In Remembrance of the Victims of September 11th 2001 Terrorist Attack

image

 

Leprechaun here folks~

I’ve found myself on detached field duty as well it seems. I got a call very late Sunday evening asking me to come and speak to a bunch of Military Prep School kids about September 11th and my personal experiences. Seems a few of the kids had expressed some sentiments that indicated they felt dubious about the import and significance of remembering the tragedy. Apparently nobody at the school thought they knew anyone who was involved with or even remotely connected to the terrorist attacks.  I’m spending my day speaking to the 4 different classes relating my experiences, both personal and military regarding the incident and the aftermath.

RELAX there will still be an issue tomorrow, I had it mostly in the can before I left for my 6 hour road trip thru the hell that is incessant highway construction in Texas. I decided as I’m sitting here in the “Instructor’s Lounge” to post this impromptu remembrance since Impish did not remark upon the upcoming event and though I do tomorrow, that’s in the past tense and since I was once again vividly reliving the day it suddenly didn’t feel like enough.

Remembering 9/11

In the aftermath of the devastation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, we swore as a nation that we would never forget. We would never forget the names of the victims.

They were husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. They were firefighters and police officers – heroes in the ultimate sense of the word.

We swore we’d never forget the price we pay for freedom. Our bravest men and women have proudly paid that cost ever since. We swore we would never forget the unity of spirit and of purpose we all felt in the months after that fateful day.

Out of all the things we swore to remember, that has been the hardest. As we reflect on the last 11 years, we feel again the pain of loss we all felt on September 11, 2001. That’s why we should come together again as one nation, united under God.

Please take some time to visit these websites. They are online memorials of one of the most tragic events our country has experienced. Join me in renewing our promise to never forget that day

PLEASE take a minute out of your busy day to  pray for the September 11th victims and their families as well as those First Responders who lost their lives in the immediate aftermath. Leave us not forget either those who now protect us against such things but most importantly to remember this cowardly atrocity.

Make the next generation understand why we fight in Afghanistan and places like it, not because Americans love war, but because we love our freedom and security.

adult1_thumb1_thumbGood Morning Campers!  Wow!  The things that have gone on this week.  Last night (Thursday) we get word that the Court of appeals has upheld Arizona’s controversial law that says they are allowed to check whether someone is in the country on some sort of legal status while stopping them for some other legitimate reason.  I think we’re going to start a pool as to whether the United States (in the persona of Mr. Obama) has the stones to take it to the next court….if there even IS a next court.  What do you guys think?

Yes, as the header proclaims, I’m on the road again this next week….Actually, as you are reading this on Saturday morning, I left yesterday.  I’m in Wisconsin for a week for another base’s training exercise where I get to help judge/teach part of the requirements for exercise completion.  Should be lots of fun.  I’ll try and send updates, either through here or through Lethal as to how it’s going.

So now, let’s say we get to it and laff!!!!

New Medicare part X.  This is a grand idea!  First of all, it will work, secondly, I won’t increase expenses near as much as a new program will, because this program is using facilities and procedures that are all ready in place.  So, here is the new plan description…

You’re a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you. So what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need!
Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They’re all covered.

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It’s the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

And you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you are at it.

Plus, and because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income taxes anymore.
Is this a great country or what? 

Okay campers, now it’s your turn to tear this idea apart and to submit a new program of your own makeup.

The Look!
73The exact same look you get from your friends when you inform them that you plan to vote for Obama in November!

laugh and point

This should (and does for me) scare the shit out of us!  This is important, please watch the video!  You’ll have to go to the website to do that, but trust me when I tell you that its worth it!

I know the food thing is usually in the Leprechauns wheelhouse, but I have to share this with you.  It’s something Toni shared with us.   Toni also says:
Despite the fact that I am a card carrying chocoholic even I think I’d have to draw the line at a chocolate eclair hotdog.  Thanks Toni….I’m relatively sure that we agree whole heartedly with you!

