You have to admit that the above video is damn funny whatever your nationality, but it might be a sore point if you are a senior who has seen his retirement devalue or disappear to the point where you need to go back to work part time/full time to supplement S.S. Benefits. You look around and the jobs close to home are in the service industry. But they are all taken. What? President Obama is looking at 11 to 13 million illegals being given amnesty, and they have to work somewhere. It's only patriotic for you to give up any job you might take from them. That's what teenagers are doing all over the country. Move to the moral high ground.

As I have gotten older, I have become a little less sensitive. So, after trying my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter last weekend (a good find for many retirees), I lasted less than a day......
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, ugly, nasty woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning, and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'
The ugly, nasty woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'
So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am. I just find it hard to believe you got laid twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.'
My 25 year old supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work........
So maybe I'll go fishing

Dear President Obama:
If you are going to burn some mega bucks to restart the economy, spend it where it will do some good. There are oodles of people over 55 in the work force who earn less than $100,000/year - Locate a few million of them. (these are the people whose purchasing power keeps everything running smoothly)
Pay them $1 million each severance with the following stipulations:
1) They leave their jobs. Millions of replacements rise up to mid-level job openings. Millions more fill their old slots. - Unemployment fixed.
2) They each buy a NEW American car. Millions of Fords, Chryslers, and Chevys ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They either buy a house or pay off their toxic mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
People start spending, the banks loosen up, and the economy goes through the roof. President Barrack Obama appears brilliant to the world and it only cost a few trillion. All this and you did it within your first 100 days in office.
Then, if you figure out how to pay back the taxpayer, go on an extended vacation. You will have earned it.
Jack
P.S. Put me on the list. I wish to do my share.
Vive Obama!
Sounds like torture for sissies. I kind of liked the old fingernail-removal method, myself. Now that smarted. So the guy knows you won't hurt or kill him. As a weenie option, place your special guest in a chair facing a window to a room occupied by 10 of his informed peers, adult family members of homicide bomber victims. Ask the esteemed detainee ever so politely whom he would prefer asking the questions.

RANT- Political missteps today directly affect our children and grandchildren tomorrow.
In one way I'm glad that I'm soon to be elderly. Feebleness will allow that I won't feel responsibility or shame for what is going on. But if I had a child or grandchild on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan? Not being politically astute (it bored me to death until lately), I'm getting that serious queasy feeling in my belly about this latest bunch who just took over Washington. Their ideas are really out there. Kooky. Ridiculous. ...Deja Vu. They don't want to finish our wars with honor, could care less about all the people who would be slaughtered if we leave too soon. The same thing happened in South Vietnam 30 odd years ago. We won every battle but those who didn't want to do duty got the politicians to turn yellow. We left that area and millions of people were hunted down and murdered. Millions. No one mentions it but we are responsible for their murders. People who trusted us. We Americans shamed ourselves Now we get to do it again. Cowardice is very ugly. >> This latest foreign enemy is far worse than anything we have ever faced. Barbaric acts of beheadings and mutilations is their norm. Mass killings of their own people are used to make a point, all in a religious fervor. Do they really believe that their religious deity is going to reward them for this behavior? But these morons are not the ones to worry about. It's the people at home who are going to affect the lives of our children and grandchildren. Americans who do not honor their country, who support acts so contrary to what is best for our soldiers, you wonder why they live in the USA. I'm not speaking of the Hollywood nitwits who embarrass themselves. They and their freaky fans are amusing at best and no one takes them seriously. But the lawmakers and groups of lawyers who band together to dig up and expose state secrets or wish to embarrass the U.S. by releasing repulsive photos, these are the people who put our young soldiers at risk, these are the true treasonous Americans of our time. These are the same people who threaten my Independent status and push me inch by inch to the right. Does anyone recognize the Democratic party anymore? No moderate room available.
Next up is Iran. Due to Europe and America doing nothing about those idiots making a bomb, Israel is going to jump on them with both feet. But they are not big enough to do it right. That is a really scary scenario for the next generation of my family and yours. And all that our diplomats will do is offer to talk. Have you ever had a sit-down with somebody high on the psychedelic drugs of old? Were you able to reason with them or did you say to yourself, "He is wacked out of his everlovin' mind"? A diplomatic discourse with those in power in Iran would be like having dinner with the Manson family; great conversation. Their latest election frauds have caused riots over there. Regime change to some form of Democracy is the only thing that might save Iran from a horrid and devastating war. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Our own government has forgotten we are in a real war with TERRORISTS while our intelligence services are being gutted from within. How long will we be able to keep our best operatives and lawyers when they are subject to the court system at every turn? From their point of view, why stay in a job when to do your best to protect your country means to worry constantly about the financial stability of your own family? You don't even have a boss who will stand behind your best thought out decisions. We are now back to pre 9/11 standards in some areas but approaching on lunacy in others. President Obama wants to treat terrorists as criminals, Miranda Rights and all. So they catch a guy on the battlefield or somebody who was with a homicide bomber before he killed about thirty people in a marketplace and he yells, "I have rights. I want my lawyer!" ...I must have turned feeble already. This can't be happening.
We have financial problems which are shocking, our savings and investments dissolving in front of our eyes, and just in time for many thousands of us to turn sixty-five. The dirty rats. Where was I when they decided government entities should knowingly force billions in bad loans upon the banks? And now when it all comes crashing down, the responsible individuals are still in power (can you believe that these creepy people keep getting re-elected by their home states?), blatantly finger pointing and placing blame elsewhere. What happened to the old firing squads? Line 'em up and mow 'em down. "John Wayne, where are you when we need you the most?"
The amount of people on the public dole, how did that all happen? What kind of people have we become? How come some communities take care of their own recovery from disasters while others chant for the government to fix everything? Did I have my head turned all this time while recipients of government assistance were becoming a family's third and fourth non-working generation? With no reason to toil for a living, these people have no idea how to do for themselves. Who dreamed up that idea? California is dead broke but no one sees that it could be the multi-$B entitlement programs for illegals that is pushing them over the brink. Now there is talk of bringing combatant prisoners released from their incarceration in Cuba to be emptied onto the streets of our cities. No body wants these animals, not even their own countries. And we will supply them with assistance so they can cope while they try to think of ways to attack us from within.
Has anyone paid attention to how many illegal aliens are in our prisons from felony convictions? Really bad actors? The numbers would knock your socks off. And people are against the fence? They kill our citizens, for God's sake, and cost us billions and billions every year.
...Okay, so don't deport them. Instead of building new prisons to keep up with the demand, how about a tent camp prison in Alaska similar to the one in Texas? But a Huge One called the 'FREEZER'. Put it far enough north and you will not need fences there, either.
Just a few of the great benefits of the FREEZER as opposed to the OVEN in Texas?
1. For good behavior you may construct your very own bear-proof igloo.
2. At -20 degrees, you will not gain weight on a diet of whale blubber. .
3. You learn how to smooch like an Eskimo. .
If we live to see 2010, many of the goofiest of our present leaders (U.S. Senators and Representatives) will be up for reelection.
Do your part for the future of our children and their families!
The primary function of a government is to keep its citizens safe. Our new Prez says we are not at war with Islam and never will be. Someone had better suggest to him to turn on the evening news. Or better yet, look at recent history. Don't make excuses for them. The 'Kiss and a Hug' stuff doesn't work here. You whine, "But it's only the most radical." If so, why don't they clean their own house and get rid of the dudes who preach this warped view? Islam has obviously been at war with the rest of the world including the U.S. for decades. They exist in a Middle-Ages mindset. Every on-going conflict around the globe today involves these people. Their holy book tells them to hate and kill everyone but those who have the exact same beliefs as they do. I am above being TOLERANT of those who would come for me and mine given half the chance.
I want a leader who can see straight.

