The Main Result Of Hobby Lobby

The Libs are in a tither because SCOTUS ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. If you're reading this and you don't know about what I'm writing then go watch Ellen or another inane show. Here it is in a nutshell: From now on women are going to have to spend $9.00 a month out of their own pockets for birth control. That's it.
Let's put it another way. In a thirty day period the Sandra Fluke's of the world will be going without two skinny latte's from Starbucks.
Ms. Fluke has already weighed in on how she's getting screwed(no pun intended) by this decision via twitter. My own personal advice for Sandra and her birth control dilemma would be to: (1) don't date guys who are dead drunk and (2) have her keep the bedroom lights on.

It's A Sad Day At The Lake

We purchased our Minnesota lake home twenty years ago this month. We're in the woods north of civilization by about thirty miles and the lake, Ten Mile, is one of the most pristine in the State. Unlike many lakes ours has a beauty all it's own. The water clarity is twenty feet. At its deepest point one could drop a plumb line down to two hundred ten feet. Aside from Lake Superior it's the deepest lake in Minnesota. Beginning around ten yesterday morning the winds began to blow, thirty to forty miles an hour. The waves were crashing over the docks to the point that dock slats were all over the 5,000 acre body of water. Boats were being flipped in the water from their lifts at the delight of each wave. My daughter, visiting from Texas, happened to look out our front window and saw the slats bobbing on the dock frame and made a beeline to the shore before they made a break for open water As it was some of these, five in all, found themselves floating away to various parts of other properties. Four of my neighbors who have lived in these parts for years concur that the waves were the highest ever seen.
One of the first things I noticed about our property in 1994 was a certain pine tree that protruded outward toward the lake on a horizontal plane. It was forty feet in length and was positioned ten feet above the shore. I always asked myself how this gift from God could survive the harshest of winters, torrential rains and devastating winds often seen in this part of the nation. Every year I'd look at that pine and marvel at its strength and dominance as it mastered the elements. I thought it was virtually indestructible. Two days ago I gazed at it as I was docking the boat after a morning of fishing. I will not be able look at it anymore because the wind finally got the best of it. The entire base, roots and all, are in the water. As with all of us nature is still the conqueror. It's quite sad, really. Like a good friend who nurtured us with their presence our special pine will soon leave the property, taken away by some lumber company and disposed of accordingly. Even so, I will always have the memory of that one majestic pine that graced our lake bank for so many, many years.

Three Teenagers Found Murdered in Israeli

Three teenagers, one an American, were found murdered in Israel, allegedly by Hamas. The Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, went into emergency session upon hearing the news. I can promise that they will not draw a Red Line in dealing with the murdering thugs. I ask you, what kind of despicable people would harm these defenseless children? Retribution on a massive scale will occur in a matter of hours and deservedly so. Don't mess with Israel.

The Israeli government has confirmed reports initially surfacing at the Associated Press and the New York Times that the bodies of three Israeli teenagers reported missing earlier this month have been found. The Israeli cabinet is conducting an emergency meeting on the matter. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/06/30/Report-Kidnapped-Israeli-Teens-Found-Dead-Israeli-Cabinet-in-Emergency-Meeting

Keystone Pipeline Oil Will Flow----To Asia

 

The Keystone Pipeline project was expected to create tens of thousands of high paying jobs in the oil industry. The project itself would create 20,000 construction jobs. And the pipeline would bring oil from Canada and North Dakota to refineries in the United States.
The proposed project would have extended from Alberta, Canada to Illinois, transporting approximately 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Estimated cost is $1.7 billion.
But Obama rejected the plan in 2011 and 2014.
Democrats are beholden to the radical green movement – the poor and middle class be damned.
Now this…
Canada pulled the plug on Keystone and will send the oil to Asia. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/06/report-canada-pulls-plug-on-keystone-pipeline-will-send-oil-to-asia/

We're All Muslims Now

The US Air Force kicked Christian Gideon’s volunteers off base in March. The Bibles were too offensive and violated the separation of church and state rule.
But US military personnel are expected to adhere Islamic practices during Ramadan.

Poor Hilly Mae

Pity The Clinton's

Bill Clinton was once paid an astonishing $1.3 million for two days worth of speeches, an analysis of Clinton's finances published today shows.

On another occasion he hauled in $1.4 million for speeches given during a a seven-day sprint across Europe.