Observations_thumb[1]

New Jersey’s delegates put Mitt Romney and Paul
Ryan over the top on Tuesday. All conventions are
jokes but this one lays it right out. An auditorium
full of Protestants nominates a Mormon and a Roman
Catholic and a hurricane named after a Jew happens by.

President Obama has started work on his convention
speech, but the first draft is too honest: “I killed
bin Laden and I will kill Medicare.”

 


 

Insurance records show that the worst drivers in the
nation are in Washington, D.C. The problem is that now
that people can text donations to candidates, there is no
way any  politician even behind the wheel will be
taking their eyes off their cellphones.

 


 

A study says that death row inmates tend to pick comfort
foods for their last meal, high in calories and heavy on
meat. Apparently most stay away from foods cooked in oil
since the inmate is the one who is eventually going to be fried.

 

The world’s shortest man and woman met in person
for the first time. It was reportedly a pleasant meeting,
made up mostly of just small talk.


Buckingham Palace tried to ban publication of those
nude photos of Prince Harry in Las Vegas. No one in
my generation is judging him. When tabloid stories like
this pop up, Baby Boomers thank God that cell phone
cameras weren’t around when we were young.

 


 

Senate Democrats want money set aside to repair
the Capitol Dome, which has fallen into disrepair
and has more than 1,300 cracks in it. Which means
it is in worse shape than the Senate which is also
in disrepair with 100 cracks in it.

A study suggests that teens who smoke pot risk a long-term
drop in their IQ. Wow, think how much more brilliant Obama
could have been.

The archbishop-elect of San Francisco was arrested in the

wee hours of Saturday morning for alleged DUI in San Diego.
The Vatican is just relieved there wasn’t an altar boy in the car.

Mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a couple nice cold beers. The day was really quite beautiful, and the brew facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.

Finally I thought about an age old question:

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the Nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.

Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, “it might be nice to have another child.”
On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, “You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts.”

I rest my case.

Case closed.

Twin Babies Love It When Daddy Plays Guitar

Pun-Queen_thumb_thumb
Thanks to our dear, dear friend Diaman for continuing to fill her weekly section up with puns.  I’m not sure where she gets them…and I’m fairly certain I don’t want to know where she gets them from.  Thank you sweet lady.  Thanks for helping us all to laugh just a tiny bit more.

Our Italian Chef died. He pasta way.

University of Texas students put cowbells on their longhorn mascot because his horns don’t work.

He who dies with the most houses, cars and deposits in off-shore accounts wins.

I came upon a man slicing goose feathers and stuffing them into a pillow. “Would you like a cigarette?” I asked. He answered, “No thanks, I’m trying to cut down.”

Two Muslims have crashed a speedboat into the Thames barrier in London.
Police think it might be the start of Ram-a-dam.

The jogger who overslept found himself running late.

I’ll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself.

The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can’t improve your lie.

Elevators have their ups and downs, but escalators are a step in the right direction.

Apparently the maid I hired to clean my house, while I was watching the London Olympics, was only second best. She just walked off with the silver.

The reason weddings are so happy is because so many of the practices that take place at them are custom merry.

The gravity was so powerful, I couldn’t stand it.

Any ball that was rolling or bouncing in a haphazard manner should be passed to a teammate rather than used to score. To remind them, he printed across the top of the chalkboard, in the locker room, ‘Ball that fritters is not goaled’.

Another day, another naked man gets arrested covered in cooking spray. All I hope for is that his girlfriend’s name is Pam. 

I used to work as a trapeze artist…until I was let go.

An insulting telegram is a barbed wire.

A Scotsman is on holiday in New York City. It’s a balmy spring day and he is wearing a kilt. A young woman comes up to him and boldly asks him if anything is worn beneath the kilt. “No lassie” he replies, “everything is in fine working order.”

A man walks into a bar with a set of jumper cables. The bartender says “Hey, don’t think you’re going to come in here and start something!”

He became an electrician because as a child his mother always took him to the outlet stores.

He’s doing much butter since he found a whey of milking his firm of expenses when none have been in curd.

