Z asks....How many billions for Burlington Northern?
Obama calling for more infrastructure spending
Sep 6, 8:33 AM (ET)
By JULIE PACE
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy, President Barack Obama will call for long-term investments in the nation's roads, railways and runways that would cost at least $50 billion.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-14/obama-meets-with-warren-buffett-to-discuss-economic-growth-job-creation.html
Did WB tell Obama to give him the money?
Obama's infrastructure push also includes a focus on high-speed rail and "a long-overdue overhaul of Amtrak's fleet," as well as consolidation of more than 100 different transportation funding programs.

Yes, Amtrak is a great way of spending us even more into debt.

What kind of non-sequitur bull shit is this, bob harris? While you were typing out your little piece of sanctimony, the country's largest banks, with the collusion of our president, the secretary of the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve, just stole another giant pile of money from us, our children and our children's children. If YOU don't want to improve the situation, then stay out of the way. I could not care less whether you're a veterinarian or a former soldier. It doesn't matter. But your bull shit hurts America.
Ask bob harris. You apparently speak the same language. I have no idea what you're trying to say.
@ bob harris...
I think you missed the point of the song...the performer doesn't want to leave, none of us do...far from it...we're working everyday to make things better...right the wrongs so to speak...
And z...pitchfork and the rest of us are doing the only thing we can do...writing stories, creating awareness, pushing fellow citizens to become educated on these issues...i think you're on the wrong side if you find yourself arguing with pitch here...
Since, I have Lyme, plus 5 more deiese in me from the tick bites. I suffer from Severe CFS. I have a Defected leaking "Recalled" Hart Valve in me on 10/06/99..........

My wife can drive big trucks, and our tour bus. I can too, and fly anything with wings, but not Jets. Is thAre anything that you would want us to do for you, to be the Hero that you claim to be, and want us to follow your lead.
True, I cant do much anymore, but I can still do pleanty if nobody asks for my Has-Mat, CDL, or my FAA Ticket, that was taken from me 10 years ago.
My wife wore a halter top, and hot pants driving my bulk milk truck picking up milk at the farms, drove our tour bus across 2 states, and got us to the show.
I can drive anything, and fly most anything you should want me too. We have lost all of our dreams and life wish'es, so we have nothing to lose Bob.
Were ready to employ to whAre you send us, just tell us our next assignment, Sir Bob Harris...........I have lost everything, and got nothing to lose.
Everything I lived for, I lost, becouse of my health. What is life living for, if you have nothing to live for, right Bob.........? Yr right, all I do is sit on the puter and talk smart, like you said. Its time to put up, or shut up, right Bob.....................

We know to save the last shot for our self's, like the Army teaches, right Bob.............? This is not a good place to poke yr nose into a Hornet's Nest. You could get more than you asked for Bob.
This is a place for US 2 Vent, not to squash the people who Love Our Country, but to old to get called to duty. I, We, admier you servive to our country. Please dont put us old guys down just becouse yr still "Hung Like a Horse", Sir.................

We dont judge, we know whAre you've been.............We've been thAre too................................ "Tex-Out" !
As for P, he is also not very good at answering questions. He should thank you for helping him out.
Do you consider this pushing fellow citizens…Dr. P says... What kind of non-sequitur bull shit is this, bob harris? While you were typing out your little piece of sanctimony, the country's largest banks, with the collusion of our president, the secretary of the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve, just stole another giant pile of money from us, our children and our children's children. If YOU don't want to improve the situation, then stay out of the way. I could not care less whether you're a veterinarian or a former soldier. It doesn't matter. But your bull shit hurts America.
I think it is a shame.

Peace loving people, are just that. Dont let hate, and death get into your life. The MSM just loves guys like you that suck up the hate cauz. Please let it go......................................... The good side is only asking for a suit case NUKE, Come Sat, OK, Z.......................This is only going to get way more out of control as the days get closer, Z.......
We'll sort it out, over time. I know very good muslims that fed me, band & crew, and they dident hate us. Their are good muslims, as their are good Reb's & Dem's, but I would like to meet a good "Dem"..............................?
Hang on 2 yr seat Z, things are going to get way more than our brain can handle, come next Mo. Please hang with me, were in for the ride of our life's....................
This is apropos of nothing, but I was listening to some of your music and trying to find more of it and I came across "Dar's Toy Story". It's a really good essay. Sounds like things have been rough for you at times -- I caught a glimpse of that this summer when my wife was very sick -- but amazingly you keep your spirits up. Glad you hang around here.
Here's that link pitchfork on t dar......your mention sent me searching for it...
Sorry guys. Mommy had the TV Last night so I spent it drinking a few with ya'll on BD's site. Its true, I do love everybody after 5 drinks....the story is true, I was just trying to make whats-his-face, feel bad for making me feel bad.......Bob Haris ?
I wrote Dars Toy Story in responce to the real question, If you Google it, it comes up.....? "But You Look OK On the Outside"........or........."You Dont Look Sick to Me".......layed awake one night and the words just came to me.
So I wrote it down just as it came to me. Was going to have it put into a real setting like reading a piece from someone that knows how to write stuff for books. But then I thought no, that would spoil the meanning from my hart, so I left it alone.
Its been down loaded over 6 million times in 4 years now. I get e-mails from all over the world thanking me for putting in words how the care giver feels when living with someone with Cronic Illness, its not eazy, just ask Ann. OK, You found out that I am Famous, just not the way I planed it to happen.
Im not bitter about it, just sad it dident work out the way I planed it. You cant trust your health to carry ya threw to reach your dreams.
I gave away all my Copy Rights, so anyone can copy it and share it with love ones. Who needs money anymore. Was told my life story would make me more than I could spend, but I dont have anyone to follow me around with a recorder for the next 3 mo. getting the info for the book.
Who would want to spend 3 mo. in the Ozarks with me when thAres a real world going on out there. Naked gurls up at the Pardy Cove @ Lake of the Ozarks, I'll find the link from Inside Edition last night with Debbra Norval, ABC.
Someone read my bio on the bands web site and was all fired up about my life story and wanted me to write a book about my self, "It Dont Work That-a-Way".......It takes a smart person to ask all the questions and make you reamber some of the things you try hard Not to Reamber.
So please shart it with love ones. Many live with a Chronic Illness, its not just Lyme.... Tex "OuT"
Here is the video................http://www.insideedition.com/videos/576/inside-edition-investigates-party-cove.aspx
Naked Gurls Too.....!

