The Montana Department of Employment, Division of Labor Standards claimed a small rancher was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.
AGENT: I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.
RANCHER: Well, there's my hired hand that’s been with me for 3 years.I pay him about $200 a week plus free room and board. Then there's thementally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours everyday and does about90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays hisown room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday nightso he can cope with life. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.AGENT: That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one.
RANCHER: That would be me.

TOP-10 'Only In America' Observations - by a Canadian:1) Only in America, could a certain politician talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a platecampaign fund-raising event.
2) Only in America, could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and an 18% black federal workforce, but a black population of only 12%. .
3) Only in America, could they have had the two people most responsible for the tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department, and Charles Rangel, who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4) Only in America, could they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
5) Only in America, could they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while they discuss letting people who sneak into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.
6) Only in America, could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."
7) Only in America, could they need to present adriver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8) Only in America, could they demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up, when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of the return of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).
9) Only in America, could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.
10) Only in America, could the rich people - who pay 86% of all federal income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any federal income taxes at all.
Fleming Bill Says NO to Power Grab on Spending “Only Congress should decide our debt ceiling. The president's blank check request needs a resounding NO from Congress.”
Congress must not surrender its power over setting the debt ceiling. That’s why I introduced H.Res. 826, a resolution giving the House of Representatives an opportunity to reject President Obama’s attempt to control the debt ceiling.
Washington has forgotten how to live within a budget. From bailouts and the failed stimulus bill, to the government takeover of health care, Americans are sick and tired of Washington's overzealous spending and its disregard of constitutional boundaries.
We are in our fifth straight year of trillion dollar annual deficits, and the president believes that – despite the Constitution – the power of deciding how much more debt the government can accumulate belongs to him instead of Congress. The president is asking for a blank check, and he wants Congress to abdicate power to him so he can raise the debt ceiling as he pleases. H.Res. 826 affirms the value of our three-part government, and the checks and balances that keep the pendulum from sticking in the liberal position. Giving the president the ability to raise the debt ceiling– without congressional authority– would be giving him power far beyond anything the Constitution intended. H. Res. 826 must be passed to remind the president that Congress will not surrender its power.
Together, we can continue to make sure our government remains as our forefathers intended.
Sincerely,
JOHN FLEMING, M.D.
Member of Congress

A Horse Tale........
Romney's horseSo the Romneys are selfish for keeping a horse? And employing a groom with a family to support. And paying for feed that is sold by someone with a family to support and transported in trucks by someone with a family to support and manufactured in a factory by people with families to support from stuff that is grown by farmers with families to support. And having a barn built by construction workers with families to support with materials trucked by drivers with families to support from factories with workers with families to support.Sounds to me like that one horse has done more to put Americans to work than that horse's ass in the White House. AMEN!!!!!!!!"Socialism is a philosophy of failure,the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy,its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery..."-- Winston Churchill
