I realize I can get a little too serious at times on the Margarita Lounge. So...today we are going a completely different direction. Check out the following page, courtesy of Scotty "the gun permit owner" Greenough over at the Wysiblog. Make sure to go to the bottom and click on "older entries" for more and more pages of fun. I have been laughing my ass off for five minutes on this one....

A Great Article on Climate Change...
Here is a great article on climate change that everyone should read. Don't worry...it's not one of those over-written 6 pagers that is way too heavy....this one will only take a few minutes to read. Thanks to Mr. Leinwol for the article...

More Stupidity in Washington
Even though I am a loyal Republican, when I hear ideas and comments from Democrats I try to listen and understand. Most of the time I still disagree, but at least I try to see the other side of the story. This week, I have twice been completely floored by the level of stupidity of people. And these are the people we trust to lead our country? This is really scary. Here they are:
1) Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States. A few days ago he told a gathering of AARP members the following: ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend m-oney to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.” Imagine what would happen if a person filing for bankruptcy told the bankruptcy judge this...that he needed to spend more money to stop from going bankrupt. The judge would probably tell him he was a moron. If I was the judge, I would lock the dude up for being loco. Yet the Vice President of the United States seems to think this is an acceptable thing to tell the public.
2) Larry Summers, Economic Advisor to the President. According to Larry, the number of searches on Google for "Economic Depression" has fallen substantially since the beginning of the year. This is Larry's proof that consumer confidence in now higher and that things are getting better. Is this guy crazy? Number of searches on Google? I can't beleive someone who is an Economic Advisor to the President thinks this is somehow an important economic indicator. I have been telling people for months that things are looking better, and I use actual leading economic indicators, as do most respected economists.
Both of these situations are really pathetic. It just shows the American public that Barack Obama has no idea what he is doing...no idea whatsoever. He is cut from the same cloth as the other spend and tax Democrats that have been in Washington for decades. He wants to spend money and he is going to tax the wealthy and the small business owner to death to get the money to spend. He is not the "change" that everyone voted for last year (as I have repeatedly said)...he is just another politician pushing his own agenda.

Death of the Democrats?
This article could spell the beginning of the end for the Democrats in Congress. A huge TAX increase on the wealthiest Americans during a historical recession. Nothing stinks worse that this bill. Tax the wealthy (meaning small business owners in many cases) to fund a joke of a government-run health care system. The tide may have finally turned. I really never thought the Dems in Congress could shoot themselves in the foot so quickly...

A Strange Happening at the Margarita Lounge
I just had to let everyone know about this as it is the oddest thing that has happened at my house in a long time. Call it a "LOST" moment, but this is a 100% true story about something that happened two hours ago in my house....
It was almost 8pm and Zach is getting ready for bed. Dawn was reading a story to him in his room, they were both sitting on the floor. As I walk into Zach's room, I notice there is a football card on the floor right outside his door. As I am not a football card collector, I thought it was rather odd as I have NEVER seen a football card in my house in almost 6 years of living here. But I didn't actually bend down and pick it up...all I noticed was "Titans" across the top of the card. As Dawn leaves the room she picks up the card and we notice it is a 2004 Steve McNair card.
I have had the heebie-jeebies ever since. I mean...what are the chances of this happening? I have since found out that the card was in one of Zach's books that he just got from John Renko within the last week or two. But what are the chances of this card falling out of a book and onto my floor a few hours after McNair was found shot to death in Tennessee? Weird to say the least...
