So, prior to continuing to making Americans look bad to our European neighbors, the current shrub in charge spoke about the current economy.
I shall paraphrase; essentially, the shrub told us that even though gas prices are psychotic and the economy looks terrible we Americans should remember that we did get the economic stimulus ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7443964.stm ) dammit...so quit your whining.
I am so relieved that the current shrub in charge had such a ground breaking plan to relieve the economy. That $600.00 I received will allow me to fill up 12 times at the station. And that is at current prices, "they" are saying that prices will continue to soar. Oh and let us not forget...we will be paying that stimulus back in 2009.
Fear not though, the shrub does not rest on his laurels. He has a good plan to beg for assistance from the European countries in... Afghanistan. Oh and if you can keep your food down whilst listening to his speech (I find pepto helps) you will also note that he is planning on pushing to dig up the continental shelf to extract more oil... another big "f" off to those who believe in global warming. Scientific proof...pshaaw.
But rest assured, according to the delusional shrub, the U.S. economy continues to grow in these trying times. That is why reports state that a record number of Americans are dipping into their retirement funds to make ends meet ( http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2008/06/06/more_dip_early_into_funds_for_retirement/ ).
So, as I am again being humiliated by the representative of my country to my neighbors in Europe, I have decided to adopt an English accent... lovey.

- I started this silliness because I no longer have anyone to vent to during the morning news. The cat is no longer interested. I can promise this won't be a diary just a series of rants and occasional silliness.

He is over there right now trying to drum up support (bribe people) to support the forthcoming attack on Iran. By the way you don't pay it back in 2009. You don't pay it back ever. The money was borrowed at high interest rates and pretty much added to the national debt.Should you have grand children;the burden is passed to them
My mistake on the rebate Mr.M...I was assuming this one was like the rebate we received a couple of years back. I recall the following year explaining to tax clients why they had to pay the money back. The gov't cleverly hid the pay back in a tax line on our returns. Thanks for clearing that up.
Oh and hopefully the Europeans in charge will kick the shrub to the curb...it is the least he deserves after telling the UN to "f" off when the whole thing started.
Turns out the French were right. Dammit!
Good Grief!!! It has come to that has it? Admitting the French were right...I am taking shelter.
