It's gonna get interesting. Arizona's immigration law is now on hold. A federal judge has ruled that at least parts of the law are unconstitutional. I believe that both parties are correct to a degree. The Feds are saying that under a constitutional term known as Pre-emption they have the right to handle immigration on a federal level. The feds say that individual state laws will lead to a patchwork system and disrupt a carefully balanced approach to immigration. On the surface of this argument they are correct. I will refrain from commenting on their "carefully balanced system" at this point. Arizona, on the other hand , has over 400,000 undocumented residents and a huge problem with drugs coming into our country through their boarder. They contend that the federal program isn't working.. You get to decide on your opinion. Here's mine. Lets say someone or a number of someones where threatening my home and or family. The people who are suppose to protect us are the local police and I'm sure they do a very good job. Bottom line is by the time the police got here all that would be left to do is zip the baggies shut. Sometimes the need out ways the politics...
The House Ethics Committee (oxymoron) accused N.Y. Rep. Charles Rangel of 13 violations of congressional ethics standards. Appears that the big one is neglecting to report rental income from his Dominican Republic villa for the last 8 years . The number I heard was in excess of $ 600,000.00. This guy has been in congress for 40 years. That's right 40 years and only 13 charges, WTF. If it were you or I the IRS would have us in jail by now. Oh I forgot to tell you Rangel stepped down in march from the House Ways and Means Chairmanship due to an "unrelated" ethics case.. Maybe He should retire.
Locally we have four guys running on the republican side for the open House of Representative seat. I like Tom Stillings. He is pro-life, pro-gun, pro-business,pro-America, and wants to bring all our troopers home. I agree with all of that and since its my blog I get to express it. If you care to comment please feel free. I believe I made it easier to leave a comment.

I Think Thear ly'in to us
So everything i hear from our President seems to indicate he wants us to believe that thee economy is improving. I don't know about you but i don't think so. The Federal government is spending our money at an alarming rate. They are adding $ 1 Trillion to the deficit every 9 months. Its our money, we have to pay it back, sorry my share will be late this month, I'm broke. A trillion is a really big number and hard for me to get my head around. This might help. If a 65 year old man spent a trillion dollars on an annuity he would receive $ 6.3 BILLION every MONTH for the rest of his life...The above stats came from Kiplinger. The National League of Cities just released a study which indicates that local governments across the country will fire approximately 500,000 people in the coming 12 months and this will include police and fire.. I guess they agree with me.... the economy sucks....
OK on the lighter side here's some more new statistics...
Doctors.... the number of doctors in the United States is approximately 700,000...
............accidental deaths per year by doctors is 120,000
............that gives us a rate per doctor of 0.171
statistics courtesy of US dept of Health and Human Services.
Now consider this.
.............. The number of gun owners in the United States is 80 million ...
.............. The number of accidental deaths per year , all ages is 1500...
.............. Than the number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188
statistics courtesy of the FBI
So statistically speaking doctors are approximately 9000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember guns don't kill people doctors do.
Fact. Not everyone has a gun but almost everyone has at least one doctor. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor than a gun owner. Please alert your friends to thus alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand. Out of concern for the general public i withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention........don't panic, buy ammo

The lighter side
My oldest daughter, the one who just had our beautiful new grand daughter, has taken to posting one liner facts on her facebook page. Every day. You know the type, the kind of stuff you read and think , oh good more mental clutter. I have a tendency to remember most everything i read and usually that's a very good thing however this stuff is sort of like hair balls in your sink, it just backs it up. So in deference to my lovely daughter's inspiration here are 10 little known facts of life.
1. There's too much youth... how about a fountain of smart
2. The gene pool could use a little chlorine
3. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in school
4. Forget about world peace.. visualise using your turn signal
5. Dogs never need to "examine" the relationship
6. We are born naked, wet, and hungry.. then things get worse
7. Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice dogie" until you can find a rock
8. Puritanism.. the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy
9. Jesus loves you its everyone else that thinks your an asshole
and number 10
A cat almost always blinks when you hit it in the head with a ball peen hammer
Have a nice day....

SUP
The title of today's blog is multi-purposed. One because there is a variety of topics and two for my buddy Francis back in the commonwealth. SUP Francis. Michael Jordan says he wouldn't of done the deal Labron made even if Larry and Magic where amiable to the package. Jordan says He preferred playing against the best as opposed to with them. I guess six rings determines who has the bigger set. I wanna be like Mike.... My old buddy Wild Bill Clinton has made a "bucket list", who cares.... Do you remember Alvin Greene? I posted about Him a couple of months ago. He is the guy from South Carolina who won the Democratic nomination for senate over an incumbent. Well Alvin made his first campaign speech the other day. It lasted 6 & 1/2 min. in front of about 400 people. The press reports that he was well received and spoke well. I love this.. Go Alvin Go......The Chinese are having an oil crisis, not the fuel oil type but the cooking oil type. It seems the street people are collecting the old cooking oil and garbage in it and recycling it. They filter it to feed the solids to the pigs and resell the oil to the restaurants. Lots of sightings of people on bicycles grabbing oil at the back door, cat sightings ,however, are still down....
The Tea Party seems to be in the news more and more. There current stated purpose is to generate interest in the mid term elections. I agree, the primary;s this summer and the elections this fall could be among the most important in our countries history. Our elected officials do not seem to be listening to the people, which is their main function. Its time to send a message by changing over as many incumbents as possible. Its time for WE the People to run our country. The government is running our country into the ground. The economy is a disaster, the trade deficit is completely upside down, and the national debt is out of control. If we do not recover our government with these elections i fear the next agenda will be extremely difficult on everyone.

