A letter to all of us

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters,

We've stuck together since the late 1950s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know that we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and just will not ever agree on what's right. So let's just end it right now while we can do it on friendly terms. We can smile, shake hands, chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and each go our own way.

So here's a model separation agreement.

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a portion. That's going to be the difficult part, but I'm sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate taste. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can have those. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. And since you hate guns and you hate war, we'll take the firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. But you are going to be responsible for finding a biodiesel vehicle big enough to haul them around.

We'll keep the capitalism, the greedy corporations, the pharmaceutical companies; we will keep Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have the homeless, the homeboys, the hippies and illegal aliens. We will keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, the greedy CEOS and all of the rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and we'll let you have NBC and Hollywood.

You can be nice to Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer anybody that threatens us. You can have the peaceniks and the war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we will provide them with security. You won't have to worry about it. We will keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley Maclaine. You can also have the UN, but we will no longer pay the bill.

We will keep the SUVs, the pickup trucks and the oversize luxury cars. You can have the compacts, the subcompacts and every Subaru station wagon you can find. You can give everybody healthcare, if you can find any practicing doctors. We will continue to believe that healthcare is a privilege and not a right. We will keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and the national anthem, and I am sure you will be happy to substitute in their place "Imagine." I'd like to teach the world to sing "Kumbaya" or "We are the world." We will practice trickle-down economics and you can give trickle-up poverty your best shot. And since it so offends you, we will keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots. And if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the friendly spirit of parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in about 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J Wall

Law student and an American

P.S. You can also have Barbara Streisand and Jane Fonda

Spring Work

Yup it was the day, huge spring work need to be done, Time to plant, plant, plant!
Ben got tired of planting all the little things, and asked if there was something BIG to plant, and that it where it all started. I pointed over to the blue spruce tree that we had gotten at Christmas time and said "that needs to be planted, you man enough to do it?" Digging holes in this Alabama clay can be a pain in the butt! Well he was all man and ready for the job. He cut the sod away, and started digging the hole. Meanwhile I came in to fix lunch, I looked out the window to call them in for lunch and the hole was plenty deep enough for the small 1 gallon size tree we had. I told him it was plenty deep enough, (about 3 ft) and called the in for lunch. During lunch Ben kept talking about wanting to dig a 5 ft hole in one of his garden beds, just cuz he always wanted to dig a 5 ft hole. (wow I don't think we have enough work for this kid to do around here) We also talked about the water table and how it was only about 4 ft down. (The reason we don't have a basement, and the reason we can't have an in ground pool)
Anyway just as lunch was getting done, we got a phone call, some friends needed some help. so Chad and I left to go help them, we weren't gone very long, and when we got back this is what we found. And it all started with planting a tree.

Easter Weekend in Texas

It was a quick trip, but it was fun and packed with a lot of memories. Despite all the bad storms the drive was uneventful, in fact, wind and sunny skies were all we had to deal with. The kids were very well behaved, and we made awesome time. Our first stop was Tyler TX. Where we stayed the first night, It was fun and really relaxing. The kids did a lot of swimming in the over chlorinated marriot swimming pool. and then we had a fun dinner, and off to bed to get ready for the next day. Which was in Corsicana TX to attend the memorial service for Chad Grandmother. From there we were of to Austin. We spent a few hours talking, and settling in for the evening. And then it was off to bed. Sunday we woke up got ready for church, had a wonderful Easter service. Then an awesome easter egg hunt, one with CeAnna and Sameenah, and then a mega hide for the boys. It took them a long time to find all their eggs. Good thing I didn't use any chocolate eggs. In the process they found a baby opossum. Then after a wonderful Easter lunch/dinner We spent the afternoon and evening playing games and just talking. The Monday morning it was up bright and early and on the road again and home in our own beds, in a messy house Monday night