A comprehensive look at Clinton's post presidency pay day by The Washington Post reveals Bill really has been working 'very hard' to bring in the bacon for his family, giving 542 paid speeches since his term ended.

The Post determined that Clinton made $104.9 million off of his speeches between 2001 and early 2013.

ISIS In Iraq

It's not the first nor is it the last time we'll see crucifixions throughout Muslim dominated nations. Nice job, Barack. It was so good reading your greetings to the Muslim world on the eve of Ramadan.
What the heck. You're one of them.

What The H Is Going On

wKVOA, News 4 in Tucson, reports that in the early morning hours on Thursday, a Mexican military helicopter crossed the border and fired upon U.S. Border Patrol Agents. This happened in an area where Arizona borders Mexico west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O’Odham Nation.
Reportedly, after the helicopter fired upon the Border Patrol and returned, officials in Mexico contacted U.S. officials to apologize.
Border Patrol indicated that no one was injure during this direct attack on U.S. Border Patrol Agents by the Mexican Military. http://www.tpnn.com/2014/06/27/act-of-war-mexican-military-crosses-border-fires-on-u-s/

A Nation Of Dunces

This will be an off the cuff post. My daughter, son in law and grandchildren are about to arrive at our Minnesota lake cabin. The car is unloaded and groceries in the icebox(just to screw up anyone under fifty). We are the recipients of three television channels and up popped Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News. Brian had a thirty second story and seemed to be pleased with the result. Here goes: "Four out of Ten Americans know which political party holds the House and which the Senate". Think about it.
This reminds me of Jesse Watters from O'Reilly's show when he does a segment called Watters World. Watters, in a humorous and non-condescending tone interviews people on the street asking questions with common sense answers. A few weeks ago he was on the campus of Princeton. The question was, "Who is the vice-President of the United States"? I'm sure the tape was edited but of the ten asked only one knew they answer. All of them knew that Happy was the Academy Award winning song. Nuff said.
I think I've come across the reason for this cultural demise and if you hang with me I can present it better in the next post. This is what's called a tease.

From This Administration There's Always An Excuse

"The US economy suffered its worst performance for five years in the first quarter of 2014, latest figures show.

The economy shrank at an annualised rate of 2.9% in the first three months of the year, the third estimate from the US Commerce Department showed.
This was worse than the previous estimate of a 1% contraction, and also worse than economists' expectations.
However, the economy is expected to have recorded a sharp recovery during the second quarter of the year.
Spending downgrade
The unusually cold weather in the first quarter of the year has been blamed for the poor performance of the economy". http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28012760

I'm trying to come up with more excuses for the next quarter: drought, tornadoes, herpes, measles, minimum wage, maximum wage, overweight conservatives, underweight conservatives, Catholics, not enough abortions, deviated septum's. It's an endless list. I've got a clue. How about the government butting out and let business run its course.

Did It Have Anything To Do With Guns

Once again the media has skewered the news by being lap dogs for Barry O. Bowe Berghdal received White House sympathy in the Rose Garden for being a hero until it was found out he isn't all he was cracked up to be. Are you familiar with the name of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi? Probably not because the media doesn't want you to know. Why? Because you'll care. You see, Sgt. Tahmooressi, a Purple Heart recipient, was arrested by Mexican authorities after he accidentally took a wrong turn at our southern border into Mexico. He's been languishing in a jail cell for over 80 days. Our country is being overrun on a daily basis by MS13 thugs and drug cartel murderers and this administration expects us to put up with this crap. The media sits idly by when the government tells them to stay away from the border and to not ask questions. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you really need them? Oops, I forgot, Nixon was a Republican. John Kerry plays hop scotch around the world bloviating about global warming and putting gays and lesbians in ambassadorships but not a peep out of our Sec. of State in regard to this deplorable situation. And President 'In Absentia' Obama is on the golf course and could care less. Now, were I the head of this nation I would have been on the phone from day one to the Mexican President, Enrique Nieto, with a do or die "ultimato Senior". Did I mention that Sgt. Tahmooressi was apprehended with three weapons, all registered. It's my guess that Barry's inactivity is retribution to the gun crowd. And you can take that to the bank.

