Default I like Russell Crow's Idea,

Last night on The Tonight Show, Russell Crowe was asked about the 700 billion dollar situation in D.C.. He said his idea is to have the government give each citizen of the US, he thinks it is about 300 million Americans, $1,000,000. It would be cheaper for the government and helps americans.

I VOTE YES, **writing the gov. to make sure they have my correct mailing address**

I'm in But then everyone who doesn't like their job will quit and then where will we be? It's a risk I'm willing to take, I'm pretty self sufficient.

It makes perfect sense to me. Just think of how we could all stimulate the economy. Better still, make it 2 million each...still cheaper..

You think they'll get the mailing list correct??? Ha ha ha


I got a call from the T Boone Pickens call center last night. I'm a little punchy these days...sleep deprived would be a good word...so I was not in the mood for a political action committee phone caller to be calling me at 9 pm. So the call goes something like this...she says she is calling on behalf of T Boone Pickens and I ask her if he is giving away money. Dead silence. Ah, no, she stammers. She says she is calling to ask for pledges...Oh I say he wants MY money. Ah...well...I said, well, I could use some money, not give away money and I think he has enough money so if he is asking me for money I don't have any, but I could sure use some. Dead silence. Well, ah..she is desperately trying to read her canned statement to me and I just won't let her. I told her if he wants a donation from me forget it. If he is handing out money, then fine. Good night and hung up.

So, Earl...keep those cards and letters coming!

Now see that?! That's productive thinking! Crowe should go to a meeting, he could just demand that. I bet he's pretty intimidating, and I doubt anyone in that group could harm him even a little bit! LOL

Politics

All of you are being sarcastic, right?

No goverment gives anything away. Especially not money. It's the old 'rob Peter to pay Paul' gag. All of us are taxpayers. Take from some to give to others?

Now Russel Crowe... Isn't he Australian?
I still think he would've made a better Robert Langdon (DaVinci Code), than Tom Hanks.

But that's just me...

Check that, I was wrong:

Russel scareCrowemagdon man is a Kiwi, (New Zealand) not a Koala (Australian).

Wow.
That's the most nicknames I ever gave someone.

So don't tell our Koala I made that mistake.
