Italian Tom Sawyer

Tomato Garden

An old Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here, my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie

At 4am the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie

Blame Mike L.

Coup d'etat by Obama?

I'm not this parnoid... yet. But You will have to admit there's some truth in this.

“My biggest fear,” writes Hosquatch, “is an attack from within....Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Murtha, Arlen Specter...does anyone have faith and confidence in these legislators? this nation has ALREADY suffered a coup d'etat, and the man in the Oval Office is a usurper bent on crashing this economy and destroying this society so he can morph it into the socialist entity he envisions, with the financial backing of anti-capitalist George Soros and other such men.”

Sounds silly until you stop and think. If you want to destroy any country first you must destroy its society. The best and easiest way to do that is to destroy the economy and the best and easiest way to do that is to destroy its markets... and its banking system.

Who will buy bank stocks when the government speaks of nationalization?

Who will buy health care company stocks when the government speaks of nationalization?

Who will buy energy stocks when the government speaks of higher taxes and more regulation?

Who will buy utility stocks when the government speaks of adding taxes of $40. a ton, or more, to coal burned?

Who will buy manufacturing stocks when the government is talking cap and trade and adding huge costs.

Who will buy retail stocks when the government is raising taxes that will leave people with less to spend?

Husein of Iraq could not have done as much harm to America as Hussein of We Don't Know Where has done.
