Good Morning Campers!!!!
Dragon Laffs is six years-old today!
Sort of.
Well, actually we are at LEAST six years old, but today is the day that I took Dragon Laffs public with a seat on yahoo groups.  Prior to that, it was a straight email newsletter, until I got called a spammer by my ISP for sending out a thousand emails a day.  Yup, every day.  I had A LOT more time then.  It would take upwards of 30 minutes a day just for the emailing because it had to be broken down into so many different groups and … well… it was a real mess!
But I think we’ve grown some since then.  But the one thing we haven’t grown has been subscribers!  And we’re going to work on that, not sure how just yet, but we will.
And tomorrow is the day that all us Fathers get a chance to sit on our ass and … yeah, right.  Okay, so we get the grill out and we … so how is that different from any other weekend?  Hmm, well, happy Father’s Day just the same to all you Fathers out there.  Probably the second toughest job on the planet behind Mother.  Hope you all have a great day and hope your children remember you, with at least a phone call.
Anyway, we need to get into the laughter, but first, I want to start this issue out with a mini rant.  Now, under normal circumstances I would never put a rant in the opening…but since I didn’t get this article until after the entire  issue was set up, except the opening and I felt like it was important enough to talk about, I’m going to jump in with:

A columnist named John Sexton wrote an article called:
SPENDING OFF THE HOOK: FREE PHONES COSTING TAXPAYERS $2.1 BILLION PER YEAR
Here’s the article…not quite in it’s entirety…with my comments liberally interspersed.
You’re probably familiar with the food stamp program which grew from $35 billion in 2008 to $75 billion last year. (Okay, stop right there!  A 100% increase in food stamps in 3 years!  Is that not enough, on it’s own merits, right there to say that this crap isn’t working! Do we have 100% more people in the U.S. in the last 3 years? {well, hell!  With illegal aliens we may very well!  Okay, that’s another topic!}  All that hope and change he promised hasn’t amounted to a pile of crap.  We’re so much worse off now than when he started.) But did you know that getting food stamps also makes you eligible for a free government cell phone?

A program called Lifeline provides free phones and free monthly minutes to anyone food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, Head Start, and several other government programs.  And just like food stamps, Lifeline (aka “phone stamps”) has been growing by leaps and b0unds since 2008, at a significant cost to taxpayers. (Us!)

Lifeline was started in the mid-‘80s to reduce the cost of phone service to rural and needy customers.  The programs costs are covered by a tax included on every monthly phone bill called the Universal Service Charge.  (Do you guys remember the beginning of that program?  If I remember correctly, it started with a discounted wall phone and free local calls.  The idea being that the needy were less likely to seek out preventative medical care and thus were more likely to need the services of emergency medical care.  This also allowed needy families with young babies to phone doctors and such.  I’m all for that.  Especially now.  You can get a land line phone for $14 {the last time I checked} with local calls only.  But this program is bullshit.  Plain and simple!)

In 2011 the FCC estimated the cost of the program would be $2.1 billion and said it would reach $3.3 billion by 2014 absent major reforms.  The FCC also found that part of the problem with the program was rampant fraud.  (Okay, my math mentality is coming out…let’s check something real quick.  As of April 1, 2010 (the date of the last US census) the population of the United States and all it’s territories was 312,913,872.  That’s 310 million (not billion) let’s make it easy on ourselves and round it up to 320 million.  That’s $6.56 from each of us, for this program only.  That’s twenty bucks (for my family) out of my pocket. And it’s taken from us pennies at a time.  It gets worse….keep reading my campers) How bad is the fraud?  A survey conducted by the FCC across 17 states and territories found that, on average, 9% of phone recipients were ineligible.  In some states like Alabama, New Hampshire, and West Virginia, the ineligibility rate was 18-19%.  And all of that is based on a survey to which 27% of the users refused to respond to questions. (And how many of the others that DID answer told the truth?  Do we honestly expect that someone who is defrauding (read as “stealing”) the government to be HONEST about it?  I’d bet that it’s a lot closer to those two numbers added together… at least.  27% + 19% = 46%…that would be the Impish Dragon estimate…half!  Half of these entitlement focused rat bastards are stealing our money.)

In order to combat this problem, the FCC recommending the creation of a national database to keep track of multiple users.  The project was expected to cost $7.5 to $10 million to set up, though this is much less than the amount the government is expected to save by cutting duplicate lines. 

The article goes on to say more about people replacing phones they were already paying for with free ones.  If you can already afford a cell phone, what the hell are you doing on food stamps and such anyway???  Oh, I know, so they can afford their cigarettes and pizza delivery!  Oh, and let’s not forget about Disney World…I’ll get to that in a minute.  When I was working as a police dispatcher for the Indiana State Police, the pay was horrendous.  I worked almost full time hours at the county jail, and more hours stocking boxes in the early morning at my local Target.  We didn’t have basic cable, we had NO cable (unlike those same inmates at the jail, who had damn near full cable).  We ate a hell of a lot of noodles and pasta, on the rare occasion that I would treat myself to a smoke, it was generic and there’s  no way in hell we ordered pizza.  Granted, there are aggravating medical issues in my family and that’s where an awful lot of my money went.  We weren’t on food stamps, why should we be, I could work.  And work I did, usually more than a hundred hours a week.  I didn’t own a cell phone until I got this (much better paying) job and needed one. 

What I’m trying to say is not “oh pity me” or any of that bullshit, but when did we begin to think that it was a GOOD thing to take a permanent hand out from our fellow human beings and allow them to do the work that we are supposed to be doing?  HOW CAN THEY LOOK THEMSELVES IN THE EYE IN THE MIRROR???  Quite frankly I’m sick and tired of paying the way for someone who’s not willing to get off their ass and work for a living.  (And for those of you who are going to say it, you know damn well I’m not talking about the REAL needy who require our help to survive!!!!)  I’m tired of being robbed from.  Tired of having someone else’s hand in my pocket taking my money!!!!