There once was a lawyer named Bender,

Leprechaun Laughs # 157 for Wednesday September 5th 2012

 

image

Wow! I see SOME of you really made the most of your 3 day weekends! Those are some impressive sunburns and hangovers (both alcohol  and waistline/belt) I can see lingering in a few of you.

Well time to set our sights on fall now, school is back in session (thank the gods for the peace during the day finally but damn them for the snail paced school busses that refuse to pull over and allow traffic to pass them).

I’m happy to report that Notre Dame soundly sank Navy 50 – 10. It was a heck of a game, made even more so by the extremely early time it was televised here in the States as it was played in Dublin Ireland at Aviva Stadium. It’s the second time the schools have met in Dublin. Notre Dame rolled to a 54-27 win in 1996, Lou Holtz’s final season as the Irish’s head coach. A long time ago.

https://i0.wp.com/www.celtictours.com/nd2012/images/notredamenavyside.jpg

The Navy–Notre Dame series has been played annually since 1914, making it the longest uninterrupted intersectional series in college football. Notre Dame holds a 71-12-1 series edge. Before Navy won a 46-44 triple-overtime thriller in 2007, Notre Dame had a 43-game winning streak that was the longest series win streak between two annual opponents in the history of Division I FBS football. Navy’s previous win came in 1963, 35-14 with future Heisman Trophy winner and NFL QB Roger Staubach at the helm.

https://i0.wp.com/www.fancyfreeholidays.com/Fancy/Images/GfxPkg/2012_notre_dame_navy_image.jpg

And yes, just to be honest, I would have said I was happy if Navy had one as well. When your alma mater and your favorite college team play one another its all good regardless of what happens is my philosophy.

Well our “Fund the Blog For Another Year” Drive has come to a close with the arrival of September 1st. Our last big hurrah of a push was a success, no doubt due to my promise that if we hit the $300 mark I would refrain from bashing Obama, mentioning the political situation and even as an added incentive not throw Impish under the proverbial bus until after November 1st. That’s 2 straight months, 9 entire issues- will I go insane? Have a stroke in a fit of apoplexy? Stress induced heart attack? Be taken away to the land of padded cells & pharmaceutical mood enhancements? Guess we’re going to find out together.

I’d like to thank our last two contributors who helped up reach a grand total of $320 to keep our blog up, running and our coffee urn in the production offices full. George Soros and Barrack Obama each made $30 contributions to the cause of keeping my Leprechaun Laughs Parting Shot political indictments of the Democrats and their Liberal agenda in general silent for most to the rest of the election season. Thanks for proving just what a cheap couple of SOBs you are unless you’re paying for things with other people’s money!

NO that was NOT ‘Political’…that was PERSONAL.

And now without further ado…

Pleasing A Woman

A group of girlfriends went on vacation and they see a five-story hotel with a sign that reads “For Women Only.” Since they were without their boyfriends, they decide to go in.

The Doorman, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works, “We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It’s easy to decide, since each floor has signs telling you what’s inside. The only rule is, once you leave a floor, you can’t return to it.”

The women talk it over and decide to go for it. They start going up, and on the first floor the sign reads “All the men here are horrible lovers, but they are sensitive and kind.” The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the Second floor reads! “All the men here are wonderful lovers, but they generally treat women badly.” This wasn’t going to do so again they head for the stairs.

The friends move up to the Third floor where the sign read “All the men here are great lovers and sensitive to the needs of women.” This was good but there were still two more floors…

So on to the Fourth floor, the sign was perfect. “All the men here have perfect builds; are sensitive and attentive to women; are perfect lovers; they are also single, rich and straight”

The women seemed pleased but they decide that they would rather see what the fifth floor has to offer before they settle for the fourth.

When they reach the Fifth floor, there is only a sign that reads:

“There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is simply no way to please a woman.”

will.i.am releases “Reach For The Stars” by beam from Mars

(CNN) — Rapper will.i.am can boast of an accomplishment that is out of this world: His latest single premiered from Mars, making it the first song to debut on another planet.

