“Slow Down”

Spring is just around the corner. Watch out for these little guys crossing the the street.

“I Could Be Wrong by a Few Mills”

The price of Gasoline in America is predicted to go to $4.00. The way the administration is trying to control the world again I’m really starting to be scared. It was $3.55 a gallon here yesterday although I seen a sign for $3.39. Here is the way I figure it. If you go slow and only use your car on work days but definitely not on Saturdays and Sundays and certainty not for vacation you will use an average of $40 dollars a week or $2080 dollars a year. To break it down. It costs $106.50 to fill up a 30 gallon tank. You figure it out. If you do this once a week it will cost you $5538 dollars a year .…Of coarse its times 2 for a 2 car family that works. That will cost $11,076 per year per family…If you are lucky enough to work but work at a low paying job or any of the fast food restaurants or chain department stores you will not be able to drive to work and buy food to eat. It will be too expensive. According to my figures an American Dollar today is worth minus $.75 cents. Like soon it will cost you $2 to buy a $1 dollar bill. Hey, I could be wrong by a few Mills by at this point what’s a few Mills. After Trillion comes Quadrillion. Obama will be spending that soon. Hmmm, I wonder if his mom and gave him a charge card when he was too young. If she did, she must have paid the bills. He thinks those monthly bills will somehow magically disappear. He is all about instant gratification. He knows nothing of the consequences. It seems like he doesn’t care about people and how they live. Congratulations to the first black President and I mean that but that’s all he is, the first black President. Now here we go again, advising a mad man to quit. Huh! He is making waves and not minding our own business. Why doesn’t he put a freeze on the rising gas prices? Why doesn’t he at least talk about that. They hate America now. Just wait.

“You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”

The weather here yesterday was chilly, damp, rainy and unpredictable just like our Government. Our Governor is going around the State trying to convince people that his budget plan is the right way to go. He wants to raise taxes and cut programs…On the Federal side, the U.S. government will shut down on March 4th. Stay tuned for that. That means all federal employees except The President the Senators and Congress will be furloughed. It looks like they will have to get their own coffee in the morning. The Obama administration will somehow pay 35 Billion tax, or newly printed dollars ($35,000,000,000.00) to Boeing Aircraft. To me that’s astounding. They are going to built new refueling tanker planes. They are like new 707’s. Neat huh…Can you imagine the debt he will leave when he’s gone?  And oh yes he will be gone. That’s like you and your wife just got laid off and you are behind on your car and house payments but you go out and charge on your charge card a house full of new furniture. Yes, its good for the workers but bad for the taxpayers. Its insane isn’t it? ….Someone on CNN yesterday said that Osama Ben Laden and Al Qaeda is responsible for the all the craziness in the Middle East. I said that 2 weeks ago…Why is everyone afraid to say that? Its got his finger prints all over it. Its about time these people catch up with reality….While all this is going on. Pakistan has a CIA agent in prison. From what I understand he shot and killed 2 guys who were trying to rob him. Good for him on that. Our Government said to release him because he has diplomatic immunity. They won’t…How much aid would I stop sending to that country? All of it, that’s how much. Its time to send in Black ops and get him out of jail…Just like in Robert Redford’s Movie “Spy Game” I seen a sign for gas yesterday. $ 3.55.9 cents a gallon…..OMG I’m going out of my mind…

“A Trillion Looks Like This”

From what I understand its the greed and corruption in the Middle East is what is causing all the rioting and discord. Here in the United States some of the reasons our Politicians are worried about the economy in the United States is because there is almost no money left to steal here and they are going to get caught with their hand in the till. Its becoming too noticeable if money is missing. Maybe if you see the numbers you will think before you charge anything. A Thousand dollars looks like this $1000.00. Now keep that in mind when I say a Million dollars looks like this.$1,000,000.00 That’s a thousand dollars times a thousand or a hundred thousand dollars times ten. Get the point? A million dollars looks like this. ($1,000,000.00) times a thousand looks like this. $1,000,000,000. 00 That’s a Billion dollars. Today they are talking in the Trillions and that looks like this……$1,000,000,000,000.00 and that’s only one Trillion…
Remember that thousand dollars, $1000. Well, even with America being overcrowded the way it is. I’m sorry but that doesn’t count for much because 30 million (30,000,000) of those people are illegal and don’t pay taxes anyway. It would take a 1000 years or100 life times for each real citizen of America to pay back the kind of money the United States is spending now.
Note… Press one if you can‘t read English, just kidding…All these figures are accurate and correct, give or take a few Billion of coarse…..I mean who really cares? Washington doesn’t. The next time you go the store if things keep going the way there are a half of gallon of 2% milk will cost $ 2.50 that means a gallon will be $5.00 a gallon and if you, never mind you get the point….Just think of the crooked Politian with that stack of $100 dollar bills in his freezer behind the frozen Pizza.

