Putting it in perspective...One billion

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!!!!!!

Damn our military is GREAT!