The Black Eyed Peas singer wrote the song, “Reaching for the Stars,” to mark the successful landing of NASA’s Curiosity rover on the Red Planet this month.

A far cry from his regular hip-hop tunes, it features a 40-piece orchestra set to a futuristic beat.

The song is set to transcend time and cultures, he said.

PAst Feature Update

In Leprechaun Laughs # 155 for Wednesday Aug 22, 2012  we talked about how all the reasons proponents of gun control have been demonstrated to be untrue, circular in logic, unconstitutional and in fact lead to a greater risk not a less risk of being sot in public by a deranged gunman.

I showed you a clip of a lone senior citizen LAWFULLY carrying a concealed weapon thwarting a robbery where both robbers were armed with deadly weapons. I also touched on how little news exposure that story got due to our media no longer being unbiased, fair or accurate in their reporting of their heavily censored individual corporate versions of the news.

Here is another case in point which occurred all the way back in April but is just now getting National attention because of the Internet as opposed to news outlets:

Gun carrying man ends stabbing spree at Salt Lake grocery store

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith’s store.
Police say the suspect purchased a knife inside the store and then turned it into a weapon. Smith’s employee Dorothy Espinoza says, “He pulled it out and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my people.”
Espinoza says, the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. “There is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms.”
Then, before the suspect could find another victim – a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. “A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith’s grabbed him.”

By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, “This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time.”
Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also thankful for the gun carrying man. And many, like Danylle Julian, are still in shock from the experience. “Scary actually. Really scary. Five minutes before I walk out to my car. It could have been me.”
Police say right now they have no idea what caused the suspect to go on the dangerous rampage. (We will update as soon as we learn new information.)
So far, police have not released the names of the suspect, the victims or the man who pulled the gun.

As she was getting ready to head out to clean up, her supervisor noticed her putting rocks in her pockets. When asked what she was doing, she pointed out that it was so windy out she was afraid of getting knocked over by the wind.
‘So,’ she said, ‘now I weigh me down to sweep.’

I had in fact planned a completely different Parting Shot today. In fact writing it so I could finish this issue and set it to auto post tomorrow because I procrastinated all Labor Day weekend was at the top of my list of things to do today- right after reading my e-mails. Then I saw the send below four different time from four different people whom I THOUGHT were responsible enough web surfers to check facts (or at least spot check them) to see if what they are passing along when of an inflammatory nature has ANY basis in reality.

Mistaken sadly was I. Necessary to address this it is humm?  (DAMN IT! UNCLE YODA GET OUT OF MY HEAD!) Ahem, as I was saying…

This Parting Shot requires to additional labels and a disclaimer before we proceed I am informed by our legal and editorial departments so as not to run afoul of any promises, verbal agreements or implied contracts I may have made:

Myth Busted

and… 

I smell bull shit 

I’m sure many of you have seen the source material for these comments in your Inboxes of late, (in fact I KNOW you have because several of you have forwarded it to both Impish and I) I got this from SO many of you people that you can all claim responsibility for my feeling it necessary to come out in commentary defense of the truth.

Disclaimer: I would like to mention before going further that prior of authoring this piece I consulted with our legal council and asked out  Editor in Chief (a.k.a. Keeper of the Red Crayon of Deletion) Impish if these comments broke my contract with you donators regarding my no politics or dragon bashing pledge. After due deliberation it was decided that since I was not promoting one side over the other nor bashing either side but simply addressing the total lack of factuality in this e-mail that I was in fact NOT breaking my contract but was in fact busting a virulent and currently popular myth, something which it could be reasonably argued was part of our “mission statement” here at DL/LL Enterprises and possibly even my patriotic duty!

What pisses me off is this kind of crap- BLAINTANT MISREPRESENTATIOON VIA OUTRIGHT LIES makes the majority of the American voting populace misinformed because 75% of the world thinks everything that is put on the internet has to be true. We welcome debate, we welcome opposing point of view but we INSIST on accuracy and truthfulness of FACT be the basis of any such exchange.

