Budget? We Don't Have No Stinking Budget !

President Obozo unveiled his new budget, including $1 trillion in spending cuts, which Obozo called the most painful choice he's ever made. Then he looked over at Joe O' Biden and said, "OK, the second most painful choice.'" I guess Michelle was happy she wasn't there.

Obozo presented his budget for 2012, though the Congress probably won’t get to it, as they still haven’t passed the budget for 2011. It's politics as usual with democrats and republicans jockeying for political high ground as the economy continues to tank and the national debt continues to rise.

No one wants to cut any area which will affect the 2012 elections. Obozo has suddenly become a centrist due to the November 2010 elections and the republicans, now a majority in the House, are also playing tit-for-tat.

The bottom line is that the government has to cut spending across the board. You cannot spend what you do not have. It's that simple. Obozo's 53 billion dollars bullet train is a blatantly stupid idea. If the democrats and republicans cannot sit down and make the necessary cuts in all areas, including Medicare, Medicaid and Defense, then America is in a world of hurt.

As for Obamacare, today's journal cannot even begin to fit my thoughts about the stupidity of the program.....

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar and Grill: A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My thanks to my pals Pat in the U.K. and Victor for their contributions to today's stories.

A 25-year-old Jewish girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting and crying, the mother says, "Who was the brute that did this to you? I want to know!" Without answering, the girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

Half an hour later, a Mercedes stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair steps out of the car and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them, "Your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life."

He continued, "Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath two retail furniture stores, a deli, a condo in Miami, and a $1,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a chain of jewelry stores and a $5,000,000 bank account."

The distinguished gentleman then said, "However, if there is a miscarriage, I'm not sure what to do. What do you suggest?" There was a silence and then the mother places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "So, you'll try again."

Jesus was wandering around Jerusalem when he decided that he really needed a new robe. After looking around for a while, he saw a sign for Finkelstein, the Tailor. He went in and made the necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein prepare a new robe for him.

A few days later, when the robe was finished, Jesus tried it on and it was a perfect fit! He asked how much he owed. Finkelstein brushed him off saying, "No, no, for the Son of God, there's no charge! However, may I ask for a small favor. Whenever you give a sermon, perhaps you could just mention that your nice new robe was made by Finkelstein, the Tailor?"

Jesus readily agreed and as promised, extolled the virtues of his Finkelstein robe whenever he spoke to the masses. A few months later while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem, he happened to walk past Finkelstein's shop and noted a huge line of people waiting for Finkelstein's robes. He pushed his way through the crowd to speak to him.

A soon as Finkelstein spotted him, he said, "Jesus, Jesus, look what you've done for my business! Would you consider a partnership?"Jesus said, "Certainly, Jesus & Finkelstein it is." Finkelstein said, "Oh no....Finkelstein & Jesus. After all, I am the craftsman." Jesus said, "I understand, Mr. Finkelstein, but I am the son of God."

The two of them debated this for some time.Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful. They finally came up with a mutually acceptable compromise. A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein's shop:

Barack Obama took a jog near the White House and on each run, he happened to jog past a hooker standing on the same street corner, day after day. One day, as he approached the corner, the hooker shouted from the curb, "Hey Barack, a hundred dollars!" Barack fired back, "No, ten dollars!" This ritual between the prez and the hooker continued for several days. He'd run by, she'd holler, "one hundred dollars" and he'd yell back, "No, ten dollars!"

One day, Michelle decided that she wanted to accompany her husband on his jog. As the jogging couple neared the now infamous street corner, Barack suddenly realized the "pro" would bark her $100 offer for all to hear (including Michelle) and he would have to come up with a darn good explanation for his wife.

As they jogged into the turn that would take them past her, Barack became overcome with anxiety on how to handle the situation. Sure enough, there she was - standing where she always did. Barack tried to evade the streetwalker's eyes as she looked up at the jogging executive. Then, from the sidewalk, she yelled, "Hey Barack, see what you get for ten bucks?"

That's it for today my little ducklings. Remember, the human brain is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born, and never stops until you stand up to speak in public. It's hump day and a trip to AREA 51 for happy hour is in order. See 'ya there! More on Friday.