You want me to write a book when we have all this goin on here, No Way Hoz-Zey !
Homeowners would end up paying exorbitant costs and losing control over their own homes, according to DeWeese.
"To get the money, a community must meet environmental standards," he said.
"That requires houses to be equipped with new roofs, new windows, and efficient appliances. They did this last year in Oakland. It costs an estimated $35,000 to make a house comply with the environmental regulations. They say homeowners can't sell their houses if they don't meet these standards."

What is so piquant here, in this administration, is not the fact, plain to behold, that Hillary understands that Obama is president. It is the growing sense that Hillary would have made a much, much better president than Obama.

Everyone knows someone with something going on in their life living with pain & suffering. I re-read it today. Brought a tear to my eye. It may out do my #-2 chart song "Stay@Home Dar"..................
The full name is, Its Hard To Be a Country Music Star, When Yr a Stay@Home Dar, All Day Long.......that came to me in the middle of the night too.
Was just about to shoot the Videio next to my Oil Man Neighbors bus, ( Why You Could Warsh-on-it-All Day Long ) when we came home from the dock to find my sole-mate "LugNut" a dumped kitty we rescued from the resort, and I lost all will to do anything 4 years ago.
Maby next year.......? Pain gos very deep with an Empty Hart. LugNut has the same thing Dar has. Cartdiomaopthey. Our hart will just stop, and start again. This time his dident.
God has let 4 kittys sole come back to Dar. Tiffany, Tom Kitty, LugNut, "Princess Kitters". Anyone want to read the facks I have all the proof you need to know. They do 2-3 things only they did, and know their name right off. I swear to God, I have proof.
Like LugNut playin in the sink water. Drinking out of the toilet. Did them 2 things in 24 hr @ 5 weeks old. Fell in too just to show me he was back. Princess Kitters, sleeping in Anns neck every night. She is a Boy, this time, ( Turkish Angora ) but the first night, he slept in Anns neck just like she did for 12 years.
I dont think im bless'ed, the kittys are. They are the ones that got to meet God, and got the OK to come back to Dar. Ya'll gona love how Bo Jhon got back to me. Now a girl, "Miss Beau-Jon", and the story behind her. With an e-mail, I will send out all the proof you need how God dose let pets come back to ya, if you deserve it.
Maby saving 10 kittys has something to do with it, Im Bless'ed, and I know it. Not many can claim that. Not | bob harris

My Country, My Ass! (Clean Version)
by John Ringer
Now tell me again how this country is the land of the free and
the home of the brave
You can't really believe that what you see now is the reason
so many brave men gave
Teacher used to say we had the Bill of Rights, I think they
took the Rights and sent us the Bill
Well I don't know 'bout you my friend, but I think I've had my
fill
They've been walkin' on me for my whole life, I think it's
finally time to draw the line
You can tell old John Cougar Mellencamp he can stick his song
where the Sun don't shine
My country, my ass!
This is not the land I learned about in class
My country, my ass!
That freedom-justice stuff is all in the past
Got a checkpoint up the road ahead, better pull out your ID
And your taxes just went up again, gotta cough up some more
money
Be careful what you say and when you're on the phone, you
never know who might be listening in
They got cameras watching everywhere you go, so they know just
where you've been
You know you better think about the books you read, or your
name might go on a list
Don't take too many pictures now, or they'll think you're a
terrorist
They're watching you everytime you turn around, and they don't
like what they see
You gotta be *freaking* kidding me if you think this country's
free!
My country, my ass!
This is not the land I learned about in class
My country, my ass!
That freedom-justice stuff is all in the past
Well the banks messed up and they took money from us, and gave
a zillion dollar bonus
And they didn't give a d*mn when we had to say, "I swear to
God they think they own us"
But when they say "Bend over!" you say "Yes Sir!", and then
you vote for them again
If you're the kind of people who fought our wars, tell me
how'd we ever win?
They been walkin' on us for far too long, and don't you think
it's time to draw the line?
Why don't you tell those jerks in Washington to stick their
laws where the Sun don't shine!
My country, my ass!
This is not the land I learned about in class
My country, my ass!
That freedom-justice stuff is all in the past
Well they say, "America, love it or leave it"
Well I loved it, and it left me.
Thanks TWICE.
DB ,IF these boys can't play nice put them in TIME OUT.
Damn! they're on a roll.
Still be loving me some: Daily Bail
Banks find a new way to screw citizens
Banks tie a yellow ribbon
around the necks of servicemen & women