Subject: O’s Recent Executive Orders

Now, “free” citizen, how do you feel about your government? The items below are controlled by people who can’t come up with a budget, have made a series of bad decisions on the economy, on the environment, on world affairs, giving our tax money plus what we have to borrow – to countries who are on record as wanting us dead….given by people we voted into office.

Voting the present crowd out will get rid of the most heinous,…. but not all …..the problems. Pray…and vote.

A Comprehensive List Of Obama’s Recent Executive Orders

There have been over 900 Executive Orders put forth from President Obama, all taking place in only his first term. I have compiled a choice list of ‘Emergency Powers’, (a pathway to government seizure) executive orders:

—-Look these up and read these in full for yourselves:

* Executive Order 10990
allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

* Executive Order 10995
allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

* Executive Order 10997
allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

* Executive Order 11000
allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

* Executive Order 11001
allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.

* Executive Order 11002
designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

* Executive Order 11003
allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

* Executive Order 11004
allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations. (Research “Agenda 21”)

* Executive Order 11005
allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

* Executive Order 11049
assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issues over a fifteen-year period.

* Executive Order 11051
specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

* Executive Order 11310
grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

* Executive Order 11921
allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency,
Congress cannot review the action for six months.

This is in no way the vision that our Founders had for this country; in fact, it is quite the opposite:
The Constitution was designed to KEEP the government from taking control. It is more than clear from these executive orders that the current administration is helping to shape a government control and takeover of the key institutions in America, food,energy, transportation, work, banking, and health.These executive orders force us to submit to international regulations instead of our own Constitution (without your representative in Congress being able to have any say). It is time to demand our elected leaders start protecting America, our sovereignty, and our Constitution–––not Government control.

This is not a partisan issue!!!

Tell me, if you hadn’t read this, would you even know about it or any of these Executive Orders?

So, now you know. What are you going to do about it?

Answer: What the Founders provided you the freedom to do:

VOTE!!

Oh boy! Where to start? I guess I’d better hitch up the Dragon Honey Wagon because there is so much BS here It well might over flow a normal one!

Most of the cited Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and many were actually the Orders of President Kennedy NOT Barack Obama. MOST of these orders were all signed during the creation of and relate to the powers and authority of FEMA. Hell the majority of them are not even valid any longer having been replaced by later Executive Orders!

Executive Order 11004 has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with “Agenda 21” and was signed LONG before 1997 when “Agenda 21” came into being.

  • Executive Order 11004. Assigning certain emergency preparedness functions to the Housing and Home Finance Administrator. Signed: February 16, 1962 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=58928 
  • Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regards to sustainable development. It is a product of the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. The “21” in Agenda 21 refers to the 21st century. It has been affirmed and modified at subsequent UN conferences.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21

Additionally 10990 (the first one listed) was signed by JFK and is in fact given over to “RE-ESTABLISHING THE FEDERAL SAFETY COUNCIL” [www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=58928] This is a FAR CRY from:

 FEMA Executive Order 10990: EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports  http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/fema_executive_orders.htm

BEGORRAH!  Someone needs to bloody well pry off their tinfoil hat, its either depriving their brain of blood and oxygen  or baking the bloody wee thing apparently!

First, none of those Executive Orders allows the government to suspend the Constitution.

Second, all the orders do is allow for emergency powers in the case of an emergency. 11049, for example, was utilized in the run-up to hurricane Rita to enable the government to set all lanes of I-10 to run out of Houston instead of two lanes into the city and two out. Trust me on this- I WAS HERE FOR IT!

Third,  note that well over half of the EO’s that our conspiracy cultist quotes are no longer even valid, having been superseded by other EO’s further down the list. [i.e. Presidential Executive Order 10990 has been superseded by EO 11612]

Fourth, partly as an aside and partly on point, I’d like to personally point out that this Orwellian Authoritarian Doomsday Nightmare Scenario is precisely what makes the protection of our Second Amendment and State’s Rights so vitally important!  With an armed populace this scenario becomes pretty damned near to impossible to enact, more so if the states refuse to go along with it and deny the government use of their respective National Guard troops!

