The Fall of Atari

I found this video interesting. I still have an Atari 2600 and at least 30 carts!

Welfare Poem

I cross ocean,

Poor and broke,

Take bus,

See employment folk.

Nice man treat me

Good in there,

Say I need to

See welfare.

Welfare say,

'You come no more,

We send cash

Right to your door.'

Welfare checks,

They make you wealthy,

Medicaid it keep

You healthy!

By and by,

I get plenty money,

Thanks to you,

American dummy.

Write to friends

In motherland,

Tell them 'come

Fast as you can.'

They come in turbans

And Ford trucks,

I buy big house

With welfare bucks

They come here,

We live together,

More welfare checks,

It gets better!

Fourteen families,

They moving in,

But neighbor's patience

Wearing thin.

Finally, white guy

Moves away,

Now I buy his house,

And then I say,

'Find more aliens

For house to rent.'

And in the yard

I put a tent.

Send for family

They just trash,

But they, too,

Draw the welfare cash!

Everything is

Very good,

And soon we

Own the neighborhood.

We have hobby

it's called breeding,

Welfare pay

For baby feeding.

Kid's need dentist?

Wife's need pills?

We get free!

We got no bills!

American's crazy!

He pay all year,

To keep welfare

Running here.

We think America

Darn good place!

Too darn good for

The white man race.

If they no like us,

They can scram,

Got lots of room in Pakistan.

I got the following information sent to me along with this poem. Can anybody verify the or disprove the following information?

It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.00. And each can also get an additional $580.00 in social assistance for a total of $2,470.00 .

This compares very well to a single pensioner who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 5 0 years can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Almost Forgot to Relax

It's been a busy week. We had VBS all week and that means my day off (Friday) is the busiest day of my week cleaning up after the event. (AWESOME week of VBS...115 kids, 6 decisions for Christ). Saturday was preparing for today (I got to preach today) and then today started out early getting everything ready for the iGrow class and the service. After church, went out to eat with my parents, I updated the church web page, took a short nap and paid bills. I finished all of this around 6pm and was trying to decide if I should mow my lawn or get a head start on my premarital counseling for this week. It's been a busy week and my mind was still in "go" gear.

Instead, I decided to take a couple hours and go for a motorcycle ride. I called a couple buddies, but nobody was home, so I headed out by myself. I headed south toward Venus an then veered off onto a random Country Road. I had the GPS with me so I would not get lost and I took one Country Road after the other heading south and west until I ended up in Alvarado. I came back home through Lillian, Rendon and Kennedale never getting onto a major highway. It turned out to be the absolutely perfect, relaxing motorcycle ride that I needed. 70 miles in 2.5 hours (with a stop over at Dairy Queen) on country roads.

I almost forgot to relax today...glad I didn't. Excellent way to end a busy week and prepare for the coming week.
