The Rainbow Bridge
By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill,
is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
when their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
the time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
and then side-by-side,
they cross over…together.

If not in a Union you won’t need “Road Crew Attire”
Written in the stimulus bill is clause that all money spent on state projects such as road repairs and other construction “must be union wages”. I do not see how they can get away with this considering many states such as Texas and Florida are “Right to Work States’. Unions cannot force or make a major push with any type of intimidation in these states. They are not suppose to even be able to picket but they do and they scare clients with just their presence.
To all of those who are pounding their chests saying Unions are needed to make a fair living need to do your homework. When Unions were formed was a different time. Minimum wages were not in place and people were working for practically nothing. Back then it was needed but we have out grown them. It’s is really a type of discrimination which is suppose to be against the law. Now we have a Department of Labor which you can take your grievances. Not that you will get a quick or even positive result because they are part of the corrupt government. I’d still rather deal with them then a Union.
It’s no secret that the Unions always have and always will be connected to the mob. Remember Jimmy Hoffa, where is he? Anyone seen him lately? Unions are breaking this country, sending jobs across the border and overseas. Whats amazing is they don’t care!
Obama is paying back a campaign promise which will keep many Americans out of work. Union dues are not cheap. Getting into one is not easy, they are a close net group. So basically if you’re not in one you can’t even work on a road crew.
As far as the Card Check goes how can that be put in place through the Federal Government and force it on a “Right to Work State”. There are many that are and the Federal Government cannot force them to allow the Unions to attack our companies especially without a secret vote. If that happens the wars will began because the American people have had enough!
According to the stimulus bill unless you are a member of a Union you will not need one of these. But if you are Walmart can set you right up with all your road crew needs.

A vital part of your road crew attire.
Walmart on board with Obama’s new job creation.
While walking through Walmart I realized they may be in this stimulus plan. They have everything you need to work on a road crew. Obama is promising us millions of new jobs as road crew workers to rebuild our interstate infrastructure. So all the finance workers from Wall Street and other working professionals that have lost thier jobs and only have buisness suits in their closet, Walmart has what you will need and it is affordable since you are unemployed and few dollars to spend.
Thanks you Walmart I know your trying to help and make a huge buck while your doing it!

