PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SUCKS

(Guest Writer: Indian Aaron)

Dexter whined at me to write something Poly tickle. Here goes:

I keep hearing all these people talking about publicly funded transportation and they're planning to spend Hunnerds and Hunnerds of Millions of Dollars of our state taxes to benefit some folks in King and Snohomish county. According to those guys at the Washington Policy Center the cost will average about $185,000 per person.

Holy smokes! just like subsidizing farmers not to grow crops, Pay these guys not to work.

Buy each one of 'em a Harley, especially that new badass Harley Crossbones! Maybe around $16,795msrp. (they're finally starting to build a motorcycle that looks like a motorcycle should again. Too bad it don't come with a knucklehead! I still prefer INDIAN!!!)

That leaves $165,000 per person. Well if they earn what I do, then they should be able to stay home for about 4 years.

What these guys who want us all on busses don't get is that it will not work in areas like the West. We have had our attitudes for too many generations. It is a cultural problem for them.

" I got my horse, you get your own horse, Dammit!" Got it figured out yet smart guys?

What benefit is there for me on a bus?

What if part way through the busride, I see a road I want to go on? Will the driver change directions for me? NO.

How about grocery shopping?

Or hauling lumber,

or gravel?

Or just opening up the throttle with a hot Babe on the back and enjoying the day?

Every real American male should have a Motorcycle and pick up Truck! Then find a hot babe to marry who owns a Jeep. (not an SUV, but a Real JEEP dammit! If she is a hot babe and her JEEP says WILLY"S on the back with a PTO winch up front...Bonus!)

What about picking up hot babes?

Hey baby, wanna ride with me on the bus?

or...

Hey baby, wanna ride my shovelhead?

Who do you think is going to have a better chance?

Finally, I pay for my ride and subsidizing your ride is as silly as the rest of us buying a bunch of people in King and Snohomish counties a Harley. Or as silly as the rest of us buying your busses for you. Busses are great for Socialist countries like France and Cananda, But not for Americans. The Motorcycle and Muscle car is our culture.

When I was overseas, every European I met described Americans as wearing Cowboy Hats and Giant Revolvers, Racing Big Muscle Cars, Riding Big Loud Motorcycles and We all listen to Hank Williams Jr. and eat Big Greasy Hamburgers and Drink Cheap Beer by the case, and spit Skoal in the Dirt and Pee on trees! We open doors for ladies, and love our moms! We'll fight in public and buy the loser a beer.

I gotta agree with 'em, even though they were tryin' to insult me with this "of course you know" attitude and lookin' down their collectivist nose at me. That is our contribution to World Culture! You sure as hell can't do all this in FRANCE!!!

Don't know 'bout anybody else, but it looks like a fine day to ride! I sure as hell don't mean the bus! As for my biker buddies, If yer waitin' for the sun, I'll have thousands of miles on my bike this year before you stop polishing yours.

Watch out for cages, and remember, none of 'em see us. Always give the cage the right of way, cause they're probably in a hurry and the cell phone is in their ear, their radio is on NPR, their wrapped up in their own little world. Watch for them kommuniste group transportation cages too.

I have seen 'em turn with no signals and blow yeelow lights with a very RED tint. (I know, they're not supposed to do that, but the closer you get to the BIG cities, the ruder and arrogant the bus drivers are. been there done that you can have my @#$%ing shirt!)

OPEN THROTTLE AND RIDE FREE OR DIE, BABY!!!

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

Here's the problems with Our current Governor's so called Fiscal Responsibility:

· Governor Gregoire has increased spending by 33%, blown through a $2.1 billion surplus and has set us up for a $937 million deficit by the next budget. (Source: 2006 Supplemental Omnibus Budget Overview; Washington Economic Revenue Forecast, March 2007; Washington State Senate Ways and Means Committee, Six Year Outlook, January 2008.)
· During the 2004 campaign, Gregoire promised no tax increases. Right after being certified as governor, the Seattle Times asked her if she would keep her no-tax promise. She answered: "Well.I never really said NO taxes." (Seattle Times, Full plate to greet Gregoire, 12/31/04) She then raised taxes by nearly half a billion dollars - equal to $4,000 in new spending per family. (Seattle Times, What Governor Gregoire said - and did, 5/1/05)
· Gregoire also supports a state income tax. She told the Spokesman-Review this in April 2007, and said the public has not been sufficiently educated on its merits. (Spokesman Review, Public education is first step to updating system, 4/25/07)

Here are the solutions from our next Governor, Mr. Rossi!

· Dino is committed to responsible state spending and efficient use of your tax dollars. As state senator in 2003, he chaired the committee that wrote the state budget. Despite facing a multibillion-dollar deficit, he wrote a budget that paid for state services and protected our most vulnerable citizens - without raising taxes.
· He does not support a state income tax or the death tax.
· As state senator, he joined Gov. Gary Locke in backing "Priorities of Government" for state budgeting. This process identified the most important functions of state government and prioritized spending accordingly. As governor, he will restore the "Priorities of Government."
· Dino will keep the size of state government in check and only hire new employees when there's a need.

POLITICAL GRAFFITI

After reading a diatribe by somebody who has taken offense that one of my writers was born with the initials gk, I couldn't believe it. Is this guy serious? It seems so.

I had no idea, that only one person in the entire world wide web is allowed to use his own initials.
Amazing, I learn something new every day. I have had comments to columns written by gk on my site that have emphatically stated that there can only be one gk and the gk who writes for me better find new initials to sign with.

For those of you who may be confused, there are no collectivists who write for me. If you are looking for anti- property rights columns, then you are most definately at the wrong site. This site is not going to appeal to your sensibilities.

If it were not for several e-mails that I recieved about this column on another site, ( A very good one, if I might add; I don't agree with all of their columns, but I do like the idea of the government doing the public's business in public or some such. ) I wouldn't address this topic.
But here goes, No one chooses their birth initials, so if you meet someone who may have your initials, don't be too dissapointed. I would suspect that this is very common.

But I gotta admit, this other fella gave me an inspirational concept: Political Graffiti. Poly-Tagging, I like it!
I think that I shall run with it. My new subheading for my group may very well become:

OLYMPIA NEEDS ADULT SUPERVISION (2)

Our State is over $600 million in debt and that is climbing rapidly. Governor Gregoire's and her band of Democrats New budget will put us another Billion in debt by the end of the year. What are they doing about it. Nothing! well not nothing, exactly, but they are proposing more spending. Much of it on projects we don't need.

In addition the Governor is proposing to do this on the backs of hard working men and women who built her party in the 20th century. Welcome to the Big Tent Party of the 21st Century, The GOP.

Our current Governor has been in State government for 38 years. That is long enough. It is time to clean out the unsupervised culture of failure in Olympia.

Here in Whatcom County we need to overwhelmingly send back DINO to a third victory, and this time one so large that the magic ballot box in King County can't produce enough Fraudulent ballots to give her any chance.

400,000 illegal registrations have been removed since 04. No more felons or dead people voting. State auditors all have one database now, so some less than honest folks can't vote in multiple counties.

This time, Our soldiers who are overseas will have their ballots mailed in time to count their votes.

Along with Dino, let's send back Doug Erickson and Add Jere Hawn. Otherwise, the Governor will turn your $30 car tabs into $500 car tabs with the emissions punishment tax, the engine size tax, Her health care payroll tax, her new State Income tax, that she says the citizens of Washington will just have to get used to, because they aren't educated enough, yet to know why we will like more money being taken out of our paychecks.

Olympia truly needs Adult Supervision before they run their giant shopping cart of spending and taxing on a downhill collision harming everyone in it's way.
