Blood Pressure Rise

Political Caused Medical Problems

I was watching, what was called a televised Republican Caucus on Gavel to Gavel yesterday.  There was a discussion of the Pay Raise the Legislators were getting this year, which of course was recommended by a committee they set up last year to do such a thing.   The resulting discussion made my head explode.  We should make them pay back every damn dime they have gotten so far.  And kick them all out the very next election.  Greed is rampant, said Chance when he stopped by for a bite to eat.  He was watching me as my head exploded from the BS I was hearing from these politicians crying they can't afford to be in Juneau without a raise.   The very next discussion was that they don't have enough time to do the work they are suppose to be doing so a special session will be needed.   

State Capitalism

Contradiction of Terms

I don't understand, said the old squirrel.  How did we get into this state of affairs whereby the government is bailing out Banks, and Big Business, and the rich suits who ran it all into the ground continue to be in charge.  Unfettered capitalism with the keys to the public treasury isn't what our founding fathers had in mind I don't think.

He Really is Worried

He showed up on the Feeder

The old squirrel must have been worried about the lack of Sun Flower Seeds, he showed up on the feeder tonight and ran the Flyers off.   

Economy Runs Cold

The News on the Economy is about as frosty as this old Squirrel

How far do you think it will fall said the old squirrel?  How far what will fall I asked.  He said the stock market.  It's tanked two days in a row.  I said, it doesn't matter to me.  Heck I'm broke already anyway.  Now, that statement really worried the old squirrel.  He then looked at me and asked.  How many bags of sunflower seeds do you have stashed away?