And speaking of Disney World (told you I’d get back to that) someone I trust with my life who works there was grumbling to me the other day about the people who were using welfare checks to go to Disney World.  Seriously? Are you kidding me, Mr. Obama and the rest of you liberal minded bullshit artists???  I’m paying for someone who can’t get off their ass to work to go to Disney when I can’t even afford for my own, perfectly aged 10 year-old daughter, not to mention my older children and grand children to go, but you can take my money away from me so some dirt bag, scum bunny can go?

I’ve said enough.  I need to laugh.  Really badly, do I need to laugh, so let’s laugh…

The Physical
During my physical, my doctor asked me about my daily activity level,
and so I described a typical day this way:
“Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake and took four “leaks” behind the big trees.”
Inspired by the story, the doctor said, “You must be one hell of an outdoorsman!”
“No,” I replied, “I’m just a shitty golfer.”

An oldie but goodie from Paul…

When four deer hunters arrived at the deer camp for their annual hunt they found that all the lodging was taken except for two cabins, both equipped with two beds.

Three of them, John, Bill and Fred had a lively discussion as who would bunk with Bob who was a habitual snorer.

They finally decided that the only fair way was to take turns.

Bill shared a cabin with Bob the first night and the next morning he appeared red-eyed from lack of sleep. He said that Bob snored so loud that getting to sleep was impossible so he sat up all night and watched Bob.

The second night it was Fred’s turn and the next morning he looked even worse than Bill had. He stated that Bob’s snoring was so loud that even the windows shook and there was no way he could get to sleep so he too sat up all night and watched Bob.

The third night was John’s turn and the next morning he appeared all bright-eyed, alert and fully rested and Bob looked as if he had not slept.

Bill and Fred was amazed at John’s appearance and asked him what happened.

John told them that when they went to bed he patted Bob on the bottom, kissed him on the cheek, and Bob sat up watching him all night!

How about some observations from Ginny…

Bill Clinton says he supports Obama and is “very sorry for this stirring up.” He adds that he did not mean to undermine the President with his comments on tax cuts and Romney’s business record. Gosh, who’d a thunk it? Bill not thinking about possible consequences of his actions….

Michelle Obama applauded New York’s proposed ban on large sugary drinks. It’s got the city in turmoil. Last night the police let a guy go for having less than twenty-five grams of marijuana on him but arrested him for having more than sixteen ounces of Pepsi.

NBC News reported grim statistics indicating that the U.S. lost one hundred and thirty thousand millionaires just last year. It could be a problem for Democrats. President Obama can’t very well attack Mitt Romney if he’s on the Endangered Species List.

President Obama’s campaign is spending $12 million on a one-minute commercial hitting Mitt Romney’s business record. Though Obama’s made some bad business moves too — like spending $12 million on a one-minute commercial.

Here’s a letter we received from one of our loyal campers.  You may remember him from previous letters we’ve received in the past.  Folks…he just ain’t right.  But that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh “with” him, right?

Dear Impish and Lethal,

I just had to share my experiences with y’all, since I know how concerned y’all are for the welfare of your readers.  (And you know what a big fan of Welfare I am anyway, heh, heh!)  Well, this ain’t that kind of Welfare anyways, but it might have something to do with that Obama-Care that I been readin’ so much about.

After going to my own doctor, (when I can get an appointment with him.  I think I told you fellas before that Doc Pritcherd is a busy man what with the Provision Medicare Facility, Plumbing Supply House and Bait Store here in Provision, Louisiana) and suffering  the discomfort and embarrassment of a colonoscopy I decided to have my next one carried out while visiting some of my like-minded friends in San Francisco, where the beautiful nurses are allegedly much more gentle and accommodating.
Well, I’m tell you fellas, as I lay naked on my side on the table, the gorgeous nurse began my procedure.
“Don’t worry, at this stage of the procedure it’s quite normal to get an erection,” the nurse told me.
“I haven’t got an erection,” I replied.
“No, but I have,” replied the nurse.
Fellas, don’t be getting a colonoscopy in San Francisco.

President Obama’s heavy high school pot smoking is described in a new bio by David Maraniss. This could be his second-term recovery plan that works. Legalizing pot and then taxing it could allow Americans to smoke their way back to a balanced federal budget.

 

The Window Through Which We Look…

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the Wash outside.
“That laundry is not very clean”, she said. “She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.”
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
“Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this.”
The husband said, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look!

Some of you have been concerned for my health and I thought I’d tell you about my new workout program…

I am walking with a neighbor every day.

I never knew walking with someone else was such an incentive.

We don’t talk much during the walk though.

My neighbor walks about 10 feet ahead of me.

I only started the program this week.. And it’s only Saturday.
So far, I have followed her for 10 miles . . . Without even using my cane!
I am feeling better each mile and my heart condition, my blood pressure and my breathing seem to be improving.

Thanks for your concern.

not sure if this one is going to work here or not!

Yeah, my scale gives me the same crappy back talk!

Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited free minutes, cash for his clunker, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free drugs, Air Jordan shoes, and he will vote Democratic for life.

Yup, that’s exactly right

Of course it does.

How about a new pictorial series?  This one called:

Transportation Consternation

Yes, that is a cow in the back seat.

Geez!  Ya think?

And it was a sight to behold!

I found this quite an interesting article.  This was sent to me by my Dad, whom, I’m sure, got it from someone else.  I tried to do my due diligence and everything that I found supported this information.
We often forget that it’s not really the man in the oval office who’s in charge.  Most of the time he’s just the ringleader and ‘tis the clowns who really run the circus!
Thanks for reading along and I’d like to hear your opinions.

Tends to make a lot more things fall into place, doesn’t it?  Well, for me it does, any how.  It means also that not only do we have to get rid of the Loony Left in the White House, but we have to do the same with Congress and the Senate so that the right will have a chance to fix this mess by having all the tools needed.
Come on folks.
The Left have had 4 years of a majority to fix this crap and all they’ve done is made it worse, let’s give it a try the other way, 4 years of right dominance and see which works out better!

And how about this one for a billboard all over the country!  The Democrats are demanding the last 12 years of Romney’s Tax Returns… can you say hypocrite?

