Through Rain, Sleet, and Snow, but not a rough economy?! It seems that every company is being faced with cutbacks and it now appears the post office may be no different. Massive deficits could force the post office to cut out one day of mail delivery. [Read more...]

Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
Intaxication (v.): Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Masocashism (adj): Pain gained from personally giving bailout money to companies that will still fail in the end.
The first two I read somewhere; I made up the third. Feel free to add your own in “Comments“
It’s Magic! The V.P. Home Can Now Be Seen!

It just appeared overnight. When Obama promised less secrets and more transparency we had no idea how literal the man was.
It became somewhat of a joke; that the V.P.’s home never showed up on Google Earth while Dick Cheney was in office. Some say it was a “security issue” while others believed [Read more...]

If common sense doesn’t work, why not try some old fashioned bullying? To date, Citigroup has received $45 billion in bailout money. So you would think the company would be making every cut they can to survive and use the money wisely – too bad it takes a call out from the President of the U.S. to get you to start thinking correctly.

BREAKING NEWS ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH PLAN
Democrats, realizing the success of the President’s “Cash For Clunkers” rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.

“Cash for Codgers” works like this…
Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay for the delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person. The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts. [Read more...]
Obama Swearing In. Who Messed Up? And They Did a Second One?

Yes, it was a stagger, but no one dropped a bible, spilled a drink or knocked over the podium so it could have been much worse, right?
Before I get into “what went wrong” let me say this; Obama is now President. Any blogs or writings that keep saying he was trying to purposefully leave out words or not say certain words while his hand was on the bible are just plain stupid.

Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
