Yep, I'm right there in believing that colored eggs, separates us from them!

There is plenty of money to explore making war on a sovereign nation. But no money for making life here in America better for us citizens.

GO, GO and more GO GW BUSH

I'm doing fine in the Bush economy, of course I work at it! Maybe if you worked smarter, ran your mouth less and quit sitting around waiting for a handout from someone else you might get somewhere. Well maybe not, because that would mean you have to change your attitude and that is not likely.

It really did sound like a gun went off in church. We all laughed in the end.

Mookie,

Happy fertility holiday to you too...Oh gosh, the males running wild looking to mate!

A frenzy of activity happening right before our eyes!

I'm certainly happy to see Mark Hemphill got a job. Guess we will be seeing an article on the Iraq national railway.

Our government seems to have many dollars to spend overseas on some foreign railroads like the Iraq national railway, but right here at home, there are no dollars for American passenger railroads.

Yes, Mookie, there is a lot of controvesy in your Happy Easter statement! After all, isn't Easter really a fertility holiday! And with all the dollars going to Iraq, what kind of economic progess is happening right here in the good ol USA!

Yep, "Happy Easter" will unfortunately be controversial.

The Iraq Railway article already ran. I was a good one.

"By many measures, the U.S. freight rail system is the safest, most efficient and cost effective in the world." - Federal Railroad Administration, October, 2009. I'm just your average, everyday, uncivilized howling "anti-government" critic of mass government expenditures for "High Speed Rail" in the US. And I'm gosh darn proud of that.

But, if you'd rather spend the holiday celebrating your sperm count, by all means don't let a mere thing like Providence stop you!


Hey, spare me the dramatics. Iraq had nothing to do with 911. Get a grip fellow, this is not the crusades of the twelfth century and JC isn't my savior. As a matter of fact, why don't you take your idea of JC and go pound SAND!

Wow, did that come out of my mouth, YEP, it sure did!

And Happy Easter to you too Jim.