My new favorite bumper sticker:

 Well we’re broiling here in Texas already. Not quite as bad as this time last year where we had already had 2 back to back 105 degree days but steady low 90s all the same. According to the Weather Guessers:

Spring fever: US smashes heat record for season

WASHINGTON (AP) — Call it spring’s fever. Federal records show the U.S. just finished its hottest spring on record.

March, April and May in the Lower 48 states beat the oldest spring temperature record by a full 2 degrees. The three months averaged 57.1 degrees, more than 5 degrees above average. That’s the most above normal for any U.S. season on record. Meteorologists define those three months as spring.

and as if that were not bad enough, they continue their litany of good news:

The first five months of 2012 were the hottest start to a year in U.S. weather record history. The 12-month period starting last June is also the hottest on record.

however before all you AL-ien GORE-ites and you Vapor Trail Conspiracy Theorist Vapor Headed Tree Huggers out there start crowing about “Global Warning! Global Warming! We never met a half baked theory of mismatched and excessively manipulated data we couldn’t gleefully and ignorantly swallow whole for later regurgitation as gospel truth!” the weather guessers point at a different reason:

Meteorologists blamed a persistent weather pattern.

Unfortunately this also means we are slipping back into drought conditions again slowly but surely as well. Now I can hear a few of you more inquiring minds (and dependable straight men) saying “Gee Lethal, how hot IS it in Texas?!”  Well I’m glad you asked let me just put up this photo by way of illustrating the answer to that point:

We just grind up a salt lick and toss the the feed corn with it and a little corn oil load the feeder station and give ‘er a couple hours and then PRESTO munches not only for the deer but the hunters as well!

Seriously though, Sunday we had a NWS Warning for a Heat Index of 105 to 112, Monday that same warning read Heat Index of 103 to 107 and  it’s respected to continue in the 102 to 105 range for the rest of the week.

I’d like to express my thanks to those who commented or wrote to express they’re sympathy for Molly & my having suffered a substantial unauthorized withdrawal from our bank account. I’m pleased to say we were able to resolve the situation quickly and fairly easily, abet with copious amounts of Tylenol and Tums. The money is back in our account where it belongs, true to their word and advertizing BoA had it back there in 24 hours, though they took substantially longer to inform us that all had been corrected and all was in fact as it should be again.

Because this was not an individual but a shady financial outfit doing the unauthorized stealing it is unclear if I will get my pound of flesh and see them prosecuted for their antics. I doubt that we are the sole beneficiaries of this sort of tactic by them and I am hoping that the complaints made both by myself and the BoA to 2 different State Attorney General’s Offices will have some positive result. Mean time I am reviewing other possible avenues of pursuing punitive litigation and/or criminal charges against them for their actions via other venues.

Even more important than coffee you are all no doubt dying to get to (pauses for the gasps of amazement to settle down) is something else today, tomorrow is Flag Day here in the U.S.A. A day that gets largely overlooked unless you’ve fought for it, under it or to raise it in some foreign place under hostile fire or so it seems.

We here at DL/LL Electronic Media Enterprises would like you all to join us in taking a moment to render honors to this enduring symbol of our nation.

Please take this moment to consider exactly what the Pledge of Allegiance is all about with one of the wisest patriots I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. 

 

 

OH MAN! Some of you really WERE desperate to get to the coffee!

Late Night Laughs

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno

Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in his Harvard dorm room and in eight years built it into the most popular waste of time the world has ever seen.

Al Gore has a new girlfriend. Apparently, it’s getting pretty serious. He’s already been over to bore her parents.

Gore and his girlfriend were spotted taking long walks on the beach, measuring how much the sea is rising.

President Obama gave the commencement speech at Barnard College the other day. He told graduates their future is bright unless they want jobs.

Late Show With David Letterman

A 1920 Babe Ruth uniform sold at a sports memorabilia auction for $4 million. As a matter of fact, this is the uniform he was wearing when he was first dating Betty White.

Donald Trump has a game show called “Celebrity Apprentice.” Arsenio Hall is the new champion. That was a real wake-up call for me. One day you’re hosting a late-night talk show and the next day you’re getting coffee for Donald Trump.

That Facebook guy, Mark Zuckerberg, got married over the weekend. His company goes public, and he’s now worth $100 billion. Then he gets married. He may not be as smart as we thought.

Facebook is worth $100 billion. Today it was friended by Greece.

The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson

Police discovered 800 pounds of marijuana in the waters off the coast, just floating in the water. The authorities are advising surfers to stay out of the water. There is nothing more dangerous than a shark with the munchies.

A lot of people say they use Facebook to reconnect with old friends. No thanks. If I’m not friends with you anymore, there’s probably a reason. And that reason is I owe you money.

Some people use Facebook to check up on ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends. That just seems creepy to me. I like it the old-fashioned way. If you want to check up on an ex, go through their trash.

Andy Warhol said that in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Facebook is exactly like that except you’re not really famous and your 15 minutes goes on forever.

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Season seven of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” premiered last night. I really thought I was caught up with them, but now I realize I’m not. It’s such a busy time for the Kardashians right now with the show starting and the NBA playoffs, which as you know is their prime mating season.

Any of you see the eclipse yesterday? I’ve never met anyone with eye damage from an eclipse, but they talk about it all the time. And that proves something I’ve always suspected, that nature is trying to kill us. We have to fight back and kill it first.

No one was more affected by the eclipse than the notorious tanning mom. Stupid moon stole five precious minutes of UV rays from her face and now she’s never going to get those back.

Shares of Facebook stock dropped from the opening day price of $38 to around $34 today. They say if it drops any lower, Mitt Romney will swoop in and divide it up into Face and Book.

Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Mark Zuckerberg and his girlfriend got married — one day after Facebook raised $16 billion on the stock market. Zuckerberg listed the 10 things he loves about her, while she listed the 16 billion things she loves about him.

Mark Zuckerberg got married. Their reception was annoying, though. Right when everyone got used to the seating arrangement, Zuckerberg changed the layout for no reason.

President Obama tossed around a football at Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears. Obama told Biden to go long. Then, he hopped into his car and drove away.

