWAGgLSCSQ
Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oACur8v1188

Big business & special interest own this country along with foreign investors. Our govt stopped working for the people a long time ago my friend. Ask your self what the last bill this govt passed that does anything for the average Joe. Anything our govt does benefits a large cooperation or a special interest group the US citizen is a after thought.

Eisenhower was almost right in his fears, but it was Big Business as a whole that took over this country not just the military contractors.
You're so diddlyen biased it ain't funny.  Keep drinking the koolaid..  I saw that speech about 10 years ago, no news to me. I've been around more than you and I have the right perspective..  What have you got, except insider bias? None of anything you've ever said has been a good excuse for voting for the crooks fastest running away from proper small govt etc. 

The surest thing is that given a chance at a political career, you'd end up right there next to Obama, in a nice suit, spewing the same crooked rhetoric as every other party hack.  "Socialism is just a catchy phrase"  :rofl  What sheltered life have you been living??  Come get your hands dirty 24/7 in third world countries and socialist paradise like France, I'll show you what you missed while you pampered in the USA's comforts.

Like most folks that have adopted this country as their own, he's a better informed & educated American than you are.

They're not my crooks crockett.. But yes they are better than "yours".  And the hostility?  Like I said, come see and live what I've seen and lived and you'll know there can be no compromise on these matters.  None, ever.  Socialism is poison for human Happiness.  There can be no compromise.  Nothing can come ahead of the strive for being the best you can be, of people being all they can be... Not just sitting on their bellybutton and letting the status quo current carry them from birth to grave.  That means individualism (I could argue this but that's the short of it).  That means no masking welfare bloated social programs, none of that poop.

And not living in the US yet.. I've spent 6 years there, the best in my whole life.  My whole family is over there, either born american or naturalized.  I've studied american history and government literaly, I've lived and traveled the country quite a bit, seeing the country for what it really is, not just some shallow touring. I have friends in more than a dozen labs, friends in academia and friends living in the countryside in the middle of nowhere.. I have an adoptive grandfather that's a VN and Korea vet.. I know what I'm talking about.
Like it or not I'm coming over there and God help me, I'll do what seems right (I'm already voting by proxy.. My step brother is also my godson.).. Laugh it up if you think it's funny.  I think it's going to be Good, with a capital G.