We Still Support The Clinton's To The Tune Of $1 Million Yearly

Continual gossip and front page news about the lack of money in Bill and Hillary's back account is so delicious to read. The American people support 'The Grifters' by giving them a one million dollar gift on a yearly basis. A Mill isn't all that much in the big scheme of things---unless one cannot afford to buy sliced turkey at Kroger's for $9 a lb. or gasoline at $4 a gallon. 2014, for me, is like 1976. Every time I open my wallet I count my cash to see if I can make it to the end of the month.
Another article from the UK Daily Mail shows how the great unwashed keep one of the worst couple in America(tied with the Obama's)in an opulent lifestyle.

Bill Clinton said Tuesday his wife's claim that they were 'dead broke' after his presidency was 'factually true'

He and Hillary are not 'out of touch,' he insisted, because they go to the grocery store and 'talk to people in our town'

An April Congressional Research Service report found that the federal government has spent $15.9 million on Bill Clinton's retirement since 2001

He got $1.28 million in benefits the year after he left office

Clinton said Tuesday that attacking his wife as a wealthy elite in the run-up to the 2016 election is 'the wrong debate'

This year Clinton's costs include a $201,000 pension, $157,000 for staff salaries and benefits, $414,000 for office space and $9,000 for phone bills

Washington Redskins Logo

The Congress Critters in Dee Cee and the LSM are up in arms over the Washington Redskin logo. Yet, the man who suggested the Indian Chief logo for the team was Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a Blackfeet Nation political leader and then president of the National Congress of American Indians.
From the Helenair, November 2003:

“Back then, (in the 1960s) there was only the letter “R” on the helmet, so I requested a few pictures to be sent down from my reservation of Indian chiefs,” Wetzel explained.
Walter “Blackie” Wetzel said he walked into the office of the Washington Redskins and said, “I came here to see you guys about seeing a real Indian on the helmets.”
He said a person told him that they would look over his proposal and consider it.
After the team finally picked his idea, he said, he felt really proud — and has ever since — seeing the Indian chief on the helmet.

Don Wetzel: Don’t call Redskins logo offensive

Would You Like One Cialis Or None

How much courage do you have? If I told you a pill was available for consumption that might give you icky and painful symptoms would you swallow it daily? Wait! Taking one each night might be overly optimistic for most of us over age 55 so let's say three times weekly. Read down the list of side effects of this magical piece of medical ingenuity and answer honestly: "Is it worth the time, effort and suffering"? Most normal men will give a response of, "Your damned right it is"! If you haven't guessed by now what I've placed before your eyes are reactions one might expect from the ED pill called Cialis. So, let me comment on these according to how I'd respond:

changes in vision or sudden vision loss; (no big deal)
ringing in your ears, or sudden hearing loss; (no big deal)
chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling; (what it's like after a night of heavy drinking-go to bed and sleep)
irregular heartbeat; (no big deal)
shortness of breath, swelling in your hands or feet; ( buy new shoes and gloves-no big deal)
seizure (convulsions); (don't know-I'll chance it)
feeling light-headed, fainting; (go to bed-no big deal)
penis erection that lasts 4 hours or longer. (I'd take an ad out in the newspaper above the fold and brag to anyone who wanted to listen. I would a hero to every man in town and every women would want my phone number and email address)

Less serious side effects may include:
redness or warmth in your face, neck, or chest; (no big deal)
cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, or sore throat; (get some Kleenex)
headache; ( take 2 aspirin and go to bed-no big deal
memory problems; (so, what else is new)
diarrhea, upset stomach; or
muscle pain, back pain. (take Pepto Bismol-sit on the toilet-no big deal)

True story. Two months ago I visited my general practitioner for the annual 100% body physical. I like my doc because he laughs at my stories. Anyway, after my going over he asked if I'd like him to write a prescription for Cialis. I thought, "Oh, what the hell. I'll take it and put it in my glove compartment in case it's ever needed". A month later while getting some meds from the local CVS I handed the pharmacist my Man Scrip. I wasn't embarrassed because he and his pharmacist wife are from India and that's where the Karma Sutra was introduced so he has to know all the tricks of the trade. It was then that he asked if I wanted the full prescription written out by my doc buddy. Since I hadn't looked at it I causally asked how many were on it and that's when he said, "300". Shock followed by guffaws and then 'on the floor me rolling in laughter' took over. "Three hundred", I said. "I'd have to have the fertile harem of six dead Al Qaeda to need that many". I suggested we cut the number down to a measly ten and asked for the price. "That'll be three hundred dollars", Gandhi told me. "THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS"! "Do you realize I could play four damned nice golf courses for that kind of money"? First, I would have had to sell my boat and five of my grandchildren to meet the going price. My neighbor said for me to buy 300 Cialis would be like erecting a flagpole with strobe lights in front of a condemned house in Detroit. And that's when I left CVS as fully satisfied as I've ever been satisfied before.

