“Nevertheless, it’s here. Unlike Bush’s generalized privatization talk of last year, we’re now talking detailed numbers. On page 321 of the budget proposal, you see the privatization costs: $24.182 billion in fiscal 2010, $57.429 billion in fiscal 2011 and another $630.533 billion for the five years after that, for a seven-year total of $712.144 billion.”

My question is this nearly three quarters of a trillion dollars all money that people could invest, or are there other costs being covered by these figures, or do we even have any idea?

Did Bush actually push in something about privitization of social security into the budget?

Indeed, though I beat you to the self-correction (see the post above).

Still, since you’re a fan of Slim Pickens, here’s a line for you:

“What in the Wide, Wide, World of Sports is a goin’ on here?!?”

CF: Ya got the wrong Slim. Slim Pickens was the missile rider in Dr. Strangelove. Slim Whitman provides the peace update theme song (Uno Paloma Blanca)on the Rush Limbaugh show.

Say, you haven’t been listening to Rush… nah. Me neither.

Having seen John Malkovich (who seems to be trying out his own version of “Being CF”) in action, I seem to have created a monster, what with the potty mouth and all.

Still, I have to say it was worth it. No grudges against the Eagle folks; it’s their party, and they’ll cry if they want to. I’m just amazed they left it up as long as they did.

Anyway, got to spend time with the fam.

You notice they took down Brian’s post, too?

Ah, yes, even an implication to a word any 8-year-old knows is verboten!

What a mature media culture! But I can say “shit,” can’t I? Hell, yeah, this fits within the friggin’ blog rules!

It’s their blog. . .and their server… and their press. And their income (the most important thing). I congratuate them for allowing some dissent on their servers. They’re basically, ya know, human beings. I AM NOT BEING SARCASTIC.

They’re just remaining within their perceived economic norm. Which will inevitably change. . . Sigh. . the whole language thing is so incredibly silly. . .but taboo words exist in every language. . . for a reason. The game continues.

OOPS! Those were bogus too!

CF,Way to flame, man! You Rock!

I nominate Malkovich as the blog moron.Any seconds?

I know very well that CF, Brian, etc. know and care about Bush’s non-budget. My humble advice (certainly not from any presumed superior pedestal): Don’t let the rhetoric get to you. Stay on subject.

You are SOOOOOO right! I realized this while I was on my way to an appointment, and couldn’t get back to repost. Oh, the shame! Not that there’s anything wrong with Slim Whitman, you understand. But Slim Pickens–WHAT an actor! “Why Mr. Taggert, you use your mouth purtier than a two-dollar whore!” Genius!

John Malkovich,

And your point was…?

Actually, that great character actor went by the name of Slim Pickens, I believe.

Wasn’t this a post on Bush’s budget?

Did anyone read the article in the Washington Post about how Bush wrote in Social Security privitization into his budget proposal?

If that gets approved, people that depend on Social Security for their incomes are really gonna be screwed.

Good thing Coretta isn’t around any more to see that. If the cancer didn’t kill her, this would.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

(sniffle!) Man, I LOVE you guys!

I feel like Slim Whitman at the end of Dr. Strangelove.

RIDE ‘EM COWBOY!

I agree that CF’s post is a bit harsh, but. . . well, Joe, I know you have a good heart, but I think you mighta just earned this one. Seriously, do you know ANYTHING about Coretta Scott King, other than she was married to Martin?

And since you have a college degree (albeit from Hillside High), you really oughta know better.

Touche.

Reading that post was like jumping into the ice bath after you’ve been baking in the sauna. Refreshing!

You’r post will get pulled shortly, but sometimes a man’s gotta say what a man’s gotta say.

Bush = Worst. President. Ever.

Viva La Raza Blanco!!

If nothing succeeds like success, it’s also true that nothing exceeds like excess. And times like these call for extreme measures.

I like your email address, BTW: very on-topic.
