LIVE on C-SPAN2: Senate Session
On the Fox Panel: It is almost as disgusting as the other MSM isn’t it?
The panel needs some cruz control inspiration.
Had to turn FAUX off, couldn't stand their crap any longer.
Hey, I am getting way to close in age to those “family members” you describe.
Arthritis in my hands and fingers make writing awkward, painful, and tedious.
But, the adult children and grands are so busy, you know?
Have a lovely younger person (late 30s) helping me do some of the heavy cleaning. Told her today that cigarettes used to cost 25 cents a pack, and gas was only .25 - and she looked at me as if I was deluded.
Even those pushing their 40th decade have no idea how badly they have been screwed by the constantly devaluating dollar. If you try to explain fiat currency, they just don’t get it.
Bread was .19 cents a loaf.
The average income was about $4,500.
When my third child was born, we bought a new car for $1,600, and felt like spendthrifts.
A postage stamp was 4 cents. Hamburger, ground by the corner store butcher, grown by a local farmer, was .35 cents a pound. I used to be able to buy an entire week’s worth of groceries for 20$.
And for those of you who were “upwardly mobile”, a year’s tuition at Harvard University was about $1250 a year.
Put that inflation in your pipe and smoke it!
Boehner on FNC now.
1st Q from media was Sen Levin’s question. 2nd Q concerned pay.
Conference over.
I think youre a little confused..
It was the Japanese who marched into Poland..
They call it programming for a reason. Especially since the gov has approved propaganda on citizens.
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks..
Don’t touch that dial
- Frank Zappa, I’m the Slime
Put that inflation in your pipe and smoke it!
**********
I recall those prices too!
Looks like they are adjourning for the night.
“It was the Japanese who marched into Poland.”
Are you sure? I thought it was the Brazilians.
Maybe both were part of the Axel...
I love your enthusiasm, sentiment, and your fighting spirit!
But, we are no longer the country we were when the ::Japanese::: bombed Pearl Harbor.
We now have to carry half the population, ignorant, lazy, and dependent on our shoulders, feed them, clothe them, get them big screen tvs, and provide them the latest in cell phones, so they can text about how the “man” is keeping them down, as they ask us to go pick up a nice fresh pizza for them, so we don’t interrupt something important on the tube, like _________ (fill in the blank).
Just my attempt at sarcasm, trying to make the point that the 49% is what will destroy us. I don’t like that fact, but have to face reality. We are no longer the country we once were, even though some of us still do our best to keep the flame alive.
It is all in the math. Think about it.
“Put that inflation in your pipe and smoke it!”
Inflation is the silent thief.
LOL, loving it!
Couldn’t tell if my leg was being pulled, so decided not to be “sarcastic”.
That’s right, folks..
Don’t touch that dial
*******
Frank Zappa!! — I was talking about the Smith-Mundt propaganda ban repeal.
“It is all in the math. Think about it.”
I have. At length. I’m still more optimistic than pessimistic. In spite of the fact that I think national divorce is coming. In spite of the fact that the 47% or 49% or 53% are moochers off the rest of society.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t save the world, but I can influence that tiny corner that I and my family live in. And I expect that with God’s grace, we will both survive and prosper.
Feeling real sorry for the moderator on c-span right now. He has the remnants of a wicked fever blister.
Somebody ought to post him about raw honey, which stops those nasty upwellings in the bud. Any good raw honey will do, but a little jar of Manuka honey is the best.
Get some on Amazon, and never have to pay for that teensie little tube of Abreva again. Raw honey should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet, as it is very good for all kinds of irritating minor health problems.
It’s a quote from the movie “Animal House.”
;)
“Raw honey should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet, as it is very good for all kinds of irritating minor health problems.”
Better still to harvest your own (I’m a beekeeper amongst other things).
