Think about this!
-----------------
As you may have heard, the Bush Administration said each
of us would get a rebate check to stimulate the economy
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer, it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to
Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan.
NONE of it will help the American economy.
We need to keep that money here in America.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend
it at YARD SALES since those are the only businesses still
in the United States.

I'm using mine to pay the babysitter, go to the local farmers market and pick up some of those juicy midwest tomatos and buy a beer or two at the next Cubs game! |

I am inclined to beleive everything above, except the bold red. My mustang has an American motor, reworked by an American race team, and I wouldn't trade it for a hundred Toynoters, or sickzeakys.  Good ol American Muscle !!!  We need to use some of it to beat the $#!+ out of the terrorists trying to destroy us from within our financial system. Yepppeee----stand em up, and run em over.

Westburbs, TWT, and all, I also took this as humorous, it actually reminded me of that scene in Armageddon(Think that was it) where the Russian cosmonaut said " " American parts, Russian parts......ALL MADE IN TAIWAN " " Tony P. |
