This One's for You RPM,,,
My first guess is you're out hunting... and have remained untouched by civilization... and like you've mentioned before, unable to comment... Maybe the deer are getting the better of you and your pride is keeping you "busy"...
But just in case you're sitting home in your basement, eating way too many Cheetos, I would like to trow you a lifesaver.... and possibly reel you back in... Here Catch!!
With that, I want to add a "public" apology, for giving you a had time the other day. Although it would be nice if you did make a profile to fit that interesting personality of yours and not be so elusive, it's YOUR prerogative to do so, or not. Either way, we enjoy your company and your comments.. so just so you know... You ARE welcome Rpm... :-)
You Know You're at a Hillbilly's House When....
...You have to stick your finger
in a deer's ass to ring the doorbell.

OBAMA VS. ROMNEY... Funny!!
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GOOGLE:
OBAMA SUPPORTERS VS. ROMNEY SUPPORTERS
So just as we’ll see in tomorrow night’s debate, this election is about choosing between two very distinct choices.
Now since this article was dated a few days ago... I'm sure the results of the google searches are somewhat different. I'm curious so I will do it and post the results here.
OBAMA SUPPORTERS VS. ROMNEY SUPPORTERS
Article dated October 15, 2012
Similarly, I’m generally fascinated by some of the image results Google will spit out with searches. In this light, I decided to conduct a bit of a social experiment. I wondered what image search results for “Obama supporter” would look like compared to those for “Romney supporter.” Would the results be representative of reality? I search, you decide…
An “Obama supporter” search turns up the now-infamous “Obama phone lady,” as well as a half-naked hippie man playing a recorder flute, an “older white Republican” and a topless girl with some strategically placed campaign paraphernalia. (Note: This is a family site so I’ve blurred out a bit of that last one.) The “related” search results also raise an eyebrow:
Meanwhile, here are the top image results for “Romney supporter” — lots of signs, flags and a Rolls Royce:
Have you ever noticed how your Google search results yield a lot more information than you were ever looking for?
For instance: Typing “I once saw” into a Google search bar yields some interesting suggested results:

Obama Failures Largely Ignored by the Press...
President Obama’s Taxpayer-Backed
Green Energy Failures
The truth is that the problem is widespread. The government’s picking winners and losers in the energy market has cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and the rate of failure, cronyism, and corruption at the companies receiving the subsidies is substantial. The fact that some companies are not under financial duress does not make the policy a success. It simply means that our taxpayer dollars subsidized companies that would’ve found the financial support in the private market.
So far, 36 companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.

Barstool Economics
This is so good, and well, perfectly simple and to the point I have to repost it too...
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.00
The sixth would pay $3.00
The seventh would pay $7.00
The eighth would pay $12.00
The ninth would pay $18.00
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.00
So that’s what they decided to do. The men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with arraignment, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you are all such good customers, he said, I 'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.00". Drinks for the ten men now cost just $80.00.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get there "fair share?" They realized that $20.00 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody 's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man like the first four, now paid nothing 100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before! And the first four continued to drink for free.
But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20" declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that’s right," shouted the seventh man, "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in union. We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him, even cursing him for his absence.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! Looking at each other, they began swearing at their absent companion.
And that, boys and girls, journalist and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
Warning: this joke above may be above the capability of the average Democrat to understand {or unless you are completely braindead, you will recognize Barack Obama's position on "soaking those evil rich people", and this may cause random cases of heart failure.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for a beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

I'm Embarrassed ~ Part II
Follow up to my previous "I'm embarrassed" Post...
Thank God not everyone thinks like this, but here is a very typical Canadian reaction after reading opinions of people who don't follow the media blindly....
Then it hit me.. the spending. One thing I know her and her hubby are very bothered by is when our Canadian politicians go on vacation using our dime. So I told her about Camp David and what the Obama's do instead.. like where he was this past weekend... oh now she wanted to bitch... but I doubt very much this would change her opinion because they watch the news for "fact" ~ehem~ bullshit, all the time. And even if I tried to give facts to show what a crappy job he's done so far, and why 4 more years would be a very bad thing, she would explain it away with the blame game as they all do.

I was over at the neighbor's yesterday afternoon. We were talking about general things and she mentions she and her husband watched the debate the night before. I had no intentions of butting heads with her, but I was very curious about her "opinions" ...I guess, of the general population, because all they know about it, is what the media spews out.
She felt Romney "looked" untrustworthy... and she couldn't say his name right ?? And the lady use to be an english teacher for fuck's sake, anyways, that's besides the point. Then she starts to talk about Buh-rock and goes "Well it's true, Obama did what he said he would do, he ended the war, he saved GM, he created new jobs, he was handed a country that was already falling apart, I think he did his best". I pretended to be neutral so she would remain candid... but I had to find at least one thing she could relate to that would make her see some truth instead of his true lies.

Now this is frustrating as hell, but we don't have an election in a few weeks, days.... but you guys do :( and I am very concerned, of what could happen if this man gets another term....
Oooo Tough Guy!!
