    My good deed

    Friend of ours picked up a lost dog on the freeway near us. Beautiful male Border Collie. All black with white chest and paws. Very well behaved...obviously someone's dog. Neutered. No collar or tags. A little thin. Who knows how long he's been on the run. Gets along well with ours. Put an ad on craigslist and in the local paper. Hard to believe someone didn't want this fellow. I think he got through the fence along the highway and then couldn't find his way back. Hope someone calls to claim him. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  2. They got their guy elected and he raised their taxes. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  3. Ummmm - NO. And I also remember the S&L crisis during Reagan/Bush years, with Keating and MCCAIN. Ummmm - WRONG. OK. Give me the numbers. Show me where I'm wrong. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  4. I can, and this is far worse. 1/2 million losing their jobs each month for months on end? Read again. Unemployment peaked at 10.8%. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  5. Perhaps you're too young to remember those years. This isn't nearly as bad. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  6. Please. Inflation peaked at 14.76% in March of 1980. Interest rates topped 15% in 1981. Unemployment was 10.8% in November/December of 1982. Nowhere near that today. The only reason there wasn't a record foreclosure rate under Carter is that subprimes didn't exist then. Megabanks and insurance companies didn't exist like they do today. Unemployment was around 6% at the end of Bush's term. Nice try. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  7. Reagan inheriting Carter's mess. Ronnie was also a great communicator like Bammer. Seems Barack is just now getting the idea that his job isn't to tell people how bad it's going to be, but how he's making it better. That's hope & change I can live with.

  8. Heavy cloud was my first canopy. Was videoing when you wore the recorder on your belly. You could hear me grunt on camera as that bitch opened. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  10. And what happened to "we're facing the worst economic crisis since the great depression". Seemed for a while that's all B.O. could say on the economy. Was he wrong then or is he wrong now? Neither. It is the worst crisis since the great depression, and it is not as bad as you think. Funny how you never hear anything about the Carter years. All you ever see is "worst in 28 years" or something like that. It is, however not the worst since the Great Depression yet. It's the worst since the peanut farmer was POTUS.

  11. Sure...but Rush could continue doing his schtick. Cramer can't. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  12. percentage of Americans identifying as Christians has dropped to 76 percent of the population, down from 86 percent in 1990. Oooh...only 3 out of 4 instead of 3.5 out of 4 in the last 20 years. I don't think Christianity is going away anytime soon. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  13. Man did Cramer fold. Can you say goodbye to his career? http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/stewart-vs-cramer-winner-take-all--183 Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  14. I get what your point is. But it's not as thought they're giving you the government's money. It's your's, and your kid's, and their kid's money. Buying jobs to create money...ah forget it. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  15. Not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  16. March 12th declaring the national crisis is "not as bad as we think" and his plans will speed recovery. Now he's getting it. Must have been taking notes on Reagan's addresses. I believe a sitting president can quell the fear that grips a nation during a downturn. Be positive...act positive...go shopping. Good show! Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  17. You gonna charge all the members of congress? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  18. You think that's what they're saying? have a job? How about "Times are tough...let's give you a meaningful tax break so you'll have more money to inject into the economy"? Unfortunately what I'm seeing is "times are tough...let the government save you." Pass. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  19. A man is waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor comes in and informs the dad that his son was born without torso, arms or legs. The son is just a head! But the dad loves his son and raises him as well as he can, with love and compassion.. After 21 years, the son is now old enough for his first drink. Dad takes him to the bar, tearfully tells the son he is proud of him and orders up the biggest, strongest drink for his boy. With all the bar patrons looking on curiously and the bartender shaking his head in disbelief, the boy takes his first sip of alcohol. Swoooosh! Plop!! A torso pops out! The bar is dead silent; then bursts into whoops of joy. The father, shocked, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant 'Take another drink!' The bartender continues to shake his head in dismay . Swoooosh! Plip! Plop!! Two arms pop out. The bar goes wild. The father, crying and wailing, begs his son to drink again. The patrons chant, 'Take another drink! Take another drink!!' The bartender ignores the whole affair and goes back to polishing glasses, shaking his head, clearly unimpressed by the amazing scenes. By now the boy is getting tipsy, but with his new hands he reaches down, grabs his drink and guzzles the last of it. Plop! Plip!! Two legs pop out. The bar is in chaos. The father falls to his knees and tearfully thanks God. The boy stands up on his new legs and stumbles to the left then staggers to the right through the front door, into the street, where a truck runs over him and kills him instantly The bar falls silent. The father moans in grief. The bartender sighs and says, * * (Wait for it) * * * (It's coming) * * (Ya ready?) * * * (Don't hate me) * * * (Yer gonna hate me) * * * (Take a deep breath) * * * 'He should've quit while he was a head.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please don't dent the planet.

  20. Actually I'd prefer they hand me a check to spend as I see fit. Think that would stimulate the economy? Oh wait...gotta figure out what to do with me $13 when I get it. Oddly enough, I never picked you as an advocate for welfare. Personally, I'd rather pay people to do something that's for the common good than simply give them a check for nothing. It's your and my tax dollars being spent...shouldn't we get something for them? Blues, Dave Nice try. That's our money...we paid it (or will). And what is it you think we're going to 'get'. Hardly welfare. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  21. Do you have any idea what is involved in spending this kind of money? Would you prefer the government just hand huge checks to a bunch of companies with an order to "Do, umm, something with it"? That would be the GWB model for contracting.

    Are you saying the dems and Bammer won't make good on their promises? Does it matter whether it's actually spent or just pledged? I guess it depends on what is is. We all know it hasn't been spent in 6 weeks. That wouldn't make any sense. We need to wait until next year to stimulate the economy. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  23. A new "stimulus" plan emerged; in lieu of the $175 billion campaign plan, an $800 billion package was proposed by President-elect Obama and passed by Congress. So what is the market saying now? The Dow Jones index—which fell 19 percent from Sept. 2 through Nov. 3—plummeted an additional 15 percent from Election Day through the passage of the "stimulus" bill on Feb. 12 (and then an additional 11 percent through the rest of February). http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/arts/chi-perspec0306marketmar08,0,1688182.story The market just loves that stimulus spending. Of course, relatively little has actually been spent as of yet. The bulk of it won't occur until next year. Right before the mid-term elections. Hmmm. Please don't dent the planet.

    I didn't say Barack...I said congress. They've been doing stupid things for a long time but recently they have managed to trump stupidity and take it too new heights of the absurd. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
