See NYC! The Obama Way!

The Obama administration has developed a new way of raising funds to pay off the 12.8 Trillion debt. They are testing the idea of leasing out Air Force One to tour groups for sight seeing runs whenever the President is not using the plane.

On Monday they made their first test run over New York City. There were no paying customers on board for this inaugural flight however. The fuel and maintenance will be picked up by the taxpayers to the tune of about $325,000. (more or less)

Apparently they forgot to ask for the proper permits required of tour operators also. Numerous office workers in high rise buildings near ground zero ran for their lives when they saw a jumbo jet wing tip outside their window. They may have over reacted. I can't imagine why they would panic at such a site. After all, large jets and tall buildings go so well together.

Call now to reserve your seat. Space may be limited on future flights.

Bon Voyage!

Bad Weekend. Good Monday.

I guess we all pay a price. Had a mediocre week last week then got stuck in Ohio for the entire weekend. Nothing says BOREDOM like sitting in Findlay Ohio for two days while your family is in Texas. Freight is slow because of the economy. I accept that but come on people. Two full days with no miles. I gotta eat ya know.

Monday brought better news. Good weather and a 700 plus mile run to Dublin, Georgia. Drop and hook on BOTH ends. Made it to Atlanta for the night. On top of that The Texas Rangers are on top of the Baltimore Orioles 6-4 in the 8th. Yesssss! (I hope I didn't just jinx them.)

Nothing on the news but Swine Flu talk. Oh, and Barack Obama had a lil run in with his teleprompter. Seems the operator is added to the new jobless claims list. Darn.

The 9-12 Project and what it Means

Please go to www.the912project.com and read what it is all about. Even if you don't watch Glenn Beck or Fox News. Read the mission statement and click on the tabs for the 9 Principles and the 12 Values. If you agree with most of them (7 of 9 principles) (10 of 12 values) then you think like a 912'er.

It is not about Racism. It is not about parties. It is not an anti Obama site. It definitely is not an EXTREMIST site. It is common people like me and you agreeing that we need to get back to the place we were on 9-12-01. when we all dropped our differences and offered up our time, sweat, money and BLOOD to help and support one another. We were neighbors, co-workers, fellow students and moms and dads that knew instinctively that we need each other. We live in a great country but we have lost our way. Both parties are to blame. What we need now is common sense, leadership and a desire to return to the country our forefathers built for us, based in the constitution and limited government interference. Our rights are God given. No government should ever be allowed to take them away. Please read the site! It is important!
