Random Thoughts and Rants

Updated on August 2, 2013

Help me out here.

One thing that I will NEVER get my mind wrapped around is how is it that our government believes it is somehow entitled to confiscating a portion of money earned by someone, merely because one dies? Forget the loved ones he/she may have wanted to have it. Our government is graciously allowing them to keep a part of it! Kind of makes me crazy every time I think about it.

Okay, the random question of the day………Why is it, that men have nipples? Seriously? WTH?

Why is it that we live in a time where it is NOW legal to smoke marijuana in Denver, yet illegal to drink a 44oz Coke in NY City?


Seriously?

Why is it, nearly every time I transport my clothes from the washer to the dryer, ONE sock always seems to manage to “disappear”? Maybe it’s just me.

If you sneak in a room and you take someone else’s money, it is called Theft. If you use a gun and demand money from someone it is called Robbery, BUT! If our government takes more and more money from one person and gives it to another by “taxing” them, it is called being “fair”!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you actually spit coffee out of your nose while reading a headline? The other morning I read THIS headline…

Feds Spend $2.7M to Study Drunk Lesbians”

That headline forced me to give my sinuses a coffee enema! Perhaps our government should do a study on the effects of this type of nasal cleansing! Why not? It just taxpayers dollars!


I mean....really?

Or how about this:

Our President, Mr. Obama is NOW declaring the month of April….National Financial Capability Month!!!

YES, that’s right! The man who has yet to work within a budget since he took office, the man who has led the growing of our debt by over $6 Trillion dollars, the man who has added more to our national debt than all previous presidents combined!

Yes, the man who has had two extravagant vacations this year and who golfed with Tiger Woods, at our taxpayers expense of OVER a million dollars…..Has the fortitude, to lecture us and our children about Financial responsibility!..... WOW!

Oh, this just in….. (Random thought)…..Piers Morgan is an IDIOT!

Enough of the negativeness…(is that a word?)


Finally, something that makes sense.

I want to take a moment and suggest to anyone who has taken the time to read this, to check out Will Starr’s hubs. This man IS a writer. He has some incredible short stories that will blow you away. His opinion hubs are bold and unapologetic. He know what he wants to say and does it with integrity.

That all I got for now,

Chris
