American Citizens, How Did the Government Spend Your Taxes?

From the National Priorities Project

Just enter the amount of federal taxes you paid for 2004 and see how that money was spent. You might be shocked!

I've been ranting about this for months now!

The In-Law's New Backyard...

Johnny's folks have redone their backyard and it's really pretty.



I surely do miss my old lawn... it was an acre and a half and hell to mow, but it was really beautiful.

I still can't get over how small these California lawns are. Ah, well, the weather is nice.

WHAT NOW???

UDATE

I look forward to the day when we have some good news.

I told Johnny that the Queen should have allowed this ALL those many years ago

I'm no Camilla fan, but it does seem as if this marriage was written in the stars (or some such nonsense). :-)



Johnny replied, "If Prince Charles had not married Diana, the world would never have known her and her good works."

Yes, I had to relent and admit that he was probably correct. Britian would not have her young Prince William and Prince Harry either.

And yes, I was a fan of Diana who touched so many lives.

What the frick is the The Constitution Restoration Act?

This bill ensures that God's divine word (and our infallible leaders' interpretation thereof) will hereafter trump all our pathetic democratic notions about freedom, law and rights -- and our courts can't say a thing. This, of course, will take "In God We Trust" to an entirely new level, because soon He (and His personally anointed political elite) will be all the legal recourse we have left.

Now, I'm a Christian, but I hope they're kidding! Separation of Church and State is vital to America. If I want to live in a theocracy, I'll move to Iran.
