The next time you hear a politician use the
words "billion" casually, think about whether you want
that politician spending your tax money. A billion is a
difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency
did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in
one of its releases:A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the
Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate Washington spends it.
The Democrats are complaining on how long the war is
taking but consider this:
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno
to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day
operation.
It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it
took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing
records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the
Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it
took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile
sunk at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count
the votes in Florida!!!!!!
Dang our military is GREAT !
