Huh? Too conservative for me? Never happen. Well wait, an overdose of religion could be too conservative for me. Long as I have a supply of beer and distance from neighbors I should do fine. Oh yeah, I want enough land to put my own rifle range in my backyard.

then look for land that borders the Eglin AFB Reservation (or "Range")... on the north side and you should be able to go out and blast off rounds without a problem.

When we move from here it will be somewhere with less humidity.

Well, now it looks like the President may have been right... Do you think there is a chance in Hades that the late night comedians, the political pundits, the major news networks and other assorted bottom-feeders will have the decency to apologize for ridiculing the President?

Economists See US Avoiding Recession

By ALEX VEIGA – 2 hours ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. economy will suffer as the slumping housing market eats away at job creation and consumer spending, but the nation should avoid slipping into a recession this year, according to a new economic report.
A recession could still happen though, if the credit crisis that has stifled the housing market deepens, preventing consumers from buying big-ticket items like cars and businesses from spending on equipment, according to the quarterly Anderson Forecast by the University of California at Los Angeles.
"We don't see that happening," said Edward Leamer, director and co-author of the forecast released Tuesday. "This is a tough call, but I will be very surprised if this thing actually precipitates into recession."
The forecast anticipates job growth remaining sluggish in 2008, with the U.S. unemployment rate rising to 5.5 percent by the end of the year. The February rate was 4.8 percent.
The forecast expects the economy to post gross domestic product growth of about 1.5 percent this year, rising to about 3 percent growth in 2009. GDP grew 2.2 percent in 2007, the weakest showing in five years.

It's still too early to tell for sure. Credit Card defaults and the housing market haven't hit bottom yet. The President is still an idiot.
