ARRR! Well, It be that time o' year again, yes, it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day! So ye better be talkin' like one, ye scurvy landlubber! If ye need some help talkin' like a pirate, ye'd best be 'eading over here! Don't forget, or I'll have teh stove yer blockhouse like a rum puncheon, keel haul ye, and then make yeh walk the plank!
In other news, I 'ad to bike ter school today, 'cause me brother needed to go to the ship's doctor to get a check up, after the misshap with the horse. That t'was intrestin'. I didn't take me fiddle, because it'd be hard ter ride with it, so I used one o' the school 'uns.
Oh, and here be one o' my favorite geomytry theorum? Postulate? I don't know, but 'ere it is! It's when yeh've got yer two lines, like this: _ \__ And ye've got the realationship with the angles
\
that them two lines make, whith the opposite angles bein' equal, and them makin' supplementary angles too! It's mighty fine, that 'n!
Also, today in me government book (I'm takin' it this year) I read something interestin' that goes with some things I heard on the radio last night. So this radio talk show guy (no idea who he was...) was talkin' about how Obama's vice president (I'm pretty sure it was him) was sayin' how people should give more money to the government, and how they'll raise taxes and give the extra money to the middle class if they get elected. So I was reading in my government book and it was talkin' about this part in the constitution (article one, section eight, to be exact): "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; . . ." And then in me government book, it said,: ". . . Let us first notice that the government is authorized to levy taxes for the general welfair. That ould be understood as a restrictive clause, aproving taxation for the binifit of all, but not for any part or portion of the populatin or peoples in the country."* And then, a few pages over it says, ". . . The phrase in the taxation clause** is restrictive instead of being a grant of power. It denies the use of taxing power for local, regional, state, or class purposes."*** So does this mean that it goes agianst the constitution to raise taxes and give extra money to the middle class? I think it might. What do you think? Well, that's my two cents, anyways. All I know for sure is that whoever becomes president, God put there, and He has a reason for it. So we really shouldn't go complaining, because that would be complaining about God.
Okay, I think I don't have anyting else to say now. so this'll be good bye to yeh, ye mangy gibbon! Now be off, before I keel haul yeh!
