politics

I am so sick of the current state of affairs in politics in America, I could just puke.

The whole health care mess is well,,, a mess.

We do not need health care reform, we need how to pay for health care reform. Granted a tough row to hoe, but what Obama wants, is crap.

In fact, in my opinion, everything Obama wants is crap.

You cannot please all of the people all of the time, and not all of the people even want to be pleased.

And as far as Nancy Pelosi goes, that bitch can kiss my ass. She needs to get her nose out of our military, she has no clue what the military is about or what they do, or why they do it. She is so rich and so stuck up on her high horse, if we had a terrorist attack, that disturbed her little world, she wouldn't live a week.

I do not understand the whole health care reform stuff, tax people for having a great plan, and then, tax people who can't afford any insurance at all! Hello! If you can't afford any health insurance, you sure as hell don't need to be taxed for that, you're already fucking broke.

And Nancy Pelosi's value added tax. Give me a break. If the IRS thought they were busy before, the average American citizen, will go back to bartering, cash, growing a garden, raisning a few chickens, a cow or 2, a couple of goats and hogs, a few turkey, and so on and we just won't report what we're doing.

Those of us who have the means will also put in a wood stove, if we don't already have one, we'll chop our wood and screw the heating oil and gas companies, we'll take advantage of our government green programs and install wind and solar power, or we'll simply do it on our own and the government, can kiss off.

I know that our politicians run around trying to please what they think are the biggest groups, that have the most voting power, that will keep them in their cushy political office jobs.

What these politicians have not considered, is the rest of us, who have the good ole American, indepenent, entreprenurial spirit, to go it on our own.

I for one do not need a politician, to make my life happy or comfy!

Wife swap

So I'm sitting at home on a Friday night with a cold six pack and the remote, so I"m watching wife swap.

Dear God, deliver me from anal retentive, compulsive clean freak women!

I've watched Wife Swap a lot and it is very interesting how one culture of family can learn from another. The show has never offended me until tonight. One woman who is one of those folks who scrubs her GRANITE counter tops 3 times a day, just called the drag racing family "white trash" and "low class"!

OMG!

We don't all come from the same world. I am not a clean freak, but I do like a clean house. Not polished, just clean and reasonably organized.

And I did teach my kids manners and how to be polite. My kids had chores, and had to contribute to the family. But I also allowed my children to make choices about interests they wanted to pursue.

I have a very diverse family. My aunt Linda Lussetto is super stocker tractor puller. Aunt Linda and her husband recently retired and do nothing but raise horses, pugs and go tractor pulling. Her husband, Pete, takes care of the mechanic work, Linda drives the tractor, fire suit and all, and she is damn good at it and I'm proud of her.

Check out this link of Aunt Linda and Ole Bitty.


Don't get me wrong! I have a cousin who is also a very successful lawyer in Denver, Co. and I admire her too. But how many, over educated, holier than thou, I am an independent women, who think highly of them selves would don that fireproof suit and take on that tractor and all that power and go balls to the wall with it? And aunt Linda is 60 and still spewing fire and brimstone and putting it all on the line in the name of speed, power and fun!

There are 2 women in this world that I admire, and neither one is famous.

One is my sister Kellee, who has made her way and become successful in spite of everything against her, and aunt Linda, because she is so unconventional, and totally does everything against all odds and rules.
Women NASCAR drivers do not have anything on my aunt Linda. She's been into power and speed before those broads were ever born.

Redneck Revue

This is Redneck Revue. While we love to drink beer and play redneck horseshoes, we still have conservative political views and we express them here.

So, I here that in Feb. 650,000 people lost their jobs. Now, I am not going to argue that, that is not a good thing. But, think about it. How many of those people are over paid and over compensated union workers? How many of those people had jobs where they did not really do anything?

And as far as Obama and his screeching we have an economic crisis, Kiss my big ole redneck ass. We do not have an economic crisis. We have an assload of people who bought houses they could not afford, with shady, shaky loans from crooked mortgage brokers.

I really think we should let the whole shebang go broke. No more bail out, no more money from the government. The money does not come from the government, it comes from the taxpayers.

As a middle class, (aka $40,000/yr) family income, I do not want to bail out anybody. My husband and I are in the position of being one of those middle class families that does not qualify for shit. Except more taxes. We are current on our house payments. We pay that before we pay anything else.

We may end up having to give up our satellite tv, and diet pepsi and mountain dew and Friday night happy hour. But I will always make our house payment.

We have no credit card debt, and no car payment. Our only payment is our house payment. Yes, our vehicles are old and have an assload of miles on them and they have dents, and they look like shit, but they are paid for, cheap to insure and liscense and they get us from point A to point B, which is the whole purpose of a vehicle.

