After a crazy, crazy week, I’m finishing this up at the last minute.  And by last minute, I really mean that the posting time is in less than two hours.

Have you ever made a cake?
The cake is the easy part, isn’t it?
Yeah, the tough and time consuming part is …?
Right!
The icing.
So, whadda ya say we get these puppies iced!

Today I had to go to the Drug store. As I approached the entrance,

I noticed a driver looking for a parking space.

I flagged the driver and pointed out

A handicap parking space

That was open and available.

 

The driver looked puzzled,

Rolled down her window and said,

“I’m not handicapped!”

Well, as you can imagine, my face was red!

“Oh, I’m sorry” I said. “I saw your Obama bumper

Sticker and just assumed that you suffer from a mental disorder.”

She gave me the finger and screamed

Some nasty names at me.

Boy! Some people don’t appreciate it when

You’re just trying to help them out!

Okay, here’s another GREAT video.  One of my favorite groups (Heart) is covering one of my other favorite groups (Lead Zeppelin) with one of my all time favorite songs (Stairway To Heaven).  The really cool part is that the original Lead Zeppelin guys are in the audience.  Even cooler yet?  It’s in the Kennedy Center while they are honoring Lead Zeppelin.  One of the uncool parts is the Obama’s in the audience, having fun while the country melts down.  Mr. President, don’t you have work to do?

A priest and a nun were lost in a snowstorm. After a while, they came
upon a small cabin. God is faithful, they both agreed, and they prepared
to go to  sleep. There was a stack of blankets and a sleeping bag on the
floor but only one bed.

Being a gentleman, the priest said, “Sister, you sleep on the bed. I’ll
sleep on the floor in the sleeping bag.” Just as he got zipped up in the
bag and was beginning to fall asleep, the nun said “Father, I’m cold.”
He unzipped the sleeping bag, got up, got the blanket and put it on her.

Once again, he got into the sleeping bag, zipped it up and started to
drift off to sleep when the nun once again said, “Father, I’m cold.” He
unzipped the bag, got up again, put another blanket on her and got into
the sleeping bag once again.

Just as his eyes closed, she said, “Father, I’m sooooo cold.” This
time, he remained there and said, “Sister, I have an idea. We’re out
here in the wilderness where no one will ever know what happened. Let’s
pretend we’re married.”

The nun said, “That’s fine by me.” To which the priest yelled out, “Get
up and get your own stupid blanket!”

There was a group of women at a seminar on how to live in a loving relationship with your husband.
The women were asked, “How many of you love your husbands?”
All the women raised their hands.

Then they were asked, “When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?”
Some women answered today, some yesterday, some didn’t remember.
The women were then told to take their phones and send the following text: “I love you, sweetheart.”
Then the women were told to exchange phones and read the responding text messages.
Here are some of the replies:

1.    Who is this?

2.  Eh, mother of my children, are you sick?

3.  I love you too.

4.  What now?  Did you crash the car again?

5.  I don’t understand what you mean?

6.  What did you do now?

7.  ?!!???

8.  Don’t beat about the bush, just tell me how much you need?

9.  Am I dreaming?

10. If you don’t tell me who this message is actually for, someone will die.

11. I thought we agreed we would not to drink during the day.

12. Your mother is coming to stay, isn’t she??

A minister was seated next to a cowboy on a flight to Texas. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The cowboy asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the minister if he would like a drink.

He replied in disgust, “I’d rather be savagely raped by brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips.”

The cowboy then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, “Me too. I didn’t know we had a choice.”

Leprechaun Laughs # 198 for Wednesday June 19th

image

I’d like to take a moment to offer a heartfelt & sarcastic ‘thank you’ to you all for the deafening silence regarding the milestone of 3 years of Leprechaun Laughs. I got exactly one ‘Congrats’ from anyone other than Impish who was contractually obligated to do so.

Your overwhelming lack of caring and/or appreciation was, to say the least, staggering in its ambivalence. To say the most it was highly insulting as well as a major eye opening revelation for me, one that will be having me reexamining my priorities and commitment to this blog for some time to come. Especially with my 200th issue upcoming shortly as well.

At the moment I have nothing else to say to you people. Go on, get out of my face and leave me in unappreciated peace. No there is no coffee or pastries this morning. From now on you want a free ride go to a liberal’s blog.

The Ultimate Response to a Dear John Letter

A United States Marine was deployed to Afghanistan. While he was there he received a “Dear John” letter from his girlfriend.

In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him.

To add injury to the insult, she said she wanted back the picture of herself that she had given him.

So the Marine did what any squared-away Marine would do. He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find.

In all, he got more than 25 pictures of various women (some with clothes and some without).

He then mailed them to his now-former girlfriend with the following note:

“I don’t remember which one you are. Please remove your picture and send the rest back.”

Limerick Laughs

“It’s my code,” says a mailman named Drew,
“To unzip, then deliver a screw.
If virgins, when nervous,
Resist postal service,
I explain that the male must get through.”

There once was a girl from Decatur
Who got laid by a big alligator.
Now, nobody knew,
The result of that screw,
Because after he laid her, he ate her.

I thought that we never would part
So I gave to that trollop, my heart
But the slut often strays
She’s not mended her ways
It appears I have made a false tart.

An inventor’s annoyed by a hum
That she hears in her head; she’s not dumb.
“Make a dildo,” says voice “
And let women rejoice.
If you build it,” voice said, “they will cum.”

A dentist, young doctor Malone,
Got a charming girl patient alone,
And, in his depravity,
Filled the wrong cavity.
God, how his practice has grown.

There was a young girl named Sapphire
Who succumbed to her lover’s desire.
She said, “It’s a sin,
But now that it’s in,
Could you shove it a few inches higher?”

On the breasts of a barmaid from Sale,
Were tattooed the prices of Ale.
And on her behind,
For the sake of the blind,
The same information is in Braille.