Happy birthday to Mr. T, who turned 60 years old today. You can tell he is getting old. Today he pitied the fool who couldn’t get Barry Manilow tickets.

 

And my personal addition to the Looney Liberal Logic 101 Gallery:

Ok now that you had the carrot in the form of laughs at the liberal’s expense time for the stick in the form of hard facts about what exactly another 4 years of  an Obama Presidency might well mean to us. For those of you with weak hearts &/or stomachs I suggest you scroll by the rest of this thought.

         

Political Reality of the Next Four Years

Read and pass on please even if you’ve already seen it and passed it on before.

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election….
“…..if Mitt wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy.

For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep four things in mind:

1.. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2.. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3.. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4.. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.

We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court — in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky….”
So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can’t win…

Imagine this: SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER

 

Scared the crap out of you didn’t I?  I’ll wait go clean yourself and find some clean skivvies. For those of your with better sphincter control, how’s that heart rate now? There is so many wide eyed people with stand up hair from pacemakers working over time out there to make the audience look like a damned multi colored Chia Pet Forest!

We have an opportunity to stop this from ever happening, BUT ONLY ONE SHOT AT IT. Obama gets elected in November he’s got nothing left to lose. HE’s already said to the Russians that once he get re-elected he’ll have a lot more latitude. That folks is called a permeation, a warning a foretelling of the disasters to come if he does succeed.

That means EVERYONE who reads this blog and agrees Impish and I needs to get out and vote come November. If you don’t like standing in lines get an absentee ballot from fill it out and return it.

 Let’s not waste our one chance for REAL LEGITIMATE SAFE & SANE GOOD OLD FASHION AMERICAN VALUES Hope and Change.

For Sale or Trade

You are probably not very interested in any used farm equipment, but you might enjoy this ad taken from Craig’s List:

Fifty year old manure spreader – $1 [Washington, D.C.]

Fifty-year old manure spreader. Not sure of brand. Said to have been produced in Kenya. Used for a few years in Indonesia before being smuggled into the US via Hawaii. Of questionable pedigree. Does not appear to have ever been worked hard.

Apparently it was pampered by various owners over the years. It doesn’t work very often, but when it does it can really sling the manure for amazing distances. I am hoping to retire the manure spreader next November.

I really don’t want it hanging around getting in the way. I would prefer a foreign buyer to relocate the manure spreader out of the country. I would be willing to trade it for a nicely framed copy of the United States Constitution.

Location: Currently being stored in a big white house in Washington, D.C.

Woman pelts intruder with paintball gun

By Chris Paschenko The Daily News Published June 9, 2012

GALVESTON — A woman armed with a paintball gun pelted an intruder Friday inside her home. Galveston police arrived and found the accused burglar inside covered in yellow paint, authorities said.
Elvis Alexander, 53, was charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft, said Lt. Michael Gray, a Galveston police spokesman. Police took Alexander to the Galveston County Jail, and he remained in the building Friday afternoon on a $40,000 bond, authorities said.

Carrie King, 34, called police about 10:30 a.m., saying she was hiding from an intruder inside her home in the 1100 block of 36th Street, Gray said. An officer arrived, heard yelling and went inside.
“He heard her firing the paintball gun and the sound of the impacts of the paint balls,” Gray said.
Alexander was shot about four times, but he didn’t need medical treatment. Police arrested him inside King’s house, Gray said.
Police accused Alexander of taking coins and Ramen noodles from inside the home.
Alexander lives within four blocks of King and had cut her grass in the past, Gray said.

Civics 101

A black kid asks his dad, “Dad, what’s democracy?” (Wait…the kid doesn’t know his Dad…let’s start over….)

A black kid asks his mom, “Mama, what’s a democracy?”

“Well, son, that’s when whites work every day so we can get all our benefits.

“But mama, don’t the white people get pissed off about that?”

“Sure they do, Baby, but that’s called racism!”

Hmm…Apparently more liberal illogic!

 

Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up – leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little – in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well.

Watch this please-

 

Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc.

Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water.

A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!!

No fingers left unburned (chemical) and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.

Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.

And they want 12 years of Romney’s tax returns????

This should be a billboard!..

 

Pretty sure I blacked out the only inaccuracy in the list (#14 was a fairly well documented urban myth/misrepresentation of the facts…you know a lot like most Democratic/Liberal answers to questions regarding Obama) ‘lest the whiney liberals try to make a federal case of misrepresentation of a single fact as if we were some news or media source.  In truth it gets harder and harder to do the verification of facts on Obama and his administration everyday because they are so busy sealing things or sneaking/ hiding their actions largely with the aid of the liberal press whose responsibility it is SUPPOSED to be to keep us unbiasedly informed of ALL THE NEWS  and HARD FACTS

 

 

A really good summary of the many things wrong with our country these days. Oh, I just can’t wait till Nov. 6! That won’t solve all of these things, but I’ll take (or get rid of) whatever I can!

MAYBE THIS GUY SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!
(At least he’s got his thinking cap on…which is more than the other lame-brains in Washington do!

 

House committee schedules contempt vote against Holder

Oh LORD! Don’t be teasing me like this!

By Sharyl Attkisson   June 11, 2012 3:00 AM http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57450110-503544/house-committee-schedules-contempt-vote-against-holder/?tag=cbsnewsMainColumnArea

(CBS News) CBS News has learned the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It’s the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

This time, the dispute stems from Holder failing to turn over documents subpoenaed on October 12, 2011 in the Fast and Furious “gunwalking” investigation.

Issa: 31 Democrats Will Vote To Condemn Holder

Republican compares Fast and Furious scandal to Iran Contra, Watergate. Republicans seek a contempt vote.

Oh Happy Day….Oh Happy Da-ay…

Zeke Miller BuzzFeed Staff posted Jun 11, 2012 11:01am EDT http://www.buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/issa-i-expect-31-democrats-will-be-with-us-on-hol

House Committee and Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa told BuzzFeed today that he expects 31 Democrats will join Congressional Republicans in finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to a botched gun-running investigation.

