  1. There is alot of "what ifs" going around about the game. What if that one second was gone and Nebraska beat Texas. What if Colt did play, there is no way of knowing what the outcome would have been. The game was played the way it was and now it is in the history books. Like it or not but Alabama is the 2009 National Champions.

  11. Man that was some kind of storms that we had last night. I have heard that the death total is now up to 50. It got bad on the east side of the county that I live in but I don't think nobody got hurt from it. Strand weather we are having for Feb.
  12. WOW! Can't believe that the Giants won, great game they deserve it.
  13. I'm going thru withdraws, man I am going to miss football after the super bowl. At least I can watch the NFL Network, that will help some, I hope.

  16. Yes I was, thats was just terrible, should have kicked her off the stage. This country is going to the dogs. One things for sure we will have our first black or first women president this time.
  17. This is too true to be funny !! The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases. A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959. B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. E. A bill ion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple di vision . . Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orlean s . Interesting number, what does it mean? A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528. B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787. C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012. Washington, D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken?? Tax his land, Tax his wage, Tax his bed in which he lays. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes is the rule. Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirts, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think. Tax his booze, Tax his beers, If he cries, Tax his tears. Tax his bills, Tax his gas, Tax his notes, Tax his cash. Tax him good and let him know T hat after taxes, he has no dough. If he hollers, Tax him more, Tax hi m until he's good and sore. Tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he lays. Put these words upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom!' And when he's gone, We won't relax, We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!! Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Ta x Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Inventory Tax IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax), IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax), Liquor Tax, Luxury Tax, Marriage License Tax, Medicare Tax, Property Tax, Real Estate Tax, Service charge taxes, Social Security Tax, Road Usage Tax (Truckers), Sales Taxes, Recreational Vehicle Tax, School Tax, State Income Tax, State Unemployment Tax (SUTA), Telephone Federal Excise Tax, Telephone Federal Universal Service Fe e Tax, Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Tax, Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax, Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax, Telephone State and Local Tax, Telephone Usage Charge Tax, Utility Tax, Vehicle License Registration Tax, Vehicle Sales Tax, Watercraft Registration Tax, Well Permit Tax, Workers Compensation Tax. STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most pr osperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!' And I still have to 'press 1' for English. I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times What the heck happened?????
  18. Yeah I did, bright yellow bikini tops. Thats what I'm talking about.
  19. Just started watching the game and man does Brett look cold. Haven't seen any fans with their shirts off yet.
  20. Dang thats cold. Should be a good game, can't wait to watch it.
  21. I saw this on another forum, has anybody heard anything about this? So all of this has been pasted on here from the other site. Yellowhammer ARTICLE SYNOPSIS: The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration has funded an expensive pay-as-you-drive research, development, and evaluation project with the thought to implementing such a program in the not-too-distant future. Follow this link to the original source: "Six states testing pay-as-you-drive system" COMMENTARY: One can almost hear the lip smacking and see the gleeful hand rubbing of the powers-that-be at the DOT as they mentally calculate how much more in revenue they can bring in with this newly developed GPS and computer-based charge system. The DOT says the motor fuel tax presently generates upwards of $74 billion annually — apparently not enough to feed the ever-growing government appetite for other people's money. But with about 250,000,000 registered vehicles on the road today that average 15,000 miles per year, the sky's the limit as to what they could bring in. Responsible for the equipment that is necessary for mileage tracking are researchers at the University of Iowa Public Policy Center working in Part I of a major study funded by a consortium of federal and state transportation departments. They have developed a basic receiver that would be installed in every vehicle. This on-board equipment would, through GPS, determine the vehicle's position while continuously applying the per-mile charge rate to the miles being traveled through various jurisdictions (counties and states), and store the data in a file. Then monthly, the vehicle would use cellular technology to upload the stored data to a billing dispersal center. The center would then bill the vehicle owner and apportion the revenue out to the various jurisdictions that were traveled through, with payment being made electronically (they're taking no chances) through either credit or debit cards. Part II is the national evaluation portion that includes refining all aspects of this newest approach to taxation. Funded at $16.5 million filched from the taxpayers, the field-testing is presently being carried out in six states for two years time. Along with the field-testing will be a study of user acceptability and reaction. In other words they already know they're going to need a pretty good marketing approach to present this newest intrusion on the liberties and privacy of the American public whilst keeping said public quiet and unsuspecting — and compliant. (You know they'll have to pass laws with heavy fines to keep vehicle owners from tampering with or just plain ripping out the darn things.) They have tried to reassure the public on the privacy issue saying that it's not necessary to store information of where the vehicle is or has been in real time. They'll just keep the meter ticking, take your money, and run. Right! Remember now, this comes from the same federal government who brought you warrantless wiretapping, illegal information gathering, a no-fly list, rendition and torture, so do you really want this equipment in your car? And, they want you to be aware that they might just run a "parallel operation," meaning they will keep the federal gasoline tax for a while and use the mileage taxes at the same time. Makes perfect sense, really, as the fed-gov seldom phases out a tax they've implemented. I'll leave you with their own parting words as to why they want this program implemented: A mileage charge would allow flexibility in pursuing a variety of public policy objectives. This system could facilitate pursuing other initiatives such as congestion pricing, privately operated tollways, lane-specific user charges to encourage carpooling, pricing to encourage use of environment-friendly vehicles and to reflect road damage imposed by different classes of vehicles improved travel demand analyses and a shift of the financial burden for roads from property owners to road users. http://www.jbs.org/node/5710