There was a young plumber from Lee,
Who was plumbing a maid by the sea.
Said the maid: `Cease your plumbing,
I think someone’s coming.’
Said the plumber, still plumbing: `It’s me.’

Said a nun as the bishop withdrew,
“This must be our final adieu,
For the vicar is slicker,
And thicker and quicker,
And two inches longer than you.”

A dentist, young doctor Malone, G
ot a charming girl patient alone,
And, in his depravity,
Filled the wrong cavity.
Now she’s nursing the filling at home!

I thought that we never would part
So I gave to that trollop, my heart
But the slut often strays
She’s not mended her ways
It appears I have made a false tart.

Close first cousins got caught sneaking
Having sex in the barn squeaking.
And though it’s unlawful
They weren’t all that awful;
At least relatively speaking.

A horny old trapper named Rex
Liked the risks of wild porcupine sex.
By incredible luck
His dick never got stuck,
But his nuts were just pitiful wrecks.

There was a young engineer named Miss Holt,
Who had an assistant as spry as a Colt.
When she asked for a screw,
What did the young man do,
But offer her two nuts and a bolt.

Drunk in Saudi Arabia

An Englishman, a German and a Frenchman are all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they are all sentenced to death!

However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentences down to life imprisonment. By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip.

As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: “It’s my first wife’s birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping.

The German was first in line, he thought for a while and then said: “Please tie a pillow to my back. This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. When the punishment was done the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain.

The Frenchman was next up. After watching the German in horror he said smugly: “Please fix two pillows to my back.” But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again and the Frenchman was soon led away whimpering loudly.

The Englishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: “You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!”

“Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness,” the Englishman replied. “In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes.”

“Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave,” the Sheikh said with an admiring look on his face. “If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish, what is it to be?” the Sheikh asked.

The Englishman smiled and said, “Tie the Frenchman to my back.”

Introspection Outside the Box

Thought you might want to consider getting on board early….
A British Engineer just started his own business in Afghanistan .

He says prophets are going through the roof.
Thought you would appreciate it if I passed this on,
Its a good investment tip!

Impish was recounting one of his many ‘adventures’ as he likes to call them to me recently over coffee:

I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull. I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn’t even look at a cow. I was beginning to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth.

Anyhow, I had the Vet come and have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day. The bull started to service the cows within two days, all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor’s cows! He’s like a machine! I don’t know what was in the pills the Vet gave him ………

but they kind of taste like peppermint.

DOJ & FBI Raid News Media Offices After Releasing an Alarming Story on President Obama!

Posted about 15 hours ago [actually it was posted on Facebook, June 8, 2013. There’s your first clue right there, it was posted FIRST to Facebook the Internet equivalent of the CB radio and NOT but a “reputable” (I use the broadest interpretation of that word here) news agency]

https://i0.wp.com/nationalreport.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/FBI-boxes.jpg

FBI Agents Load Seized Documents From the National Report’s Offices

By National Report Staff

<National Report> Within hours of publishing a scathing story on President Obama (http://wp.me/p3dd01-Yp) the DOJ raided the offices of the National Report claiming the raid was lawful under the USA Patriot Act but refusing to say why the government was taking the action.

At about 12:50 this afternoon the National Report released a damning story on the Obama birth certificate scandal providing new evidence which clearly shows the document to be fraudulent. According to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, his Cold Case Posse has the evidence to prove the presidents birth certificate was computer generated using Adobe Illustrator.

Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo, revealed for the first time that his findings have been confirmed in a 40 page report by Reed Hayes, a Certified Documents Examiner (CDE) from Hawaii. The birth certificate posted to the White House website clearly shows it was forged using cut & paste methods in several layers.

At about 2:08 pm employees at the National Report were shocked when dozens of black clad machine gun toting DOJ agents wearing black masks entered the National Report office forcing everyone to the ground while demanding they put their hands on top their heads. After securing all employees FBI agents entered and began questioning employees and seizing files and other documents.

“We did exactly as they told us,” said National Report’s publisher Allen Montgomery, who added “No one knew what was happening.” Its being reported that the offices of Montgomery and Editor-in-Chief Nigel Covington, were ransacked and boxes of files were seized and carted off by FBI agents.

Covington said, “This is a gross violation of our Constitutional rights as American citizens and as journalists. All our files relating to President Obama were seized with others including all employee personnel files.”

Montgomery said federal agents did not have a warrant and offered no explanation for the action. He added about an hour before the raid, the National Report had released a story about the mounting evidence which confirms Obama’s birth records are in fact forged. Montgomery said most employees were so shaken up by the raid he let them go home early.

More on this breaking story as it becomes available.

DOJ & FBI Raid News Media Offices? No, It’s Satire

The National Report says: ‘All news articles contained within National Report are fiction’

So, here’s what folks are overlooking while they’re so busy confirming their own biases. The National Report (warning, the site contains material some will find offensive) is a fake news website dotted with satirical headlines like “Reports of Infant Formula Tainted with Cat Semen on the Rise,” “Police Release Sketch of Serial Masturbator Who Cops Say Has Wretched Taste in Women,” and “Boy Scouts Announce Boobs Merit Badge.”

It is plainly not a source of real news.

For those who aren’t convinced (God help you!), the site’s disclaimer page (note, any spelling errors are in the original) reads as follows:

*DISCLAIMER: National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental.

This is too beautiful not to share!
This is mythical and deep …. Truly beautiful.

A man asked an American Indian what was his wife’s name.
He replied, “She is called Five Horses”.

The man said, “That’s an unusual name for a wife. What does it mean?”

The Old Indian answered, “It is an old Indian name. It means ….”

Shakedown ‘justice’ in Mexico

By Ruben Navarrette, CNN Contributor updated 12:51 PM EDT, Fri May 31, 2013

(CNN) — I keep thinking of those television ads from the Mexican tourism industry urging Americans to “Come visit Mexico.”