“When Will This be Over”

I have just about had it with this weather. Last week we had a few teasers of sunshine here in Connecticut and I was able to actually walk around outside for a few minutes with just a shirt on. Now its back to bundling up like a freaking Eskimo. Its February 22 and I am starting to feel a little depressed. I want all this dirty snow to go away. Depressed is not the right word though. Its more like I’m feeling sorry for myself and listless. Yesterday I went to breakfast with friends in a snowstorm. I didn’t care. I was not going to sit home and only wish I was out. I went on the highway. Rt. 95 and all the crazy people were going 70 and 80 MPH on that snowy, icy cold road. I always think, what is so important and where in Gods are they going that they have to risk life and limb to get there? Is anyone really going to care if you are a few minutes late in bad weather? I left a little early and was there on time. We all had a good time but its not the same when the Sun is behind those dark gray clouds. It did clear up but I came home right after. I was down and I let myself feel that way at least for the afternoon. Besides I nap better when I’m like that. At about 5 PM I went to gym and walked about a mile and a half on the thread mill. I felt better after that. Someone said we are supposed to have another storm sometime this week. I hate that and when things like this happen and I feel this way. I swear more and as my father used to say I have a “Shorter fuse“. I don’t like being like that. At least I am in touch with my feelings. If someone was here I’d be taking it out on them I suppose. Its takes good weather to bring out the best in me.. The thing is I know that a lot of people feel like this and I take great pleasure in knowing that I’m not alone in feeling like I do…

“Happy Presidents Day”

Presidents day!…Who in Gods name thought of that. I’ll bet a President did.. Did you notice, that the mini riots are starting here in the United States? Here in this country they call them demonstrations. Its starting because of Government spending and there is talk and threats off a Government shutdown. I hear that in places, Police and teachers are being laid off and school programs are being cut and the unions that support them are being attacked. You don’t have to be a genius to know that’s the dumbest thing you could possibly do. What happened to all those politicians you voted for this election that said they were going to fix things. I say, as a gift to the taxpayers, President Obama should donate his $400,000 a year salary to the Roland Burris and Rod Blogovitch family. He should also fire his Secret Service protection and get rid of all the new helicopters and of coarse Air force one, two, three and four. I don’t know what this president is doing to help this country. Sorry but I can’t help it and I don’t mean any disrespect but I don’t think he is the brightest bulb on the tree. We knew Bush wasn’t smart. He went to war because Saddam threatened his father. Remember when he lied about WMD during the State of the Union address. Of coarse you remember the Bush smirk and how he gave all that money to his pals at the oil companies. Now we have Obama and it looks like he has no idea what is happening around him. Is he blind or does he just ignore this stuff thinking he can print money and spend the problems away? Think about this! He came from the most corrupt State in the union, Illinois. Hey, who’s to say? You never know. I don’t know why but I keep thinking he is doing this on purpose. This country is in a bad way and will never be right again because of Bush’s decision making and Obama’s spending. I have an odd feeling that if he wasn’t Black, impeachment talks would be just around the corner. Hey, it could still happen but I don’t think anybody in Washington has the brains or guts to do anything. They are all too busy filling their own pockets. Its funny but when people say things, I can hear the echoes of all the Black people saying its a racial thing. At this point in History I believe that we the taxpayers can NEVER, EVER comfortably pay back the money that the Government is spending now. Its absolutely out of control and no one is doing anything about it. I have never even heard of some the numbers that they talk about…Its outrageous….President Day…..What’s a President? I haven’t seen one in years…The link below is how much money that guy that lives in the White House makes now….Check it out…

“The Implosion of America”

