I may be going to northern Arizona in the next few weeks for some golf. Seriously ; Flagstaff in May.....wonderful .

We were in Sedona in late April and went through Flagstaff to that little ditch near there. It snowed. Hard.

Got this email from a buddy mine. Some of you may have seen it or some may have not but I like it even though its probably never going to happen.

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?



'My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.


Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER It'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France .

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors: Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple thousand extra tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska -which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America . It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought : You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America .. Thank you and good night.'

If you can read this in English, thank a soldier.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Yeah Steve......i'm getting used to snow.....more coming AGAIN this week...IN MAY ! I'm moving to Edmonton.

Good post Gary...i enjoyed it. But ; don't you know that isolationism is a bad idea. Look at how well this "Global" thing is going. If we were to isolate ourselves , we would miss out on all the fun of going bankrupt with everyone else. While China grows into this giant bulbous monster of state controlled " capitalism" ....we will ally ourselves with the neo-socialist progressives that inhabit Europe and , even , places like Canada.

If they put this cap and trade thing through , it will be the final nail in the coffin for the golden goose. We will all be bowing and scraping to government for scraps from the socialistic table. "Never waste a good crisis" .....they make EVERYTHING a crisis now. We are a nation of victims , going from one crisis to another and looking to government for guidance that will never come . They will use crisis mentality to enslave us to their vision of fiscal and environmental utopia. A peg for every hole. A global vision . The individual is dead. We look to The Obama to lead us from this desert of greed into a new day . A bright new day where our dreams become one.

It brings a tear to my eye. CHANGE.............believe in it. May the mighty Obama smile on your day comrade.

From Jay Leno on boycotting: Many want to boycott Arizone Ice Tea that is made in New Your. Snapple started the boycott rumor

lol...funny. Yeah i saw that ! I knew Arizona ice tea was made back east. There is no contest between Arizona and Snapple. Arizona ice tea in the 99 cent can is the best there is. I just WISH it were made in Arizona....i would buy more now.

Sun tea in Mexico next month will be much better

Mexico......Schmexico.
