Last month employers eliminated 125,000 jobs and Obama sends many jobs
overseas with his offshore drilling ban. Many workers have simply
given up looking for work causing the rate to drop by a whopping .2%.
Meanwhile, the Obama admin does all it can to stop the oil cleanup.
The definition of insanity has been said to be "Doing the same thing
over and over when you know it does not work" yet the Obama admin
wants to continue to spend huge amounts of money to improve the
economy. We all know they will try to blame Bush for their failures.


I thought that definition read "Doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results." Einstein said it.
Been thinking about that.
One of my TVs wouldn't show a picture until I turned it on and off many
times. First started taking 2 times, then 5, then 10, etc.
Then it took about 40 times and my thumb was getting sore turning it off
and on and I got to thinking about what Einstein said.
Was I insane?
Just about then the TV turned on. Then it fixed itself.
Now it always turns on first time, every time.
I didn't beat on it or anything.
It just fixed itself. Been over a month now.
So I started thinking Einstein wasn't so smart.
Then I got to thinking about yanking outboard motor ropes, lawnmower
ropes, chainsaw ropes, and weedwhacker ropes.
Yanking those ropes over and over and over again with same result.
Nothing.
Then, suddenly, those machines roared to life.
So I figure Einstein was just a quitter except with a blackboard.
Probably insane too.

Jim - Ain't claiming I'm smarter than Einstein, just saying...


"I've got it, lets do what didn't work last time and caused massive
unemployment", we'll call it "Hope and Change"


Ohh... like Hoover and the Great Depression. You're such an impressive
idiot.
