  rebate checks         


Author: royerpfs

[[Workers who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300
rebates.

The rebates, expected to go out in June, would cost about $100
billion, aides said. The package also includes close to $50 billion in
business tax cuts.

Pelosi, D-Calif., agreed to drop increases in food stamp and
unemployment benefits during a Wednesday meeting in exchange for
gaining the rebates of at least $300 for almost everyone earning a
paycheck, including those who make too little to pay income taxes.]]

*********
So, people who don't pay taxes will get a tax rebate. Does that make
sense? Apparently it does to the democrat Pelosi. And then they
scream about the rebates being a Bush budget buster.

I hate liberalism.

Yikes.

(Although, fair assumption most these troubles have been taken care of.
Some reports date back to '05 and '06.)

  How To Burn 3500 Calories a day and Not Catch Fire         


Author: royerpfs
Date: Jan 24, 2008 10:25

At the gym today I ran my recently customary 10 minutes on the
elliptical machine and then loaded the Hack for some deep squats.
Too much weight--So, I took off 40 pounds and completed 2 sets of 20.

After that, I worked both my abductors and adductors and did some high-
rep hamstring work before finishing off with a few minutes of
stretching. Short workout in general, but enough to get my heart rate
up near 120 for about 15 minutes. I feel comfortable with it.

Tomorrow is macho upper-body routine day; so it's best I save some
energy for that, eh?

Everyone post well, and don't worry about Hillary in South Carolina.
She'll break into her *black church* voice and slay 'em.

That old jewish intelligence myth busted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations

Sample rank, country, IQ average.

1 South Korea 109
3 Japan 105
7 Germany 102
15 United Kingdom 100
23 United States 98
33 Israel 94

It explains why Hollywood movies are so dumb.

  John McCain for the democrats         


Author: Cleverly done

You liberals might like to change your tune and support McCain. He's a man
after your own hearts:

Read this and then tell me he is in discord with your own views. He's a
liberal democrat pretending to be a conservative republican, and he supports
everything you liberals salivate about. And, sadly, he'll prolly be the
one for whom we republicans will be stuck with rejecting. But, of course
you'll be stuck with Hillary Clinto. sigh. Anyway...

From Ann Coulter's column:

"Like McCain, pollsters assured us that [Bob] Dole was the most "electable"
Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn't lie all the time while claiming to
engage in Straight Talk.

Of course, I might lie constantly too, if I were seeking the Republican
presidential nomination after enthusiastically promoting amnesty for illegal
aliens, Social Security credit for illegal aliens, criminal trials for
terrorists, stem-cell research on human embryos, crackpot global warming
legislation and free speech-crushing campaign-finance laws.

I might lie too, if I had opposed the Bush tax cuts, a marriage amendment to
the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and drilling in Alaska."

Support McCain and become a phony republican.

  UFO flying over Texas         


Author: royerpfs
Date: Jan 24, 2008 04:50

A large number of UFO sightings have recently occurred in the skies
above the area of Stephenville, Texas; and the government is saying
they were not UFOs but fighter jets. What else could they be?
*Fighter jets* is a new one. At least the government is no longer
laying it off to weather balloons.

However, by definition, UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. So, as
far as the observers are concerned, the sighted craft were
unidentified flying objects.

In the early spring months of 1945 I observed an unusual craft high in
the sky over Dallas. It was disc shaped, moving silently, and leaving
a vapo(u)r trail. I was ten years old and knew the sillhouette of
every known propellor driven aircraft of the day, and to me it was
definitely an unidentified flying object.

I went home and told my daddy about it. He was a democrat at the time
and had no explanation other than to hint that it was a vast right-
wing conspiracy.

It was about seven years later when the UFO flap became newsworthy in
New Mexico and the term UFO came into conversational usage.