Visiting isn’t difficult. For some Americans, it’s leaving that’s the problem.

For years, U.S. officials have urged their Mexican counterparts to get tough on drug traffickers. The Americans even provided $1.4 billion through the Merida Initiative to help our friends south of the border accomplish that goal.

Yet, the drama unfolding in the state of Sonora — just across the border from Arizona — can’t be what U.S. officials had in mind.

The idea was to help Mexico’s police and military pursue violent criminals — the sort who terrorize people by scattering human heads like party favors on the dance floors of nightclubs — not to prey on Americans held for ransom by crooked cops looking for their next payday.

And that’s what appears to be driving the story of Yanira Maldonado, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen who sits in a women’s prison in Nogales, Mexico, on what seem to be bogus drug charges. Maldonado — who is Mormon, and has seven children, and two grandchildren — is represented by a Mexican attorney. We don’t know for sure what happened. But if Yanira is innocent of these charges, which is the most likely scenario given that the Mexican authorities have no evidence of her guilt, she must be released immediately.

Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department is monitoring the situation and providing the family with updates. [Oh THAT is SO comforting! Especially in the light of how well they ‘monitored’ the ‘situation in Benghazi and how well that turned out for the American Citizens there! The ONLY ‘successful’(9in the broadest sense of the term) hostage negation that our State Department has ever forced its way into was the Iranian Hostage Crisis back in 1979-1981 and THAT ok them 444 days and a Presidency change to accomplish!]

The family’s nightmare began last week when the Mexican-born Yanira and her husband, Gary, boarded a bus to head back to the United States after attending her aunt’s funeral in Mexico.

That was their first mistake. Those of us who visit Mexico know you never get on a bus. It makes you easy pickings for bandits and bad cops, and sometimes you can’t tell the difference. Bandits might take your money, and let you go on your way. Bad cops take your liberty, and hold it until someone back home sends enough money to let you go on your way.

Either way, it’s not personal. It’s just a business transaction. But it’s a cruel and ugly business.

Anyway, back to the bus. It came up to a military checkpoint — which might as well be a toll booth — and everyone was taken off the bus as soldiers boarded it.

“I was at the checkpoint, asked to get off bus,” Yanira told CNN from prison. “They were checking for drugs and I don’t know what else. They say they found something under the seat but I never saw anything. They didn’t show me anything. It was amazing all what they did.”

The soldiers claim that they found a package containing 12.5 pounds (5.7 kilograms) of what appeared to be marijuana under Yanira’s seat. And so they placed her under arrest, and handed the case over to the Mexican attorney general’s office for prosecution.

Maybe the authorities are telling the truth. Or maybe the drugs were there before she ever sat down. Or maybe the soldiers put the drugs there. Or maybe there were no drugs. No one knows, because, conveniently, the only people on the bus were the soldiers.

Whatever happened, it seems unlikely that a woman could have carried a package weighing over 12 pounds onto a bus and slipped it under her seat without being noticed.

Gary Maldonado has said that he and his wife checked their bags, and boarded with no luggage.

He also says that when his wife was taken into custody, one of the soldiers told him matter-of-factly that it would cost him $5,000 to get her released. Later, according to family members, he was quoted the same price by civilian authorities — $5,000 — for her release, whether she was found guilty or not.

That’s how it works. Think of it as a processing fee.

In Mexico, stories like this one — which are all about money, and corruption, and how predatory some hungry people can be when they catch a glimpse of a piece of bread — are as common as piñatas and margaritas.

But that’s not supposed to be the case anymore.

I was in Mexico City in November on a mission sponsored by the American Jewish Committee. We met with top officials, including President Enrique Pena Nieto, and the message could not have been clearer. “With a booming economy, less crime in metropolitan areas, and the reins of power now back in the hands of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, the country is open for business. This is the new Mexico.”

Sorry folks, it seems there are still unseemly remnants of the old Mexico, and they are threatening to undermine the makeover.

The Maldonados probably aren’t thinking about the relationship between the United States and Mexico at the moment. They just want a wife and mother to come home to her family.

With luck, Yanira Maldonado will be released on Friday. Her family will pay the fee as ordered, and she will be free to go. And this ugly chapter, in their lives and in the U.S.-Mexico relationship, will be closed.

But if that doesn’t happen, on Saturday, Pena Nieto needs to intervene. And if he concludes that Yanira is innocent, he needs to order her release. And if he doesn’t, Secretary of State John Kerry needs to fly to Nogales and wait there until he does.

Incidentally, Mexico is still waiting on the last few hundred million dollars in drug fighting funds promised under the Merida Initiative.

Congress should send the rest of the money. Minus $5,000. That should go to the Maldonado family, if and when Yanira is found innocent. Think of it as a processing fee.

  A few personal thoughts on this out rage:

1.) “Did you know that two thousand years ago a Roman citizen could walk across the face of the known world free of the fear of molestation? He could walk across the Earth unharmed, cloaked only in the protection of the words civis Romanus — I am a Roman citizen. So great was the retribution of Rome, universally certain, should any harm befall even one of its citizens. Where was Morris’s protection, or anybody else on that airplane? Where was the retribution for the families, and where is the warning to the rest of the world that Americans shall walk this Earth unharmed, lest the clenched fist of the most mighty military force in the history of mankind comes crashing down on your house?” –Pres. Jed Bartlet West Wing, Season One Episode: A Proportional Response

We are THE LAST SUPER POWER LEFT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. October 1962- The Cuban Missile Crisis, we stood toe to toe and nose to nose with the Soviet Union literally minutes from all out Nuclear war and made them blink./ Time and time again though out my life time the ‘steaming of the colors”’ (sending a carrier group into a troubled area), a little well timed saber rattling (unannounced military maneuvers or readiness exercises close to a hot spot) or as a last resort sending in a team of ‘military advisors’ (Green Berets, Rangers SEALS or FORCE RECON Marines) has been all that was needed to quell a situation before it got out of control.