Issa, who has risen to national prominence as the point of the Republican spear in investigating alleged Obama administration wrongdoing, called for a committee vote on contempt next week in advance of a full House vote on Holder’s conduct in the so-called “Fast and Furious” operation, in which a federal agent was allegedly killed with a gun the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms allowed to be trafficked.

“The real question is, we’re opening up the data that we have to all the members, so as they start reading specifics of what we know was known and was hidden from Congress, and what we’d like to know and been denied, how many of the Democrats will vote with us,” Issa said after speaking at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York. “I expect we’ll have about 31 Democrats with us.”

Holder needs to be charged w/ contempt of intelligence and intelligent people too, as well as the illegal sex act of PDAs with Obama’s backside on a regular & prolonged basis.

SCRAM IMPISH! Wait for Saturday! 

Damned insecure Dragon!

Luxury car theft suspect claims history was on his side

The way he saw it, writing hot checks to buy five luxury cars from CarMax was legal because the United States went off the gold standard in 1933, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Department.

The Federal Reserve Bank, however, didn’t buy Carroll Joubert Jr.’s story, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland, a spokesman at the sheriff’s office.

Carroll Joubert Jr. (Harris County SO)

Joubert, 47, was being held Monday at the Harris County Jail under a $150,000 bond, charged with the thefts of five high-end vehicles totaling $297,000, court records show.

He is accused of forging five checks on the Federal Reserve Bank of Georgia to purchase a 2011 Cadillac Escalade, a 2009 Lexus, a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette, a 2008 Land Rover and a 2011 BMW, Gilliland said.

“He believes he can just write checks off the Federal Reserve because all Americans have the right to do that,” Gilliland said, adding that Joubert used the routing and account numbers of the Federal Reserve Bank of Georgia.

On June 5, 1933, the United States went off the gold standard, a monetary system in which currency is backed by gold, when Congress enacted a joint resolution nullifying the right of creditors to demand payment in gold, according to history.com.

“The United States had been on a gold standard since 1879, except for an embargo on gold exports during World War I, but bank failures during the Great Depression of the 1930s frightened the public into hoarding gold, making the policy untenable,” the website states.

Armed with a warrant, investigators with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Unit and the United States Secret Service arrested Joubert on June 1. The agencies are joint members of the Houston Area Fraud Task Force.

CarMax officials called authorities on May 4 when they became suspicious of the checks, which eventually cleared the bank, Gilliland said.

Investigators had the dealership delay the first two purchases. Despite the delay, Joubert wrote three more checks, he said.

“The guy really thought he was getting away with it,” Gilliland said.

History of stupidity and getting caught maybe was on his side!

IF the political reality of the next four years as discussed above didn’t make you wet or fill your pants and/or failed to give you palpitations or an outright heart attack this Parting Shot should finish the job no sweat and leave you with the Night Terrors besides as a parting gift.

Those of you who have been around for any length of time know I have a MAJOR burr under my saddle for not ONLY the interference of the Democratically controlled Education system and Child Welfare systems in the rearing of our children but for their blatant outright attempts at brain washing our children into being good little Democrat Podlings under the guise of “educating and enlightening” them. They attempt to teach our children that ANY thought contrary to what the teacher is espousing in wrong and often punish our children for thinking for themselves or refusing to go along with the brainwashing. Case in point:

NC Teacher Screams at Student: It’s Criminal to Criticize Obama

The teacher yells — literally yells — that Obama is “due the respect that every other president is due … Listen,” she continues, “let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” She yells over the student repeatedly, and yells at him that it’s disrespect for him to even debate about Romney and Obama.

The student says that he can say what he wants.

“Not about him, you won’t,” says the teacher.

The teacher then tells the student – wrongly – that it is a criminal offense to say bad things about a president. “Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush? Do you realize you are not supposed to slander the president?”

The student says that it would violate First Amendment rights to jail someone for such sentiments. “You would have to say some pretty f’d up crap about him to be arrested,” says the student. “They cannot take away your right to have your opinion … They can’t take that away unless you threaten the president.”

Clearly, the student should be teaching the class, and the teacher should be reading the Constitution more often.

The school district classified the exchange – which is obviously just another case of a pro-Obama teacher shoveling her views down students’ throats – a “learning experience.” It isn’t. It’s political intimidation, and it’s just another example of how the American public school system has become an indoctrination tool for the left. This teacher should be suspended or fired forthwith, if only for incompetence.

 

It was a moment in a North Carolina classroom that was caught on tape recently that is making national headlines, after a teacher was recorded yelling at a student in her social studies class for criticizing President Obama, even telling him that he could get arrested. The clip features a conversation in which teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely tells students that it is a criminal offense to criticize Barack Obama and that they could be “arrested” for doing so.

It all began when the topic of the day was a discussion regarding GOP contender Mitt Romney being a bully in high school. A student responds by pointing out that Obama admits in his own book, Dreams from My Father, that he also bullied a girl when he was in school.

The teacher responded by saying that she didn’t know of any such comment … and that’s when the shouting began.
In the audio, you can hear the teacher in question yelling at the boy, saying, “That’s disrespect!” The student then responds, “You’re disrespecting Romney!” That, of course, prompts another response from the teacher, who says, “How’s that disrespect? He’s not the president! You will not disrespect the President of the United States in this classroom!”

Student Who Recorded Teacher Yelling At Him For Criticizing Obama Speaks Out

According to Breitbart News, “The student had asked his friend to record the discussion to “prove to his parents what he has been trying to tell them for some time. The teacher in this video has a long history of pushing a liberal agenda, by shouting down students. She is very intolerant of other points of view that she does not share. The atmosphere at this school is not very conducive to opposing views.”

 

Teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely is now suspended with pay after audio was found of her yelling at a student for criticizing President Obama. It all began in the classroom when the topic of the day was a discussion regarding GOP contender Mitt Romney being a bully in high school. When the student challenged the teacher, the audio reveals she began yelling at him.

The school reacted to the controversy by claiming it represented “a learning experience,” and failed to indicate whether it would take any action against Dixon-Neely for her blatantly misleading and downright dangerous teaching.

