A BIT OF FOOLISHNESS. PRAYER AT THE PUMP

Nearer, My Gas, To Thee

Rocky Twyman has a radical solution for surging gasoline prices: prayer.

My response:

The first thought that came to mind was one of my mother's "motherisms".

"GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES". As a youth, I heard it many times.

 Wake up fools. God had nothing to do with the price of gas. This mess was created by the greed and stupidity of mankind, and only when we wake up and take positive action will the situation begin to stabilize.

Some advice for prayermiester Rocky Twyman. Follow my mother's advice and help yourself. Buy a hybrid. Install solar energy panels. Take public transportation. Drive your car less. And stop complaining to God. It ain't her fault!

I well remember when the Republicans were the party of fiscal conservatisim, and regularly excoriated the Democrats for "printing money". Well, day has turned to night and the former "conservatives" have become fiscal idiots, and we are slowly sinking into third world status as we are vastly overburdened by debt.

Bush and the pack of fools are "printing money", no doubt based on debt to China or Japan. Do they really believe that this money will not have to be paid back someday? And when that day comes, where will our economy be then?

These "patriots" are doing more to bring us down than our enemies. I guess they just aren't smart enough to realize it.

Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, et al. must be spinning in their graves.

Founding Fathers, I apologize for the acts of some of my fellow citizens. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

A CRUEL DISGRACE

VA stalling on care, judge told at S.F. trial Bob Egelko, Chronicle Staff Writer Tuesday, April 22, 2008 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2008/04/22/MNQK109AA7.DTL   ================================================ This is so evil and beneath contempt as to be nearly impossible to comment on   The draft dodgers Bush and Cheney have every benefit and luxury imaginable, and to hell with the real patriots, the veterans of the war they love so much. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- excerpt from the article:   "He also ruled that veterans are legally entitled to five years of government-provided health care                                                                                        after leaving the service, despite federal officials' argument that they are required to provide only                                                                                          as much care as the VA's budget allows in a given year." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My comment on this: According to the government lawyers, they only have to provide care that the budget allows. Cut the budget, cut the care. Take that argument far enough, and there will only be funds available to keep the bloodsuckers in their luxury offices while the sick veterans die in the streets.

Cafferty on CNN

Jack was ruminating on-air about the whys and wherefores of Osama bin Laden still being on the loose. Below is my email response to him.

 

 Jack

You wonder why bin Laden hasn't been caught. That is so easy, I wonder why you ask.

I believe that they intentionally let him escape when there was an opportunity to corner him in Afghanistan several years ago. What could be better to keep the war going than having your archenemy still on the loose and planning to launch another attack.

Worth billions upon billions in arms sales for friends of Bush.

War yesterday. War today. War tomorrow.

War without end.

 

AMEN

Dope-'n-Pope

 

Oh dear me, have I offended anyone?

 

I sure hope so.

Gasoline Tax "Holiday"

John McCain wants a "holiday" for the gasoline tax.

 

Gasoline taxes are needed to pay for transportation infrastructure maintenance, repair and replacement.

 

Think about that the next time you cross a bridge.

 

Or drive under one.
