If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Very interesting indeed

Not much call for WalMarts along the US-50/I-80 corridors.

Pretty sparse where the roadsign says, "Next sign 30 miles."

One could say the same thing about the Adirondacks in NY.

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

This popped into my email the other day and somehow strangly seems to fit here.

Wal-mart Versus the Morons

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than
           Target sells all year. 
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco +
           K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private Employer, and
            most speak English. 
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in
            mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super
            Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will
            occur At a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.


This should be read and understood by all Americans :
           Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!   

 To  all 535 voting members of the Legislature,
           It is now official you are ALL morons:


The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. 
You have had 234 years to get it right and it is   BROKE

 

Social Security was established in 1935.
            You have had 74 years to get it right and it is BROKE.


 Fannie Mae was established in 1938.
            You have had 71 years to get it right and it is  BROKE.


 War on Poverty started in 1964.  You have had 45 years to get it right;
            1$ trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" . They want MORE.

           
 Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.    You have had 44 years to get it right and they are BROKE.

 
Freddie Mac was established in 1970.  You have had 39 years to get it right and it is BROKE. 

The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has
       ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever
       before.  You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal FAILURE.


You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars. 

       AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU
       CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN
       HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??


     You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for
     suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to Fix the economy.
