if you like your egg, you can keep your egg.  if you don't have an egg, you can sign up and get an egg.

If you don't have an egg we'll force you to get one. Not a good one though...an Akorn from Lowe's.

@nolaegghead  tonight I'll show you how lower taxes and Reaganomics would have enabled Shannon to replace her own egg. You already know that due to the current administration she'll have to piece it together or, we can take someone else's egg and give it to her...they didn't earn it anyway. 

Careful @henapple. You might get a scolding.

@henapple Her egg didn't trickle down, it straight up collapsed after her bulldog loaned his leash to knock the egg down. The egg could have been saved had the dog's activity been regulated inside the house.

A Savings and Loan Crisis, indeed.

Back to global warming. I took this pic last fall. A lot of glacier melt since 1942

If they decide to secede again, my taxes will go down. I really hate that despite everyone's bitching about taxes, it's still the blue states subsidizing the red states.

Fair enough.  So here's my two-word response: Defund Kentucky. Cut it off the federal dole. Kentucky is a welfare state to begin with. The conservative Tax Foundation says the Bluegrass State received $1.51 back from Washington for every dollar it paid in federal taxes in 2005 (the most recent data I could find on the Tax Foundation's website.)  We need to listen to the people of Kentucky. They don't want any more federal spending in their state—and they certainly must be appalled by the notion that they're a bunch of welfare queens, living off the taxes paid by blue states like California (which only gets 81 cents back on the dollar), Connecticut (69 cents), Illinois (75 cents) and New York (79 cents). 

A report in the Lexington Herald-Leader says 80 percent of Kentucky's Medicaid bill is paid by Washington and more than one in five Kentuckians receives a monthly check from the Social Security System, totaling $8.5 billion a year. Washington also spends over $2 billion a year on flood insurance for Kentuckians, $667 million in crop insurance, and $877 million in mortgage insurance.  Plus the Bluegrass State is home to federal facilities ranging from Ft. Knox to the Department of Energy's Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah. 

Kentuckians are addicted to federal spending—they're the Lindsay Lohan of states, the Charlie Sheen of commonwealths.

The Herald-Leader also pointed out that the USDA—the giant federal agriculture bureaucracy in Barack Obama's Big Government—gave Kentucky's Letcher County $100,000 for a new fire truck. Anyone want to guess who the good people of Letcher County voted for in the 2008 presidential election? You got it. John McCain got 65 percent. But maybe that's because the patriotic folks there loved a war hero. So let's look at 2010: Rand Paul's crusade against federal spending carried the day in Letcher County. 

So give the people what they want. Defy Shields’ Law. Defund Kentucky. Kentuckians are addicted to federal spending—they're the Lindsay Lohan of states, the Charlie Sheen of commonwealths.  Let's put them in detox.  By trying this experiment in one state we can honor the conservatives' belief in states' rights, allowing Kentucky to truly be a laboratory of democracy. If it were up to me, they'd go cold turkey—not one federal dime. But that may be going too far, too soon.  So, I have to ask Kentucky, with all due respect: Can we just reclaim the extra 51 cents you take from Washington for every tax dollar you send?  Can we transfer our gold from Ft. Knox to, say, San Francisco? They actually like federal spending there, so holding our federal gold will not offend their moral standards. And let's put that Gaseous Diffusion Plant in...well, on second thought, keep it, Kentucky. I'm not sure what it is, but it kind of sounds like my teenage boys' room after burrito night. 

But can we at least have our firetruck back?

@Ozzie_Isaac ... you'll notice how they pick the foreman in that company ... he's the one smart enough to not get under the BHL.  Even with duct tape you can't fix dumb.

I fell asleep after the third paragraph.  Fortunately the phone rang and I could wipe the drool off my keyboard.  Yep, those British authors sure understand the dynamic of our country.  Now I think I'm going to get a lobotomy and join the up is down, down is up movement.
