Reasons I voted Democrat:

I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

Because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

Because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.

Because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

Because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every few days when someone cannot get their agendas past the voters.

Well on our way to socialism.

George Bush rolled over for the Demolishcrats - again. All these bailouts are like giving money to a crack addict - the problem is still there. Do they think this is going to fix things? Did we have $350 billion just lying around? No, you just went broke-r today, your kids just went into national bankruptcy, your grandkids will never know anything but vicious taxation. I've always tried to buy "AMERICAN" when I can, but from this day forward I will reconsider having another Big 3 auto in my driveway. I can buy metric, made in America by Americans that work for a reasonable wage and benefits just like I do. We just finished bailing out wallstreet for being greedy, now the auto industry for it's mistakes. If the government would step out and let the marketplace purge and restructure, we could come out of this with a healthy market. If it weren't for government restrictions and unions in the first place, the auto industries might not be in this shape. And here we go.............Congress just voted it's self a raise, Carrolton / Farmers Branch just gave their ousted DRUNK DRIVING leader $100,000 severance and ex NTX Chairman gets a years salary of over $200,000 severance unless he finds a new job in the meantime.
OH WELL! We're BROKE!

This will not end well...



Bought 60 shares of E-Trade for $1.18 a share. My purchases are probably higher risk but hey, that's how money is made.

I'm in!

The market that is. I have been waiting for the bottom so I could start investing. Of course it may not be there yet, but it's all a guess. I bought 33 shares of Ford for $2.64 per share. I'm betting there'll be some more fluctuating but it will go back up. I'm waiting for GE and some others to get lower for now. Wish me luck!

Ski season is almost here!

10 Exercises to get you prepared:

10. Visit your local butcher and pay $30 to sit in the walk-in freezer for a half an hour. Afterwards, burn two $50 dollar bills to warm up.

9. Fasten a small, wide rubber band around the top half of your head before you go to bed each night.

8. Find the nearest ice rink and walk across the ice 20 times in your ski boots carrying two pairs of skis, accessory bag and poles. Pretend you are looking for your car. Sporadically drop things.

7. Place a small but angular pebble in your shoes, line them with crushed ice, and then tighten a C-clamp around your toes.

6. Secure one of your ankles to a bed post and ask a friend to run into you at high speed.

5. Go to McDonald's and insist on paying $8.50 for a hamburger. Be sure you are in the longest line.

4. Drive slowly for five hours - anywhere - as long as it's in a snowstorm and you're following an 18 wheeler.

3. Dress up in as many clothes as you can and then proceed to take them off because you have to go to the bathroom.

2. Slam your thumb in a car door. Don't go see a doctor.

1. Repeat all of the above every Saturday and Sunday until it's time for the real thing!
