Decisions, decisions. Oh and I need to go to the grocery store. The Vette's oil needs changed but I need a lift. Bathroom needs cleaned too. I need a husband to rent.


YOU SHOULD FOLLOW MY STATED LEAF POLICY: MOTHER NATURE MADE THEM FALL THERE AND THERE THEY BELONG. SHE HAS HER REASONS AND IT'S NOT NICE TO MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE.

DARLING WIFE HAS YET TO BUY INTO THIS POLICY, BUT IT REMAINS IN EFFECT, EXCEPT FOR THE WALKS AND PATIOS. SHE USUALLY GIVES UP AND HIRES HER RAKING DONE, WHILE I CHIDE HER FOR HER EXTRAVAGANCE. SHE IN TURN MAKES SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE ANATOMICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, A REPLACEMENT SEEMS CALLED FOR.

IF THIS GUY CAN'T TUNE IT I DESPAIR OF FINDING ANYONE THAT CAN. ALL HE DOES IS CORVETTES AND HIGH PERFORMANCE STUFF. GOOD THING HE WANTS THAT PISTOL. ;) GOT SOME MINOR STUFF NEEDS DOING ON THE '87, MAY CAN COMBINE IT ALL FOR ONE SWELL FOOP IN A TRADE.

YEAH, WEIRD I THOUGHT, BUT THAT WAS WHAT WAS ON THE LITTLE SCANNER THINGY.

IF I HAD KNOWN HOW "MODDED" THE CAR WAS I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. KIND OF A PIG IN A POKE. GOT IT FROM A DEALER AND WAS NEVER ABLE TO LOCATE THE PO.

BUT IT LOOKS GREAT (I'VE EVEN BECOME RECONCILED TO THE CHROME WHEELS) AND NOW IT'S RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP. DAMN LIGHT, I MAY HAVE TO RESORT TO THE BLACK TAPE SOLUTION.

SO,GOT THE CAR BACK TO TULSA FOR A SCAN. NO CODES SHOWING, LIGHT STILL ON. MECHANIC'S HYPOTHESIS IS THAT THE MASS AIR SENSOR IS ONLY MARGINALLY ADEQUATE FOR THE ENGINE SETUP, THROTTLE BODY, CAM, INJECTORS, ETC, AND ALLOWS THE MIXTURE TO GO TOO RICH OFF AND ON. NO HARM DONE, EXCEPT THAT DAMN LIGHT. WANTS ME TO TRY GOING IN "DRIVE" WHEN IN TOWN & UNDER 50 MPH TO SEE IF THAT WILL KEEP THE LIGHT OFF. SO FAR IT'S STILL OFF & ON. WE SHALL SEE.

TOY CAR BUDGET IS EASED SOMEWHAT, AS I FIND THAT I HAVE A STAINLESS STEEL PPK THAT HE WANTS. BARTER IS ALIVE AND WELL IN OKLAHOMA.

HAD A LITTLE RAIN LAST NIGHT, QUARTER INCH, JUST ENOUGH TO LAY THE DUST. (AND THE LEAVES) SUN OUT NOW AND HEADED TO 60 FOR A HIGH.

TOOK THE YOUNG COUPLE DOWN THE ROAD OUT FOR SUPPER LAST NIGHT, DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE WITH TWO DELIGHTFUL LITTLE KIDS. THEY ARE A GREAT ADDITION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DO HAVE GREAT NEIGHBORS OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY.

YIKES, WE'RE COVERED UP. LEAVES EVERYWHERE AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. GOT 13 TREES IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE HOUSE, MOST WHITE OAK WITH A COUPLE OF ELMS AND DOGWOOD, BRADFORD PEAR, REDBUD IN THE MIX. THE OAKS PERVERSELY REFUSE TO DROP THEIR LEAVES AT THE SAME TIME, JUST TO PROLONG THE MISERY.

SUNSHINE AND HIGH 50'S TODAY, GREAT FOR FOOLING AROUND OUTSIDE.

ARRRG--STILL WAKING UP AT 0500. INSUPPORTABLE SITUATION.

