Pulling Out

You may have read about Barack Obama and his road show leaving North Dakota. It was reported he has 11 offices and about 50 staff. Recent polls show he has no chance of winning the state. Rasmussen reported on September 10:

“Like neighboring Montana, North Dakota has become a lot friendlier to John McCain in the first polling conducted since Sarah Palin was nominated to be the Republican Vice Presidential nominee.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of North Dakota voters shows McCain with a 14-percentage point lead over Barack Obama, 55% to 41%.”

So, being a kind and considerate person, and since most of the Obama staffers here in Montana are from out of state, here’s a map to make your soon-to-be exit out of Montana easier.

Hint: Take an interstate – it’s faster.

I’d like to be the first to say, “Thanks for visiting. Maybe we’ll see you back here in eight years.”

I need a bailout, too!

Wow. $700 billion dollars.

Dear Max, Denny, and Jon:

Hey guys – I could use a bailout, too! I need a lot less than $700 billion. Maybe you guys could have the Feds print about $1 million for me? I would happily go away. If that’s not feasible, I could “survive” on half a million. It would be tough, but I would suck it up. No more cheap hamburger, Mac and cheese, and tuna for this boy! The government cheese would go, too. I could also buy a new Sony TV!

If you don’t help ME, I will not vote for you.

Sincerely,

Jack

It’s an election year and the Government is handing out money like a candidate throwing candy in a Fourth of July parade.

Someone asked me the other day, “Why is the government doing this?” Quickly putting on my economy hat (it’s small and does not fit well) and my political hat, I said, “It’s an election year and they are basically paying for votes and these companies have several donors who gives money to candidates.”

Look for Congress to quickly address this issue because it’s an election year. Since the Democrats control Congress, look for a few more billion to be added to “help the downtrodden.”

This whole mess sucks.
