Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage. ~H.L. Mencken I don’t make jokes… I just watch the government and report the facts. ~Will Rogers If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free! ~P.J. O’Rourke In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other. ~Voltaire (1764)   Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you! ~Pericles (430 B.C.)
	No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. ~Mark Twain (1866 ) Talk is cheap…except when Congress does it. ~Unknown A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. ~Thomas Jefferson “If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” ~Mark Twain Suppose you were an idiot.  And suppose you were a member of Congress….But then I repeat myself. ~Mark Twain
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. ~Winston Churchill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. ~ George Bernard Shaw A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. ~G. Gordon Liddy Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. ~James Bovard, Civil Libertarian	Tip o the hat to Freeper april15Bendovr
Props to Lady Jag	Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. ~Douglas Casey, Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. ~P.J. O’Rourke, Civil Libertarian   Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. ~Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801~1850)
Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan (1986)T The government is like a baby’s alimentary canal:  a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. ~Ronald Reagan
	The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings.The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. ~Winston Churchill The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin. ~Mark Twain The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools. ~Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820~1903) There is no distinctly Native American criminal class…save Congress. ~Mark Twain What this country needs are more unemployed politicians. ~Edward Langley, Artist (1928 ~ 1995)

That’s not a bird, it’s a SkyRat.

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You’d better watch out!
There may be dogs about
I looked over Jordan, and I’ve seen
Things are not what they seem.

That’s what you get for pretending the danger’s not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal terror in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is not a bad dream.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He lays me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water.

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you’re told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.

21 and 19. I’m an over achiever...

[Pan_Yan]

I went though about 20 Megadeth songs in my head before deciding to go with Pink Floyd. Symphony of Destruction, Wake up Dead, Peace Sells but Who’s Buying, In My Darkest Hour ... it just goes on and on.

Where is this week’s quiz?

[Dead Corpse]

Makes you wonder if we'll see a resurgence of metal big-hair Bands as the economy tanks.

Another good song would be Weird Al's Weasel Stomping Day.

[darkangel82]

Just as long as it’s metal, and not God-awful Spandex glam stuff.

You Are Okay With Money

You're about average with money, which means you probably don't have a lot of it.
Your instincts tell you to stay out of debt and spend wisely...
But you don't always listen to your instincts!
With a little more effort, you could have a nice little nest egg. You just have to control your spending.

Are You Good With Money?
