Phew...


What a day... I completed the two assignments in record time, and the best thing is, I'm FEELING BETTER! Woohoo!!! Thank You Lord!

This is going to be a post of GRAPHS...


There are 3 more days to go in October and the number of blog visits and page views for my blog had already surpassed the previous records of 471 visits and 666 page views (sheesh... what a number...). As you can see from the graph below, there are already 542 visits and 869 page views!!! Wow!!! A big thank you to Traveling Chemist, Donna, Inge', Small Footprints, Searching Soul, Ernestine, Ali and all the other visitors to my blog for the past 28 days! I surely hoped that my blog had been interesting and educational and kept you all entertained :D



Up, up, and AWAY..........



Seems like there's no end to the climb... Do you think it will reach 4.00?



Inge' posted something about her friend thinking that global warming is a hoax, based on Genesis 8:22. Do you think so? I don't think so and agree with Inge'... people just don't "fake" global temperatures... and that verse did not mean that the world temperature will remain the same for ages... just as this graph shows...



And save the best for last... the graph that all Americans hate...



The gross national debt compared to GDP reached its lowest level since 1931 as Reagan took office in 1981. It skyrocketed for 12 years through Bush I. Clinton reversed it at a peak of 67%. Bush II crossed that line on Sept 22 and hit 69% on Sept 30. That's the highest it's been since 1955 (53 years ago).

Bush II did three things to skyrocket the debt from $5.7 trillion to $10 trillion:
1. He lowered taxes on the rich (by far the biggest item).
2. He invaded Iraq instead of winning in Afghan-Pakistan (another $600 B).
3. He loosened controls on Wall Street.

As it happens, McCain backed all three policies:
(1) He backed Bush's tax cuts for the rich and now wants to give them BIGGER tax cuts.
(2) He was gung-ho for the Iraq war from the start.
(3) When Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin to name one time McCain suggested regulating Wall Street, she couldn't - because he never did. He crowed in the Wall Street Journal how he was always against regulation.


Obama opposed the first two and said Wall St. needed regulating.


Still can't decide who to vote for?
