Which Came First, The Chicken Or The Road?

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

SARAH PALIN: Before it got to the other side, I shot the chicken and her moose friend, cleaned it, and had chicken burgers for lunch.

BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change and he heard her say "We can DO it"Yes !

JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road but waited for a call to join them

HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that Little chicken and its friend to cross the road. This experience makes me Uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets health care and the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

GEORGE W. BUSH: Hell, we don't know and don't give a damn. We have a Mission Accomplished sign over there and told him to tell them all to "Bring it on!" We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, Or not. Chickens are either against us, or for us. There is no middle Ground here.

DICK CHENEY: Shoot the damned thing and say there were hundreds of them.Where's my gun?

COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken and moose crossing the road.

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is Your definition of chicken?

AL GORE: I invented the chicken and the moose benefits the world now.

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about The chicken's intentions. I am not for it now and will remain against it.

AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

DR. PHIL: My TV analysis reveals that the problem we have here is That this chicken doesn't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side Of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems and watching our TV show.

OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which Is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can tie the moose behind, just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have some reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks; can't you see it now.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hard working American.

DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a moose? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone, of course!

GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road with a moose, and that's all there was to it.

ARISTOTLE: It is the in the fundamental nature of chickens to lead mooses across the road.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken and his moose friend really cross The road, or did the road move beneath them?

COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one, that big brown thing isn't one !

Zimbabwe Now, US Later?

The US Treasury and Federal Reserve have printed more than

$7 TRILLION dollars

in the last 3 months to quote "stabilize and bailout" the financial system. They have in fact engineered they largest theft and scam in the history of the world and Paulson has rewarded his criminal buddies on Wall Street while watching the real economy fall off of a cliff (we are still like the coyote in the Road Runner cartoons, legs moving fast, not falling yet, but soon to crash to earth). Below is a story about Zimbabwe. Don't think that it can't happen to us.



If you think that the current economic crisis is something that has never happened in history before, you may be wrong! After the collapse of the agriculture sector in Zimbabwe in 2000, the inflation in that country skyrocketed to 231 million percent a year! Just think about it - 231 000 000%! Unemployment went up to 80% and a third of country’s population left it.
Zimbabwe’s inflation rate has soared in the past three months and is now at 11.2 million percent, the highest in the world, according to the country’s Central Statistical Office.

“While our case has been aggravated by the illegal sanctions imposed by the Western powers, rising food prices are a world phenomenon because of the use of bio-fuel,” said Samuel Mumbengegwi. “But we will continue to fight inflation by making sure that prices charged are realistic.”
In February, the price of a loaf of bread in the country was less than 200,000 Zimbabwe dollars. On Monday, that same loaf of bread cost 1.6 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.”
Let`s now have a look at the photos that you may not be able to see anywhere else in the world.



Here is a boy getting change in 200 000 dollar notes!

One 200 000 dollar note equals less than $0.10 cents.

December 22nd, a new note of 500 000 dollars introduced to the market!

Next - 750 000 dollars.

January - new note of 10 million dollars.

This US $10 dollar note is 10 times worth more than the 10 million dollars Zimbabwe note.

A case worth 65 billion Zimbabwe dollars which equals to $2000 US dollars.

This guy is going to a supermarket. The exchange rate is 25 million Zimbabwe dollars for 1 US dollar.

This mountain of cash is worth $100.

50 Million note is then introduced!

Next is 250 million dollars note!

Sorry, how much is this t-shirt?
- It`s cheap, only about 3 billion dollars!

May - a note of 500 million dollars is introduced!

June - note worth 25 and 50 billion are printed.

And finally - 100 billion dollars note!

What can you buy for it? Well, these 3 eggs for example.

Thats how people went to restaurants!

And the bills:


In August, the government devalued Zimbabwe dollar by removing 10 zeros from notes.

However, inflation kept going up and in September for this amount of cash you could only buy 4 tomatoes.

And for this - some bread.

And then it started again: 20 000 dollars note in September.

50 000 a couple of weeks ago!

They`ve got a pretty good chance of hitting billion dollar notes again by the end of this year!

I stayed at the Oberoi Hotel during my two trips to India, May 1997 and September 1997. It is a very nice hotel, excellent service, pancakes were very good, a steak not so good. I guess it was good to get a room service steak, but it made a Ryan's Family Steakhouse steak seem like something from Outback.

I have been watching CNN and they are still saying "potential terrorist". I think at this point they can drop the "potential". And since they are too PC to say "Muslim" as the responsible group, they could at least give a possible range of terror groups like, radical Mormons, Hindus, Buddhist, Norwegians, vegans, or Texas Tech fans. Just kidding about all but the Tech fans. They are a pretty rough group but no offense to Jenny, she is the nicest Tech person I know.
