good one!
Great post - thanks Lando!
Great article, am I wrong, isn`t opium legal in some parts of the world? "All they make is opium!" So, what, for crying out loud, at least they make something! They need to jump start their economy, and although it`s not PC to say it, they ought to set up a couple sweat shops, too. They get a fledgling economy growing. As production rises so do wages and the need for more workers. Put a couple dracmas in some pockets, and liberty will grow there. Productivity will rise, trade will increase, and a better life for those who have suffered for 5000 years will take hold.
bttt
Sorry.
The real problem, as I see it, is that after Bush wins they'll still be at it like teething infants. I see a tidal wave of hatred being whipped up by those who really haven't anything constructive to do in the world, like building a clinic in Iraq or ending the genocide in Darfur. I see more lies, more hysteria, more deliberate misrepresentation, more insensate rage.
But you know what? It'll be worth it.
Watching the Red Sox/Yankees series, I suddenly realized that we hadn't seen F'n show up in "Fenway Field"...it would have been a perfect opportunity for him to "revel" in the world of the "common people" supporting their "preferred athletic team".
Guess he was still smarting from the last time he graced Fenway Park with his presence -
and GOT BOOOOOOOOOOOED.
heh-heh.
Sox 4-2, top of the 9th.
HAVANA, Oct. 19, 2004 -- A multitude of unlikely volunteers is working the phones for Sen. John Kerry in the swing state of Florida. His campaign is unaware of the support, as the volunteers do not live in the United States, but in Communist-run Cuba.

The real reason why
I didn't think of this! Most of us haven't thought about this no matter how much we like or dislike John Kerry. WOW! Those figures have to be staggering.
He is one of the richest Senators in Government. When someone is elected president, it means the Secret Service has to protect the President and his family as well as his property.
The Kerry's have five US properties not counting the several foreign properties they own too. The cost to run these homes are more than what the average American could afford, even if the rent was free, and all you had to pay the water, gas &electric. Including ground keepers, maintenance, pool, and house keepers. To be President would require the taxpayers to pay for all that now if elected. Including a complete staffed Secret Service security 24 hours a day. In addition to that we will have to pay for each of their homes for security improvements even if they never go to them all, that is, that just in case. Who do you think will pay for all this? We Pay! This takes all the expense off Kerry and puts it on us.
Nevertheless, factor another major cost to Americans that Kerry does not want you to know about. Becoming president would automatically include taking care of all their properties with Secret Service Agents that includes 5 agents per 6 hour shift 4 times a day 365 days of the year for the rest of their lives so long as they own those properties. It comes with being President, once you are elected. It requires us the taxpayers, to pay for this as well as his annual salary, as well as his retirements including the cost of living adjustments to boot, plus salaries and protection for all their real estate property, plus Secret Service Agents, and pay the bills for the rest of his life. In addition, feed the Secret Service Agents and rotate new ones every 6 hours for the rest of his life.
Do the math. Five properties need to be protected. This requires five Secret Service Agents per shift, daily every six hours, per property! That is 20 Secret Service Agents per day per property everyday including Holidays. Wow, what does that cost?
Lets say an average of 20 agents per property, each earning a about $60K per agent to survey the perimeters and protect. Now times that by five properties so far. That is if the Kerrys do not buy any more properties afterwards. This also includes the Agents vehicles and repairs, gas, meals, days off, paid vacation, and medical plan visits etc per agent.
Who pays? YOU pay, the whole time they are alive after becoming President! Is this the best use of our tax money electing Kerry to take care of all their properties, both foreign and domestic? On the other hand, shouldn't he pay for his own? Yet, the Presidential salary could not afford it.
The more I think about paying for Kerrys properties everyday, just makes me happy keeping President Bush all the more merrier. Without raising taxes to boot.
How on earth would Kerry pay for everyone to have Healthcare, increase our military, and have us pay to protect his investments, all without raising our taxes? Tax and spend Kerry is his party motto.
Which really has to make you wonder why anyone with his wealth, would take a salary of that of a U.S. Senator, never mind wanna be President? Do you believe now why he needs to be the Prez? To serve the people? On the other hand, the people serve Him and his wife!
Please pass the Mustard and do America a favor and pass this to your friends, lets keep Bush a resident in the White House, and not have to protect another Kerry house. So think this one over and then have a nice day.