When I was stationed in Northern Ireland briefly I found it interesting that any bus with Americans on it, particularly American Service Personnel and especially American children was always packed to capacity including any and all available standing room. When I inquired about it I was informed that the IRA would never dare knowingly target a bus with Americans aboard for fear of dragging the US into their conflict with the British on the British side. Even the lunatics of the Arab World Kaddafi and Hussein feared pissing us off. Saddam Hussein refrained from using one of his favorite weapons against coalition forces during Desert Storm 1, namely chemical weapons which would have made our just much harder and more costly. Why? simple. He feared our promise of unrestrained retaliation and our refusal to commit to whether or not “tactical use special weapons” (a polite euphemism for battlefield deployable low yield tactical nuclear munitions) were or were not in theater which he wisely chose to interpret and an affirmation.

Yet most foreign people are now more scared of going to their dentist, then of US retaliation for harming any number of its citizens. Somali Pirates? No fear. Islamic Zealots? No fear. Illegal Immigrants, Drug Cartels, Smugglers and other assorted illegal boarder crossers? Oh (giggle) Please!

Why you ask? Simple folks the State Department (ever a haven of liberal dovish weenies in $1000 pin stripe suits and a bastion of nepotism & the ‘old boy’ network) have managed to usurp total control over any such crisis along with the right to determine what IS and IS NOT a crisis and how it should be handled. Their preferred methodology for handling anything? Placation, negation, offers of bribery though the extension of your tax dollars in the form of “Aid Packages” (because we NEVER negotiate with kidnappers and terrorists) and generally keeping everything compartmentalized until the political promises hit the document shredder and things are too late . THEN they scream send in the Marines. By then of course the opposition has generally killed people are ready and wind up wounding & killing a bunch of hastily positioned troops & or American civilians. Consequently we wind up looking like soft bumbling fools, not the last super power whose retaliation for harming her citizen should be the stuff of terrorist’s nightmares.

No place IMHO are we laughed at more and harder then our nearest southern neighbor Mexico.

 2.) We should STRONGLY urge that our government, businesses and our industries adopt the following policies.

a.) The State Department should do something useful and issue a Travel Advisory for Mexico plainly and clearly stating Mexico is unsafe for tourists due to the Drug Cartels constantly warring, the kidnapping industry, and the corrupt Police/Judicial/Military. Suspend NAFTA & Mexico’s Most Favored Nation status.

b.) Boycott Mexico as a tourist destination. The damned cruise ships are death traps anyway.

c.) Boycott all Mexican products and produce. Stop all Mexicans from crossing over into the US for jobs daily. Prohibit the sending of US dollars back to Mexico by anyone inside the US.  Once US dollars stop flowing into Mexico and farmer cannot sell their crops you’ll hear a cry from the Mexican sheeple and you’ll have Middle east style antigovernment rioting demanding reforms that will be impossible to ignore. The farmers on our side of the border would benefit from the increased crop prices and the chance to grow different crops once the cheaper Mexican produce was off the market. Lord knows the US has enough failing farms and enough unemployed people to man them!

d.) CLOSE THE BORDERS! Most of our boarder towns have high crime rates not because of their indigenous population but because of ‘commuter thieves’ and drug runners. Put a crimp in the Drug cartels and crime rings and you’ll see them want things to change too. How long do you think that kidnapping would go on if the Zeta Drug Cartel said ‘”next Gringo gets kidnapped we’ll kill the families of those responsible”? Inform Mexico that ANYONE spotted attempting to illegally cross the boarder will be deemed to have hostile intent and be treated in an appropriately aggressive fashion in protection of our citizens

e.) With hold all monies & aid. Use it to strengthen borders instead. Let’s face it the stiff necked Mexican government doesn’t want to admit it but their economy and infrastructure would collapse within a year with out all the tax dollar our citizens are bleeding into Mexico and adding to our deficit. They want to continually bite the hand that is feeding them and propping them up? OK fine lets stop feeding them and watch them face plant in a cactus field!

3.) State Department demands to be in control of something and negotiate? Ok fine let them demand that all the shake down soldiers be turned over to US authorities for prosecution,  along with Prosecutor and judge– ALL are responsible and accountable. (This however is really a non-negotiable point if the Mexican government wants to see US dollar one returned to them.

4.) Pass a Federal Law making the illegal detention and/or kidnapping/murder of a US Citizen a capitol crime under US law. Require MANDITORY extradition and death penalty. Oh? You don’t want to extradite because we kill scum where as you slap their wrists tisk-tisk at them and let them go to repeat offend? OK fine we’ll just stop all aid to you because you are harboring a wanted criminal guilty of crimes against US citizens.

5.) Treat these Mexican kidnappings no different from any other government sanctioned hostage taking- send in troops and rescue these people. You kill a few people involved in this and it will stop FAST. Tit for tat might be an approach too- you took our Holly Homemaker? Ok we took your rich guy and threw him in our SuperMax’s open population with a complementary bottle of KY hanging from his neck.

6.) $5K  withheld from aid isn’t enough, not nearly enough by far. That only repays ransom what about pain & suffering and punitive damages? $500K sounds more reasonable.

13223_443418342407069_345421061_n 

NOW if you people will excuse me (and even if you won’t) I’ve done my obligatory duty to you and I have personal family matters to attend to that I had to put aside to finish this issue as well as work to do for those who highly prize, appreciate and PAY ME for my time and efforts on their behalf as well as value my opinion.

And I’m JUST FINE with it too!

Dragon Laffs #1334

funnies only

Good Morning Campers.  As you can see from the header above, today’s issue is all about funnies.  A lot of you love these issues because they are quick, easy and …well…funny.  Well, there is a very good reason why you are receiving one of these issues this morning, and that is that it is currently 10 PM EDT Friday evening and I am just now starting this issue.

