There was an offer just before the election of the Obama coin and the McCain coin. You could purchase one of them or both. I threw the ad away. I didn't want either one. I guess someone is interested in things like that.

Not sure if this is the right place to put this or not, but anyway, I was forwarded the email I'm copying below. I thought it was interesting to think about...
Whoever wrote this one deserves a HUGE pat on the back!)
I (Not the person forwarding you this e-mail currently) HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB. SO I AGREE 100%
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, some of us are required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their rear, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? Something has to change in this country -- and soon!!!!! -

All I have to say is, darlin', don't hold your breath.I think old Burt Prelutsky's conclusions hit pretty close to the mark.

Hillary as Secretary of State!!! He has got to be kidding. It's like inviting Hannibal Lecter to dinner. At least if she is on board the good ship Obama they can all go down together.

The only thing wrong with that scenario is that they will probably take the whole country down with them, Mike. -
I think the US could withstand 8 years of them but hopefully 4 should be enough Jim.

Somebody said something one time that has stuck with me for many years. They said "Always expect the worst. That way you'll never be disappointed". I think there's a lot of truth in that remark.

The one good thing about the Democrats taking power is at least Henry Paulson will be shown the door. He is totally inept, out of his depth and had any morale fibre or decency would have resigned long before now.
His bended knee plea to Nancy Pelosi to approve his bail out plan showed he was out of his head but now he turns around and say the "US is humilated" If he had been at the Alamo he would have been out the door with a white flag with his pants round his knees!!!!
Blame the politicians, Blame the greedy stupid bankers or even try the Treasury Secretary. To think we have 3 more months of him. He make Alaistair Darling (UK counterpart) look like a professional and that is some doing!!! -

Don't quote me on this but when Bush picked Paulson as Treasury Secretary, I seem to recall reading somewhere that he was a Democrat. I'm sure it was either him or Bernanke, the Fed honcho. Or maybe both.
Maybe he has acted so clueless and inept in order to discredit Republicans so badly that they have forever forfeited their hopes of winning back the presidency. -

If he is a secret "Democrat" he has been working with the Republicans in different capacities with every administration since Nixon.
The man is a wimp!!

Well, if the points made in this column are true, let me just paraphrase what Arnold said in "Terminator 1", "We'll be back". :teeth_smile:
Give it time and it will come true. The last President to get Congress to do what he wanted was Johnston and he had the dirt on them all. Other than that Congress will save their own hides on ALL occasions. -

I'm proud to say that the folks in my favorite state know a socialist when they see one - it and Alaska were the only two states in the country where the Head Commissar didn't win a single county.

It sure shows how the heavily populated areas can seriously outweigh the country as a whole. Look at all that red!! Ouch!!
P.S. I'm proud of Oklahoma and Alaska!! Way to go!

Thank you for the Map, I think that Said It All !!!

Obviously, Obama got most of the black and a lot of the Mexican vote, as evidenced by various blue counties in the old Confederate states and in portions of southern Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
What was kinda puzzling to me were the blue counties in northern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. I figure those are Indian reservations, probably Navajo.
You can really see the effects of urbanization in states like New York, Pennsylvania and all those on the Pacific coast. Although large portions of all those states are red (for Republican), Obama carried all of them because he won the heavily populated areas like New York City and Philadelphia in the east and Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle in the western states.
I've been reading political news columns recently relating how some areas of the old Confederacy are even talking secession again following Obama's victory. Obviously, that means there's still a lot of hostility among southern whites toward blacks. -
Pee on compromise - I want ideological purity!
Seems more than a few other people agree with me. -
Stumpy,
Those are Navajo, Hopi and Apache Reservations in Arizona and Navajo in New Mexico !
I could not figure that out myself, so I ask some of the Indians that I know, and they told me that there were Many Indian-Mexican Cross-Breeds that live on the Reservations now because they have to be only 1/4 Indian Blood of that Tribe to live on the Reservations !
And they say that on Indian Land they Do Not Live by White Man Laws, Only Indian Laws !!
The Man that is now Running The 26 Bar Ranch for the Hopi Tribe is a Half-Breed of Hopi - Mexican Blood. I am afraid that they Do Not Care Much for the White Man, Only What The White Man Can Give Them !!!
