LUCKY NUMBERS

233 dead in Libya
means $3.05@Walmart gas pumps today
One million to one Texas Lotto odds
will not restore adequate funding to our schools or libraries
I trust librarians more than police
Trust them with collective bargaining-
discarded by career politicians(make THEM unemployed-
and the odds are then more in our favor
Literacy attacked by sub-literate hysterics
who scream"cut !cut!cut!"(but not army nor police)
If you wish to REALLY balance budgets
look for where the black budgets hide
where wars devastate and arms sales continue the slaughter
Pork barreling self-serving mock fiscal conservatives
could cut their salaries and volunteer-as example
for all those working full time and paid half wages
Example is everything-until figures include EVERY expenditure
This is a hatchet job/witch hunt upon soft targets
Cut politicians/police/army-watch as they cry poor
68% of our Federal Budget is defense
Why not ask those we occupy to pay for their occupation?
The odds are stacked against rationality
It does not matter how good you are @what you do
The guillotine and slaughterhouse 5 /Catch 22 await all who
trust that politicians have wisdom in what they do
