SMALLER GOVERNMENT

I have a few suggestions for solving our debt crisis. Eliminate on the Federal level, The Department of Education, The Department of Energy, The Department of Transportation, The Department of Interior, The Department of Agriculture, The Department of Commerce, and the EPA, ATFE, along with other Departments and agencies that have been ineffective and a detriment to our Country. Have a consumption tax to fund what is required by our Constitution.

ROLLER SKATES

When I was young, my uncle gave my brother and I skates his daughters had out grown. They were skates that came from Sears and Robuck, J.C. Higgins. These skates clamped on your shoes with a key, in our case boots. Sometime we would have to move the hog rings over to get the skates to fit. The only place we could find to skate was the grainery beside the milk barn. It had a hardwood floor, when we moved the sacks of feed against the wall we had a 10'x12' skating rink. We were not the best skater's in Tennessee, but we were the best in Hurdlow.

EAT YOUR PEAS

Eating our peas, as our President said would be good for the Country. This is unfortunately campaign talk and is not backed with a specific proposal. Our President, and other Democrats want us to eat watermelon that is mostly sugar- water.

SWAP

If ICE and the TSA would swap the country would be better secured. ICE could profile potential passengers on airplanes. They could look at them, and ask them questions to see if they were suitable to fly. The TSA could be posted on our Southern border, they could ask everyone for picture ID, and pat them down. Maybe we should think about swapping the ATFE and FEMA. FEMA has many restrictive regulations before food and shelter can be provided. ATFE provides guns to Countries with no strings attached.

TRACTOR

In the summer when we cut hay we needed an extra tractor at PaPa's, and I was driving one to his house from our farm. The tractor was a 720 John Deere gas burner, and it burned a lot of gas. I was climbing Hurdlow hill, almost to the top when the tractor sputtered, it was out of gas. Knowing that Hurdlow store had gas pumps, all I had to do was turn the tractor around, kick it out of gear and coast to the pumps. It wasn't long until the tractor gained a lot of speed, the power steering didn't work, but the brakes did, they were manual and individual. Thing's were going good until I reached the bottom curve. There was a yellow Buick Wildcat on my side of the road, my radiator was dead center with his hood ornament. He cut hard to the right, I hit the right break throwing the tricycle front end almost in the ditch, then immediately hit the left break putting the tractor back in the road. We somehow missed and I still had enough speed to make it to the pumps. Going down the other side of Liberty Hill I normally kicked the tractor out of gear at the bottom curve, this time road gear was fast enough.

USAMA BIN LADEN

Usama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, we are still waiting on the White House to produce a long form of his death certificate. His body was wrapped in a cheese cloth, and salt cured like a Virginia ham in the salt water of the ocean. Can you imagine the surprised look on his face when he reaches the after life, and discovers seventy two Virginians waiting on him.

STATS

Recently I discovered the stats on my blog, fourteen countries have viewed my writings. I was first excited, then worried, all the countries were not friends with the United States. I may be in danger of being radicalized! To prevent this from happening I will continue to eat pork BBQ, it's like garlic to vampires. Even if they try tempting me with seventy-two virgins with fishing boats, I will not be radicalized. Is the fishing better at Gitmo or Chicago? Time for another BBQ sandwich.