Wait! What’s going on? This thing in Egypt is over. The people won! There is going to be a change in leadership…There will be elections in 6 months. 300 protesters are dead…Happiness again. Yeah right! Don’t hold your breath! I didn’t watch the riots. I don’t even know what the issues were. However, I do know it’s a Muslim country and what happens there is none of our business because we cannot change anything. I do know we have more than we can handle now, here in the United States. I do know, that somehow, someway the United States taxpayers are going to end up paying for all that Insanity. Look at what they are doing now! The Federal Government and the State are raising taxes on people who are already Tax poor and have no jobs. Hold it, that’s another subject. Now, there are riots in Iran. Would you believe, Iran is banning riots and killing rioters? Huh? Isn’t that another Muslim country? Now, There are  riots in a place called Bahrain and the protesters are being killed. The King says he’s sorry. OMG, Did I just say King? There are Riots in Libya where 14 were killed and there was riot in Italy. The only difference is, the riots in Italy are because of a slime ball Prime Minister or whatever he is. Some old guy messing with a 17 year old girl…Lets go back to the to the top of the page. Egypt? I don’t believe for a minute that Morebuick or whatever his weird name is, is gone. He installed a Military leader to his office and left to go to his Castle in some resort somewhere. He has $70 Billon dollars so I assume it’s a Castle. I mean I would have a castle if I had that kind of money but I digress.  He made that General and put him where he is today. He promoted him to a freaking General. They are pals! Elections? When? When he damn well pleases, that’s when. If you have a half of a brain you should be able to figure out that somehow the guy our Presidents have sent American troops to find at the cost of Billions by the way,  Osama Ben Laden has a hand in all this rioting in the Middle East. This looks like the execution a well planned operation by the, guess what? Right, the Radical Muslims. They even have a new name. Would you believe the “The Brotherhood“. I’ll bet you have never heard of that till now. I do know that this group believes in the old way and will make the woman wear the Robes and Burkas. Meanwhile in the U.S. our Federal taxes are going up and they are cutting programs that are needed. In the State of Connecticut gas for your car is going up and the price of food is going up. New Taxes on everything including haircuts and the money you get when you trade your car in…What idiot thinks up these things…What do they do sit in a dope ring and say, “Lets see if we can make the residents of Connecticut more desperate and miserable than they already are.” That means the 300,000 people that get food stamps and are on Welfare in the State of Connecticut will need a raise. That means more donations to the food pantry. Americans don’t like winter riots so the riot or as I call it, the “American Implosion” here will start here in the summer….Stay tuned…

“President For a Year”                                                                                                                     “In Conclusion”
There will be a Ban all television commercials starting immediately. Ban all suggestive material which includes music and video games designed to entice teenagers to be violent, have sex or use drugs. Anyone caught importing drugs from any country into the U.S. will be arrested for attempted murder. This includes the street drug dealers or anybody that has anything to do with illegal drugs. No exceptions. Any drug addict who wants help can have it as long as they deem it necessary. It will paid for in full by the money that will be confiscated from any and all the countries that have drug money in any bank in the U.S. Treatment is free to citizens only. Then I woke up……………..Think this is Extreme and a fantasy? I would be the first one to agree with you. If this or any part of this is done, I believe the smiles you don’t see anymore would come back. There would be less crowded roads and highways. It would be less crowded everywhere. The air would be clean. Can you imagine looking up at night and seeing the stars again? Did you know there is so much pollution that your kids have never seen the stars the way it was? Can you imagine drinking the water out of the faucet in a real glass instead of a plastic bottle? Can you imagine getting gas at your local gas station and seeing a High School kid named John instead of Abdul working the cash register? Can you remember when you heard the name Mohamed you thought of a Heavy Weight Champion instead of a bomb blast somewhere? Gas would be $49.9 cents a gallon the way its supposed to be. People would trust one another again. Families would stay together instead of being torn apart and ruined by drug abuse and teen pregnancy. Honesty and morals would be a mainstay and the thing to do. Love would be what real love is supposed to be about and not just a passing desire for a few years or until you are tired of one another. Marriage would be when, “Through sickness and health” meant just that. The perfect family where Dad works and Mom watches the kids just might reappear. Maybe the kids would be outside playing in the yard instead going on the internet or playing video games. Just maybe a movie would be shown without a gun or death in it. Yes, and to all you people that will say this country was founded by certain principles, your right but most of those principles don’t exist anymore. You are right though, I would be the first to tell you the old words to the Constitution are there but Lawyers and corruption have changed and twisted the words to make them be whatever they want them to be. It seems we are so busy fixing the world problems we are not watching what is happening in our own back yard. Our country is growing faster than our coping skills can handle it. Maybe it would take some tough decisions and limit setting to fix things but right now the United States is not United. Right now, it has no future. If you think it does, you have been blinded by all the lies and manipulation. If the United States continues on the path it is going, well you think about it. Project a little into the future…You will see what I mean and if you don’t, may God bless you. Your going to need it.            L.J. Ferrari
