If you are anything like me, you are sick and tired of the state of our economy.  I am tired of the so called bailout plans that fix nothing.  We are giving the money grubbing groups of America more money to waste but yet there is no end in sight.  I am going to stand behind Obama but there has to be a time that everyone says that enough is enough.  As American’s we have sat to the side while banks, governments and over-paid executive’s have changed the way we live and act.  You can see it everywhere now; TV, magazines, radio and the Internet.  I remember when I was a kid and the Sears catalog women’s section and the Nation Geographic were as close as you could get to TnA unless you got a hold of nudy magazine.  Now we get Adam and Eve, Frederick’s of Hollywood and Victoria Secrets in the mail that could send a teenage boy into the bathroom for a masturbation marathon.  The same can be said for how we react as a society to how rules/regulations change and we just sit there and accept it…even if it hurts us.  Look around and listen to people, we bitch about everything but do nothing about it.

What would happen if the general public showed up in Washington DC and told our own government that enough was enough?  What if we told Obama that we do not want a stimulus package, we want you to use that money for education and small/medium businesses?  You would a new American Revolution on your hands, that’s what!  Is that what it would take to set the ship right?  Maybe.  Maybe what is needed is a solid 12 step program to save America once and for all.  Everyone that knows me understands that I am for the person who can fix things.  I am not Republican, Democratic or whatever else there is to be.  I am an American with a dream of a better place for my children.  I am an American that is for helping others without hurting anyone in the process.  Not many people know this but I have a pretty powerful friend in a pretty good place and his name is Newt Gingrich.  Do not ask how we met or why I would be friends with him.  The man has as many good ideas as some different ideas.  You may not believe in this man or want to listen to him, but maybe if you took 10 minutes to read the following, you might think a little different about him.  We have come up with a 12 step program that I feel is going to work, if it can be accepted.

Washington solutions of more money for more government, more power for politicians, more debt, and more bureaucrats will not lead to real growth in jobs and prosperity.

We need a clear and decisive alternative that creates jobs and rewards work, saving, and investment.

12 American Solutions for Jobs and Prosperity

Payroll Tax Stimulus.  With a temporary new tax credit to offset 50% of the payroll tax, every small business would have more money, and all Americans would take home more of what they earn.
Real Middle-Income Tax Relief. Reduce the marginal tax rate of 25% down to 15%, in effect establishing a flat-rate tax of 15% for close to 9 out of 10 American workers.
Reduce the Business Tax Rate.  Match Ireland’s rate of 12.5% to keep more jobs in America.
Homeowner’s Assistance. Provide tax credit incentives to responsible home buyers so they can keep their homes.
Controlling Spending So We Can Move to a Balanced Budget.  This begins with eliminating Congressional earmarks and wasteful pork-barrel spending.
No State Aid Without Protection From Fraud.  Require state governments to adopt anti-fraud and anti-theft policies before giving them more money.
More American Energy Now. Explore for more American oil and gas and invest in affordable energy for the future, including clean coal, ethanol, nuclear power and renewable fuels.
Abolish Taxes on Capital Gains. Match China, Singapore and many other competitors. More investment in America means more jobs in America.
Protect Our Right to Vote in the Workplace. We must protect a worker’s right to decide by secret ballot whether to join a union.
Replace Sarbanes-Oxley.  This failed law is crippling entrepreneurial startups.  Replace it with affordable rules that help create jobs, not destroy them.
Abolish the Death Tax. Americans should work for their families, not for Washington.
Invest in Energy and Transportation Infrastructure. This includes a new, expanded electric power grid and a 21st century air traffic control system that will reduce delays in air travel and save passengers, employees and airlines billions of dollars per year.

Letter from Newt:

Dear Myke,

To his credit, President Obama said this weekend that “the American people know that our challenges are great.  They don’t expect Democratic solutions or Republican solutions - they expect American solutions.” We agree with that sentiment.

But this big government, pork-laden spending bill is not a solution. It is not change we can believe in. It is debt we can count on and wasteful spending we will have no control over.

Of course, Washington will never change unless we demand something different. We must present a clear and decisive alternative that contrasts starkly with the 778 page, almost $1 trillion debt package being voted on in the U.S. Senate.

