Let’s see… You get 20 phone calls a day on both your cell and home phones… You make sure you have caller ID which usually display any number of unknown area codes or “withheld” caller ID results. – That’s when you don’t answer the phone.
Why? Because you owe those guys a lot of money… You were one of the suckers that bought into the idea that you deserve to have that trip to Hawaii and all those toys for the house. Lifestyles of the rich and famous…For a season.
You don’t have the money to do that stuff on what you make but the banks just keep handing it over… And more on the way as new cards are constantly arriving in the mail “Pre approved”.. It will always have a nice picture of a beach somewhere telling you that you deserve to have good things.
Then after a few months of steak dinners and brand new TV’s and CD’s for the car you are suddenly cut off and a slave to a debt that CANT be paid off without winning some kind of Lottery or Publishers Clearing House.
I told them I only made $11.00 per hour. And that I can’t manage money very well. I guess they considered that enough to give me a twenty thousand dollar credit card.
Grab that checkbook sir and let’s do a payment plan right over the phone…We can just automatically take it out of your account for your convenience.

McCain is behind Obama in the polls… Is it Sarahs fault?
I know it’s a hard thing to face up to. It looks like McCain is going to LOSE. Oklahomans will no doubt have difficulty facing this fact. Oh my God… A black president…What’s the world coming to?
Tonight is the “town hall” debate between those 2 guys. I’ll probably watch some (10 mins maybe) of it and enjoy the show. Heck, the Shield’s new episode is tonight.. I don’t wanna miss that now do I?
I’m gonna be one of the few in OK to vote for Obama. In fact, I’ll vote like I always do. Straight democratic party voting. – The party… Not the man… 🙂 I guess that sounds pretty crazy huh? Like I hear before from so many friends. “Your vote ain’t gonna make no difference anyways.” But I still have to go do it… Ya dig?
I’ll probably keep bloging on politics until this mess is over… It’s just way to juicy to let it alone… I am look forward to going back to some pop culture rumours and weird things I may see at Wal Mart however.
Peace and flowers

I don’t know where he came from but I been hearing about him since I was a kid. My parents always detested him as he was always causing them some kind of misery. My dad could probably go on and on about the grief he caused here in Oklahoma.
But I don’t just take my dad’s word for it… I just don’t like the way he looks. I was watching a commercial with him walking down a country road here in Oklahoma. He just looks like a shady character. A stubborn republican man that always works for the “right thing” walking down the road frowning…. Just a mean ol’ man that guy… Daddy Inhofe.
His commercial claims that his opponent Andrew Rice is easy on crime and let’s bad people run the streets or something. Whatever… Last month Inhofe was saying something about how Obama doesn’t love his country and shouldn’t be president because of it… He is always saying some kind of weak comments… That Inhofe guy cracks me up..
Still, he manages to win term after term… Strange… It’s an Oklahoma thang… That’s all.

A lot of fun this election year. I got to watch the 2nd half of the vice presidential debate on TV Thursday night… It was a lot of fun. Many people are saying that Palin won. I dunno.
He had on a nice suit and she had some killer red shoes. That’s what I noticed… And of course Palin was looking good as ever. Smiling and talking with that sweet little northern accent. As David Letterman was saying later… Biden was probably imagining her up there naked…Heck wouldn’t YOU?
What is this country going to do? I’m looking forward to finding out…It’s got to get better than what it is… When you hit bottom there’s no where to go but up right?
Will it be McCain and Palin the “Mavericks For Change”
That’s funny…Both camps realize they have to preach change because everybody can’t stand the Bush/Chaney show. It’s time to switch channels… Even Bush’s own party realizes that.
I’m glad the George Bush Show is almost over. But will the new cast really be any better. The Obama camp says it will be just “more of the same” Oh no….Anything but that. If McCain does win I hope he is a “maverick” as Palin claims. Change is good.
Do an “Arby’s” “Different is Better”

Its fair season here in Tulsa again.. I used to love to go to the fair and see the midway lights and laughing rides. It is always fun to look at the new products and unique things the fair has to offer… People watching is particularly entertaining.
But with the economy going down the toilet who can afford to go to the fair? It is a whopping 8 bucks just to walk in the gate. That includes nothing except the privilege of being able to look at exhibits and bizarre people in the crowds.
I boycotted the fair last year because the fairgrounds terminated the lease for Bells Amusement park at the drop of a hat. I felt they had done them wrong by just throwing them out on their ear. With little explanation as to why.
So, with that in mind I aint got a couple of big bills to take my family to the state fair this year. Who can afford an $8.00 turkey leg anyways? And it wouldn’t be the same without Bell’s. A Tulsa tradition and landmark that the fair board eliminated for some parking spaces. It just ain’t right – ya dig?