And yes, I know, that doesn’t really bode well for the quality of issue you are going to get, but trust me.  I WILL entertain.

Okay, so you’re asking, why in the world did you wait so long to start this week’s issue? Well……….. I kinda had an accident with my lap top cord.  To put it another way, I cut it in half on my easy chair.  I was using the laptop on my generous lap when Mrs. Dragon decided she needed my assistance with something.  Can’t quite remember what, but it was either with making the coffee cake for the new neighbors or wanting me to eat several of the neighborhood kids who’ve been stealing flowers from her garden.  One or the other.  Anyway, I set the laptop on the coffee table and put the footrest down on the chair and realized at the last second that the cord was tangled up in the chair.  Well, long story short, the chair cut the cord right in half.  I immediately ordered two of them from Amazon, but they haven’t arrived yet, so I’m putting this issue together, late, without access to my usual stuff, and lots of other problems, so what you have left is what’s in front of you.

So, let’s get on with the Laughs….

But first…..

I’d like to wish a

happy_anniversary

to Lethal Leprechaun and Leprechaun Laffs!!!

Today, today actually being Friday and not Saturday, but I digress…Today is the 3rd Anniversary of Leprechaun Laffs and tomorrow … tomorrow being Sunday not today, which is Saturday, except for the prior sentence where it is Friday.  anyway, Sunday is the 7th anniversary of Dragon Laffs as Dragon Laffs in this derivation.  Thanks to my friends and partner who have stuck with us for all these years and longer.  And thanks to our new friends who have recently joined us.

Well, now let’s get on with the laughter.

High Stakes Poker

Six retired Floridians play high stakes poker in the condo clubhouse.

A member of the group, Meiers, loses $5,000 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table.

Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five finish playing the hand standing up.

Finkelstein looks around and asks, “So, who’s gonna’ tell his wife?”

They cut the cards, and Goldberg “wins” the duty. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, not to make a bad situation any worse.

“Discreet? I’m the most discreet person you’ll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name,” he says. “Leave it to me.”

Goldberg goes over to the Meiers’ apartment and knocks on the door. Mrs. Meiers answers and asks what he wants.

Goldberg declares, “Your husband just lost $5,000 playing poker, and is afraid to come home.”

“Tell him to drop dead!” says the wife.

“Will do,” he says.

Especially true when it comes to relatives… and Dragons!

 

I’m Fine – How are you?

There’s nothing the matter with me,
I’m just as healthy as can be,
I have arthritis in both knees,
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.

My pulse is weak, my blood is thin,
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.
All my teeth have had to come out,
And my diet I hate to think about.

I’m overweight and I can’t get thin,
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.
And arch supports I need for my feet.
Or I wouldn’t be able to go out in the street.

Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I’m all right.
My memory’s failing, my head’s in a spin.
But I’m awfully well for the shape I’m in.

Old age is golden I’ve heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder, as I go to bed.
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
and my glasses on a shelf, until I get up.

And when sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself,
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?
The reason I know my Youth has been spent,
Is my get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went!

But really I don’t mind, when I think with a grin,
Of all the places my get-up has been.
I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the obits.

If my name is missing, I’m therefore not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed.

The moral of this as the tale unfolds,
Is that for you and me, who are growing old

Your Essential Guide to Beer

It’s been a long while is we visited the Leprechaun’s Libations Locker and since summer is about to get into full swing I thought we’d spend a few minutes discussing what is probably the number one summer time alcoholic beverage, namely beer.

See, beer isn’t just beer, like wine, whiskey, rum and tequila there are multiple types of beer and knowing a little about them and your tastes can help make summer drinking and dining much more satisfying.

American Lager

Popular Examples:
Budweiser
Michelob
Coors
Miller Genuine Draft
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Corona Extra
Foster’s Lager
Labett Blue
Yuengling
Caloric Range: 135-155

Chances are this is the class of beer you’re most familiar with. The biggest producers of American lagers, MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch InBev, collectively control close to 80 percent of the domestic market. Of all beers, these are the lightest in color and most heavily carbonated. Their closest relatives are the pilsners, but unlike pilsners, which rely solely on barley and hops, these recipes veer toward rice and corn, crops that add little flavor but keep costs low. Plus, a true pilsner is more bitter, with somewhere between 25 and 45 International Units of Bitterness (IBUs). American lagers, with scores as low as 8, are clearly more mellow. [Read that last line have little or no taste and character. However this also makes them a good choice for cooking with since they will get stronger as they reduce but without overpowering your dish]

Light Lager

Popular Examples:
Coors Light
Bud Light
Budweiser Select
Miller Lite
Michelob Ultra
Sam Adams Light
Amstel Light
Beck’s Premier Light
Caloric Range: 55-125

In terms of flavor, these beers aim to replicate American lagers, but they adapt the formula with two key modifications: less alcohol and fewer carbohydrates. Whereas a typical American lager has about 5 percent alcohol, light lagers typically fall between 2.5 and 4.2 percent. And compared with the 8 to 15 grams of carbs in the average American lager, a light lager normally has anywhere between 2 and 9 grams. That makes them your best option for cutting calories. Of course, like American lagers, they lack the complexity of other beer styles. In fact, with the lightest loads of hops and barley, these are considered the least flavorful of all the beers.

 

Pilsner

Popular Examples:
Victory Prima Pils
Pilsner Urquell
Czechvar
Bitburger
Lakefront Klisch Pilsner
Lagunitas Pils
Caloric Range: 120-170

This is the beer that influences the brewing recipes of American lagers, so if you like the core domestic beers like Bud and Coors, you’ll probably love the proper pilsners. Born in the Czech Republic city of Pilsen, these beers are pale, light, and crisp. It’s a profile they earn through a simple recipe that relies on four primary ingredients: barley, hops, water, and yeast. (By comparison, Budweiser adds less-flavorful rice to create its brew.) Pilsners, like the American lagers, are tan and gold in color, but they tend to have slightly heavier bodies and less carbonation. Authentic pilsners are difficult to come by in the US. Look to your local microbrew or imports from Europe.

