Loc: Anchorage AK
Gasoline: $7.50/gallon

Prime lending rate: 12.5%

Gold: $1,200 US per ounce

Highest FITW rate: 55%

Jobless rate: 5%

Foreign Policy: US Military abandons Iraq and Afganistan. N. Korea and Iran allowed to pursue their "peaceful" nuclear enrichment programs. Trade Deficit with China approaches $1 trillion US. Muslim reparations bill passes Senate, awaits House vote after President Clinton's hearty endorsement. UN takes over administering Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Statue of Liberty as international treasures resolutions are ratified and treaty with US signed by president.

Meanwhile, the line to see the administrator for approval of your claim to see a doctor now takes 3 hours. Emergency room visits last half a day before you are admitted for treatment, after first going through a credit check. The deadline for personal firearms registration will expire in June.

I'm just trying to figure out what we'll do when our combined taxes exceed 100% of our income. Both HC & BO seem to be bragging about how fast they'll raise our taxes. Of course JM is planning to do that too.

Eventually the dems will find a way to make most guns, knives, junk food, and SUVs illegal. Hunting will be considered too dangerous for our own good. Oh, and our military will be converted to an international police force placed under UN control. Maybe we'll even convert to using the Euro.

I suppose I could find a job in China since they'll all be there eventually??

When Oprah is the Vice President I wonder if she'll cancel her TV show?

Prediction for February 2008. People who post political threads and replies disappear from ETS like lost hikers in a snowstorm.

Sorry ...

Well, we have a great great snowstorm here in the Chicago area. LOTs of snow! Man, if it weren't for my tractor's front end loader we'd be real "lost".