Wow All Kinds of Stuff
Hey there everyone... lots of stuff today..The British Open is underway and the friend of every duffer in the world is high on the leader board. John Daly, you remember John, the proponent of non-performance enhancing drugs, was in second place 1 shot off the lead after the first round. Coke and cigarettes on the course.. gotta love him.. I wonder where he got those pants... I'd love a pair...Hit another 300 yard er John. Hassan Nemazee, stole $ 292 MILLION and just was sentenced to 12 years. Federal guidelines call for 20 years. WTF Oh yeah, i forgot , it's who you know. It seems as though Hassan was the National Finance Chairman for Hilary's 08 campaign. He also raised money for Wild Bill, Al Gore, John Kerry, and oh yeah, Obama. Think he'll serve the full 12 ??? Me neither. Yooper News..... Murder Seth Privacky was shot and killed yesterday while trying to escape from a yooper prison.. Koodo's to the correction officer who got him. Saved me some tax dollars. Seth was convicted of killing his parents, grandfather, brother, and brother's girlfriend. Ther's a lot to be said for deer camp training.. go yoopers....The "Bank Bill" was passed by the Senate yesterday. Not sure why it's called the bank bill, it seems to have more to do with controlling wall street than banks. It is difficult to tell however since the bill is 23 HUNDRED pages long. What I've seen says it gives alot more power to the federal government. I'm shocked. New agencies, more regulations, more oversight committees, power to break up "teetering" companies. This remember was one of Obama's prise pieces of legislation. I wonder what else is in all those pages ?? You think anyone has a special interest or 20 . 2300 pages, you know Webster's New World Dictionary, 3rd college edition is only 1557 pages. That would be every word in the language, it's pronunciation, and multiple meanings. The NIV Study Bible is 1950 pages. That's only everything God had to say. Once again Congress steps up and declares they are smarter than Webster and more important than God. Am i out of line here ?? I didn't think so either. One more thing, Charles Nenner has said He believes that the Dow is headed down to 5000 and that the economy won't recover until 2020. I'd keep an eye on that Mr. Nenner has proven to be a pretty smart guy. Thats it .... headed back to Camp Bubba... I can here those martini's calling my name... bubba drink me...

Not Lazy, Relaxing at Camp Bubba
Yeah I know it's been awhile. We were at Camp Bubba for about a week and part of the beauty is no Internet. I wasn't going to come back yet but we ran out of beer. What a catastrophe. So here we go. Our President was overseas instead of home attempting to fix our economy and while in Europe APOLOGIZED for Americans being arrogant. WTF. Are you aware that there are over 104,000 American troops BURIED IN Europe from the two world wars. I guess saving their collective asses is arrogant. I wonder how many French, Dutch, English, or other Europeans or Middle Eastern are buried here who died defending this country. I don't know but I'm betting it's a pretty small number. Come on Mr President , please remove your head from your ass and get busy here at home. According to the latest Washington Post poll 60% of Americans say they "lack faith " in Obama. I'm shocked. In other news FICO reports that 30% of all consumers have credit scores that make them a poor risk. This means it's unlikely they can get a loan for a major purchase, like a car or house. This is a worm hole. When people cant borrow it dramatically impacts our economy in a negative fashion. A poor credit score = less credit = less production = less jobs= poorer credit scores. Fico also stated that the amount of people with poor scores will continue to rise. Of course the credit score people want you to spend some of your credit card balance on purchasing their service to find out what your score is. Did you know that every time your score is accessed it has a negative effect on your rating. So like i said it's a worm hole.People no longer lend to people computers do. Computers adjust your score and your score determines your lend ability. Just one more major problem with our economy. Ronald Regan said " Freedom is never more that one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was like in the United States when men where free. " Are you ready to fight for freedom ? There are elections in November, we need to toss All of them out. Be A Boy Scout be PREPARED.

Who's in Charge Here
Watching the news is getting more depressing than ever. Our country is racing down hill toward a cliff and when we go over it will be a very hard fall. Last week Obama met with the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, and they agreed to expand cooperation on intelligence and to strength economic ties. The Russians are in worse shape than us. So i guess this means we tell them our secrets and give them money. When asked about our involvement in Afghanistan the Russian replied "Your screwed". Now Obama is about to talk to us about immigration reform. This should be good, He already says He doesn't like the new Arizona law and wants to give the illegals a chance at amnesty.Did you know that other boarder States are looking to enact their own laws similar to Arizona's. The federal government isn't paying attention to the people. they have done nothing about illegals. Now Nancy Pelousie wants a law that taxes your gains in the stock market again, including your retirement accounts at the modest rate of 55% and proposes to give that money to the poor illegals. According to Websters the definition of a republic is, " a government in which SUPREME POWER resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law". Dose that sound like what is happening in Washington to you ? No me neither. We must make wholesale changes. That means voting those people who don't listen out of office.Our representatives are not being responsible and in some cases not acting according to law. We need to take our country back before we go over that cliff. I said this before but it bears repeating. " A people should not fear their government, a government should fear its people".
