THE COYOTE

California:

The  Governor of California  is jogging with his dog along a nature
Trail.

   A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the
Governor.

   1.  The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie
"Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only
Doing what is natural.

   2.  He calls  animal control .  Animal Control captures the coyote
And bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating
It.

   3.  He calls a veterinarian.  The vet collects the  dead dog and
Bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.

   4.  The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
For diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound
Bandaged.

   5.  The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game
Conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of
Dangerous animals.

   6.  The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a
"coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.

   7.  The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better
Treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout
The world.

   8.  The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the
Attack.  The State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with
Additional special training re:  the nature of coyotes.

   9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit
Against the State.

 

TEXAS :
   The Governor of   Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature
Trail.  A Coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

   1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued pistol and
Keeps  jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP  hollow point
Cartridge.

   2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, my friends, is why California is broke and   Texas is not.

Today we will celebrate the birth of George Washington. We were so fortunate to have such a brilliant and fine man lead us to our independence.

 

Yet sadly, today, as confirmed by many government reports, threats to this life and its liberties - and certainly to our pursuit of happiness - from America's enemies continue to grow exponentially, even though the average American is unaware of most of them. FamilySecurityMatters.org (FSM) brings readers not only the vital, and sometimes shocking, information contained within these reports, but the latest inside reporting from both experts and distinguished commentators on the subject of our national and family security. Because of this, our daily readership continues to grow as does our influence with key national security insiders.

 

FamilySecurityMatters.org wants to protect all the rights we have earned by ensuring there will be many more days of liberty and safety in our future, and in the future of our children and grandchildren. But we simply cannot do it alone.

Thanks for the info Ted

I have never understood how the government measure of inflation excludes both food and energy.  The cost of those hit every household, every person and is a significant part of everyones budget.  If you have gassed up your car, or gone grocery shopping over the last few years you know that inflation has been significant.  Yet Bernake says we have very little inflation.  He says we favor a strong dollar, yet he keeps printing and borrowing which directly weakens the dollar that is a different kind of inflation.   Interesting set of data follows.  Serious degradation occuring in many sectors.  vb

 

 

Two years ago today, Barack Obama was inaugurated as president of the United States .  Are you better off today than you were two years ago? Numbers don't lie, and here are the data on the impact he has had on the lives of Americans:

Just take this last item:  In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.  Over 27 times as fast!  Metaphorically, speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane 27 times faster . . . it would be doing 1,755 MPH!  This is a disaster!

A Father & Daughter Discussion

Thanks Ted for the forward. Consider this shared.

district50ablog.blogspot.com

Father and daughter A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very Liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in Favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other Words redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the Lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to Higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to Be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by Asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that She was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people She knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends, because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked , 'How is your friend Audrey doing?' She replied, ' Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are Easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She Is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.' Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.' The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, 'That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!' The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome to The Republican party.' If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between Republican and Democrat I'm all ears. If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!) If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he's "offended". Well, I forwarded it to you.
