    An Israeli doctor says,' Medicine in my country is so

    Advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in

    Another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.'


    A German doctor says,' that is nothing; we can take a

    Lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him

    Looking for work in four weeks.'


    A Russian doctor says,' in my country, medicine is so

    Advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person,

    Put it in another, and have them both looking for work in

    Two weeks.


    The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, says, 'You guys are

    Way behind, we recently took a man with no brains out of

    Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now

    Half the country is looking for work.'

    That's pretty funny.

    How are things in central OR. I read in the Oregonina today that unemployment beneifts rose the most in central Oregon . . . they had graphs and showed that only did unemployment benifits rose the fastest out there but unemployment rate is the highest in Oregon.

    Does it feel as bad as the Oregonian makes it out to be?

    3 years into his presidency, Bill Clinton jogged into a MacDonald's for some burgers.

    He asked the fellow flipping burgers how things were going.

    "Not too good these days," said the fellow. "The economy sucks."

    "Sucks?" said Clinton, "But since I've been in office there've been 8 million new jobs made!"

    "Yeah, and I have three of them"

    People are hard hit here.

    If you don't count the illegal aliens (who are ALL employed) we have about a 30% unemployment rate .

    Over 1400 foreclosures this year and snowballing fast.


    On the bright side, if you're gonna starve to death in a tent, there are few places as nice to die in.

    And if you have money, it's a great time to find a deal if you're looking for a vacation home in Beautiful Central Oregon.
