We created this monster

I made a trip to Wal-Mart recently, like I do often to get a few groceries. Imagine my surprise (GASP!) when the lady in front of me pulled out her food stamps and WIC card to pay for her transaction(s). No problem, I really have no argument for people in need to receive assistance. BUT, as I looked at this lady I realized her outfit cost more than my entire wardrobe! Seriously? Nike Air Max? 160.00 dollar shoes? Again, to those who truly are in need, fine. This one really pisses me off. Example: I would have to go in severe debt (ok, more in debt) to secure loans to go back to school. Yet my tax dollars and God knows what else goes to fund those who choose to play the system. Wait a minute, I could tell the government I am from Sudan and get my school paid for! But I make way too much money to qualify for education assistance that would amount to anything. Is it any wonder how we got to this point? We piss and moan about our politicians being corrupt money hungry douche bags, yet we keep re-electing the morons. We know who plays the system yet we do or say nothing. Me included. The system just keeps supporting these thieves and we get the same old song and dance. This country has become buried in fraud and deceit. We have become numb to those who truly need our help. Yet it's hard to know what is what. Makes you wonder if some people see the American flag and automatically hold out their hands, rather than saluting it.......shameful

My Hero

I really don't like politicians much at all. That said, I was made aware of eternal gubernatorial candidate here in Texas by the name of Kinky Friedman. Love this guy. if just for his outstanding quotes. Now I can't recite them verbatim, but the 2 I love so far?

1. "When I die, throw my ashes into Rick Perry's hair".

2. "Obama has done for the economy what panty hose did for foreplay".

I like this guy, if for nothing more than his will to speak his mind, correctness be damned.

Hope This Works
