Five More Days

(Due to the overwhelming response I received from my last post, I will no longer be posting political views...HA! FYI: If I don't know you, I won't post your comments; nothing personal, just my policy.)

Because my husband is so incredibly AWESOME (not to mention my father-in-law, who has made the completion of our house his full time job!) we will be moving this weekend! HOORAY!!! I am sooooo happy to be moving into our house. Not that this rental hasn't been great because it has, but I can say with certainty that everyone is ready for more SPACE. Especially Lukas who has shared a room with the three little kids and has just about had a nervous breakdown over it! (Poor little stressed out kid:)
I am taking pictures today of our house and will post them for all of you who live far, far away and can't come visit us:-(

I have had ENOUGH!!!

I have NEVER posted a political blog in my life, but this made me FURIOUS!

After years of listening to our media tell us that the Democrats were on the side of the downtrodden and poor and the Republicans were greedy and selfish Americans...I have had enough.

In 2007, Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, earned $319,853 in adjusted gross income. How much of that did they give to charity? LESS than 1% of their income. Over the past decade they reported giving an average of $369 a year to charity!
Obama and his wife made $1.2 million dollars between 2000 - 2004. There "generous" gifts to charity...less than 1%

In 2006 AND 2007 John McCain gave more than $202,000...26% of his income.
Of George W. Bush's taxable income, he gave 11.5% in 2004 12.2% in 2005 and 12.1% in 2006

Need I say more?