It Must Have Been Something I Ate

The Berlin Germany Regional court has heard the bizarre case of a 45-year-old sales agent who cut up a 37-year-old man and cooked his head. Prosecutors demanded that the man be sentenced to 6 years and 9 months for manslaughter, but his defence team argued that he was only guilty of bodily harm.

The case, reported in the Local, began when the 37-year-old visited his older guest's apartment in Marienfelde in south Berlin in January 2012 to fulfil his extreme sexual fantasies.
Inside the flat the younger man asked to be tied to the bed. He then asked to have his nose and mouth covered with tape. It is not clear how he died but it is believed to have been either suffocation or an overdose of painkillers. Once he died the accused cut up his body and cooked his head.

Congrats to the Chief. It's his 176th round since taking office. And you thought he didn't care about you.

Attention Mankind

Attention Mankind: If you are a homosexual, a thief, drink alcohol, allow women to leave their homes without your permission, allow women to leave their homes without their faces covered, are a Christian, denounce Islam, women who commit adultery, are a liberal in your thinking, do not follow Sharia Law and a whole host of other rules will cause you to be maimed or murdered. The picture shown above is reminiscent of the genocide which took place during WWII by the Germans and Japanese. Gruesome, isn't it. You can expect to see more of this type of slaughter against humanity as members of ISIS ravage Iraq.

Hogs And Frogs

Have you ever found yourself finish reading an article then look at another story in the border on the right or at the bottom of the page? I'm certain there's a journalistic name for it. Regardless, I read a story online then saw one of these blurbs, "The 20 hottest politicians who are Democrats". Following politics the way I do a blind man with a fine sense of smell can tell you there are not 20 hot Dem pols; two maybe and that's it. My curiosity was aroused and I clicked onto the site. After pressing 'next' up came #16. It was Hillary and the site described her as 'sexy'. Somewhere down the road, #11 or close to that was Michelle O. Her description was 'a saucy minx'. Who made this list, a group of ten year caged lesbians?
With no further ado here they are:(Actually, there are two or three 'Wows' but that'd be a stretch) I offer the complete list of Hogs and Frogs.

"It's My Funeral, Honey"

53-year old Miriam Marie Burbank, who died on June 1st, attends her own funeral in New Orleans.

New Orleans, LA — Two women from New Orleans recently decided to give their dead mother a funeral that she reportedly would have wanted. They dressed her up in a black coat with a bright yellow scarf and dressy earrings, put on her dark shades, and sat her up at a table – for everyone attending the funeral to see. Even more, she had New Orleans Saints-themed nail polish, a glass of Glenlivet whiskey in her hand, and a case of Busch beer by her side. And to top it off, she also had a menthol cigarette in her other hand. http://www.blacknews.com/news/dead-woman-miriam-burbank-attends-own-funeral-new-orleans101.html#.U5zcaiDD9Mt

 

$600,000.00

NBC News has divulged that Chelsea Clinton is on a yearly salary retainer of $600 large even though she has been assigned to do nothing. There were high hopes for Mrs. Chelsea Clinton Mezvinskywhen first hired that she might be the next Barbara Walters. However, after a couple of interview segments she has been relegated to the office of 'maybe someday'. Her last assignment was of an interview with the Geico Gekko. It pays to have parents who have set such fine examples of being upstanding role models.

NOTE: 
By comparison, her salary is higher than both of the last two editors of the New York Times.
The paycheck inevitably helped Chelsea, 34, and her husband when they bought a $10.5million apartment next to New York's Madison Square Park last spring.

Surprise: He Didn't Receive His Diploma

A senior at Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, who stripped to his underpants on stage at graduation on Wednesday won't receive his diploma and will be barred from school property and off-campus events, Cumberland County schools Superintendent Frank Till Jr. has said.