 

Wheat Beer

Popular Examples:
Blue Moon Belgian Wheat
New Belgium Sunshine Wheat Beer
Sierra Nevada Kellerweis
Hefeweizen
Bud Light Golden Wheat
Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat
Shiner Dunkelweizen
Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat
Caloric Range: 150-170

Wheat beer is created when the brew master thins out the barley with a significant dose of wheat during the fermentation process. In the US, there are a handful of microbrewers experimenting with wheat lagers. Not in Germany, though. The traditional German wheat beers are always produced as ales, and you’ll recognize them by the words “weiss” or “weizen” on the label: weissbier, dunkelweizen, weizenbock, and so on. Compared with barley, wheat carries a heavier load of protein, which plays out as a thicker head in your mug. That protein—along with the fact that many wheat beers are served unfiltered—also helps create the distinctive cloudy look.

Pale Ale

Popular Examples:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Bass Pale Ale
Anchor Liberty Ale
Schlafly Pale Ale
Young’s Bitter
Caloric Range: 140-180

The American pale ale is predated by the English bitter beers, but today some of the world’s best versions are coming from domestic microbreweries. Craft beer sales spiked by 12.4 percent in 2009, and now capture nearly 6 percent of the beer market. It’s still in the niche category, but it’s a niche with enough support that you shouldn’t have trouble digging up a local brew. Although to a lesser degree than in a lager, pale ales are crisp and carbonated, but with the bitterness of a pilsner. Amber ale is a close relative; it’s just a couple shades darker and leaves a stronger caramel impression on your taste buds.

IPA

Popular Examples:
Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Stone IPA
Redhook Long Hammer IPA
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA
New Belgium Ranger IPA
Caloric Range: 180-240

Looking for an ale with a little more oomph? This could be your beer. IPAs, or India pale ales, bring in loads of hops to cut through the sweetness of the barley, often leaving a lingering bitter taste on the tongue. The strongest variety—both in terms of bitterness and alcohol—is the imperial IPA, an ultra-heady brew that cranks the hop levels to maximum. Despite being high in calories, hop-heavy beers have advantages. Researchers at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University found that IPAs were significant sources of polyphenols, a class of antioxidants that can lower your cholesterol and decrease your risk of cancer. Now you can officially drink to your health.

Porter

Popular Examples:
Fuller’s London Porter
Anchor Porter
Yuengling Porter
Michelob Porter
Samuel Adams Honey Porter
Black Butte Porter
Flying Dog Porter
Caloric Range: 140-220

These beers aren’t quite as dark as stouts, but they generally fall outside the brown-colored beer spectrum. Of course, you might still sometimes find a light-colored porter sold as “brown porter.” With beers this dark, the lines sometimes blur, but they are defined by strong barley flavors with mild hops. The key to both color and flavor is in the roast of the barley; craft beers generally are blends of brown, chocolate, and black malts. This can play out on your palate like toffee and roasted nuts or sweet licorice and toast. These are medium- to full-bodied beers that go down thick and smooth. Think chocolate milk.

Stout

Popular Examples:
Sierra Nevada Stout
Beamish Irish Stout
Samuel Adams Cream Stout
Caloric Range: 125-230

This is easily the darkest breed of beer, often pushing toward completely black. Like porters, stouts pull much of their flavor from the sugars in roasted barley, but they balance this with a slightly heavier reliance on bitter hops. Casual drinkers are sometimes put off by the color, but generally these beers are very palatable. They’re creamy with undertones of coffee and chocolate, and many of them are served with slightly less alcohol than the average full-bodied beer. Guinness Draught, for instance, delivers only 4 percent alcohol. But be warned: Those labeled “extra stout” are a stronger breed and often carry alcohol loads as high as 8 percent.

Beer Theories

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, “It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.” Babe Ruth

“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.” FRANK SINATRA, quoted in The Hangover Survival Guide

“When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.” Paul Horning

“24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.” H. L. Mencken

“When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let’s all get drunk and go to heaven!” George Bernard Shaw

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Benjamin Franklin

“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.” Dave Barry

BEER: HELPING UGLY PEOPLE HAVE SEX SINCE 3000 B.C.! W. C. Fields

Remember “I” before “E,” except in Budweiser. Professor Irwin Corey

To some, it’s a six-pack; to me, it’s a Support Group Salvation in a can! Leo Durocher

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson:

“Well, ya see, Norm, it’s like this: A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That’s why you always feel smarter after a few  beers!”

The Mechanic and the Heart Surgeon

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley-Davidson when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike.

The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey, Doc, can I ask you question?”

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix ’em, put ’em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new.”

“Yes, so what’s your question?” the doc asks.

“Well, how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?”

The surgeon paused, smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic, “Can you do it with the engine running?”

Weird Weather

So we got drenched again in Houston over the weekend. Early Sunday morning saw some serious Texas style T-storms with rain drops the size of grapes falling at machine gun rate and aided by gusts up to 40mph. Predictably there was a lot of urban flooding. Here’s how we’ve learned to take it in stride and turn the negative into a positive.

Bold emphasis is mine and will serve in place of any comments I might make, largely due to my apparent inability to articulate myself on this subject sans excessive amounts of extremely inventive colorful and down right profane language that would give the devil himself cause to flinch and blush.

 To some, Memorial Day marks the start of summer.

But to veterans and their families, Memorial Day is one of the most difficult and hallowed days of the year. A time to reflect on our fallen heroes and to think of survivors of wars gone by.

Lost, injured or home safe and sound, our military and veterans communities are facing grave challenges that deserve national attention. Yet, as this Memorial Day approaches, stories about Benghazi, the IRS, and the Department of Justice’s seizing the phone records of AP and Fox reporters are taking up almost all of the focus in Washington.

