Cleaning Up the Poop...
BIRDFEEDERS
I bought a *bird feeder**. I hung*
it on my back porch and filled
it with seed. What a beauty of
a bird feeder it is, as I filled it
lovingly with seed. Within a
week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table ...
everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own
pocket.
And others birds were
boisterous and loud.. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
and demanded that I fill it
when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn't even
sit on my own back porch
anymore. So I took down the
bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone.. I cleaned
up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
it used to be.... quiet, serene
and no one demanding their
rights to a free meal.
Now let's see.
Our government gives out
free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care, and free
education and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
citizen.
Then the illegals came by the
tens of thousands. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for
free services; small apartments
are housing 5 families; you
have to wait 6 hours to be seen
by an emergency room doctor;
your child's 2nd grade class is
behind other schools because
over half the class doesn't speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in a
bilingual box; I have to
'press one' to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and
people waving flags other
than 'Old Glory' are
squawking and screaming
in the streets, demanding
more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe
it's time for the government
to take down the bird feeder.
If you agree, pass it on; if not,
continue cleaning up the poop!

More Conditions of the Big3 Bailout
1) They must use some of the 25 B to bring back the EV-1
Electric Vehicle, and
2) They must create new electric vehicles.
3) They must improve hybrid technology to compete successfuly
with Toyota and Honda.
4) They must streamline production to compete overall with
foreign car companies.
If they don't do all of the above, the 25B bailout will be a
waste of taxpayer money.

I'm a Republican and not Proud of it!
I dig around, don't start no wars, don't come from an oil state
with geothermal on my ranch, but I'd be ashamed if I did as much as
President Bush. Get your head out and your butt in gear! Don't just
give the next guy pointers. Pres you could still help the people,
who in turn could bail out the big three and the banks. Loan us
money at low interest so we can pay for our homes that are not
worth what we paid for them. All other Presidents worked hard
towards the end of their terms, some just to pardon people, but
somthing is better than nothing!
The Brown Cloud over Phoenix
The Arizona Republic reported early this week that there was a
brown cloud hanging over Phoenix. I had to see it for myself. I
hiked the trail at the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, approximately 9
miles north of Down town Phoenix. I can't say that the cloud was
brown, but it certainly wasn't pretty.
This is the original Arizona Republic Report:

Big Three Bail Out Simply Put
No Jobs. No Money. No Loans. No New Cars.
Sad but true, any money the government might give the Big
Three,it isn't going to change one thing! Washington,stop the
insanity!!!!
If the American people can keep the house they are living in
and the car they already have, they will be doing good.
Where does it end?
While I believe that we need an auto industry in the U.S. I
am perplexed at why the Auto Executives that flew in to tesify
arrived in such an extravagant fashion. They want to be bailed out
yet they spend thousands of dollars on the flight when they could
have easily flown coach on any domestic airline for a much cheaper
price.
Speaking of which, if I were the airline industry at the
moment, I would be incredibly pissed. We saw practically every
major U.S. carrier file for bankruptcy, restructure, renegotiate
with unions, cut costs and they were able to make themselves
profitable and self sufficient again. Why can't the auto industry
do the same thing? And why are they asking for the bailout now?
Just because they see money being handed out to financial
institutions?
I realize that we could move from a recession (and yes we are
in one regardless of the fact that our government does not want to
say the word) to a depression if the auto industry collapses and I
understand that many people will be out of work but at what point
do we stop bailing out every business or industry? I own a small
business myself and have received NO new tax credits, NO bailout
money to help my business thrive and I am feeling the pain as much
as anyone else is with the challenging economy.
What is the U.S. doing to help the average American living
pay check to pay check or even worse those that are currently
unemployed? The economic stimulus package did nothing to help any
of us. Practically everyone I know used the money to pay down their
already outstanding debt and did not use it to invest it into new
purchases.
I really feel for the auto industry employees but while your
companies continued to build gas guzzling cars and have done very
little in the big scheme of things to build "greener" and more
efficient cars, everyone was happy to take home big paychecks and
big bonuses. Perhaps the auto executives could give back their
bonuses from the last 5 years as a show of good faith about how
serious they are about wanting the industry to survive. I like to
see people"lead by example" so here's your chance auto executives
receiving ridiculous amounts of money as bonuses each year.
I say NO to bailing out the auto industry. You created this
mess and you are responsible for fixing it just as I am responsible
and accountable for the business decisions I make!
