Lost in the "In-Between", a Midwestern Anglo-Saxon descendent searches for commonality and a sense of place in this post-modern, post-politically-correct, post-American dream, post-EVERYTHING Brave New World of a high-tech surveillance police state polarizing the ignorant masses into hypnotic apathy or zealous outrage as lobbyists and politicians trade away the remnant freedoms of America's citizens.

Joe Plumber
Breaking news: Joe Plumber get lecture from Obama. Told we need to "spread the wealth". Joe Plumber doesn't laugh ... thinks about slapping Obama upside the head.
among many other 'full of shit' discrepencys: "And his question to Mr. Obama about paying taxes? According to tax analysts, if Mr. Wurzelbacher’s gross receipts from his business is $250,000 — and not his taxable income — then he would not have to pay higher taxes under Mr. Obama’s plan, and probably would be eligible for a tax cut."
yeah ... but you gotta admit this is fun though... just saying the words "its good to spread the wealth around" gives me the shivers....
granted, it's all fairly meaningless, tedious, and distractive... but there's an underlying base philospohy that separates these two candidates and parties.... you either like having a "Big Brother" or you don't. I don't.
... plus just the picture of this bald white guy plumber with a scrowl standing toe to toe with Obama is funny looking... you gotta admit ... they should arm wrestle or play a little 1:1 B-ball. :)
Maybe we need to go back to the "KING" days. Freakin' politics is an angry issue. I mean, Big Brother takes a whole new meaning with a black guy in the white house...more like big brotha!! I think today after hearing Colin Powell jumped ship on the Repub's, I almost grantedly know the Demoncats are in...tsk tsk. No love for small businesses on our horizon...another up yours to the heart of entreprenership(however you spell it). I guess the 'mark of beast' will be in our lifetime! One world gubbament here we come. Tone
i like paying less then a quarter to see the doctor and then paying about 50 cents for a ton of prescription medicines.
i don't mind that some asshole that drives an Audi has to pay for this.
on the flipside:
i don't mind paying a little bit of taxes each month as long as i'm assured my boy will go to college for virtually free. here's a question- Did you use all that saved up money the gov didn't tax to send your kids to college? probably not. it was probably spent just trying to make it month by month...
Theres our Socialist!! The problem with socialism is that the money that we are taxed will go to those who CAN work, of able body and able mind. Why give hard earned money to those who haven't hard earned it?? TRUE welfare is for the handicapped, people who can not work due to health or sound mind, and many other issues. Did you skip that part of class?? Hell even I got that much out of college...which insignificantly wasn't much at all!! Why don't Obama-nation (abomination) and company just donate some of their millions, and some smiles!!! Tone
I don't know about all that gibber-gabbish i didn't go to college, ok i did briefly but dropped out to have more time to smoke dope with friends.
anyway, what's funny to me is people that are labeling Obama as socialist or commie like it's some taboo. When did socialism become a nasty catch-all word? Social Security anybody? FDR, that one president that lead us to victory in WWII and saved our ass with the New Deal? He was the closest we've ever got to Socialism. Now Obama, he's nowhere near Socialist in the real sense. Compared to Socialist European nations he is quite the right-leaning centrist as true socialism as practiced in European governments is a pipe-dream for the American left.
So you're telling me, "blah blah blah socialism bad here's why.." well i have a problem with that and it's that you've never been to a socialist country i can bet you that. New Zealand? Switzerland? Czech Republic? ever been? How about any degenerate capitalist nation based on the American model, ever been to one of these countries? Bet not but you've heard of them, take about any country in Central or South America, great life standard they have down there compared to Sweden lol. Hell, life in the US is pretty shit nowadays compared to Sweden so go ahead and explain that away have fun..
I can't even give a comment to the last one except to say I wish I could sit,unemployed,in a pot shop over there and expect my government to take care of me when I get ill. As far as South America goes, either you're a rich retired American living on one of the resort barrier islands,you're a native living in a hut in the jungle. I made my life here working and raising my family and paid for both of my sons to go to college with NO handouts from the government at all.It's called personal money management. I don't need government...or OBAMA to do that for me....
BY the way Mitch and Adena,the beach house restoration is progressing...come see us if you get a weekend off.... much luv to all.... Beach Bum Rick