29 DEGREES, OUR FIRST FROST, BUT THE SUN IS SHINING SO ALL IT WELL. I'M ALL CAUGHT UP ON WHAT DIDN'T GET DONE DURING THE THREE DAYS OF GUNSHOW. THINK I'LL LOAD UP SOME .38 SHOTSHELLS.

AFTER THREE DAYS OF DRAGGING MYSELF OUT OF BED AT 0500 TO GO TO TULSA TODAY I COULD SLEEP IN. YOU GUESSED IT, WIDE AWAKE AT FIVE.

PRETTY FAIR SHOW, WHAT I EXPECTED TO SELL DID NOT GO AND WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SELL DID. YOU CAN JUST NEVER TELL. DID GET RID OF THE BIG STAND ALONE CASE KNIFE DISPLAY CABINET WE HAD ACQUIRED WITH THE ESTATE OF A KNIFE COLLECTOR. I WAS REALLY GLAD TO SEE THAT GO; DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO LOAD IT AGAIN.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER PRETTY DAY COMING UP, GREAT FOR A CATCH UP DAY.

35 DEGREES THIS MORNING, BUT THE SUN IS SHINING. THAT MAKES EVERYTHING OK.

SPEAKING OF OK, BIG HURRAH IN THE STATE OVER SCHOOL EVALUATIONS. In 2012, Oklahoma joined the dozen or so other states using an A-F grades for public school accountability, and just as in several other states, the grading methods quickly became the source of controversy.

APPARENTLY A-F IS GOOD FOR THE KIDS BUT EVIL FOR ADMINISTRATORS. WHEN ABOUT HALF HIS SCHOOLS GOT F'S THE TULSA SUPE OF SCHOOLS ANNOUNCED THAT THE RATINGS WERE "flawed and completely inconsequential."

FUNNY THING, WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL, BACK IN THE DARK AGES, I TRIED THAT VERY ARGUMENT ON MY PARENTS. DIDN'T WORK FOR ME, WONDER IF IT'LL WORK FOR THE EDU-CRATS?

WILL BE NO CODES TILL I GET IT BACK TO TULSA. JUST THOUGHT SOMEBODY MIGHT RECOGNIZE THE SYMPTOMS.

THE PATTERN REPEATED ITSELF YESTERDAY. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TOO DETRIMENTAL, THE BUMBLEBEE IS RUNNING BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS SINCE I GOT IT.

RAINING ON THE CHEROKEES TODAY, CAN'T GET GOING ON THESE GRAY DAYS. TOOK DARLING WIFE TO IHOP FOR BRUNCH; CAME BACK TO FIND A CHIPMUNK TAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUNROOM RUG. THE REST INSIDE THE CAT, I HOPE!

DAMN CAT, A CHIPMUNK DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE AROUND HERE. ON THE OTHER HAND NEITHER DOES A SNAKE. DO WISH SHE'D EAT OUTSIDE THO---

GOT THE '96 BACK FROM IT'S COMPUTER TRANSPLANT THURSDAY. DROVE HOME FROM TULSA, STOPPED AT FT GIBSON TO GAS UP, CAME ON HOME AND THE SES LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I PULLED IN THE DRIVE WAY. GAS CAP, I THOUGHT.

RAN SOME ERRANDS FRIDAY AND SURE ENOUGH, ABOUT THE THIRD START OR SO THE LIGHT WENT OFF. ESTA BIEN.

SATURDAY WENT TO MUSKOGEE FOR CHRISTMAS RECON AND THE DAMN LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN.

SUNDAY WENT TO OKC. AFTER PIT STOP(DARLING WIFE ALONG)LIGHT WENT OUT. THIS WAS THE THIRD START SINCE IT WENT ON. AFTER PIT STOP ON THE WAY HOME IT WENT ON AGAIN.

I NOTED THAT THE USUAL PRESSURE HISS WHEN I TAKE OFF THE GAS CAP DID NOT OCCUR ANY TIME I GASSED UP SINCE THURSDAY.

WHADDA YA THINK?