The job creation engines of our economy are our small business men and women, our innovators and entrepreneurs. The consolidation of money and power in Washington will only make their job harder.

Here is what you can do: Read and understand this plan. If you support it, endorse it and become an advocate now. If you don’t, then let us know how we can improve it.  Our jobs, our prosperity and our place in the world are at stake. We cannot afford to cripple future generations with massive debt.  Please read the plan, endorse it, and forward it to your friends and family.

Your friend,
 
Newt

P.S. If you have not already called your Senators to oppose the stimulus bill, it’s not too late. You can still make your voice heard.

As if winning the election was not enough, now Obama has a new job…cleaning up the streets in the name of justice.

Yes folks, that is right.  Obama is now a action figure equipped with numerous weapons.  He has a katanas, 9mm gun, assault rifle, and a lightsaber.  Now all we need is a video of Obama dueling the Star Wars kid on youtube.com.  Man, what will we think of next?

Facebook is great and all but whoever started this damn 25 things, should be strung up and stoned in the crotch.  I know folks, you like passing along questions to have folks fill them out but come on…really???  Why could this not be accomplished by…oh I don’t know…email or a phone call to one another?!?  That whole thing was like a homework assignment for the bored and unemployed.  The next thing you know they will create a movie about Facebook…oh wait, that is already in the works.  Maybe they will create a reality TV show about Facebook and the Wonderful 25 things…I will shoot you if you do…and I am a damn good shot folks.

I am also not the only person that hates this and thinks it is the biggest waste of time and money (because you know damn well that people are filling this out at work).  It has been said that as of today, roughly 7.25 million of these things have been filled out.  That is 181,250,000 awesome facts.  Let’s take a stab and say that about 50% was done at work, that is 3,625,000 of these things filled out and at an average wage of $8.50 per hour…that is a whopping $30,812,500!  Holy crap people!  Really?!?  And people wonder why companies have to lay people off.  It is because of crap like this and employees wasting time and not getting their DAMN JOB DONE!

I found a story about a woman who is encouraging women to feel good about being naked.  I was drawn in on the title alone.  :-)  So I read and read some more and decided that maybe we should all feel good about being naked.  I am not saying we should run around and streak, but if we have good self esteem then maybe our love lives and relationships would be better.  Guys, how many times have we been asked those dreaded relationship questions?  Honey, do you still find me attractive?  Sweetie, am I getting fat?  Oh man, I am getting fat aren’t I?  These are typical questions from the female species and they are all about feeling better.  They like to hear that from us guys.  Well some of them like ot hear it from other women but you get my point.

I know everyone wants to look great and feel great but in all actuality, it is just a mind set.  If you feel great inside, then you will feel great outside.  If all you do is feel like you are a disgusting cow/pig then guess what, it will reflect on the outside how you feel.

I understand that society in general is all about the skinny and beautiful women and muscle bound bronze beefcakes.  But guess what folks, that is usually the part of society that is the worst and by far the dumbest.  I personally like a lady with some meat on the bones but not a whole side of beef if you know what I mean.  Guys, just because you have ripped muscles and a bronze tan does not mean you own the world.  I decided to what what guys are looking at and what chicks are looking at over the last 3 months and it was actually pretty funny.

I noticed that just because a guy may look at a woman and think, “Damn, she is hot”, does not mean he is going to go after it.  I took notice that most men like a woman that appears to eat well and dress well and on top of that, have a decent head on her shoulders.  I mean come on, there is a reason a stripper is a stripper…education down falls.  There is also a reason that a lot of men have become corn-hole shuckers, to find a man that makes decent money and dresses well.  They are also going over to the hemroid hitman clan because they cannot handle the insecurities of women anymore.  Personally I would rather be with a woman that needs reassuring everyday than to play Captain Caveman with the gerbil hole patrol.

Bottom line folks, if you feel bad about yourself…DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and start feeling better about yourself.  Stop putting yourself down and enjoy yourself.  Start enjoying life now as opposed to wondering what it would have been like when you get old and nasty.  :-0

No matter how beautiful he/she is, just remember that someone…somewhere is sick of their s**t!

So if you are wondering what the story was, here you go.  Dr. Reinhold signing off.

Why women should feel good naked
