The economy...
I get a kick out of the media and my "Liberal" friends when they talk about the improved economy under obama.
7.5% unemployment. It isn't because of a bunch of new jobs, people. It's because the 99 weeks of unemployment has run out and the unemployed aren't counted as unemployed any longer.
Housing values are climbing again. I guess that's OK if you're selling. Not so much if you're trying to buy. Housing is a basic necessity, kinda like food and water. When the price of housing goes up less people are able to afford housing. A higher valued home means higher property taxes for the homeowner. That means less money in the pocket to buy the other things that keep the economy rolling. Besides, it was an artificially inflated housing market that started this mess in the first place. Remember?
Have you bought gas or groceries lately? How can the economy be better if you're paying almost $4 for a gallon of milk, $5 for a pound of hamburger, and $4 or more for a gallon of gas? A loaf of store brand bread is nearly $3... I came home from Utah on the 3rd of May and gas was $3.29 a gallon here. Today it is $3.96. I was in St. Cloud, Minnesota yesterday. Gas is $4.10 a gallon up there.
It seems to me that this wonderfully improved economy is making many middle class people into the new poor and is making the poor become destitute. Well, that's not entirely true... The "poor" can usually get on some sort of program to get government assistance.
You have to ask yourself if you are better off now than you were a year ago? 2 years? 5?
Do you have increased buying power? Are you better able to purchase all of the things you need and more of the things you want? Are you able to save part of your income for the future?
Wages are stagnant, costs are increasing, businesses aren't hiring and the economy is "improving"?
How are your healthcare premiums doing? Going up, you say? You ain't seen nothing yet.
Do I dare ask... are our government and the media pumping people's heads full of shit?
Anyway...
Stay safe.

Priorities...
The Marine Corps Manual, the guidebook that defines protocol for officers and enlisted Marines, in section 2806 paragraph 2, specifically states “The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, published by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, shall be binding on all Marines. No officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.”
Items not expressly delineated as authorized components of the Marine Corps uniform are prohibited. Male Marines are informed never to carry an umbrella from the earliest phases of training.

Impeachment...
" Remember when Ms Palin said she can see Russia from her backyard? Yeah, me neither. That was said by Tina Fey doing a Sarah Palin parody on SNL. SNL is where a lot of liberals get their news from."

Minnesota Gay Marriage...
"Minneapolis lit up the I-35W bridge after same sex marriage was officially signed into law this week"
Seriously? I wonder if they used taxpayer funds to do this?
Stay safe.
The Jewish Quarterback...
From Miss V. :)
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago Bears. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.
Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in the West Bank . In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.
KABOOM!
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.
BULLS-EYE!
"I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl.
The young man is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.
"Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
"I don't want to talk to you, the old woman says."You are not my son!"
"I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans."
"No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,
"I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago !!!!