A vital part of your road crew attire.
Good-bye 2008 here’s what I thought of the year in films, people and economy, if anyone cares?!
I am a movie nut so of course I went with major anticipation to be left thrilled by many and so disappointed by few…
The BEST of 2008 in my opinion not in any particular order:
- 21
- Appaloosa
- Eagle Eye
- Step Brothers
- Street Kings
- The Bank Job
- Body of Lies
- Bolt
- The Dark Knight
- The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Death Race
- Wanted
- Get Smart
- The House Bunny (Yes, it had some good moments, made me laugh)
- Iron Man
- The Rocker (Dumb but funny if you like stupid funny like I do)
- Miracle at Saint Anna
- Madagascar 2
The really bad ones, in my opinion:
- The Happening (So awful, OMG!)
- 88 Minutes (I was so disappointed)
- Burn After Reading (Why was that even made)
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall ( No scenes from the trailer, it was just so bad)
- The Mummy 3 (Ag! and I loved the first 2)
- Rambo 4 (2 & 3 were bad why was there a 4?)
- X-Files 2 The Movie ( I am a huge X-Files fan how could they insult us with that awful film)
Movies were the only thing that seemed to be bearable this past year as the economy fell apart. Gas prices crippled us as oil companies cashed in at all of our expense. Now it’s dropped and they are freaking out! Give me a break they made so much money off this past summer they can buy private Islands. Just proves that big oil and large corporations enjoy watching the public suffer and have to chose between food or gas to go to work to make a dollar. I give you a big kick in the ass for 2008! Big oil you nearly destroyed our economy! If you get your way you will!
Who else gets a kick in the ass from me for 2008:
- Bernard Madoff (Ripping off charities, God will deal with you!)
- Governor Rod Blagojevich (Is that a wig, and it’s time to go)
- Nancy Pelosi (Are you awake? It’s time for you to step down you’re just dumb!)
- Neil Cavuto of Fox Business News (Shut up, let your guest speak and your jokes aren’t funny! I did like your dynasty family sucks monologue, but that’s it!)
- Jessica Simpson (Your day has come and gone, who cares if you have a boyfriend, your lucky someone puts up with you!)
- Lindsey Lohan (You should be blackballed from Hollywood you spoiled whacked out brat!)
- Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View (Just shut up, your just annoying!)
- Mark Cuban (You know I would not leave him off the idiot list! I am so glad we see so little of him these days!)
Borderlines, very close to getting a kick in the ass for 2008:
- Sarah Palin ( I once had respect for this woman but she’s so full of herself now, today when I got a email to buy my “Sarah Palin Calendar” I almost upchucked! Tone it down if you really want a chance in 2012) I ask how many future President have had calenders out prior to running, huh?
- Carolyn Kennedy (You are not Senator material, you are a women of class and highly respected don’t blow it getting in over your head!)
- Al Gore (Your trying to take credit for solving Global Warming and well, we haven’t yet, back off a little…)
- Brad Pitt & Angeline Jolie (Can we go through one day without hearing what saints you are.)
- Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes (Your drama is boring! Who cares if Katie has a new hair cut!)
I have to say I was impressed by a few this year:
- Laura Bush (She carried herself like Jackie Kennedy Onassis, I can only Hope Michelle Obama will follow her lead)
- Warren Buffet (He’s just a smart business man and a good person)
- Hilary Clinton (I am surprised she made my impressed list but in the end she is good for women and the future of women in politics)
- Michael Phelps (All I can say is WOW!!! You are a great athlete and hold yourself with grace and dignity. Congrats Michael! You worked hard and earned it the old fashion way!)
- Tiger Woods (Always a class act!)
Stupid decisions:
- Bail Out Bill aka TARP (LOL)
- Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Act (LOL)
- Automaker Bail Out (LOL)
Well that’s my wrap up of my thoughts on 2008. I bet I come back and add to it. These are just my thoughts but I know I left many things off both good and bad.
Happy New Year! May 2009 be better for all, it can’t get any worse then 2008, we can only go up from here!
Mark Cuban you get what you give and well….
Mark Cuban has been pretty full of himself since he pulled off that Broadcast.com deal with Yahoo. Yeah, we hear all about that great deal what you don’t hear is there may have been some casualties left in the wake. He has never really been a man who cared about what he does or who he hurts to benefit “himself”.
Thinking he was bulletproof he has been fined $1,455,000.00 from the NBA for numerous things. Yes, due to lack of self control he has been slapped by the NBA many times. In the beginning every time you heard the name Mavericks he was right there to the point of making a total fool of himself, in fact not only the NBA had enough, his players were getting a little fed up with him too and well, we hear very little from him these days which I have to say is fantastic!
He went from computer geek who desperately wanted to be actor but just didn’t have it. Then overnight with a few people stomped on to do it, so I’ve heard, he became a billionaire. It was so apparent this was “new” money, not old. A person born and raised in wealth has a certain class about them, they may not be nice, but they are sure not tacky. He made a commercial for a Dallas Radio Station who was giving away a million dollars or so. It was rediculios, I believe he popped out of his new jet saying “you can be a millionaire like me”. Then posed for a mail out for a Tanning company that said “Be Tan like Mark Cuban” oh and we can’t forget his flopped TV reality show where he was giving away a million dollars to a total stranger. The TV show must have been that part of him that so wanted to be an actor and well…It was a major “dud” like his acting career. I could go on and on about this man, he’s no angel and if I had a choice to be wealthy and be him or homeless on the street I’d chose the street.
Now he is being accused of “insider” trading. His lawyer, who seems to think he wrote the laws, was on TV saying he was gonna make the Securities Exchange Commission look like idiots in court and Cuban would emerge smelling like a rose. The arrogance of the attorney was so much like Cuban, I had to take a second look to make sure he was not Cuban himself. The lawyer stated that, to a man like the “Almighty” Mark Cuban $750,000 was nothing, then you have to ask yourself why Cuban did the trade to keep himself from losing it. If I smell anything it’s a “rat”! The Judge should be asking that question as well. Plus, “he was not an insider”, where has that lawyer been, the term”insider” has been changed drastically over the years.
So why does Cuban think the laws are for everybody else and not him? If the SEC has been investigating this for over two years they had to have something. The gall of Mr. Cuban accusing them of throwing their power around. Cuban has been trying to do that, at times succeeding, ever since he made his fortune. The SEC is doing there job and I feel he is getting off light. I wish they’d humble him with a few years behind bars. He deserves far more then that in my opinion.
