For those who think we can’t afford any tax cuts:
If the stimulus package, a.k.a. “we will take your money and give it back to you”, is part of what “saved the economy from recession”…
…wouldn’t it have been *more* effective to have simply never taken the money from us in the first place?
Correct answer: “Sure it would, but how could I fund my pork projects that way?”
I have two new cats
Yakkity yak, smacky-smack

I keep having this recurring vision

It would explain a lot, actually.
Our feline family member Buddie passed today, June 29, 2010, peacefully and without pain, following the sudden onset of an aggressive cancer.
She had been declining for the past month or so. She made a brief resurgence in the wee hours this morning and seemed to revert somewhat to her normal self, which allowed us to say our goodbyes.
Sadly, though, she rapidly declined shortly afterwards and throughout the morning, refusing food, sleeping most of the day, and not reacting to sights or sounds.
We conferred with our vet, and with no one seeing any possibility of recovery, we made the decision in the early afternoon to send her home in comfort rather than force her to face the inevitable.
“I said take this child, Lord,
from Tucson, Arizona
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
And she won’t bother you no more”
– Paul Simon, Under African Skies
She has been a great companion to our family for her seventeen long years, accompanying Sheila on the long trip from Arizona to Florida. Needless to say she will be missed terribly.
Rest in comfort, dear Buddie.
I got an email from Kelly K. asking that her page be restored.
I was quite happy about this. Some of my favorite shots were (and are) on her page.
So without further ado, here it is. Welcome back, Kelly!
Gainesville was a lot more pedestrian-friendly before they started trying to make it pedestrian-friendly.
One big issue
is
that there are currently
more people
in
the Federal bureaucracy
than there are
Americans
who can correctly
spell
“Federal bureaucracy “.
