State Budget

Let's here it for Mike Bishop. He has become the last bastion of no more taxes, or should I say revenue. That seems to be the new buzz word in the Governor's office to avoid saying the "T' word. With the new Michigan Business Tax we have the distinction of being the worst state in the union to do business in and now the Governor is pleading with Bishop to compromise and let her office initiate new revenue streams, aka levy new taxes.

All I can say is Thanks Mike!!!!

Pet Facebook

My dog has a sitter that has become very close to her and she is moving to Chicagoland. Is it so unusual that my dog Maggie has requested her own Facebook page in order to be able to communicate with her friend after she moves? OK, so I had to fudge the age for her as Facebook does not allow anyone under 18 to have a page and my dog is only 2 1/2 but in dog years she is nearly 20!!!!!!

It is also true that either my wife or I have to type for the dog but we don't mind doing it because we are on the computer a lot anyway. If it helps her get over the loss of her friend I am all for it.

Oh the things we do for our pets. At least this one item doesn't cost me anything.

Political Emails

Let me preface this by saying the I did not vote for Obama and would not vote for him today. In fact I think he and the liberal left are in the process of destroying the Constitution and putting this country so far into debt that we may never recover. However, I am so irritated at the amount of emails I receive that attribute things to President Obama and the Democrats that are blatantly untrue that I wonder if any of my friends even bother to verify the facts of the crap they forward.

When I recieve these, I spend just a few minutes to review the facts before I trash this crap and let the sender know that it is not true and please validate before forwarding.

Next thing I wonder is who sits around and compiles this stuff? These people must know it is crap so I assume they pass this stuff out to discredit the President and the Democrats knowing the information is a lie. Don't they know that they will discredit themselves on their own without lies and deception?

Oh well, such is politics; sad but true!!!!
