Weird

Tonight after Justin got out of the bath he said, "I didn't have to dry off much because I wasn't in very long and the water wasn't that deep". Wow. What a concept.

Sore Losers?

A "dear friend" Matt Drudge has once again been faithful to share some true bits news. If you click on this link, www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQXcImQfubM, you will see an interview with Joe Biden. He was asked some straight forward questions. Due to the fact that the Democrats did not like the straight questions, they have cancelled a interview that was scheduled with Mrs. Biden. The station was also told that any future interviews were unlikely. (see the response here, blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_tv_tvblog/2008/10/obama-campaign.html.) Come on now, I have always been told, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Maybe it should be stated, " If you can't stand the heat, get out of the race."

Yesterday

This is a picture I found of days long ago. It is of me, my sister Laura, Alicia Plank and her brother Jonathan. I don't remember where it was but I am assuming it was in West Virginia where we would see them from time to time.

Outer Banks, North Carolina

First things first.

The ocean was a ghost town...thankfully1

The Corolla Lighthouse

Jellyfish we caught.

A stranded dolphin. The rescue squad had
to put it to sleep.

We had a great first experience at Outer Banks. The weather was beautiful. The oceanfront was empty and the house was huge. We spent all week doing nothing. This was a true vacation. We didn't have a list of places to see, we just was flat out lazy. We played alot of games such as King's Court, Rook, Phase 10, and Skipbo. We grilled out, ate sea food and drank an abundance of Pepsi. Looking forward to next years trip already.

Vacation 2008

Starting tomorrow morning our family vacation officially begins. We are going to this cozy shack in Outer Banks, NC for a week. It has 8 bedrooms, 4 of which are king master bedrooms. 6 1/2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens a private pool, etc. We are 600 feet from the ocean and the crow's nest is supplied with one of the two hot tubs. Please pray for us that we will be able to enjoy such lousy accommodations. I am not as high-tech as my fellow bloggers (aka edgewise.com and the winding tale) so I will not post pics from the road. But then again, you are used to me going weeks without posting. See you next week.

New Bail Out Plan

I recently ran across this formula and kinda liked it...enjoy!

Hi everyone, check this formula out,

Im against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, Im in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in

a We Deserve It Dividend .

To make the math simple, lets assume there are 200,000,000

bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman

and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a

We Deserve It Dividend .

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So lets assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college itll be there

Save in a bank create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car create jobs

Invest in the market capital drives growth

Pay for your parents medical insurance health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18 + including the folks

who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company

that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If were going to re-distribute wealth lets really do it...instead of trickling out

a puny $1000.00 ( vote buy ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If were going to do an $85 billion bailout, lets bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Heres my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesnt.

Sure its a crazy idea that can never work.

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party !

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned

instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