Quintin Murphy was walking across the stage at the Crown Coliseum when he paused, turned toward the audience, pulled his purple graduation robe over his head, wrestled out of an unbuttoned white shirt, then hopped and posed with his arms outstretched. He had taken his trousers off at his seat and was wearing only leopard-print underpants, socks and shoes. Many screamed in surprise and laughed. Till and the members of the school board, sitting on stage behind Murphy, weren't amused.  http://arbroath.blogspot.com/2014/06/student-who-revealed-leopard-print.html

VEISHA: A Celebration Of Stupidity

As my readers know I'm a huge fan of anything Iowa. It's my home state and I stayed in it until we moved to Ohio in 1989. I also happen to be a supporter of all of Iowa's athletic teams. It doesn't matter if it's the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Iowa State Cyclones or my alma mater, Coe College. I love 'em all and root heartily for any successes.
Every once in awhile, though, I have to guffaw at the stupidity of the administrators of these learned institutions. Thanks to my western Iowa correspondent, The Council Bluffs Cowboy, I bring you one of these insane situations.
Every year since Eve took out a bite of the apple Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa has a Spring festival called VEISHA. It's an acronym for six departments: veterinary medicine, engineering, industrial science, home economics and agriculture. I'm not sure how long the event lasts. It could be three days or it might be a year. What it is, though, is a monstrous excuse for unlimited drinking of alcoholic beverages. As sure as the sun comes up you'll read in the papers about some kid maiming his body by jumping off a fraternity house roof, a coed or two being raped and once in awhile someone getting killed. I grew up fifteen miles from Ames and know for a fact that most of the rowdies are not students. They're out of town goobers who stroll into the city limits to do unruly things they can't get away in their own communities.
Well, after this years debacle, the administration had had enough and they put their foot down on further VEISHA activities. In order to insure that no down the road problems take place the school has decided that from here on in the name of the celebration, VEISHA, will be changed. That's it. I'm anxiously waiting to find out the name of the new festival. Maybe it'll be something like, "No More Drinking Day'. It doesn't take much to solve a problem, does it?

Liberal Logic 101: The Dangers Of A Pencil Cap

A Nation Ruled By Idiots

Barack Obama, 44th President of These United States, told an “I was too high to remember!” joke today — at a high school graduation.
“I have to say, I do not remember my high school graduation speaker,” Obama says. “I have no idea who it was. I’m sure I was thinking about the party after graduation. Um. I don’t remember the party either.”
To great laughs and guffaws. He’s so cool!
This is our president. Getting laughs out of the fact that he had a drug habit to such an extent that if he was not the president, he could not get a security clearance.
Going by the evidence, Hillary Clinton may not have finished high school. Or maybe she slept through history class. She thinks that Abe Lincoln was a “senator from Illinois.”

Abe Lincoln was never a US senator. He was never a state senator, either. He was never a senator at all.
Hillary, or her speechwriters, could have Googled that.
Who knew that Idiocracy was a prophecy? http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/06/11/hillary-and-obama-and-the-present-idiocracy/

Just How Bad Are Chicago Public Schools

Paul Robeson High School in Chicago recently held its prom. Sadly, they didn't quite get the theme of the prom in proper grammatical form. The formal engraved invitations read: "This Is Are Story". It's indicative of what's going on not only in Chicago but all across the nation.
Turns out that Paul Robeson High School is a symptom of a school district that is failing its students. The neighborhood is located in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, which is one of the poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods in the city.
Just how bad are Chicago Public Schools, they’re this bad:

Four out of 10 CPS freshmen do not graduate.
.
If they do graduate, 91 percent have to take remediation courses in college because they do not know how to do basic math and school work. Just 26 percent of CPS high school students are college-ready, according to the ACT subject matter tests.

The taxpayers pay these teachers $76,000 a year and the school’s administration can’t even distinguish between “are” and “our” on printed cards they hand out on prom night?
If a Chicago public school can’t use acceptable grammar on mass-printed cards, then what does that say about what’s going on in the schools? http://www.ijreview.com/2014/06/146494-chicago-public-schools-prom-slogan-highlights-failure-public-education/

The Cloward-Piven Strategy

This is the classic Cloward-Piven strategy:

The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of “a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty”.

"You Know"

I've often wondered, since 1992, why the smartest woman in the world cannot utter even a paragraph without peppering it with "you know".