After the Memorial Day observances conclude and before Washington returns to business as usual, we need to ensure we are doing right by those who have served to protect our nation.

(CNN) — On Memorial Day, nearly 900,000 veterans had disability claims pending with the Department of Veteran Affairs, including almost 600,000 veterans who have been waiting for more than 125 days for a response. Those figures represent a more than 613% increase since President Obama’s first inauguration in 2009, when 85,000 veterans were in the backlog for more than 125 days.

VA benefits were put in place to support service-disabled veterans who, as a result of their injuries, need health care and financial support. But our men and women returning home now aren’t getting that support. They’re asking for help, but so many are not getting it.

There’s been some recent movement in the right direction. Since March, the VA has decreased the backlog by 3.2 percent, according to the IAVA’s analysis of Veterans Benefits Affairs reporting. That the backlog has been reduced for six consecutive weeks is a positive development and reflects the VA’s new urgency to fix the backlog problem with new initiatives. Yet, to eliminate the backlog by its public goal of 2015, the VA must do far better.

Veterans need the aggressive leadership and decisive action of Obama, who has been silent on the backlog, to bring the backlog down to zero. This is something that 67 senators and a bipartisan group in the House are calling for, along with more than a dozen veterans service organizations.

The president (much as I hate to say it) rightfully displayed (for once) prompt leadership in responding to another critical issue for service members: military sexual trauma. A Pentagon report released in early May revealed that an estimated 26,000 cases of sexual assault occurred last year, a one third increase over the previous year.

Additionally, during this past month, three officers responsible for leading sexual assault prevention efforts have been embroiled in sexual misconduct cases themselves.

These incidents have served as a wake-up call for all Americans. We can’t ask our fellow citizens to put their lives at risk for us if they’re not safe themselves. A group of lawmakers, led by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, is proposing new legislation to combat this problem. The Military Justice Improvement Act would remove oversight of sexual assault cases from the chain of command and allow victims to report their assaults to an independent prosecutor.

This is an important piece of legislation that is quickly gaining bipartisan support and should be implemented immediately. It’s sensible and can help change the military’s culture for the better.

This Memorial Day, we also must continue our work to prevent suicides among those who served. The numbers are sobering: according to Army reporting, 109 active-duty and reserve servicemen and women have taken their own lives this year. Among all veterans, 22 veterans commit suicide every day. That’s 22 veterans. Every day.

Despite what we know about veterans’ suicides, a recent report from the VA inspector general’s office found that about a third of veterans considered to be at high risk for suicide don’t receive the recommended follow-up care after they’ve been discharged from VA inpatient mental health care. That is unacceptable.

We must continue to push for an expansion of programs that connect veterans to mental health resources while also fighting to erase the stigma that prevents many veterans from seeking mental health care in the first place. Ensuring that our service members are thoroughly evaluated and properly diagnosed is crucial to ensuring that they’ll be able to cope with, and overcome, the physical and mental injuries they may have sustained while serving our country.

We need the country to get behind us if we’re going to take care of these men and women who have taken such good care of our country. The president’s leadership is essential, but he needs a battalion to lead.

And when Memorial Day is over, join our effort to ensure that our elected officials stand with us and take meaningful steps to support veterans and their families.

Honor our men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice by doing right by their brothers and sisters among us.

HOW TO NOT FALL OFF THE BUS

A Safety tip for Seniors:

As I get older I realize that life seems to be flying by and with that said I need to step up and help others more . I have thought that it would be great to try to offer a piece of good advice or even a good quote or message for the day .  So here goes my first valued tip and public service message.  I call this message;

  HOW TO HOLD ON AND NOT FALL ON THE BUS.

12You’re Welcome.

coollogo_com-26562107_thumb1

Poetry1

He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And ‘tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we’ll hear his tales no longer,
For ol’ Joe has passed away,
And the world’s a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.

He won’t be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life.

He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won’t note his passing,
‘Tho a Soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?

The politician’s stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.

While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.

It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?

Or would you want a Soldier
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.

He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his likes again.

For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier’s part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor
While he’s here to hear the praise,
Then at least let’s give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline
In the paper that might say:
“OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER DIED TODAY.”

Coincidence?
 
Just wondering!
 
Alabama beat Arkansas

Alabama beat Tennessee
and they fired the coach.
 
Alabama beat Auburn
and they fired the coach.
 
Then Alabama beat Notre Dame and the Pope resigns…
 
Damn, I wish the White House had a team.

Man, it really sucks getting old…….15

A man met a beautiful lady and he decided he wanted to marry her right away.
She protested, “But we don’t know anything about each other.”
He replied, “That’s all right, we’ll learn about each other as we go along.”
So she consented, and they were married, and went on a honeymoon to a very
nice resort.  One morning, they were lying by the pool when he got up off his
towel, climbed up to the 10 meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer,
entering the water perfectly, almost without a ripple.  This was followed by a
three rotations in jackknife position before he again straightened out and cut
the water like a knife.  After a few more demonstrations, he came back and
lay down on his towel.
She said, “That was incredible!”
He said, “I used to be an Olympic diving champion.  You see, I told you we’d
learn more about each other as we went along.”
So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing laps.  She was moving
so fast that the froth from her pushing off at one end of the pool would hardly
be gone before she was already touching the other end.  She did laps in
freestyle, breast-stroke, even butterfly!  After about thirty laps, completed
in mere minutes, she climbed back out and lay down on her towel, barely
breathing heavy.
He said, “That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?”
No, she said, “I was a hooker in Fort Worth and I worked both sides of the Trinity river.”.

What Aisle is the Polish Sausage in?

 

Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream ‘prejudice’ these days…………….

A customer asked, “In what aisle can I find the Polish sausage?”

The clerk asks, “Are you Polish?”

The guy , clearly offended, says, “Yes I am. But let me ask you something.