[Yeah I’ll just bet he learned a LOT about what happens when you disagree with a Democrat and attempt to exercise YOUR free speech right by expressing YOUR views in front of them during this particular experience- L.L.]

There are numerous examples where children are being made to chant songs worshipping Obama in schools, perform military-style parades in his honor, or watch propaganda videos about celebrities affirming their allegiance to him.

In September 2009, the White House announced it would stream an Obama speech directly into government schools. The speech was accompanied by lesson plans issued by the Department of Education which instructed teachers to ask children “Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials.”

This was merely a continuation of the cult of personality that has been built up around Obama with the aid of the education system.

This creepy cult-like video showing celebrities pledging their “service” to the Obama government’s global warming agenda was shown in Utah schools.

 

This now infamous “Obama Youth” video shows students at a middle school in Missouri performing a military style drill while chanting slogans about Obama’s policies.

 

A middle school teacher in Missouri was suspended Monday for putting a video on YouTube of his students chanting lines from Barack Obama speeches and wearing military fatigues.

The Junior Fraternity students studied Obama’s economic plan with the teacher, and the superintendent did not know whether the teacher or the students scripted the routine. The group should have also studied John McCain’s economic plan, the superintendent said.

In the video, eighth- and ninth-graders wearing military camouflage pants and navy t-shirts chant and perform a routine in the style of a step show, a dance popular among African-American fraternities at universities.

The students enter the room chanting “Alpha. Omega. Alpha. Omega.” Then, one at a time, they state things they were “inspired” to do by Barack Obama, including becoming an architect and a sheriff. At the end of the video, the students make statements about Obama’s healthcare plan. “Obama’s healthcare plan will be able to provide participants the ability to move from job to job without taking their healthcare coverage,” one says

Joyce McGautha, superintendent of the Urban Community Leadership Academy, a charter school for students in fifth through ninth grades in Kansas City, Mo., said She would not disclose the teacher’s name. “At this time because of the legal action that we’ll probably have to take against the teacher, I’m not going to give his name. As far as [the teacher is] concerned, I think he’ll gets what was supposed to come to him. But I don’t think the children should be the victims of his stupidity.”

[Appears to me they already ARE victims of his stupidity- and his Democratic Pro-Socialist brain washing to boot.- L.L.]

Children at Sand Hill Elementary School in Asheville, NC recite Obama campaign slogans.

[Again with No. Carolina! Someone better adjust that Red State/Blue State map because No. Carolina isn’t so Red anymore apparently!]

 

A creepy video of young children in Illinois singing a Maoist-style homage to Obama’s government, chanting “Yes We Can.” A shockingly accurate comparison with the Hitler Youth is made at the end of the clip.

[I have to say I’m not at all fond of the “Nazi/Hitler/Storm Trooper/Gestapo Card’ both because its over used and generally the resort of those incapable of arguing their case on its merits, much like the race card (or Obama supporters, but I repeat myself don’t I?) however when the card truly fits you just have to call a spade a spade and in this case….]

The following video is approx 4 minutes. In the first 3:30 it shows kids being propagandized by Barack Hussein Obama’s supporters. The last 30 seconds shows the ‘Hitler youth’ being propagandized the same exact way. Note how both have the overbearing display of flags,posters,etc. Glassy eyed children blindly reciting what their elders told them to.

 

[Got any warm sensations in your pants yet? That Pacemaker starting to feel like a low voltage Tazer as yet? Too bad! I ain’t through scaring the bejayus out of you at what is happening right under your noses just yet]

Shocking video of a teacher forcing children to worship Obama. The kids look largely disinterested.

in 2000-2008 when Bush read to school kids the liberals said. ”ITS BRAINWASHING IMPEACH HIM RAAAAA!!!!!!!” and now the liberals says when kids have to sing about the greatness of Obama they say. ‘Oh don’t worry they are just singing, it’s a learning opportunity!”

Translation: HEY! Can’t you see we’re busy brainwashing your kid here? Butt out of  our business. You elected us that’s all you need to know about what goes on in your local school since we don’t think you are capable of raising your children correctly, which is to say specifically in the proscribed liberal manner!

Readers I semi-sort of apologize for scaring the crap out of you twice in an issue but reality and the truth are often not pleasant and are scary. IF we judge by the votes for the issues and the comments left (or more precisely the LACK of both) most of you are still ambivalent and disinterested in this serious subject. The first scare ( Supreme Court Justice Holder) is a prediction of Orwellian proportion but none the less a real possibility. The second one is currently happening right under everyone’s noses! We don’t have the luxury of time we need to act on this now.

Getting back to the source of this Parting Shot, “Teacher” ( it’s in quotes because I am using it on the broadest loosest sense of the word possible- the adult(?) at the head of a class of kids) Tanya Dixon-Neely and her actions I have a few remarks that I originally intended to  close with before I wound all those other examples of the chronic levels of Democratic brainwashing and perversion of our children’s values.

The teacher’s “Fact of the Day” was apparently that Romney is a bully.  clearly the teacher’s mind was already made up and any ‘discussion’ was going to be fruitless until she made all the students think like her.

When this kid starts questioning if Obama also bullied a little girl in school (by his own admission), the teacher flips out, and insists that she will not permit “disrespecting” of the President. That of course (liberal logic) doesn’t apply to Romney, though, you see, because he’s not the president yet as all of only Romney’s background is relevant while most of Obama’s is held as irrelevant and/or sealed away.

Let’s give this brain surgeon higher pay. God knows she could be making millions working for A.C.O.R.N. as a community organizer.  Achievements? Getting absolutely pwn3d and FUBARed in basic logic and facts by a frickin’ fifteen year old and taped doing it.  Qualifications? Expert in the Intimidation of Those of Non Democratic Points of View, specializing in teenagers. and zealous worship of Comrade Obama the Liberal Messiah.