While I agree there is some possible potential for misuse, given today’s citizen mindset and the level of over all anti government sentiment (to say nothing of the intense dislike and completely lack of confidence which the public holds FEMA in)  I seriously doubt that ANYONE would succeed in implementing these orders in the Orwellian Authoritarian Doomsday Nightmare Scenario this sensationalizer of misquotes & citation of erroneous sources is attempting to portray.

Further you should know that ANY Executive Order from a previous administration can be nullified with the inclusion of one simple line in a current Executive Order:

Sec. 6. Revocation.

Executive Order ##### of <pertinent date here>, is revoked.

The VERY FIRST Obama Administration Executive Order was Executive Order 13489 signed on January 21st 2009. The latest one is Executive Order 13618 signed July 6th 2012. That makes a grand total of 130 by my count, a FAR cry from the alleged 900 our anonymous author of absurdities claims. [For proof of this and a list click here]

If you see ANY Executive Orders prior to that numerical range attributed to President Obama be a patriot, demand that all debates discussions and exchanges be founded & grounded in truth and fact and cry;

“THAT’S BULLSHIT!

Lethal Leprechaun showed me the truth and busted that myth!”

Three friends decided to visit a prostitute. It was a slow night,
So she gave the guys a deal. “You can pay by the inch.”
When the first man comes back out his friends ask, “How much did she charge you?”
“$75 dollars,” said the first.
The second guy goes in and returns with a fee of $85. The first
two were proud of their prowess.
The third man goes in and returns, “How much did she charge you?” ask the first two.
” $20 dollars” replies the third.
The first two start laughing hysterically.
“Hey guys,” replied the third, “I’m not so stupid,
I paid on the way out instead of on the way in!”

Chelsea Clinton told Vogue Tuesday she has decided to embrace her inheritance and family legacy. Just what that means is open to speculation. Her parents thought that it meant she is running for office and her husband thought she was already cheating on him


Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says he wonders if Joe Biden has the “mental capacity” to be President. If Americans were concerned about the mental capacity of a candidate, why do they always elect another career politician into the White House?

Resurrection
 
Last night on a planeI was sitting with
a friend I’ve known for many years, talking about church and a whole lot
of political things. Being a US Congressman, Louie visits a lot of
different churches in the area throughout the year and he told me of
what happened in a local church on this past Easter.

The pastor of this Baptist church had called all of the little children
to the front of the church, dressed in their cute Easter outfits and had
them sit around him.

He said “Today is Easter and you all look so handsome and beautiful.
Today we’re going to talk about the resurrection. Does anyone know what
the resurrection is?” One little boy raised his hand, and the pastor
said “Please tell us what the resurrection is”. The boy, proud that he
knew the answer, said in a clear loud voice “When you get one lasting
more than four hours, you gotta call a doctor!”

Thanks to Jonathon for this one called, Diplomacy In Action

Air Force One arrives at Heathrow Airport and President Obama strides to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen.

They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London, where they change to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched behind six white stallions. They continue on towards Buckingham Palace, waving to the thousands of cheering onlookers; all is going well.

Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous earth-shattering fart. The smell is atrocious and both passengers in the carriage must use handkerchiefs over their noses. The fart shakes the coach, but the two dignitaries of State do their best to ignore the incident.

The Queen turns to President Obama, “Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I am sure you understand there are some things that even a Queen cannot control.”

Obama, always trying to be “Presidential,” replies: “Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought. Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses.”

Public Service 1I know that you have heard us talk about the makeuseof.com website.  Make Use Of has everything from funnies to tech tips to give-aways. Today’s public service announcement comes from them and concerns getting water out of your cell phone and back into the toilet, where it belongs.

 

Tip of the Day: Today’s article illustrates the damage water can do to a smartphone or tablet. If you want to clean a smartphone or tablet’s screen, skip the water and use a microfiber cloth (these are often used to clean eyeglasses.) At most, you should use a damp microfiber cloth.
How To Save A Wet Cell Phone Or Tablet

by Christian Cawley

I’ve got bad news for you. Dropping your phone in a puddle of water, bath, sink, toilet – even getting caught in a heavy shower – will leave it irreparably damaged. The same goes for tablet computers.

