Yeah whatever...

Hey, did you know that Gerald McRaney is married to Delta Burke, who stared on Designing Women with Dixie Carter who was on Diff’rent Strokes where Gordon Jump guest stared as a pedophile with a thing for Dudley, and Gordon Jump was on WKRP with Tim Reid who stared on... you guessed it, Simon and Simon with Gerald McRaney!

And Dana Plato fatally O.D. ed in Moore Oklahoma, birth place of Danny Cooksey, who played Sam McKinney, the step son on Diff’rent Strokes seasons 6 and 7. How crazy is that?

And Shelley Fabares was Craig T. Nelson's wife on Coach, and in real life, she's married to Mike Farrell, and on Hello Larry, she played McLain Stevenson's wife!

So, since Hello Larry was a spin off of Diff’rent Strokes, I think everything somehow relates to that show.

I'm gonna spend this afternoon researching Facts Of Life (another “Strokes” spin-off) since it served as a launching pad for so many of today's brightest stars.

This is standard operating procedure for the congressional rats and the White House rats. They just ram stuff through before anyone can read it. This is how they stole nearly $800 billion) from us supposedly for “stimulous.

This is ridiculous. If global warming supposedly happens SOOOOOO slowly why rush a bill through the house unless it’s loaded down with crap no-one should see?

And now that I think about it, and the Mike Farrell Diff’rent Strokes connection has been established…
Farrell recently gave an interview to Michelle Phillips, who, of course, was the step mother of MacKenzie Phillips, who was on One Day at a Time with Pat Harrington (Dwayne Schneider) who, during the Korean War, was in the army (just like B.J. Hunnicutt).
This newly realized Army Connection opens endless possibilities!

BTW- Nancy McKeon (Jo Polniaczek on The Facts of Life) had a private audience with The Pope, just like Father Mulcahey on M*A*S*H, so there’s another Army Connection.

“Am I alone?”

No. This is an exercise in power in the government and worldwide that I believe we are unable to change. Additionally, I believe that Pravda will keep his approval at politically viable levels long enough to do much more.

Mindy Cohen from the Facts of Life also did the voice of Velma Dinkley on Scooby Doo and in the original one, Don Messick did the voice of Scooby and was friends with George O’Hannlon who did the voice of George Jetson and Elroy Jetson was played by Daws Butler (who also voiced Quick Draw McGraw) and he worked with Nancy Cartwright (Lisa Simpson) and her father, Homer, was in the Army in one episode.

Dictators... What a joke this Congress is. How long are we going to pretend we are free, and let these fools spend our kids inheritance? We have fought bloody wars with people that wanted to enslave our children in history, I suspect this will end up in another one.

Unless of course the destruction of the economy is their goal. Which I might point out is what they are obviously doing. They want a new dollar, and a new government without limits to their power. This is all about shredding the Constitution and breaking the back of the American people. The people in government now are traitors and need to be brought to justice in a court of law. If found guilty of being a part of the Obama conspiracy, they should be executed. Obama is not a legal president, and all who take part in supporting him are guilty of High Treason.

“How in hell can this she-bat get something voted on that no one has read? “

That’s 99% of the bills. The Congressman rushes into his office and his staff says, “such-and-such is coming up, vote yes, here is a speech to read” and the congressman rushes to the chamber to give the speech then vote based on party line, ideology, or threats (not content).

If you look at the page count of all the bills, there is no way a congressman could read or understand what he’s voting on.

On FR, a bunch of people look at a bill and comment on it, analyze it, determine impacts, and that takes days. The congressman has a staff, but they listen to “leadership” and outside special interest groups.

It’s pretty clear, too, that the bulk of most bills are penned by advocacy groups, sometimes years in advance, then congressional staffers polish them and add the “constituent perks” and pork and graft and theft.

This can be amusing- Obama signed an exec order authorizing stem cell research, then three days later signed a bill banning the use of human embryos in research. Nobody read it!

Gone are the days when both political parties were pro-American, and there were just questions about which side had the better plan to protect and grow the country. I don't know how we survive what is happening. Our republic is falling, but we started off so far from the ground that even though we are in free fall the ground doesn't seem close enough yet for most people to worry about what it will be like if and when we hit it.

I will do the math...

$800,000,000,000 in “stimulus”

3,000,000 jobs destroyed

Therefore it cost the American taxpayer $267,000 to destroy each of 3,000,000 jobs.

This is the Obama legacy.

“This is the Obama legacy” ......along with prime loan foreclosures, a ruined medical system, and taxes and the cost of living so high and so insatiable that we will live much like the orcs of Middle Earth, scratching out a meager living by toiling in the festering bowels of the land.

What is to keep the ‘Rats from adding items to a bill after the vote?
If nobody has even read it then I assume they can’t claim that new information has been added since there is no frame of reference.
I don’t trust these people at all. Election ‘08 was our Reichstag fire.

I seem to remember these people claiming George Bush was acting like a dictator. You couldn’t get any closer to dictators than what is going on right now!

I think you call that projection?!

They just lie their @sses off all the time and they know it.
