No, don’t get too excited! Just here for some training…this month, next month and wrapping it all up the first week of December.

I’ll have to either cast my ballot for President early…or through the mail. Not that it makes much difference…Texas is clearly so far over the line McCain…..Obama’s not even going to bother to try and sway us.

See you on the high ground…wish me luck with the traffic. (Thankfully I just picked up a Tom-Tom GPS receiver…THEY’RE COOL!)

Okay…click that link above and come back here when you’re done watching. I’ll bet you can’t watch the whole clip without throwing up a little bit in your mouth!

Again…I have to ask. “Madam Speaker…did you really think that this was going to pump up your peers to vote FOR this bailout?” Sheesh…I almost tried to jump out of the window after hearing this.

Talk about some absolute “doom and gloom!”

Let’s face facts.

1. Not everyone should own a home.
2. Not everyone is going to live in their dream home.
3. Not everyone is a good credit risk.
4. Income IS indicative of someone’s ability to pay back a loan.
5. You can ALWAYS find a cheaper place to rent….but once you walk away from a home, you’re not likely to get into one again anytime soon.

Soooooo….let’s see where this all goes.

I tend to favor Dave Ramsey’s solution…which seems pretty simple.

1. Ease the “Mark to Market” rules that came into being under Clinton the First.
2. Guarantee the bad debts with insurance….don’t assume them.

See you on the high ground folks…

In the most simple terms…we had people in homes that had no business being in the houses they were in.

Can I afford more house than I’m in? Sure…I could probably afford another 1000 sq feet, but I choose to live within my means.

Watch this video…and understand that there are plenty of “villians” to point your fingers at. The question now becomes how do we get out of this?!?!?

See you on the high ground…

Well…I’m working on it. The facial hair that is…

This is all “they” can come up with? Sarah Palin’s hair is out of date?

I wear a flattop most of the time…what does that say about my concern with “high fashion?”

See you on the high ground….

MajorDad1984 NOT Vidal Sassoon

Well excuse us…

I tried to find a counterpart story for Keenan Ivory and Shawn Wayans in WHITE CHICKS but didn’t. Who out there is all that surprised???

Folks…it’s COMEDY. It’s SATIRE. It’s NOT REAL…IT’S MAKE BELIEVE!

See ya on the high ground…

At a recent rural elementary school assembly in Texas , Obama, on the campaign trail, is the featured speaker. Wanting to make
a point discrediting the right to bear arms, he asks the audience for total quiet. He then starts to slowly clap his hands,
once every few seconds, as the audience watches in total silence.

Then he says into the microphone, “Children, every time I clap my hands, a child in America dies from gun violence.”

Then, little Earl, with a proud East-Texas drawl, pierces the silence and says, “Well, dumb-dumb, stop clapping!”

You have to love the honesty down here…

See you on the high ground!

Look at Texas with me just for a second. That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast , and the Red River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it they know what it is. It’s Texas ! Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of Texas in the dirt and he’ll know what it is. What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You might get it maybe after a second or two, but who else would? And even if you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?

In every man, woman and child on this planet, there is a person who wishes just once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride off in a pickup. There is a little bit of Texas in everyone.

Did you ever hear anyone go, ‘Wow…so you’re from Iowa ? Cool, tell me about it?’ Do you know why? Because no one cares about Iowa

Texas is the Alamo . Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out and save themselves, but stayed instead to fight and die for the cause of freedom.

We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and James Bowie and Crockett, and do you know why? Because those men saw a line in the sand and they decided to cross it and be heroes.

John Wayne paid to do the movie himself. That is the Spirit of Texas .

Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Anna at San Jacinto .

Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crockett National Forest .

Texas is breathtaking mountains in the Big Bend .

Texas is the unparalleled beauty of bluebonnet fields in the Texas Hill Country.

Texas is the beautiful, warm beaches of the Gulf Coast of South Texas .

Texas is the shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.

Texas is world record bass from places like Lake Fork .

Texas is Mexican food like nowhere else, not even Mexico .

Texas is the Fort Worth Stockyards, Bass Hall, the Ballpark in Arlington and the Astrodome. (guess now the Reliant Stadium, too)

Texas is larger-than-life legends like Michael DeBakey, Denton Cooley, Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Autry, Audie Murphy, Tommy Lee Jones, Waylon Jennings, Janis Joplin, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Landry, Darrell Royal, ZZ Top, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell, Nolan Ryan, Sam Rayburn, Howard Hughes, George H. W.Bush, Lyndon B. Johnson, and George W. Bush and let’s not forget GEORGE STRAIT

PANTERA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texas is great companies like Dell Computer and Advanced Micro Devices AMD, Inc, Texas Instruments and Compaq, Bell Heilocopter And LOCKHEED MARTIN AEROSPACE, Home of the F-16 Jet Fighter and the JSF Fighter.

Texas is NASA.

Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops.

Texas is home to the most amazing sunsets of gold over an empty field.

Texans have pride like no others.

Texas is hundreds of deer running around neighborhoods and fields.

Texas is skies blackened with doves, and fields full of deer.

Texas is a place where towns and cities shut down to watch the local high school football game on Friday nights and for the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and for a Night In Old San Antonio & the River Parade in San Antonio.

To drive across Texas is to drive 1/4 the way across the United States .

Texas is ocean beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and prairies, and modern cities.

If it isn’t in Texas , you probably don’t need it.

Everything’s bigger in Texas !

No one does anything bigger or better than it’s done in Texas .

By federal law, Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly its flag at the same height as the U.S. flag. Think about that for a second. You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland , California , or Maine , and your state flag, whatever it is, goes at 17 feet. You fly the Stars and Stripes in front of Klein Oak High or anyplace else at 20 feet, the Lone Star flies at the same height - 20 feet. Do you know why? Because it is the only state that was a Republic before it became a state.

Also, being a Texan is as high as being an American down here. Our capitol is the only one in the country that is taller than the capitol building in Washington , D.C. and we can divide our state into five states at any time if we wanted to! We included these things as part of the deal when we came on. That’s the best part, right there.

Texas even has its own power grid!! … Did I mention Live music capitol of the world?

If you are a REAL TEXAN, you won’t even need to be told to pass this on.

No…I didn’t write this, but I believe every cotton pickin’ word of it!

See you on the high ground…