Right now, our washing machine took a crap. As much as I would like to have a new one, we don't have the cash, so I've been going to the laundry mat to wash clothes and I bring them home and dry them. It will be at least 6 months before I can afford the cash for a used or new washer, so in the mean time I will bite the bullet and go to the laundry mat. It just is the way it is.

The whole point is, suck it up America! Do the right thing, if you don't have cash, don't buy it. Tell Obama to take is spend, spend, spend, policies and stick them up his ass. YOU CANNOT SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT!

Obama's stimulus package, H.R.1

So, Obama signed his stimulus package bill today in Colorado. H.R.1, aka, Barak Obama's economic stimulus bill, in my opinion is the greatest con ever pulled off in the history of civilization as we know it .

News reports would have us believe that if this bill wasn't passed it would be doom and gloom the world over for years. Obama preached that we needed this bill to create jobs, get money into the hands of banks so they could loan it out, save GM, Chrysler, Ford, Citibank and on and on. And then he tells us it will be 18 months before we see any benefit to the economy from his plan.

I still think that President Bush should have never pushed the first bail out. They should have let the dumb shits burn in the fire they started.

Even without the stimulus plan in 18 months the economy most likely would have started to turn around on it's own anyway.

If they really wanted to spend an ass load of money they could have just sent all of us a check, no strings attached and let us do it by paying bills, paying down debt, buying consumer goods and investing.

One good thing about the state of the economy, people are now saving more, and more importantly, spending more time at home with family and friends and seeing the importance of good old fashioned values.

You know, stuff like spending the afternoon with your family and neighbors, bbq some hot dogs, drink some beers and play redneck horseshoes.

Bail out/stimulus/obama/bush

I am so sick of the bail out, save jobs, save the country, lets spend an assload of money no one has, BULLSHIT!, that is coming down the pike from our politicians that I could literally commit alcohol abuse and throw up my beer.

For the love of God, (yes, for the love of GOD) do not give any more of my tax dollars to a bunch of self sanctimonious, I'm entitled assholes who do not have clue about what really drives the economy of this country.

900+billion dollars??????? Bush's plan didn't work. Obama's won't either. The money is not going where it needs to be. Do not give it to corporate America. Give to the tax payers. Send me and all my co-workers, relatives and friends $10,000 and let us stimulate the economy.

Trust me we will do a better job.

The above t-shirt says.

Damn Banker Pricks.

If they were real men, like in 1929, they'd be hurling themselves out of skyscrapers by now!

Dear Obama

SO, president Obama is back peddling on campaign promises. OMG!

And he is dissing Rush! Give me a fucking break. Rush Limbaugh is a radio talk show host, not a politician. His job is to create contriversy! Rush takes a topic like a cat on a mouse and blows it up.

Folks, I used to work at a newspaper. I'm the poor slob that answered the phone, I used to catch all kinds of shit about editorial cartoons and letters to the editor. My standard answer was, I realize that you do not like what we printed, but! It made you use your brain enough that you picked up the phone and dialed me to whine/complain. That is the only purpose of editorials.

Bottom line, editorial stuff makes you have to get your brain out of neutral and put it into drive. Editorials make you think! Thank God, a lot of Americans still have a brain.

So, let's get down to brass tacks about Obama. He is our president, like it or not. But like many he is already back peddling on his promises. I remember seeing a you tube clip of a fat, black, woman, from the south who attended an Obama campaign rally. She was so excited that if Obama got elected, she would never again have to worry about making her house payment, or putting gas in her car, or buying groceries. OMG! Did she think he was going to write the check for her house payment, send her a gas card and give her unlimited food stamps?

HA HA! Reality Check bitch! Ain't gonna happen. Sorry about yer bad luck. Don't quit yer job! Be thankful you have a damn job, cuz sweetie, yer gonna need it.

Sarah Palin

The media and anonymous staffers from inside the McCain/Palin campaign have been whining the Sarah Palin is a Diva. And of course the big whoop about the $150,000 in clothes.

Duh! Campaign money most likely took care of the cost of the clothes. Throw in the fact that it's great advertising for the designer. There's some kind of deal there. Then, you know she did not get to keep the outfits.

There hasn't been this much fuss over attire of political candidates since Hillary Clinton made the pantsuit her election/political uniform.

There wasn't much said about the McCain or Obama wardrobe. Boxers or briefs guys? Fess up!

I designed the above t-shirt just for Sarah Palin, she can wear it proudly and tell the media and the anonymous folks to stick it where the sun don't shine.

I hear all the mud about how bad she did at interviews, went off the planned speeches, etc. Put yourself in her shoes. She went from someone most of us had never heard of to being in not only the national spotlight, but international spotlight as the VP running mate to John McCain.

All things considered, I think she did very well.
