It is time!

The time has come to throw out the bums in Washington - I mean the whole bunch - it is time to get rid of the Democrats... and the Republicans. They are just the two heads of the same serpent. It is time...

Yes, I admit that I voted for John McCain. I voted for McCain, not because I believed that he had an enlightened view of where to take the country; I thought he would take us down the same wrong road but at a little slower pace. I am tired of voting against the worst of the two candidates. It is time...

I am asking those of you who believe in Main Street and not Wall Street to come forward. I am tired of the greedy tycoons and crooks who buy the political power to put gold in their own pockets. I am tired of hearing "too big to fail". Look close and you will see the Wall Street crowd sleeping in the same beds as the Washington politicians.
They are scratching each others backs while they are emptying our pockets. Let's invest in our own communities instead of trusting the Madoff's of the world.

I am looking for good men and women who value the spirit of entrepreneurism and sees a future for the Mom and Pop businesses and not Walmarts. I will pay a fair price for my goods and so will my neighbors if we all have the opportunity to work hard and own our own businesses rather than be stuck in low paying jobs as stockers, greeters and clerks where we can only afford to buy from the company store.

I want someone that believes in the family farm, not giant agribusiness. I do not want to be at the mercy of the few to provide the food for my table. I believe that being over the barrel for our oil is tough enough, I don't want to be begging the big boys or the foreign governments for my food.

It is time to listen to people like Gerald Celente. Look him up - what he has to say may frighten you but he is warning us. Time for this frog to get out of the pot - the water is getting way too hot. Don't wait too long. Let's find new leadership. Are you willing?

It is time...

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditures nineteen pounds and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.

The New English Language

The English language has always been an evolving language, adopting new words from other languages, adding new words once only used as slang, adapting new meanings to old words. But recently there has been a discernible acceleration in the change of the English language. In order to improve the understanding of the New English Language, this site will be presenting select words and their meaning as a public service.

Today's word: Investment

investment (archaic meaning: to put money to use by purchase or expenditure in something offering potential profitable returns , as interest income or appreciation in value)

New English: the spending of monies by the government it does not have on indeterminate programs instituted by the passing of unread legislation, resulting in the rapid growth of the national debt.

It's been 32 years since Andy, my beautiful friend died and I still miss him. I found a picture of his younger brother on the net and so I have some sense of what he would have looked like had he lived beyond his short 24 years. He always told me he thought he would die young but I presumed that those were just the words of a young adventurous man who cannot feature himself as an old man. Despite having been a state championship wrestler, he was the gentlest man I have ever known. He had a gentle spirit - perhaps too gentle for this unforgiving world. He loved his family, he loved the Navajo ways of his ancestors, he loved his friends, and yes, he loved me.

Andy remains alive in my memory. He remains alive in my heart. And sometimes it seems like I can feel him there in the quiet solitude of dawn or as a whisper of wind at night, forever in my mind, forever in my heart.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson