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Thomas Edison
Speaking of Alaska, we have now reached a new high in media tastelessness. I am talking about news items that we have no right to know, much less hear the gory details.
Somewhere along the way, after the John Kennedy era, the press has gradually tossed out the idea that some things are out of bounds, whether its National Security items or private background tidbits of people in the news. Now it's a matter of ratings over respect. Martin Luther King was reported to have a roving eye and over and over we heard references to his sex life. Wasn't he a national hero, didn't he start a movement that has changed the face of America? Did we really need to know his sex life?
The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinski get-togethers in the White House were discussed openly and minutely detailed for months in newspapers and live TV. Wasn't he the President of the United States at the time, didn't this lessen his and our image to the outside world, didn't this humiliate his family on a daily basis?
The media has now latched onto the ex-boyfriend of the pregnant-outside-of-marriage daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin, questioning him about their teenage sex life on daytime prime time. I enjoy blaming things on our elected officials and it is expected that politicians will be attacked in many ways, but this is different. Any privacy for that family is out the window. I don't know who is more sleazy; the ex-boyfriend or the talk show hosts or the networks who carry these interviews or the folks that watch. And I don't hear anyone raising a cry against this. They are revealing intimate info, true or not, about the child of a state Governor.
Regardless of political leanings, one has to wonder what has happened in our culture that people have such an obsession with trash. I now believe right-to-life is no longer valid and condoms should be distributed free. The number of lowlifes in this country is multiplying out of control. Check out the new Eminem rap that is hitting the air waves and internet. He states in his crude way that he would like to have sex with Gov. Palin Now that is ghastly stuff, yet the late night Entertainment shows think it's great. The scary thing is that their audiences are also voters. Oh, boy.

Medical Bailout Proposed!!!
The allergists voted to scratch it, and the dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve, and the obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. The ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted; the pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!' The psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the radiologists could see right through it, and the surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the plastic surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter." The podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water. The anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas; and the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the proctologists left the decision up to the anuses in Washington
Good news for travelers. Contact your agent. It appears that President Obama is finally overlooking 40+ years of Fidel's minor civil rights crimes (killing off and jailing the competition) to open up Cuba to American Tourists. Not a bad idea since this might actually be a window to the future of America. 93% of Cubans with jobs work for the government. Their average income is $9/day. The national hero is Che', who was a terrorist and murderer. It is estimated that American tourism will immediately contribute a billion dollars to the Cuban Government. "Que? You say Venezuela has arms for sale? Mi amigo, Hugo? I like this new Presidente de Estados Undidos. Life just keeps getting better."

This is one of those head scratchers, or maybe a drop jaw shocker. I wish I could see the wisdom or reasoning behind it. There has to be an explanation. Maybe the Federal Register has been misread. I hope so. Besides the U.S. being dead broke, the floodgates around our country are already being swamped by enough undesirables: gang members, drug peddlers, and convicts.
H.R. 1388 was passed in January, 2009.
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza. This "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4. The order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006. I wonder if it they are also going to be provided with the locations of our own hate groups to feel more at home. "Welcome to the USA. We hope you can use this package of free applications to all the blood thirsty home-grown terrorist training camps in America, just in case you are a maniac and want to blow up stuff and create horror shows on our soil, too." ...Maybe a fence really is pointless after all. I haven't been interested in touching a gun ever again, but I would recommend keeping one handy in the future. As I suggested above, maybe our government has forgotten their primary reason for being in existence, "To Serve and Protect the People Without Screwing it Up."
