Some times its the little things that get under your skin!

The first thing that turned me against obama was when he used campaign money to procure an American made airliner and then used the same funds to paint over the U.S flag embellished on its tail and replaced it with an an icon of his choice,

He wants to be commander in chief of a country he blatantly violates the National flag of!

I agree with Doc, I do not believe he can prove to be a natural born citizen of this country and should not be allowed to run as per our constitiuion. What the hell, if he can get away with it then let us vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The dichotomy of coke and pepsi misses the middle of pure mountain spring water. A much better choice.

You do have to give props to monkey man neanderthal Bush for pulling evidence out of his monkey butt evidence that persuaded America's congress not to mention the security council of the UN to approve a war in Iraq. An impressive feat for such a stupid dude.

The only benefit of the war might have been to take a megalomaniac out of power and send that man's son's to Allah. Stoped them from raping the girls next door. Most likely not worth any one's life. Unless your momma was an iraqi citizen.

Haven't you heard, "pure mountain spring water" is actually just filtered tap water, which is actually just Pepsi or Coke without flavour and fizz :D

good one Bill, only you missed the main ingredients of both; CO2, "Phosphoric acid" corn syrup, caffeine and something called caramel color. Damn that sounds as appetizing as some of the ads Obboma has been paying bad money for.

About three months ago my wife and stepson come home from shopping with a twelve pack of bottled so called spring water. Since then every time an empty bottle shows up, I refill it and put it back in the fridge. Like the horn of cornucopia we never run out!

People will pay good money for bottled water yet bitch at the price of gas! Go figure what your paying by gallon or liter for the water, Oh! and don't forget a lot of us have to pay a deposit on the plastic jug it comes in.

Ralph, here "Down Under" there has been a mild backlash at the environmental damage all those discarded water bottles are causing. Millions dumped each year. More people are refilling them too with filtered water.

DrWhat,

A little farther off topic, but your mention of all those plastic bottles brings a story to mind.

About six years ago I made a comment to a home builder friend of mine that I was considering putting new carpet in our guest bedroom.

Next thing I knew; here he comes with a roll of carpet, claimed it was left over from a house he had just finished. He said it was made out of recycled plastic bottles and sold for $7.50 a square yard.

It feels, wears and is easier to keep clean than the higher grade carpet I have in the rest of our home that cost me $24.00 a yard.

If those bottles are causing problems you may want to consider going into the carpet manufacturing business.

TThe first bottled water I had was a little bland so I squeezed some lemon in it. Then it was too tart so I put a little honey in it. Then it was great.

The best pure mountain spring water I had came out of a pipe in a hill a little lower than the timber line. Sweet in both senses. It was worth the trip.

Buying water is like buying wussy. Why buy something you can get for free?

Down in my country we got, in the pasts weeks, the election for mayors and for the local chamber members.
Here one is obliged to vote, by law, but I think that if you don't vote, or erase, morally you'll not be able to complain!
All votes are important!
A guy on TV said: ''the winner will winn by only one single vote... all other votes are just surplus over this single vote, your vote.''
Cheers! M.

Subject: T'was The Night Before Election

'Twas the night before elections, And all through the town
Tempers were flaring, Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe, With a cat in my lap,
Had cut off the TV, Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden, There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window, Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet, They wanted my pay
To give to the others, Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money, And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon, As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen, Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out, To tear my country apart!

"On Fannie, on Freddie, On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi", He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause, And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation, Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think, On this one final note-

IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM, GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