If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?

Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?

Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?

Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?

Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?”

The clerk says, “No, I probably wouldn’t.”

The guy says, “Well then, because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I’m Polish?”

The clerk replied, “Because you’re in Home Depot.”

And yet, another great video, this guy’s got skills I want to learn!

WHAT IS THE WICHITA PICKOFF?

This high school baseball team has been watching too much “Little Big League!” They try out the famous Wichita Pickoff trick play and to everyone’s surprise, it works like a charm. Of course, no one was more surprised than the baserunner.

Southaven P Wyatt Short fakes the pickoff throw drawing the Harrison Central baserunner off the base for a crucial out in the 7th of Game 1 of the MHSAA Class 6A Championship Series.

Okay, since this issue seems to be going “that” way, here’s another video that ought to touch your heart.

Rumors are circulating in CA that radical Muslims are planning to go on a rampage in Los Angeles, killing anyone who is white and born in the U.S.
Police fear the death toll could be as high as 23.

Thanks to my Dad for this GREAT ONE! 

A HARD WAY FOR THOSE  LIBERAL DEMOCRATS TO LEARN A LESSON ABOUT AMERICAN  FREEDOM AND THE  CONSTITUTION. RIGHT IN THE OLD POCKET BOOK.

IN ADDITION TO THE BELOW,  MAGPUL IS MOVING ITS ENTIRE MANUFACTURING OUT OF COLORADO . WELLINGTON KANSAS  HAS OFFERED THEM FREE LAND ON WHICH TO BUILD A NEW FACTORY AND NO TAXES FOR 10  YEARS. IT WILL COST COLROADO 300 JOBS.

The implications of the push  for stringent gun laws forces liberals into the light of reality from time to  time. Here is a good example.    Read & share. Remember,  the news is up to us…it won’t come from the national media!

OUTDOOR CHANNEL PULLS PRODUCTION FROM COLORADO  DUE TO CO SENATE BETRAYING 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

From: Michael Bane
Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2013 at 4:09  PM
Subject: OUTDOOR CHANNEL Pulls Productions from  Colorado
To: Steve King

Dear Senator  King;

I met you yesterday after the  so-called “public hearings” on the anti-gun bills; as I mentioned, I am an  Executive Producer for OUTDOOR CHANNEL. I currently have four series in  production, including GUN STORIES, the top show on OC, with several additional  series in development. My series focus on guns, hunting, shooting and the  outdoors.

This morning I met with my  three Producers, and we made the decision that if these anti-gun bills become  law, we will be moving all of our production OUT of Colorado . We have already  canceled a scheduled filming session for
late this month. Obviously, part of  this is due to our own commitment to the right to keep and bear arms, but it  also reflects 3 lawyers’ opinions that these laws are so poorly drafted and so  designed to trap otherwise legal
citizens into a crime (one of our attorneys  referred to them as “flypaper laws”) that it is simply too dangerous for us to  film here.

I can give you chapter and  verse on the legal implications if you need, but suffice to say that the first  legal opinion was so scary we went out and got two others. All three attorneys  agreed.

We are relatively small  potatoes in television, but our relocation of production will cost Colorado a  little less than a million dollars in 2013.

Secondly, we have  proudly promoted Colorado in our productions (and have been moving more and  more production into the state); now we will do exactly the opposite. What  does this mean for Colorado ? The community of television producers is a small  one. Last week I had lunch with a major network producer who was looking to  locate his new reality series in Colorado . That producer is also a shooter,  and the new reality series will now be based out of Phoenix . That lunch cost  Colorado over a million in economic impact.

Thirdly, according to  numbers I received from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (for whom I  used to work) yesterday, hunting had an almost $800,000,000 impact on Colorado  in 2012, driving as many as 8330 jobs. Next
month I will be in Texas meeting  with most of the top outdoor/hunting producers, and the Number One agenda item  will be Colorado . Already, hunting organizations and statewide hunting clubs  around the country are pulling out of Colorado , and we expect this trend to  accelerate rapidly.

The message we will take to  our viewers and listeners is that these proposed laws are so dangerous to  hunters and any other person, be she a fisherman or a skier who brings a  handgun into the state for self-defense, that we
cannot recommend hunting,  fishing or visiting Colorado. We reach millions of people, and, quite frankly,  we have a credibility that Colorado government officials can no longer match.  Colorado Division of Wildlife is already running ads trying to bring more  out-of-state hunters to Colorado…in light of the flood of negative publicity  about these proposed laws, I can assure you those ads will fail.

We estimate that as many as  one-quarter to one-third of out-of-state hunters will desert Colorado in the  next 18-24 months, which will quite frankly be a disaster for the hunting  industry in Colorado and have a devastating effect on our western and northern  communities (certainly cities like Grand Junction).

This is not a “boycott” in the  traditional sense of a centralized, organized operation; rather, it is more of  a grassroots decision on where shooters, hunters and other sportsmen are  willing to spend their money. Look at the
collapse of the Eastern Sports and  Outdoor Show in February. That venerable multimillion dollar trade show chose  to ban modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines, and within  three weeks it collapsed as all vendors and sponsors pulled  out.

Colorado is going to pay a  huge price for laws that will do nothing. Thank you, sir, for your  support.

Best.

Michael Bane

IT BEGINS…. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ALL ON  YOUR ADDRESS LIST… THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT PROGRESSIVES!! SHOW THESE  SOCIALISTS THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR  STUPIDITY.

The stupidity of gun control laws is overwhelming.  The only guns that are controlled are those of upstanding, law-abiding Americans who are only trying to protect themselves from the criminals who won’t obey the laws, anyway.  All they do is make easier targets for the bad guys.  It’s obvious the government’s goal is to disarm the citizens.  And the reason they are doing that?  They are afraid.  The socialist agenda calls for the government to control us…and they can’t do that if we are armed.  One more reason to express the opinion that…
