Washington, H.P.

At breakfast this morning, Jon and I were discussing why Washington, D.C. is called "D.C." ( the District of Columbia). The Washington part is easy. It's named after our first President, George Washington. For me, the "D.C." part was too far back into the recceses of my brain to remember much about it.

 It's been a while since high school history class. So...I googled it. And this is what I found out: While George W. was rowing down the Potomac with his band of merry men, they all decided to get out some wacky tobacco from Columbia. They got so stoned, they decided to make Washington the capital of the United States of America without making it a state.

In 1791, after smoking seven boatloads of pot (wacky tobacco), our forefathers dedcided to call the land surrounding Virginia and Maryland, Washington, D.C., which comprises the Potomac River and other tributaries including the Amazon. That's the the real story. And I'm stickin' to it.

With all the shenanigans going on with our politicians, we need to call our legislatures and have them put a law into practice changing Washington, D.C. to Washington, H.P.  We all know what "H.P." stands for.

P.S. I got a D in history.

The Washington Weasels

The Washington Weasels is NOT a sports team. It's not even a team at all. It's a group of loosy goosy government bureaucrats whose main purpose in life is to see how much money than can extract from the people who voted them into office in the first place.

On the other hand, The Washington Weasels could be a great name for a baseball team. Our commander-in chief could be the pitcher, while our VP could be catcher. Instead of throwing and catching a baseball, they could continue throwing and catching horse pucky.

General McChrystal is perfect as centerfielder. That's what he does in Afghanistan. The poor man has been in battle so long, he thinks he's part of the Afghan culture, coupled with having loose lips.

Since 1862 our taxes continue to rise. It doesn't matter who's been in office or what Party our U.S. President has been affiliated with. They are all dependent on taxpayers for whatever ails them, our country, or other countries.

Do you realize, in 2010 our individual local, state, and federal taxes will be more than food, clothing, and shelter!? I'm really happy I know someone who drives a sixteen wheeler. He'll be happy to dump a 100 tons of horse pucky on the steps of the White House.