This teacher has been suspended with pay. Suspended WITH PAY is such a crime. This rabid liberal attacked a student for raising a question and she gets rewarded with a paid vacation… unfreaking believable! Where do they find these ‘teachers’? HOW do the pass the certification tests? Why do I suspect ‘Affirmative Action’ reared its ugly head with regards to Dixon-Neely’s position somehow?  The kid was more mature about the situation than her!!! Shame on Dixon-Neely for losing control of herself. I don’t know which is worse – the Ebonics crap speech, her racism or her communism.  She needs to be terminated A.S.A.P.!   She cannot teach anyone anything– maybe the smallest children potty training. But teenagers it is readily apparent already know far, far more than she does; she can only teach then Retarded Liberal Thinking.

North Carolina supposed to be a Red State, this just goes to show you how Blue our Education System really is that she got suspended WITH pay and the School system refused to admit she did anything wrong until this got on the national news and they started squirming under the bright lights. Their position before that? Oh it was a “learning experience”. Sound familiar? Every time some one says HEY! HANG ON!  WTF IS GOING ON HERE?! I DON’T THINK THIS IS RIGHT! They automatically reply “Learning experience!” and then they’ll cite School Board policy not to talk about employees, students or on going investigations, preferably 2 of those in back to back sentences and then go hide until they think the incident has blown over.

This is our education system. It is run by Democrats who push around Republican &/or Centrist raised children because of their position of authority. You’re expecting your child to come out and learn critical thinking from this woman? There’s nothing being taught here but intimidation.  She’s making the point apparently in the front of the entire classroom and when he continues, she walks right up to him screaming:  “You will not disrespect the President of the United States.”  So now you have the intimidation factor… you WILL do as we say or we will persecute you. You only  have the right to free independent thought & speech when it agrees with what we say and tell you to think. Thank God for this kid. It’s not about the left or the right, it’s about standing up and admitting that we currently have the worst president in history. Give this kid credit: He does not fold under threat by an alleged authority figure he stands up for the facts, his opinion and his rights in the fact of intimidation and misuse of power by an authority figure. That is what should be being taught though its obvious this is not something he learned in that class and likely not in that school either.

This woman is the kind of person who only voted for Obama because he’s black. Trust me when I say there were a lot of people who voted for him only for that reason. The fact that she is capable of still being an Obama supporter to this day is enough grounds for dismissal.

 

and a Democratically ‘Educated’ and Brainwashed Kid too!

Good Morning Campers!  Today’s Dragon Laffs is being brought to you from my back yard!  Why am I not in my usual easy chair, lap top rakishly across my more than ample lap?  Because today is National Get Outdoors Day!  Everyone knows that our kids spend way too much time indoors thanks to all the new digital entertainment and toys at hand.  It’s easy for all of us to spend too much time inside.
Thankfully, the outdoors is just as great <slap at a mosquito> as it’s always <crush an ant trying to get to my donut> been.  In order to encourage <swat at a bee heading for my coffee> healthy, active behavior in kids and families, the USDA Forest Service and the American Recreation Coalition created National Get Outdoors Day.  <crush two more ants after my donut.  Looks like they are gathering more support>  June 9th (which just so happens to be today) is the fifth annual <ants are now plotting with the bees for a two-pronged attack on my breakfast> National G.O. Day, and the official website is full of ways to celebrate. <I wonder if it’s full of ways to protect yourself from the creatures who call the Outdoors home? Ouch!  Just got stung! Little bastard!  Get over…> You’ll find all the National Parks with G.O. Day festivities, <aha!  Bug spray ought to do the trick> as well as links to <Damn!  My eyes!  My eyes!> tons of outdoor information.
I whole heartedly encourage <Oh bullshit!  I’m going back inside where it’s safe!> you to get outside with your family this summer. <slamming of the back door>

Okay, let’s get on with the laughter, shall we?

This one goes really well with last weeks Last Word…

Here is a small gathering of Irish Jokes, sent in by our dear camper K² (Yes, I did just throw him under the bus, you don’t think that I’m gonna be run over alone if I can avoid it, do you?) although he does throw a nice little disclaimer right in the front…

AH, THE IRISH!!!

Paddy says to Mick,  “Christmas is on a Friday this year”… Mick says “Let’s hope it’s not the 13th.”

Paddy & Mick find three grenades, so they take them to a police station. Mick: “What if one explodes before we get there?”Paddy: “We’ll lie and say we only found two.”Paddy’s in the bathroom and Murphy shouts to him.  “Did you find the shampoo?”  Paddy says, “yes but it’s for dry hair and I’ve just wet mine.”

 

Paddy goes to the vet with his goldfish. “I think it’s got epilepsy” he tells the vet.
Vet takes a look and says “It seems calm enough to me”. Paddy says, “I haven’t taken it out of the bowl yet”.Paddy spies a letter lying on his doormat. It says on the envelope “DO NOT BEND “.
Paddy spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick the bloody thing up.

Paddy shouts frantically into the phone “My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!”
“Is this her first child?” asks the Doctor.

“No”, shouts Paddy, “this is her husband!” 

Paddy was driving home, drunk as a skunk, suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another.
A cop car pulls him over as he veers about all over the road. Paddy tells the cop about all the trees in the road.
Cop says “For gods sake Paddy, that’s your air freshener swinging about!”An old Irish farmer’s dog goes missing and he’s inconsolable. His wife says “Why don’t you put an advert in the paper?”
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. “What did you put in the paper?” his wife asks. “Here boy” he replies.

 

Paddy’s in jail. Guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet. “What the hell you doing?” he asks. “Hanging myself” Paddy replies.

“It should be around your neck” says the Guard. 

“I know” says Paddy “but I couldn’t  breathe.“An answer I can understand. An American tourist asks an Irishman:  “Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?”
To which the Irishman replies: “If they fell forwards, they’d still be in the bloody boat.”

Joe says to Paddy: “Close your curtains the next time you’re kissing your wife.  The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday.”  Paddy says: “Well the joke’s on them stupid lotbecause I wasn’t even at home yesterday.” 

Paddy says to Mick – I’m ready for a holiday, only this year I’m going to do it a bit different. 3 years ago I went to Spain and Mary got pregnant. 2 years ago I went to Italy and Mary got pregnant. Last year I went to Majorca and Mary got pregnant.  Mick asks – So what are you going to do this year?  Paddy replies, –  I’ll take her with me!

