An old friend once said, “Reality is for people who can’t handle drugs!” 🙂

How a “governments stimulus package” works!
It’s a slow day in the small town of Pump handle and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.
A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
(Stay with this….. And pay attention)
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her “services” on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel Owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town now thinks that they are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee.
And that, my friends, is how a “government stimulus package” works!
(I always wondered how this worked and now we know.)

I have a similar bridge in my district. They have cut off supports such that it could fall at any moment. I wish that is would go ahead and fall so that I could get rid of it. It is closed but it could hurt someone who is stupid enough to violate closed status. I hate to see it go in some respects since I grew up jumping off it.
This Syrizia phenomen is interesting watching the status quo running around like wanka’s chickens with heads cut off.
This tiny bankrupt nation could bankrupt a whole continent all the while ditching NATO and inviting Russia to establish economic, energy and naval ties.
Putin has to be grinning from ear to ear despite the full court press on his beloved country. I don’t think he even estimated the audacity and stupidity of the west.
Greece is the word…
Seeing as that last selection probably bombed, I’ll repost one from a few weeks ago that I think we’ll get sick of in the next month or so….
Or it could become a rally song for freedom…
I figger the Patriots are a shoe in (sorry ipso)…so I looked for songs about Patriots. I found one for your Presidente
Lot’s of Ferguson and Wookie images…even a Malayia