We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea’s education, you know, it was not easy.” — Hillary Clinton to Diane Sawyer.

The City With The Toughest Gun Control Laws

Chicago usually erupts in violence every weekend, but this weekend extended into Monday when a man killed two before turning his gun on himself. The grand total between Friday evening and Monday came in at 7 dead and a whopping 28 wounded. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/06/10/Chicago-Death-Toll-from-Fri-to-Mon-7-Dead-30-Wounded

Rotten People

My travels are seemingly endless and I love it. These past five days has seen me in Ocean Isle, North Carolina attending the wedding of the daughter of one of my high school basketball players from 1976. I love this kid. He still calls me coach. I have not once been to this part of the country nor spent a great deal of time on the Atlantic seaboard and it was, to coin the vernacular of the day, "awesome".
Two of my dearest long time friends left Ohio a year ago and transplanted themselves in Hilton Head, South Carolina; another part of the United States that was new to me. It's always thrilling to visit new places but it's even more wonderful to spend time with dear friends.
As is the case when I reminiscence about folks from my past life I think of all the good people I've come across. Unless one lives in a community for their entire existence(wouldn't that be a shame)The Lord has placed on this earth hundreds of thousands, nee millions, very outstanding and kindly people. I love the South. I love everything about it, sans snakes and alligators. On the drive down I can't tell you how many times I went into a service station or convenience store and the female clerk would say, "Have a wonderful day, darlin'. Y'all come back soon now".
If I've written about this subject before stay with me because it bears repeating. There have been only two times in my life when I've come across evil, rotten, low-life, hateful, degenerate people. That's not very many in the big scheme of things because I've met literally hundreds of thousands of human beings in my lifetime. I don't want to put myself up against a Donald Trump when it comes to shaking hands but I'd make bet that I'm in the upper 10% of meeting and glad handing men and women alike.
I've always figured that when I meet someone I should be on my best behavior; try and be polite and do the right thing in word and manner. After all, they're giving me their most important commodity and that's their time. We only have so much of it and the older I grow the more I've come to this realization.
My two rotten people in my personal history lived in different parts of my world and I dealt with them in my last job. One was a purchasing manager for Westinghouse Motor Co. in Stratford, Ontario Canada. The other was a maintenance manager for AK Steel Co. in Middletown, Ohio. For my part it was embarrassing because they yelled at me and belittled every word I said. I was never so happy to leave two pieces of vermin in my entire sixty some years. And then guess what happened? In both cases, as I was driving away, I began to think the 'what if' game. 'What if', that morning, each of these people had major trauma in their lives? What if they found out they or their wife had terminal cancer, or that their dog was hit and killed by a car? What if they lost a grandchild due to a horrible disease. You see, I always think it's essential to give people the benefit of the doubt because human beings are thinking and feeling and, unfortunately, sometimes suffering. You know the old saying, "Be kind to those you meet because everyone is fighting some kind of battle".
I happen to be one of the luckiest people on this earth because I've been around long enough to see the good and the bad and, believe me, there are many more kindly people than there are evil ones.

Democrat Or Republican

My intention is to not make fun of physical features of our congressional citizenry. However, it is impossible not to include homeliness and stupidity. Rosa DeLauro(Dumb-Connecticut) wants a federal tax.. I'm sure she wants to save lives by having people healthier. I jest. Like all DemocRats a tax is a tax is a tax.

It's a certainty there was only one entrant in the 'guess who this is' contest and he was my southern correspondent. His response to the question was, "I dunno" or something like that. It's incredible how a gangly, gawking looking seventeen year old can evolve into the delectable Megyn Kelly but it happened.
By the way, I won $10,000 in my own contest.

A Quiz: Who Is The Mystery Guest

From the cocoon springs the beautiful butterfly.



Ans. Ms. Megyn Kelly

It's The Same Old Same Old

I've never been a huge fan of liars. That's why the political game was never in my future. Besides, I never learned how to glad hand. When Jay Carney stepped down as the White House spokesman I shrugged my shoulders in the 'so what' fashion. It was 100% that another liar would assume Carney's position. I didn't realize how right I was. Not only will new guy, Josh Ernst, be a liar he'll also be a lad without character. Mr. Ernst was, in the early 2000's, an aide to the coke sniffing Mayor of DC, Marion Barry. That's enough information to let you know what to expect.
