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.

guess, being right wing, he's too stupid to know it took the US over
10 years to get out of the last one.

taft did EXACTLY what the righ recommends: slashed spending. that
deepned the depression and caused 25% unemployment

but the right thinks that's OK. it affects only the middle class. not
the rich

the right thinks BP is the victim.

Probably not near as many as are hyped up to be. All of a sudden
everyone around the Gulf wants to work...LMAO.

As for tourism, many in BC are saying this is going to be the worst year
they can remember. So I wouldn't expect Florida to be much different.
Fact is with civic and state tax sqeeze, lost jobs, lost homes, crappy
state of affairs the tourists are not traveling like they used to. I
was recently in a hotel with 160 rooms and 2 rooms occupied.

Reagan did it in 10 months. Obama a sissy?

Completely yes, but sure signs of recovery from Reagan was 10 months.
Leaving people with their own money in tough times always works better
than GB and bank black holes.

Write ABC or whatever. They should have a show where they take people
at random off the street. The game is called "Can I borrow!".

He who can write the biggest non-bouncing check from newly borrowed
money wins a million.

Could be a hoot.

I remember reading how a 12 year old out performed the markets
consistantly for 2 years in some school thing. Beat out pros, private
investors and every mutual out there.

He was asked how he picked them. His answer was simple. I always pick
winners as winners tend to be winners and I have fewer losers this way.

Lets bet on the middle class and leave them more of their money.

Tell Obama to shove Obamanomics marxism/statism up his ass in November.

yeah i know. when the reaganites drag out the corpse of their senile
hero and portray him as friend of the middle class, it boggles the
mind. he should have been embalmed before he took office