No more apps, games, Facebook, phonecalls or browsing. All gone.

That is, if you leave it switched on. Switching it off right away is probably the best solution, but it’s not all bad news.

In fact, there are a number of ways in which you can stop your phone or tablet computer from being left as nothing more than an expensive brick following prolonged contact with water.

The Effect of Water Damage

It is important to act fast when your phone or tablet gets wet. Water and electricity simply don’t get along, so a wet device could short out and even give you an electric shock. At best, a bit of water will condense on a hot circuit board or processor and cause damage to the screen, while water can find its way into bezels, slots, under the screen and into the battery cavity.

Today’s Last Word is going to revolve around this particular video, so, let’s watch the video first and then we’ll talk about it.  Again, if you want to see the video you must go to the website to view it.  Go to http://dragonlaffs.com and view the video.

1a_thumb_thumb
Now, after watching the video, here are some more, very important things to think about…

*If any other of our presidents had criticizeda state law that he admitted he never even read,would you think that he is just an ignorant hothead? *

*If any other of our presidents joined thecountry of Mexico and sued a state inthe United States to force that stateto continue to allow illegal immigration,would you question his patriotismand wonder whose side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronouncedthe Marine Corps like Marine Corpse,
would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drillingon companies that have one of thebest safety records of any industrybecause one foreign company had an accident,would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had useda forged documentas the basis of the moratorium that wouldrender 87000 American workersunemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been thefirst President to need a Teleprompterinstalled to be able to get througha press conference, would you havelaughed and said this is more proof of how inepthe is on his own and is really controlledby smarter menbehind the scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spenthundreds of thousands of (our) dollarsto take his First Lady to a play in NYC,would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reducedyour retirement plan holdingsof GM stock by 90% and given theunions a majority stake in GM,would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a jokeat the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had givenGordon Brown a set of inexpensiveand incorrectly formatted DVDs,when Gordon Brown had given hima thoughtful and historically significant gift,would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had giventhe Queen of Englandan iPod containing videos of his speeches,would you have thought ita proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents hadbowed to the King of Saudi Arabiawould you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents hadvisited Austria and made referenceto the nonexistent “Austrian language,”would you have brushed it offas a minor slip? *

*If any other of our presidents had filled hiscabinet and circle of adviserswith people who cannot seem to keepcurrent in their income taxes, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated thatthere were 57 states in the United States, wouldn’t you havehad second thoughtsabout his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would haveflown all the way to Denmarkto make a five minute speech about how theOlympics would benefit himwalking out his front door in his home town,would you not have thought he was aself-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had beenso Spanish illiterate as to refer to“Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassadorwhen it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo),and continued to flub it when he tried again,wouldn’t you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned9,000 gallons of jet fuelto go plant a single tree on Earth Day,would you have concludedhe’s a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents’administrations had okayedAir Force One flying low over millionsof people followed by a jet fighterin downtown Manhattan causingwidespread panic,would you have wondered whether theyactually get what happened on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed tosend relief aid to flood victimsthroughout the Midwest with more people killedor made homeless than in New Orleans,would you want it madeinto a major ongoing political issue withclaims of racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had createdthe position of 32 Czars who report directly to him,bypassing the House and Senateon much of what is happening in America,would you have ever approved? *
 
*If any other of our presidents hadordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation,
even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,would you have approved? *

*So, tell me again,what is it about Obama that makeshim so brilliant and impressive? *

*Can’t think of anything?Don’t worry.He’s done all this in 42 monthsso you don’t have that much time tocome up with an answer.*
 
*Every statement and action in this email is factualand directly attributable toBarrack Hussein Obama.Every bumble is a matter of recordand completely verifiable. *
AND NOW–
HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM.
WAKE UP AMERICA…2012 IS UPON US
