Our Congress passed the Bail Out Bill in the middle of the night, having never read the damn thing.  Nancy Pelosi is famous for having told us "Everything I do is for the children." Thanks on behalf of the children, Nancy!

I'm reminded of the carpetbaggers in the South following the Civil War.  I'm reminded of the Iraqi profiteers after the fall of Bagdhad.  The house and the senate didn't win us over with sound, articulate reasoning.  The President didn't put the bill out there on the internet for 48 hours prior to the vote, as he had promised during the runup to the election. 

No, it was much more like the pastoral scene above. 

"Hey!  Who's going to stop us?!" 

Next time you get the chance to vote, remember this little post.  You might want to bookmark it.  And keep the change...

I just showed my husband this post it's that memorable - you must submit those pics to a photo contest.  This needs national attention.  Did you take those pics???

Kate,

No, I didn't take them.  (See the credit at the bottom left of the post?)  I've worked cows since I was a kid, though, first on a dairy farm in upstate NY owned by Happy Rockefeller, and then as an adult for the past 13 years in Caddo, OK.  I knew as soon as I saw the first photo what the followup would be.  :)

Cynthia,

Thanks for stopping by to comment.

Zilkia,

It's good to see you.  See you soon on your blog.

Kate,

Yup!

TLW,

I knew you would like this one!

Broker Bryant,

Thanks.  That's an honor, coming from you.

Debbie,

It's a mob mentality on the Hill.  Congress is full of half wits who want their share of the loot.

Toula,

You don't see things like this in Forked River or Barnegat.  Tuckerton?  Maybe.  :)

Ann,

They can take my money and my guns, but they'll never get my sense of humor!  LOL

Michelle,

Glad you liked it!  Thanks for taking time to comment.

Bill,

No rape there.  Those are two female bovine.

Larry,

You're saying we're not literate in Arizona?  :)

Ron,

The outcome just may be a voter revolt!

Tony,

I didn't know about the tripling of the petty cash fund.  It was good talking with you yesterday; thanks for stopping by to comment.

Linda,

There's nothing to keep you from putting your lovely face in as a jpg.  That's free.  :)

Terry,

The world needs more Lerts!  LOL

Mike,

"Those are two female bovine."

They say the same of Nancy and Hillary, but they've screwed most tax payers! The fact they lack the ... to do the job successfully is just more bad news! It all depends on your point of view!

Bill

PS: For the record it's common among cows! They only get to a ... date once a year.

No "bull" in the content of this post!  Are the photos from your jaunts to Oklahoma?

Mike - I must say that is one of the more "descriptive" photos I've seen on ActiveRain to illustrate a post:-)

Caution would be key when stuck in this position. Same as when dealing with the government or the IRS. Too funny reblog!

Thanks for commenting.  I got behind, but I'll see each of you on your blogs!  Funny--this has been reblogged more than anything I've written in the Rain.  :)

Reagan, Bush, and Bush took us from $1 trillion in debt to $10 trillion in debt. What's another few trilion? LOL

After the last eight years, I'm really excited for our country. We need to cooperate with the other nations of the world instead of being so egotistical. After all, we're only 325 million in a world of over six billion.

OH MY GOSH!  I wonder why we let them cram our head under the fence in the first place???? 

We're from the government and we're here to help.  Yep!

Doreen,

That cow put her head under the fence all by herself.  We do the same thing when we don't get involved politically.

Janie,

Well, thanks for commenting anyhow.  See you on your blog.

That is my point.  Too many believe what they hear and on top of that, don't even bother to vote.
