TheMasterOfTheUniverse and I were talking about the economy tonight decrying the daily depressing news. Trying to be insightful.
Deciding to speak openly about the evil we believe that NAFTA has brought to America and to all Americans.
The first thing we think needs to be done is reinvest in America, give Westinghouse, May Tag, Emerson, Dow Chemical, Eastman Kodak, Goodrich,Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Hamilton Beach/Procter-Silex a reason to bring these companies back to America.

Give them the money to build factories, tax free if necessary for 5 yrs. Michelle Malkin lists just how terrifying the true situation is with Obama Jobs Death Toll.

For a complete list of American companies that do business overseas go here. Lou Dobbs (formerly) at CNN now hosting his own wonderful show had a pretty darn complete list.

Obviously the NAFTA agreement is shafting Americans, interestingly enough a quick search on Google, (who is also operating overseas) turned up a gem by Down With Tyranny blog. With lets fight nafta battle all over again.Read it.

It’s time to face some hard facts, America cannot recover with our money going overseas. Nafta has to end, fact. Money must be invested in America in order for the economy to recover, fact.
It is just that simple.

If we have to (further) tighten our belts and live without a new washer for a couple of years, or a new phone
or lets face it anything that is not essential to life to restore our country I’m sure we are all more than willing to do it.

At this point most of us are concerned with keeping a roof over our heads and food in our stomaches.

We continue to point fingers in the who’s to blame game, but frankly it’s a futile exercise. We can no longer enjoy the complacency of the blame game.

We need leadership who is willing and able to make unpopular decisions and stand by them come hell or high water.
Because the water is rising and America is going to be swept away
unless we reinvest and start buying American.

In order to Buy American. We have to Build it in America.
Lets INVEST in our country for a change.
Before it’s to late.

Finally..

On April 20 The Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded resulting in a well head leak that has gushed up to 130 million gallons of oil into the sea.It also cost 11 lives and injured critically 7 others. The crew totaled 126.

For 70 days the government allowed BP to handle all attempts at containment and cleanup, we hear
that the govt. is graciously accepting offers of aid. Finally. Thank God.

For whatever reason the government has finally decided to show
a glimmer of intelligence and is ” allowing” 12 countries and international
organizations to assist the USA in cleaning up what is the worst
disaster in history, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill..
Japan, is providing two high-speed skimmers and fire containment boom was the only county named to date.

Thank you to all who have offered.

We can only hope that beach volunteers will be accepted soon as well.

BP whose track record speaks so clearly for its self, is impressing no one nor fooling anyone
with their “We Care” act. Actions speak louder than words as the families of those who died aboard
the platform know.As the world knows watching the oil gush through that pipe, safety, Heh!
Costs too much and slows you down right BP?

We know BP has been lying through their teeth
we suspect that the govt has been also, so now finally a move in the right direction.

That sounds wonderful….. problem is that it’s a bit early to worry about cleanup, when the well
is not contained in any manner. Again I have to ask why is the corp of engineers not on this like….well….
Pick your metaphor…………

Where is our navy? Why are we not using our abilities to solve this problem ?
Why are we not using every available asset to get this under control?

At a conservative estimate of 1,470,000 GAL/DAY that’s a hell of a lot of oil……………..

wave of oil

My father always said the truth needed no defence.

BP and the US Goverment have proven that is not a concept they are ready to embrace.
While daily news gets grimmer, we have to ask, where is the outrage, where is the disbeliefthat a company
would be so greedy as to put the entire planet at risk, yes the entire planet.

I along with I hope most of you will be watch and asking questions, like
why wasnt the arny corp of engenieers called in, why were other options not tried?
They could have fixed this weeks ago, or at least been honest and told us where we stand.

Telling us everythings going to be ok is not going to cut it.
I intend to start documenting, and posting my findings.

Bear with me as I am still fighting for strength, but this is bigger then you or I, this
is the fate of earth and life as we know it.

We all know that fairy GodMothers come in all sizes and shapes, but the single common denominator is that they Care. They Want to right the wrongs and often practice random acts of kindness.

I had ordered a set of tunnels from Fresh Steps My Paw Print point
program, it took me 2 years with 3 Bengal cats to save the points.
What I thought I was getting was this:
Cute cat tunnel

What I actually got was this…What a fine tunnel this is!

So the letters to what turned out to be a bunch of Wonderful women
began. How were The Bengal Brats To Know That Fairy Godmothers were on the rescue.

What the Fairy Godmothers sent was this,
a box filled to the brim with kitty goodness.A few pictures I’ll post each day so you can all enjoy them too.
All we could say was HOLY CATS.
TheMasterOfTheUniverse and I Thought we would let pictures
tell their own stories.

Auntie MLand Auntie Deb The Brats send their thanks, love, and some not to hard head butts.

I don’t know how many of you use Fresh Step Cat Litter.
We do, because our Brats like it, have far fewer accidents and don’t thow the litter 600 feet in all directions when their finished… how do they do that anyway?

Well a perk so to speak is that you get points for purchasing their product. It’s not a huge amount. In 2 years I had accumulated just about 1400 points.

So, Not being up to shopping for Tigger and having this 2000.00 dollar annual medical co-pay and out of pocket fee for insurance I ordered 2 of them using 1200 points. It was a belated birthday day gift for Tigger, and one for Sir Woody and the smart one SonnyBob.

Well, they arrived and to say they were A MAJOR PIECE OF UNBURIED CAT POOP a disappointment is a MAJOR understatement.

Into the picture comes Miss Bonnie, who is owned by the somewhat errr haughty Cheysuli, I meant to say Chey The Beauty, and Bonnie have reached out to us through all of this illness (as has Jan from Jan’s Funny Farm.)

But Bonnie understood when I was to sick to write, not that I was being a brat but I was just to sick! And when that goes on for years people naturally get tired of it, Unless you have dealt with someone who is chronically ill, then the the picture changes.
I honestly never wrote Jan and explained what was going on, so it is entirety my fault, cause she reached out to me. (This is all background, be patient,) the miracle is coming!!!!!

So a few weeks ago I wrote Bonnie to vent about Paw-Points and what a rip off they had been to us, and then to add insult to injury, they were disrespectful.

I did quite a bit of venting to poor Bonnie!!!!!

She suggested that I contact ML at the CatBlogoSphere so I did. She contacted Deb and off they went!

Fairy Godmothers Do Exist.
Ask Tigger, or SirWoody, or SonnyBob.
They will tell you that Fairy Godmothers Do Exist.

Tomorrow I will show you why.
