the Cat's blog: "Michigan Mistress??"

I still swear real life stories are the best… Let me share what just happened to me… I like Danish with my coffee. Princess and I buy Entenmanns’s often… Well I just went in to get a piece and noticed Princess already opened the box cause I saw the knife on top of the cake. I open the box. Not sure if you notice, or care, but the ends of the Danish normally do not have filling, it is more the “middle” that has the ‘good stuff’. Princess is nearly 60yrs old. Yet when she does “lil girl” stuff it cracks me up… Do you think she took the first piece? You know, from the very end in? Nope… She went right to the good stuff, and cut out a center piece… I have NEVER seen anyone do that my whole life… Yet it cracked me up… As I sit here with my coffee, typing and eating the end of the coffee cake she SHOULD HAVE HAD herself…

How Can they Fool Us Today? Am I the only person who wonders about all this AIG crap and how the BO govt is trying to fool us again? They say “Hey! A little bit of this money went to corporate bonus’s – get mad!!!!” They do not tell you how much money they got in campaign donations… How come no one is demanding all the campaign contributions get sent back??? How come no is wondering why this same government that gave out all the money did not do the Constitution requirement of oversight?? ( Dems – that means they were suppose to manage how it was spent… ) How come no one mentions that Tim Geitner was the person who set up the payout while working in New York??? Yet no that the tax cheat is running the IRS we have to pretend Obama and staff new nothing about it… How about Chris Dodd 1 year ago agreeing the future bonus’s had to be paid out legally and all of sudden he forgets??? Also, Sen. Dodd was AIG’s largest single recipient of campaign donations during the 2008 election cycle with $103,100, according to opensecrets.org. The same Chris Dodd that wanted HIS mortgage to be a gift while Rome was burning and he was saying along with Barney Frank that all is well at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack and those evil Republicans are just trying to stop the poor black people from getting home loans… Credit worthy or not – Now the the Democrats destroyed are entire economy they want to give away trillions of dollars to hide their MULTIPLE BLUNDERS and blame Bush and SOON you are about to have to pay for this… Each and every one of us is going to have our taxes ESCALATE… Hold on to your ass – they are coming after you and your freedoms… You do understand every time they create a new law and a new tax our freedom diminishes?? You do understand that correct??

I know even Democrats love this show and person… He knows his stuff when it comes to money.. You won’t see repeated on the old news media CBS, ABCBS AND NBCBS what he said on the Today show the other day… He pretty much said Obama is DESTROYING AMERICA!! Way to go Democrats… We Republicans who happen to like the Stock Market and our 401 k’s want to thank you for the destruction that Obama is reigning down on us… http://www.madmoneyrecap.com/

A Democrat asked me if we will see another Republican President? I can NEVER give up hope... Democrats ALWAYS do their best in expanding their voting base by using tax dollars to buy supporters... If you are one of the people with your hands out expecting government money - who you going to vote for?? The person who says he will give you more or the person who says he is taking it away???? Democrats gave illegal aliens drivers licenses so they could vote illegally.... Why? To steal elections.... Also they are bankrupting our health system with free health care AND getting on our social security rolls... Social security is going broke because Democrats change the rules that ANYONE can draw from the government.... To buy more voters... You watch -- now they are going to make all the illegal aliens "legal" so they can buy more voters.... They are forcing the welfare rolls to expand on a state by state basis... Why? To buy more voters.... Democrats are not smart enough to see this…. They say “We are just trying to help people….” I was fooled to…. Rush Limbaugh woke me up… Democrats in government don’t give a rat’s ass about you… They care about getting re-elected…. They use tax dollars to buy voters to stay in office… If they really cared -- the problems of the poor and our poor education would have been resolved 50 years ago… Money does not fix these issues – people do… I PRAY people will wake up – I fear a revolution is about to happen again in the USA… Those of us being forced to support those who won’t will eventually give up with the government… If we can not change the direction with our vote- we will find another way…. We are fighting a losing battle because the Democrats are using the courts and our taxes against us, and too many people have their hands out…. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

HOW LONG DOES THE USA HAVE ??? This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming. I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it. How Long Do We Have? About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: 'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.' 'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.' 'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. ' ' The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years' 'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith; 2. From spiritual faith to great courage; 3. From courage to liberty; 4. From liberty to abundance; 5. From abundance to complacency; 6. From complacency to apathy; 7. From apathy to dependence; 8. From dependence back into bondage Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase. If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. If you are in favor of this then delete this message if you are not then Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, know- ing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom. Thanks for reading.

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, “ROAR,” step, step, “ROAR,” all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

Read Each One Carefully & Think About It a Second or Two 1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. 2. No man or woman is worth your tears, & the one who is, won't make you cry. 3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand & touches your heart. 5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. 6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. 7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. 8. Don't waste your time on someone, who isn't willing to waste their time on you. 9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. 10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. 11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting & just be more careful about who you trust next time around.. 12. Make yourself a better person & know who you are before you try & know someone else & expect them to know you 13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers need to find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well. Wall street, and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and his board of directors gives him a big bonus. Our government should not be immune from similar risks. Therefore: Reduce the House of Representatives from the current 435 members to 218 members and Senate members from 100 to 50 (one per State). Also reduce remaining staff by 25%. Accomplish this over the next 8 years. (two steps / two elections) and of course this would require some redistricting. Some Yearly Monetary Gains Include: $44,108,400 for elimination of base pay for congress. (267 members X $165,200 pay / member / yr.) $97,175,000 for elimination of the above people's staff. (estimate $1.3 Million in staff per each member of the House, and $3 Million in staff per each member of the Senate every year) $240,294 for the reduction in remaining staff by 25%. $7,500,000,000 reduction in pork barrel ear-marks each year. (those members whose jobs are gone. Current estimates for total government pork earmarks are at $15 Billion / yr) The remaining representatives would need to work smarter and would need to improve efficiencies. It might even be in their best interests to work together for the good of our country? We may also expect that smaller committees might lead to a more efficient resolution of issues as well. It might even be easier to keep track of what your representative is doing. Congress has more tools available to do their jobs than it had back in 1911 when the current number of representatives was established. (telephone, computers, cell phones just to name a few) Summary of opportunity: $44,108,400 reduction of congress members. $282,100,000 for elimination of the reduced house member staff. $150,000,000 for elimination of reduced senate member staff. $59,675,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining house members. $37,500,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining senate members. $7,500,000,000 reduction in pork added to bills by the reduction of congress members. $8,073,383,400 per year, estimated total savings. (that's 8-BILLION just to start!) Big business does these types of cuts all the time. If Congresspersons were required to serve 20, 25 or 30 years (like everyone else) in order to collect retirement benefits there is no telling how much we would save. Now they get full retirement after serving only ONE term. Now ask yourself, where could you find a job with those types of benefits? You CAN'T! IF you are happy how the Congress spends your taxes, then just disregard this message