TOOK THE BUMBLEBEE OVER TO OKC FOR BABY DAUGHTER'S BD. DARLING WIFE MADE THE CAKE THAT IS THE FAVORITE OF ALL OUR KIDS AND WE WENT TO A CAJUN PLACE FOR LUNCH. KIDS HAD PICTURES OF THEIR PIKES PEAK CLIMB. WEIRD CHILDREN, WHY CLIMB A MOUNTAIN WHEN YOU CAN GO AROUND? BRAVO PAPA & HOTEL ALPHA, WE USED TO SAY.

SES LIGHT WENT OFF; THAT CHEERED ME UP CONSIDERABLY. AS I HOPED IT WAS THE GAS CAP.

OFF TO OKC TOMORROW FOR BABY DAUGHTER'S 30TH BDAY. THE OTHER TWO ARE IN THEIR 40'S. LATE DIVIDEND. A "YOU'RE WHAT???" BABY.

You can't lay a hand on them. You just block them . You can't send them home. Wish I could use some of my years as a policeman to handle this. The one thing I can use is to stand there and redirect, redirect and go home after school and drink wine. Lol


THAT IS A DAMN SHAME.

ONE OF MY FRIEND'S WIFE DID SOME PRACTICE TEACHING AFTER SHE RETIRED. SHE WASN'T EVEN ALLOWED TO HUG THE LITTLE KIDS, MUCH LESS GIVE THEM A SWAT WHEN THEY NEEDED IT.

SUN IS SHINING ON THE CHEROKEE NATION TODAY, MAY GET TO ABOUT 70. WHOO WHOO, LOVE IT.

BROUGHT THE BUMBLEBEE (96) HOME FROM TULSA AFTER IT'S COMPUTER TRANSPLANT. RAN RIGHT LIVELY. DAMN "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AS I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHAT A DOWNER. I GASSED UP ABOUT SEVEN MILES FROM HOME SO MAYBE ITS A GAS CAP THING. GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED.

THE SUN IS DOWN SO IT'S THE ANCIENT CELTIC NEW YEARS DAY, SAMHAIN. OUR HEADHUNTING ANCESTORS CONSIDERED THE DAY TO START WITH THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, TO TO THEM THIS IS ALREADY 1 NOVEMBER. ON THIS NIGHT THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD WERE SAID TO BE FREE TO RETURN TO THE MUNDANE WORLD, SO AT THE NEW YEARS FEAST PLACES WERE SET FOR RECENTLY DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS, AS THEY WERE THOUGHT THE MOST LIKELY TO RETURN. SAMHAIN WAS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE FOUR MAJOR HOLIDAYS.

POPE GREGORY, RIGHTFULLY CALLED GREAT, ADVOCATED KEEPING THE PAGAN HOLIDAYS THAT EVERYONE WAS USED TO AND JUST RE-BRANDING THEM CHRISTIAN. SO SAMHAIN, A SORT OF CELTIC DAY OF THE DEAD, BECAME ALL SAINTS OR ALL SOULS OR ALL HALLOWS DAY AND TONIGHT IS ALL HALLOWS EVE. AND THUS WE HAVE HALLOWEEN.

IT IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE OLD CELTIC HOLIDAYS WIDELY CELEBRATED IN THIS COUNTRY, ALTHOUGH IN EUROPE MAY DAY STILL GETS LOTS OF ATTENTION.

AS IS, I SUSPECT, THE CASE WITH MOST CORVETTE NEWBES, I HAVE BOUGHT MY SHARE OF FU-FAWS & GE-GAWS. A LOT OF THEM TURNED OUT TO HAVE ALL THE UTILITY OF MAMMARY GLANDS ON MALE SWINE.

HAVING THE GOOD LUCK TO FALL IN AMONGST THE ‘VETTE GURUS SAVED ME SOME MONEY BY WAY OF COMMENTS BY “THEM THAT’S BEEN THERE”, WHICH I SURELY APPRECIATE.

