    South Carolina is already bemoaning the "loss" of education funding that will happen when North Carolina's gambling enterprise starts up. If all the lottery money is "extra" money to be spent on education, why the problems?

Because SC, like every other government that's addicted to gambling programs, cannot stand ANY decrease in any spending program, EVER.

    A heartwarming holiday reminder from the AP:  Things in Iraq suck, freedom isn’t really free, a vote isn’t really a vote, Christmas mass is a terror event, and in the old days—before they were torn asunder out of fear and the mass exodus caused by post-invasion security concerns—happy families ran barefoot through Baghdad laughing and flying kites…

12 Politically Correct Days of Christmas

OK, everyone, sing along, cadence notwithstanding ...

    On the 2th day of the Eurocentrically imposed midwinter festival, my Significant Other in a consenting adult, monogamous relationship gave to me:

TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior through ritual drumming,

ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 8-member pit orchestra made up of members in good standing of the Musicians Equity Union as called for in their union contract even though they will not be asked to play a note),

TEN melanin deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of the patriarchal ruling class system leaping,

NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression,

EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons stealing milk-products from enslaved Bovine-Americans,

SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands,

SIX enslaved Fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human animal products,

FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced domestic incarceration,

(NOTE: after members of the Animal Liberation Front threatened to throw red paint at my computer, the calling birds, French hens and partridge have been reintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid further Animal-American enslavement, the remaining gift package has been revised.)

FOUR hours of recorded whale songs

THREE deconstructionist poets

TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled processed tree carcasses

and...

ONE Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear tree.

Merry Christmas !!!!

(unless otherwise prohibited by law)

* Unless, of course, you are suffering from Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD). If this be the case, please substitute this gratuitous call for celebration with a suggestion that your have a thoroughly adequate day.

    Americans are no longer in love with freedom.  In fact, the case can be made that Americans are afraid of freedom.  Oh, they want to be free to go on vacation and to chose where to live, who to marry and what to wear each day, but that just about covers it.  Americans  want the government to educate their children, guarantee their jobs, determine their wages, provide them with medical care, pay for their prescriptions,  ensure their comfort in retirement, regulate their business competitors,  and control the actions of their neighbors.  If you suggest that the responsibility for any of these factors be placed back into the hands of the individual the screams and howls of outrage and indignation will be heard across the country.

    Hypothetical - You get hired for a job. Although you show up for work every day on time wearing your best attitude, you are a real screw up.

    For all your good intentions, you lose several of your major clients and the bottom line takes a hit.

    A rival company in Cedar Rapids proceeds to kick the crap out of you even though they are still writing their software in DOS.

    As the morale of those under you hits bottom, you deep down feel that you and the company deserve to fail.

    Fast forward twenty years after they unceremoniously threw you out the door with your cardboard box.

    What reaction should you receive as you show up unannounced and opine that the current management is really screwing things up?

    It's sad when we've come to the point where it takes a hurricane to actually cut government. Not slow the growth of government, but actually cut the government's size.

    Watch this closely over the next few months. All 3,000 of these workers were deemed "non-essential." That means there were no police officers or firefighters let go. If they're so non-essential, then what are they doing on the government payroll anyway? Let's just see if the City of New Orleans dries up and blows away because it has 3,000 fewer bureaucrats pushing pencils down at city hall.
    If a city can cut its work force in half and not affect any essential personnel, that tells you something about the efficiency of government.
    Bottom line --- not one penny of taxpayer's money should ever be spent at any level of government for a worker deemed to be "non-essential."

Nice rant

 

----- Original Message -----

From: talon

To:

 

"Been sitting here with my ass in a wad, wanting to speak out about the bullshit going on in New Orleans.  For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for your loss.  With that said,  Let's go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming)

 

#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the hell out.  Don't blame the Government after they tell you to go.  If they hadn't said anything, I can see the argument.  They said get out... if you didn't, it's your fault, not theirs.  (We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.)

 

#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables.   If you didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving.

 

#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some.
(Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible.   Leave them alone.)

 

#2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your neighbor's TV and stereo alone.  (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff.  Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs, not yours.

 

#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no one is helping you.  I'm not getting shot to help save some dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so.

 

#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them.  If someone does want them, let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth.  Just leave!   (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them.)

 

#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports stadium or a floating casino.  Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level.  You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you?  You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy.

 

#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want  you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way  to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to   destroy America).  The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused   the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million  years).

 

#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything.   This is the  land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta  work for what you  want.  McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring,  get a damn job and stop  spooning off the people who are actually  working for a living. President Kennedy said it best..."Ask not what  your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

 

Thank you for allowing me to rant.

    There is a report today that income figures for the richest Americans -- the top 1 percent -- grew in 2003. In other words, the rich got richer. On top of that, the income taxes they paid declined. Get ready for another round of class warfare in the media, and you can depend on the media not pointing out that income taxes are paid on income and not on wealth appreciation. Sadly, most Americans wouldn't even understand what I just said.

Response to Moore's letter

Hey Hippie

Glad to hear your above using the dead as a soapbox to politicize a national tragedy. Next time you lose your car keys start looking in the folds under your tits to save time.

As for where our rescue copters and National Guardsmen what "the Laft" need to understand is that staging literally thousands of rescue workers and equipment takes time. We have the best rescue people in the world but there is no magic wand that even the President can wave to make things instantly better. Perhaps if Mayor C. Ray Nagin and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco were first concerned about keeping law and order instead of search and rescue missions our private charities could have been in there earlier.

Furthermore, a representative of the Army Corps of Engineers has stated that the critical Levee work was completed, that it was up to designed specs. The problem is, those specs were for a class three hurricane, not a four or five. Secondly of the funds that were transferred to New Orleans over the last decades, were diverted by the local levee boards to buy a Gambling Casino and a private marina. It would appear that the "Big Easy's" reputation for inept governance and corruption is well deserved.

You keep dodging Michael Wislon, Christopher Hitchens, David Harley and when our brave boys and girls in Iraq accomplish their mission, we'll all know it wasn't in your name.

Love ya

Contest organizers announced the big giveaway via a mass unsolicited e-mail to virtually everyone on the Internet.
