She rose each morning and went to work
And she kept me with her pay
I was making love all night
And playing guitar all day
And I got apple cider and homemade bread
To make a man say grace
And clean linens on my bed
And a warm feet fire place

Does this mean you were once the girlfriend of a musician?

What do you call a musician who just broke up with his girlfriend? Homeless.

How do you get a musician off of your front porch?
Pay for the pizza.

What do call a successful musician?
A guy whose wife/girlfriend has 2 jobs.

What do you call a musician in a 3-piece suit? The Defendant.

Yes, I’m a musician. I confess! But I never quit my day job over it!

I agree that we don’t need to crush ANY industry right now. We need all the jobs and commerce that we can generate, by any means, if we are to create an economic recovery.

Prosecute criminals in all industries, but don’t kill the industries because of customary abuses.

I don’t know who you are alluding to, frankly.

I rule out Obama as the author of anything.
I suspect you may mean George Soros or some other wizard behind the curtain.
I rule out Nancy Pelosi because I don’t think she’s a gifted bill writer (or anything else)

This leaves me thinking of a ghose writer who can write well and has radical ideas, hence, Bill Ayers.

It certainly wasn’t Hillary!

You make some very good points, with the economy in a shambles now may not be the best time to be making a $1 trillion, or more, gamble! We do need jobs, I don’t think we should be looking to crush the health insurance industry that employs 5 million Americans.

Recalling history should not be taken as an insult.

“Let me get this straight. We’re going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head said he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempts them from abiding by it, signed by a President who smokes and is also exempted, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that’s nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?”

That quote is priceless!

Great article Steve!

A woman brought a very limp duck into a local veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, “I’m sorry, but your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”

The distressed woman wailed, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead,“replied the vet.

“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.

A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill.

”$150!” she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!?”

The vet shrugged, “I’m really sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, But with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now $150.”

Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic

“It is beginning to look as if the various fascists, racists and astroturfers who have been showing up at town halls may have stopped Obama from taking his next step in destroying America. But Obama and his cronies are like those creatures in scary movies; just when you think they’re dead and buried, they reach a hand up from the grave and grab someone’s ankle.

Somebody summed up ObamaCare very neatly. In an e-mail that was forwarded to me, it said: “Let me get this straight. We’re going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head said he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempts them from abiding by it, signed by a President who smokes and is also exempted, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that’s nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?”

As an American who happens to be black, I say to those who are playing the race card in the healthcare debate: Stop it! The very people who do all the hand-wringing about racism are the first to use it to divide us, and we are tired of it.

The racial denigration of those who show up at town meetings as “angry white folks” is disgusting. If anything is “un-American,” as Nancy Pelosi has alleged, it is her describing citizens as Nazis because they do not agree with President Obama. Americans are angrily rejecting the Democrats’ effort to jam government health care down their throats, and their displeasure has nothing to do with race.