THE THOUGHT CAME TO ME THAT I SHOULD PAY IT FORWARD BY TELLING OTHER NEWBS THE GADGETS THAT HAVE WORKED OUT FOR ME:

THE QUICK RELEASE REAR HATCH VENT THINGY IS GREAT FOR SUMMER DRIVING. IT LEAVES ABOUT A TWO INCH GAP FOR FLOW THRU AIR IF YOU LIKE DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. IT COMES OFF WITH A TWIST OF THE WRIST IF IT STARTS TO RAIN OR YOU WANT TO USE AC. AND IT SURE HELPS WITH HEAT BUILD-UP WHEN PARKED IN THE SUN. (THIS FIT THE ’96 GREAT BUT NOT SO MUCH THE ’87)

THE WINDJAMMER IS A WORTH WHILE BUY IF YOUR HEAD STICKS UP A LITTLE TOO HIGH LIKE MINE DOES WITH THE LID OFF.

A STATIC CLING TARGA TOP LINER FOR GLASS TOPS. THIS REALLY CUTS DOWN THE HEAT IN THE GOLDFISH BOWL, AND HELPS THE AC KEEP UP ON HUNDRED DEGREE DAYS. IT IS EASY TO PUT IN AND STAYS IN JUST FINE UNTIL YOU TAKE IT OUT.

YOU ALL THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND A WHILE CAN, NO DOUBT, ADD TO THE LIST OF THINGS THAT WORK. US NEUBS NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET SO EDUCATION IS NOT SO EXPENSIVE..

THE OPPORTUNISTIC ARE SCRAMBLING LIKE MAD TO CASH IN ON THIS. TEA PARTY THIS AND TEA PARTY THAT, ALL BEGGING FOR MONEY; MY PHONE RINGS A HALF DOZEN TIMES A DAY WITH THESE.

GOT ONE OF THOSE, ONE OF THE FEW 'VETTE "GADGETS" I'VE BOUGHT THAT HAS PROVEN WORTHWHILE. (THE "WINDJAMMER" THINGY IS ANOTHER) I USE THE VENT HATCH ON MY '96 WITH THE LID ON AND IT WORKS GREAT. I'M NOT MUCH ON BEING TOPLESS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT DO LIKE THE WINDOWS DOWN. ALSO HELPS A LOT WITH HEAT BUILDUP WHEN PARKED IN THE SUN. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR ALL C4'S BUT IS A VERY POOR FIT ON THE '87.

HAVE HAD THE LID OFF THE '87 MOST OF THE SUMMER. (DARLING WIFE AND I LIKE TO TAKE A RIDE IN THE COUNTRY IN THE COOL OF THE EVENING) ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICE THE RIDE WAS A LITTLE "JITTERY", FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD. SINCE IT GOT COOL, I PUT THE TOP BACK ON AND IT SEEM THE JITTERS MAY BE OVER.

QUESTION ONE: WILL HAVING THE TARGA TOP OFF REALLY MAKE A DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THE RIDE, OR DO I HAVE SOME NEW PROBLEM DEVELOPING?

QUESTION TWO: THE SUSPENSION ON THE '87 WILL BOTTOM OUT WHEN I HIT A DIP A LITTLE FAST. SHOCKS, DO YA THINK?

I don't think we want to get on the wrong side of the Jews....Those who bless Isreal will be blessed and those whe curse Isreal will be cursed.....Gen 12:2-3

The Government or anybody else in power sure doesn't criticize the non militant Muslums for holding onto their beliefs and I'm sure they have a few ideas on how they would run this country....


"I have a premonition that will not leave me," wrote Eric Hoffer, America's great longshoreman philosopher, after the '67 war. "As it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us."

I THINK IT WAS POGO THAT SAID "WE HAVE MET THE JEWS AND THEY ARE US."

I don't know how this conversation got around to blaming the Christian's for the mess we are in.....it's not our fault.....and what the hell has that got to do with anything anyway....we are talking about making a Government, whomever is in charge, monitarily responsible and keeping us out of financial chaos. Now do you really think the Obama administration has those ideals in mind? It's about the government not creating a majority of people who are dependent on that government for it's livelyhood. Thus prepetuating the breed....which means those people now in the majority have figured out how to vote themselves a raise..... That means the folks in charge have now guaranteed their job security. Which is totally a form of social engeneering.

