Just In

Seems Sarah Palin is a real problem solver.

This just in - Sarah Palin will stop the shooting of wolves in AK. Instead, they will capture them, transport to DC and set them loose in the halls of Congress. Three problems solved - the caribou are protected from wolves, and the wolves don't have to be shot. We ALL know what the third problem was...

(Sorry folks - I just couldn't help myself :o)

Bad News

It appears that both of Maine's Senators are working hard to pass a stimulus bill that, according to most economists, has little to do with stimulus. It appears that the bill will pass, but ONLY because Maine's so-called Republican senators are pushing it. Only 3 Republicans (in name only) are supporting this pork barrel, and two are from here in Maine. Even some Democrats have said this bill stinks! So why are Snowe and Collins pushing it?

Are you aware of what they are pushing? PORK for golf courses, a "mob" museum in Vegas, a waterpark, new cars for politicians, a frisbee park, icebreaking ships (I thought their Global Warming was taking care of that), and almost 400 BILLION DOLLARS of this bill the pawns our grandchildren's future for things that have nothing to do with creating jobs or stimulating the economy. This bill is nothing more than a "wish list" of Christmas spending on all the things Congress has been try to bill us for, but couldn't.

Obama promised transparency - but have you heard him speak one word of all these pork barrel projects in the bill? No. Nada.

Call me old-fashioned, but I believe a stimulus bill should actually stimulate something more than the desire to spend, spend, spend. We simply cannot afford pork anymore. If they want an $800 billion stimulus bill, the least they could do is make sure it is all stimulus.

Don't get me wrong - I would like to see a good stimulus bill get passed. But this ain't it. If you have not read it, you should. You would be just as disgusted as I.

Even Democrats should realize that all the bad decisions in the last several years have been made by either Democrats and/or RINO Republicans (Republican In Name Only). Most of the Republicans in Congress - and even President Bush - were RINO's.

It's time to STOP the Rino from charging - charging a trillion dollars to our children and grandchildren.

Contact Snowe and Collins TODAY at 1-202-224-3121 or email them from their websites, and tell them you do NOT want this bill - you want a CLEAN bill, without all the pork. After all, even if this $800 billion does create the 4 million jobs they claim, that comes to over $200,000 of YOUR money to pay for EACH $35,000 job. And that is absolutely criminal.

Want more jobs? Enforce our immigration laws and make it impossible for illegals to work here. Then their 12 million jobs can go to the 12 million unemployed Americans, and illegals will self-deport if they cannot earn a living here. Three times as many jobs as the "stimulus bill", without any of the cost, and accomplished virtually overnight. Remember - illegals are sending $60 billion dollars a year back to their families in Mexico, instead of spending it HERE.

If this bill passes with the help of Maine's senators, I will work tirelessly to unseat them both in the next election.

We need better representation than people whose only response to an issue is to throw pork at it. Certainly, some of the spending in the bill is for worthy programs - but they do not belong in a STIMULUS BILL. Money for education, icebreakers, std research etc. are supposed to be funded in the budget, in the Omnibus bill. To sneak these things through by scaring folks and under the guise of stimulus is just plain dishonest.

The Great Intelligence Test

This is for fun.

I wrote the book "Wealth From Thin Air", and millions of copies have been downloaded (it's free to all). In it, I offer my email address. Well, this one guy emails me tonight and asked, "Great book, Bill. Have you ever read it?"

No - never read it. Didn't have to.

Here's your sign...

Blagojevich was on Letterman last night. Something he did not say, but should have:

"The only reason I tried to sell the Senate seat is because I was broke. I was broke because I paid my taxes. I never got the memo that Democrat politicians aren't supposed to pay them. So, I guess it's all Daschle's fault for not sharing that info."

I was having a discussion with some evolutionists today. What fun! It could have been even more fun, but the sport is taken out of it when you have a battle of wits with unarmed folks.

One guy said, "Evolution is a FACT. They have FOSSILS!" Guess he does not know what fossils are. Just because a critter had bones does not mean it evolved into or from anything.

Another said, "Well, Creationism is only a theory." I had to remind her that evolution is also just a theory. What makes hers better than mine?

Their arguments went downhill from there, until they degenerated to dragging Sarah Palin into it somehow. Desperation breeds fools. I just excused myself and left.

And you can't make this stuff up. A good Samaritan in California wanted to pick up all the trash along the road near his home. The great state of California will not let him. It's against the law!

And for those who refuse to believe claims that the media does not see Obama as the "second coming", check these out - these are images that many of them have been using lately. I downloaded them directly from news stories and magazine covers.

The ones who are really failing in the intelligence test, however, are those Democrats like Feinstein who, in spite of the public furor over the spending bill disguised as a stimulus bill, are trying to make it even BIGGER. And while nearly 1/4 of Democrat senators are actually siding with the Republicans in trying to clean up the bill and remove pork, those moronic senators like Feinstein are proposing adding another 50-80 billion to it in more pork. Some people are just too stupid to get it! The bill is up from $819 billion to $920 billion - of OUR KIDS MONEY! 18,750 PET PROJECTS added to this bill. There is even on bill that provides money to prostitutes for financial aid. Your money, folks.

But the DUMBEST person in the intelligence test must go to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who stated in a news conference today that failure to pass this bill will result in a loss of 500 million more jobs! Neat trick, considering there are only 220 million adults in the entire country. I guess every one of us will all be losing TWO jobs. Or maybe some of those jobs are in the extra 7 states Obama campaigned in that do not exist.

Senator Collins, on the other hand, has flatly opposed the bill as written, and is working hard to clean it up - such as dumping the new version of Cash for Clunkers that is attached to the bill. Kudos to Collins.

Last Chance

Hey, friends and fellow car nuts, the time has come to stand up if you have not done so already. Currently, the Senate plans to attach a "cash for clunkers" type of bill to the stimulus package to be voted on next week. This, in spite of the fact that the House already stripped off their version due to the pressure we put on them.

We need to put that same pressure on the Senate. For more info on the bill, and what you can do, vistit the SEMA Alert page at http://echo.bluehornet.com/hostedemail/email.htm?h=9965280abf2db93e74235e94bc9d1d46&CID=1445475797&ch=A03A65F980871DCB43E54A841F9057DD

Let's put up a fight worthy of the love we have for our rides!

Bill
