Three Things to Ponder

1.Cows

2.The Consitution

3. The Ten Commandments

Cows:Is it just me or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a single cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow..

The Consitution:They keep talking about drafting the Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked over 200 years, and we're obviously not using it anymore..

The Ten Commandments:The real reason that we cant have the Ten commandments posted in a court house is this; You cannot post "thou shalt not steal," 'thou shalt not commit adultery," and "thou shalt not lie," in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicans. It creates hostile work enviroment.

Senate rejects $250 checks for elderly

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A measure to give some 57 million elderly people, veterans and persons with disabilities a $250 check was rejected by the Senate on Wednesday, a setback for the powerful seniors' lobby.
President Barack Obama has called for Congress to approve the payments to make up for their benefits not increasing this year, but the Senate defeated it 50 to 47.
The payments would have added $13 billion to a $108 billion job-creation package pending in the Senate.
Congress approved payments last year as part of the $862 billion stimulus package.
Social Security payments for the elderly and disabled will stay flat this year for the first time since 1975 because they are tied to consumer prices, which decreased amid the worst economic recession in 70 years.
That follows a year in which payments rose by 5.8 percent, largely due to a spike in gasoline prices.
"It is wrong to turn our backs on seniors in this moment of economic difficulty," said Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who sponsored the amendment.
But Republican Senator Judd Gregg pointed out that the bill would defeat the purpose of indexing Social Security payments to inflation.
"The law says it shouldn't be given," Gregg said.
At least 10 Democrats agreed with Gregg and joined 40 Republicans to defeat the proposal.
