THe GM sham.


So, General or Government Motors has repaid the bailout money it got last year?
Not so fast MR. Whitacre! I thought the advertisement on TV sounded a little too far fetched since GM sales were near the bottom when compared to the other manufacturers. I wonder how many of the sheeple will believe Mr. Whitacres lie about the repayment.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!

Has inflation begun?




We all know it will start. The question is when and how bad it will get. With federal governments borrowing and spending, and printing presses running at full speed, it is just a matter of time. I came across this article today and am asking myself, is this just the beginning?

A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country. - James Madison-

Time flies.

This week is over and I dont know where it went. Tomorrow it is back to work on the box farm and I am beginning to dread it already. I did accomplish a few of my goals for the week like getting to the gun range to sight in my scope on my Smith and Wesson M&P 15-22. That was so much fun that I shot a couple hundred rounds through my Glock 23! Ahh h h, the trigger finger isn't itchy anymore.

Tomorrow I will be planting some tomato and pepper plants. I am almost convinced to try my hand at small garden. I was given some seeds last weekend and if time permits tomorrow they might find themselves in the ground. My thumb has never been green, but I would like to see what will grow in the back yard.

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. -Thomas Jefferson-

A busy day ahead


Since a coworker decided to call me bright and early this morning, even tho I am off this week, I am going to run down to Home Depot and pick up a few pieces of lumber and some of those BOGOF seeds. I hope my little projects don't take all day because I would love to get to the gun range today. They say practice makes perfect and when it comes to steady aim and smooth trigger pulls, I have to agree. It has been a few weeks since I have fully exercised my second amendment rights and I have an itchy trigger finger!

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. -Thomas Jefferson_

Hello and welcome to Dollar Weed

I bet you are wondering why I chose Dollar Weed as the name of my blog! Well, last Saturday I took a class on edible plants and much to my suprise I found out that dollar weed, YES, dollar weed is edible! It has a flavor that resembles a carrot! I have been trying to rid this pesty weed from my lawn for a few years because, well, it is dollar weed. When Green Deane, who can be found on youtube and at his web site www.eattheweeds.com, told the class about dollar weed, everyone looked at each other like are you kidding me? After a few people reached down and picked the Penny they started laughing and they all agreed... ITS NOT BAD!
