» by By now everyone, I hope, knows about Russia’s invasion of Georgia. I have read some comments from the “Bash Bush” crowd that say “so what, we invaded two countries also”. Some facts these detractors seem to either never knew or conveniently forget. Iraq and Afghanistan were not democracies, nor were the people free in any sense of the word.

The Art of the Deal
No, not the autobiography by Donald Trump. Haggling is an age old art-form. It has been described as polite arguing. The trick in haggling is for the seller to learn just how desperate the buyer is and the trick for the buyer is to determine just how much the seller wants to make money.
A starving man may sell his soul for a crust of bread, but a starving man with a crust of bread might not want to sell it at all. A baker wants to sell his bread when it is fresh so that people will know what kind of artisan he is but if he can’t sell it quickly, he can still sell it the next day at a reduced rate enough to cover his time and expense. But if he can’t sell it the third day, he must toss it out, toast it for croutons, or crumble it for bird feed and lose money.

Nancy Pelosi – Stand Up Comic
While making a trek around the web I ran into a couple well chosen words that I decided to share with you this Sunday. I hope you find them as humorous as I do.
From the Idaho Mt. Express about Nancy Pelosi:
…she’s been a perpetual no-show, scarce as hen’s teeth when President Bush and Vice President Cheney and their acolytes ran roughshod over the Constitution and blew off empty Democratic complaints. Pelosi decided if she played nice with Bush, and promised he need not worry about impeachment, he and the Republican minority would return the favor. Instead, Bush implemented ruthless policies—torture of detainees, illegal wiretaps, corruption of the Justice department—while Pelosi dropped out of sight.
From the Free Press and Time Magazine:
I think the Republicans would like nothing better than for us to focus on impeachment and take our eye off the ball of a progressive economic agenda.

While discussing the #dontgo movement with my Representative’s (Rep. Kay Granger, R-TX 12th District) I was brought up to-date on just a few bills pending before the House that Commissar Nancy is preventing from being acted upon.
H.R. 3089, No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007 Reduces the price of gasoline by opening new American oil refineries; investing in diverse energy sources such as wind, nuclear, and clean coal-to-liquid technology; and making available more homegrown energy through environmentally sensitive exploration of the Arctic Energy Slope and America’s Deep-Sea Energy Reserves.
H.R. 2279, Expand American Refining Capacity at Closed Military Bases Reduces the price of gasoline by streamlining the refinery application process and by requiring the President to open at least three closed military installations for the purpose of siting new and reliable American refineries.
