Bush Raises Taxes On The Farmers To Reverse The Trend

I found this interesting graph floating out on the internet. I suppose it explains why we were unable to fight off the Twin Towers hijackers armed with $3 boxcutters. From Bush's proposed budget, it looks like he wants to turn the country back 100 years. This has got to make our anti-education, anti-community, anti-union, anti-debate friends at the ontheborderline.net blog site happy.

Times are tough over at OTBL. They've adopted a skinny dog as their mascot. Conceal and carry didn't passed. I received an e-mail from one Husker who was kicked off their site for trying to introduce a little debate. Their were only able to get one puppet to run for the Hudson school board. A handful of like-minded skunks from New Richmond have been invited to lift their tails up OTBL. The admin still blocks my computer from accessing their site. The Mudslinger still drives them up the wall with his letters to the editor. Mustard is still their least favorite veggie.

So blog on dude!