WELL, CHRISTIANS AND WHITE PEOPLE ARE AMONG THE FEW IDENTIFIABLE GROUPS THE POLITICALLY CORRECT FEEL FREE TO DENIGRATE AND RIDICULE.

BARRY GOLDWATER WAS THE MAN I SHOULD HAVE VOTED FOR MY FIRST TIME AT THE POLLS. INSTEAD I DRANK THE COOL AID AND VOTED FOR "LANDSLIDE LINDON" WHO SOON SENT ME OFF TO A WAR HE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO WIN.

LOL. A couple of years ago after partially recovering from the free fall of the stock market and because of my age, I moved all my shares of an S&P indexed fund to safety. It was when the Dow got back to 12,000 from the lows of less than 8,000. You see, I looked for indicators of a recovering economy and found few. Next thing you know, everything takes off like gangbusters. I'll never understand investment. The Bear and Bull markets defy logic. The good thing is I got a healthy return on my original investment. Had I stayed put I'd have doubled my original investment. Had I bailed at the low I would have broke even and possibly lost money. When I see where the markets are now, I'd like to have a little whine with my cheese. Be that as it may, I don't know how the hell it got there. I developed a very special skill before I started investing. I was able to pick a stock, watch it rise to impressive levels, then crash and burn before my very eyes. I was adept at picking long term losers. That's why later I let the S&P 500 companies run with my investment dollars. Averaging, for me, was the way to go. And I still screwed it up.


LAS VEGAS IS MUCH SUPERIOR TO THE STOCK MARKET. THERE GOOD LOOKING WOMEN BRING YOU WHISKEY TO DRINK WHILE YOU LOSE YOUR MONEY.

but the far right want to return us to a socialistic dark ages. WOULD THIS BE 1920'S TO 50'S IN STALIN'S RUSSIA?

Women and non-whites loose just about every legal protection that have earned in the last 50 years... gone...NONSENSE!

These people are not trying to decide about important issues like taxes and such, they want to bury their heads in the sand and act like none of these problems exist... when they do. SPENDING AND TAXES IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

Rick Santorum was more concerned about banning porn than fixing the economy. There are far right Tea Party people out there who don't believe that women can get pregnant from rape. I could go on, but the list makes me sick. WHILE ON THE LEFT ALL IS SWEETNESS, LIGHT, AND RATIONALITY?

These are the people who don't want any form of social advancement, unless you are white male... and even tho I am one, I don't want the cards stacked in my favour that way.THERE MAY BE SOME QUESTION AS TO JUST WHAT IS "SOCIAL ADVANCEMENT" DO YOU THINK?

As for the NAZIs, sure the big money came in, but you have to realize, everyone used the term "socialist" to oppose communism, because it sounded better than "fascist dictatorship". And fascists are, by nature, very right leaning conservative, with the left leaning desire for the government to control everything. COMMUNISM AND FASCISM ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN, SECULAR RELIGIONS TO MASK TOTALITARIAN POWER. SIR (OR SAINT, IF YOU WISH) THOMAS MOORE DEFINED GOVERNMENT AS A CONSPIRACY OF RICH MEN. IN MY 70 YEARS I HAVE SEEN NOR READ NOTHING TO MAKE ME BELIEVE THIS IS NOT SO.

But in 1933 Germany, what money there was was being sucked away by the French and the damned war reparations, if that hadn't occurred, there would have not been Hitler; he would have had no real reason to exist. TOO TRUE. CHURCHILL WAS RIGHT: IN VICTORY, MAGNANIMITY IS THE WAY TO PEACE.

As for today, Obama is the victim of perception as much as outright hatred. Do I approve of all of his policies? no, I don't, but I do think the administration has been screwed over by the far right. THE FAR RIGHT NEVER HAD A CHANCE; THE ADMINISTRATION KEEPS SCREWING ITSELF AND THEY ARE STILL WAITING IN LINE.

Case in point, Bush starts the wars in Iraq and Afgan, and here we are, watching the right blame him for all the losses there and why haven't we gotten out yet. Can you say "hypocrites?" I BELIEVE THE ALLEGED PERPETRATORS YOU SPEAK OF ARE MOSTLY ON THE LEFT.

