In light of John's post yesterday... Esther and Charlie went to the state fair every year, and every year Charlie would say, "Esther, I'd sure ‘nuff like to ride in that helicopter." Esther always replied, "Charlie, that helicopter ride is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is fifty dollars." One year Esther and Charlie went to the fair and Charlie said, “Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter this year, I might not ever get another chance." Esther replied, "Charlie that helicopter ride is fifty dollars -- and fifty dollars is fifty dollars."... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/this_ones_for_s.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/this_ones_for_s.html Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:11:40 -0600 Nope.

I came in here to bring you more good news of great joy! A new political party is being offered to the tens of millions of Americans who feel that the Republican party and the DemocRAT party have NOT led them to achieve what they really want our government to do for them. They want their borders secured and their immigration laws ENFORCED NOW! They want tax reform-and they want it ASAP! They want much more efficient, innovative and effective SMALLER government that gives them more bang for their hard-earned buck. They want Senate rules that do not allow an up or down vote for all executive appointment to the federal judiciary changed to allow a constitutional up or down vote. They want their second amendment right to keep and BEAR arms VIGILANTLY protected! They believe America’s best and brightest days are YET to come! They yearn for REAL change that PRODUCES real results that truly satisfies their good desires for their families, America’s future and their posterity. And, they want it all RIGHT NOW! The new party is called the ‘New Republican Party’ and can be further studied at my website. This party is what we, and millions of others like us, have all been searching for…but it has never existed before…until NOW! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/this_ones_for_s.html#comment-57172 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/this_ones_for_s.html#comment-57172 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 03:15:04 -0600
