How the economy has hurt us …

Some people have not really felt the effects of the economy.
You know, the rich people who don’t know what a days work is being that they have never done one!
The rest of us have scene gas prices go up, food prices rise because of gas prices going up and so many other variations that are to many to say in this silly part of the web I call my own, AKA my Bloguverse.
I, like so many others, have not gotten a raise in years.
There is even now a bill trying to take away 4 recent of my pay because us state employees make too much I guess.
Wow, when did that start and what am I doing with all that crazy cash?
It must be La Wife taking all of it to buy shoes, then having a storage unit to keep them in, then the gas to and fro to said storage unit to get said shoes … yea I think it is just a lie being put forth from our lovely government.
You know, the people that we elected in to keep us safe and protect us from things like this from happening!
I have a thought, lets see … if I voted for the pay cut, after they just gave themselves one I might add, does that sound like a good ideal if I wanted to get re-elected?
I mean ALL of the state employees must have a little voting power … right?
La Wife and I are living on the High Hog in real life terms.
We have a house, 2 vehicle (That are reliable) and jobs with benefits that don’t make us hate ourselves everyday when we go to them.
In this modern world that is saying so much!
We have had to cut out on … wait actually we haven’t had to change anything and in fact bought a new house, so again I have no room to complain.
This week though something did effect me.
I don’t normally talk about other people, so please take this as and for what it is …
Something bad, and all around rather upsetting.
We, who live in Central Florida anyway, know a man.
Some would say a Legend and some might say a myth when it comes to some of the stories about his greatness.
This man, has been called a Messiah.
He has single handedly whooped more men behind completely random locations then any combination of gangs out on the streets can claim as a whole.
He has written music to entertain us, making us both laugh and cry at times
He has supported our troops and stood up for the underdog.
So, if you haven’t figured it out, or heard because it did make the Orlando Sentinel’s front page … Bubby ‘Whoop Ass’ Wilson was let go do to budget cuts from Clear Channel Communications only show standing up against Howard Stern, The Monster in the Morning.
I know this kind of sounds like a joke but I think I need to pay some tribute to this man.
All joking aside …
He has made me laugh, he has made me darn near cry at times, he has made me stop and think, he has reminded me DAILY that we have troops over seas and then reminded me why they were over there.
I have listened to him for over a decade, wow that’s a long time now that I think about it.
The Monsters will go on, unhappily I might add form what they keep saying, and they will also keep supporting him, having him on the show when ever they can … just without pay.
So, the big economy finally hit me and I don’t like it!
Thanks a lot all you government types who are supposed to be looking out for us and just refuse to because money is more important then keeping your word as to what you would do for us as, the people depending on you.
It hurt me because I have lost someone I enjoy before his time.
I have it easy though.
He, like so many other people in the US, is now unemployed and having to worry about his family and how to pay the bills.
Wow, thanks big business and government!
We might be the greatest place in the world to live, and I do believe that, but I’ll be darned if we don’t need some help up in Washington!
I should run for some type of government position, I don’t know how to make people believe that I am going to look out for them but darn it I’m not going to get paid off and side with the wrong group for just a few bucks in my pocket!

So Bubba, like you have done to and for so many others, I salute you!
Thank you for ‘Ready for the Weekend’, ‘Southern Girls’ and every other song you have ever written.
To say you will be missed is a grave understatement …