As for budget, the POTUS has submitted budgets, the house won't discuss until ACA has been defunded. I call that a game of chicken, and neither side will negociate. The GOP refuses to budge on their stand, and the POTUS, who actually has the law on his side - SCOTUS has even declared is constitutional - won't budge. SOUNDS QUITE POLITICAL DOESN'T IT?

Many years ago, Barry Goldwater said:

"On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both.
I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?
And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of "conservatism."

- Speech in the US Senate (16 September 1981)

And:

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

- Said in November 1994, as quoted in John Dean, Conservatives Without Conscience (2006)

Mr Goldwater was right then, he is dead nuts on, now.

The problem is that the far right has forced the far left into a holding pattern... if the far left keeps conceding points, then the far right wins outright and we end up with one party. That is even worse than the mess we have now. I'D SAY WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE ONE PARTY NOW, THE BIG GOVERNMENT PARTY. THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY YOU CAN MAKE THE REPUBLICANS LOOK GOOD IS TO COMPARE THEM WITH THE DEMOCRATS.

And as far as national debt goes? Well, the GOP invented deficit spending with Reagan in 1981... it was a good idea for a short term fix, but for a long term way of life, it's wrong and keeps growing the debt. THERE WAS NO DEFICIT SPENDING, NO NATIONAL DEBT BEFORE 1981? NOW THAT'S A REVELATION!



I don't want to hear the GOP crying about the debt problem they initiated 30 odd years ago. YA THINK MAYBE THEY HAD SOME HELP?

BACK TO THE FIFTIES? WONDERFUL IDEA! AMERICA'S GOLDEN AGE, TURNED TO DROSS BY THE POLITICAL LEFT.

IF WE ARE TO TALK NAZI IT WOULD BE WELL TO REMEMBER THE NSDAP WAS A SOCIALIST PARTY. THE INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIALIST POLITICIANS AND BIG MONEY OUTFITS LIKE IG FARBEN, KRUPP, ET. AL. THAT TOOK PLACE IN 1930'S GERMANY IS BECOMING EVIDENT HERE AND NOW.

TEA PARTY PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DRIVE, WHO TO ASSOCIATE WITH, NOR IT WISH TO TAX THE VERY AIR YOU BREATHE. THEY WANT TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES.

THAT IDEA SCARES HELL OUT OF OUR NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY.

THE THOUGHT'S OF CHAIRMAN BILL:

ITEM: IS ANYONE REALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THAT THE PRC WISHES US WELL?

ITEM: OUR CONSTITUTION/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS NOR POLITICAL PARTIES. PARTY POLITICS IS MOST LIKELY INEVITABLE. STRICT TERM LIMITS CAN HELP CULL OUT PROFESSIONAL POLS.
TERM LIMITS HAVE REALLY BEEN GOOD FOR OKLAHOMA. JUST HOW YOU IMPOSE THEM ON THE BIG $$$ MOB IN DC, WELL, THAT'S BELLING THE CAT.

ITEM: IS ANYONE REALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THE BIG "INVESTMENT BANKS" MEAN WELL FOR ANYONE OUTSIDE THEIR EXECUTIVES AND BIG FINANCIAL BACKERS?

ITEM: A TWO PARTY SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WHEN ONE PARTY OWNS THE MEDIA.

I can take it to the shop and use it up there on the chat area out back too. Still figure

THE VERDICT IS IN: JUST RIGHT. THIS ALL STARTED BECAUSE I THOUGHT MY '87 WITH STOCK SUSPENSION WAS SO MUCH MORE SURE FOOTED THAN THE '96. NOW THE '96 IS MO' BETTA THAN THE '87.

THANKS TO ALL YOU GURUS WHO GOT ME HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

BARS PUT ON TODAY. TOO WET TO DO MUCH DRIVING, BUT I THINK I MAY BE AT THE GOLDILOCKS POINT WITH THE SUSPENSION NOW. THE BILSTEIN SPORTS AND Z51 BARS WITH THE OEM SPRINGS SEEM TO BE "JUST RIGHT" FOR ME.