Look out for that bloody bus!!!

Wine taster…At a wine merchant’s, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire. A drunken Impish Dragon with a ragged, dirty look came in to apply for the position. The director of the winery wondered how to send the dragon away without having the whole place burned to the ground. So, taking a chance, he gave the blotto dragon a glass to drink. Our intoxicated hero tried it and said, “It’s a Muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers.  It’s low grade, but definitely acceptable.

 

 

How many times have we heard complaints from people about TSA checking ridiculous people in lines at airports.  What do I mean by ridiculous?  Like babies, nuns, and little old ladies.  What possible harm could a little old lady do?  Say, some little old lady in her 90s…

Well…

How about this little old lady?

Here you have a 94-year-old Mexican national, just simply on her way to visit her friends and relatives across the International border in Arizona.  She might be passing through the port of entry at Nogales, Arizona, several days per week!

What the heck, grandma? You’re 94 years old!
Oh, come on!  What could this poor little Mexican Grandma do?
Well butter my biscuit and call me Barney, What’s all that padded stuff affixed to her body beneath her dress?  Holy cow, could that be some sort of “contraband”?

Why, it’s almost 10 ½ pounds of marijuana, strapped to her spindly old body!  Grandma!  How could you?!

Aww, come on…Can we blame her?  After all, she’s probably just supplementing her U.S. Social Security check that she picks up monthly at her Post Office Box on the American side of the border.
You know, this may be a rare case, but it is happening!

And we can’t help but wonder how many of these trips grandma has already made across the border…toting 10 lbs of marijuana each time?
Yeah, and you know what?  Don’t expect to have the media tell you about this one…they’re too busy backing the democrats plans to increase their voter base by giving all these illegals free passes to the breakfast buffet in return for their ballots in November.

If this shit doesn’t piss you off, are you even awake?

“I think this whole idea of “burping” your Tupperware is silly.  Personally, I’m waiting for Tupperware I can fart.” ~ Lethal Leprechaun, 5 Jun 2012.

Wednesday was the 68th Anniversary of D-Day, the start of the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II.  The Leprechaun and I discussed how we should address this and he brought up a very good point, that you can pretty much pick out any day of any week and have it be a significant day in history for some reason or another. 

The easiest way to show the veracity of this statement is to go to Wikipedia and type in a month and a day (example: June 09) and you will get several dozens of things that happened in history on that date… (45 Events and more than twice that many birthdays for today’s date, 9 June.  From 53 BC Roman Emperor Nero Marries Claudia Octavia, 9 years later in 62 BC, Claudia Octavia is executed and six years after that in 68 BC, Nero commits suicide.  All the way to 1944: World War II 99 civilians are hung from lampposts and balconies by German troops in Tulle, France in reprisal for maquisards attacks, ending with 2008 in the town of Lake Delton, Wisconsin, Lake Delton drains as a result of heavy flooding breaking the dam holding the lake back.) 

We all know that some events are more significant than others, such as the debut of Underdog (October 3, 1964) to the first detonation of an atomic weapon (codenamed Trinity on July 16, 1945) to…well…you get the picture. 

Each of us would consider certain events more or less significant than just about every other person on the face of the earth.  The reason we, at Dragon and Leprechaun Laffs Electronic Media, LLP (DLLEM: could be pronounced delirium) chose to remember certain days and not others is our own personal choice (or our own lousy memories in the case of things being left out). 

This date in history…the beginning of the Allied Invasion of Europe during WWII… is when the worm turned and the good guys finally started kicking some ass.  So, cheer for the good guys, remember the fallen, and press on with pride and perhaps, you too will do something that future generations will look back on and say, “Hey, did you know that today is the 207th anniversary of the day that Impish Dragon blathered on about nothing?”  Now there’s an anniversary that can be celebrated on just about any day of the year.

Okay, I gotta put this in here…as someone who plays with this stuff for a living, I have to say that the description is actually quite good.
Let’s see…

Japanese nuclear agency apologizes after comparing radiation to angry wife

Okay, so how about a few charts to help us make up our minds (for those of you who still have minds left to make up)

(Okay, so that didn’t really come out the way I intended…how about for those of you who still haven’t minds that are made…um…up…um… no, that’s not right either…)

Okay, so if you still  haven’t made up your mind on who to vote for this November, how about a couple of charts to see things the way they are…
(That was not really better)
Pretty self explanatory…run-away unemployment

Okay, a teeny bit harder to interpret, but still not that hard.  How serious are we in losing dependence on foreign oil???  Hmm, by that last one, I’d say not very!

Well, for those anti-Obamaites out there, I’d say to really prove your point you should’ve shown more than just the last 4 years.  Sure, he’s increased the National Debt to astronomical levels, but the guys that came before him did it too.  Maybe not to his level, but this chart doesn’t show that…useless visual aid.

Okay, now this one works a bit better as a detriment for the Obama administration.  But…an awful lot of these problems have been going on since before his reign.  My biggest gripe is that he hasn’t done anything to move any of these trends in the opposite direction, just made them all worse, and on a much grander scale than most anyone else.

This is  just out of control.  Remember the last slide?  The one that says that 47% of Americans are receiving some sort of support check monthly?  Okay, by reading that, I would almost say that that number includes military retirements (but maybe not) even so, are you telling me that basically one out of every two Americans is being supported in some way?  I’m working my ass off so someone (one individual) doesn’t have to?  Pick someone out of the crowd…if you are working for a living, that could be the guy whom you alone are supporting.  I feel like I should get his social security number so that I can at least take him off on my taxes.  Unbelievable. 

This one doesn’t need any explanation except to say that it pisses me off!!!

This just shows what a fucking idiot he is.  I believe they call that cronyism …

so sad…2007 to 2008 were our best years. (under democratic congress) but then they dropped the ball big-time!

These are all starting to make me sick.  I guess it really is that hard to get good people to do these jobs. 

We’ve finally reached the end.  And this….well, this is just wrong.  I should keep my money, not be forced to give half of it away to other people.  I feel like I should call the cops for being robbed.  Geez, what a friggin’ mess they’ve gotten us in!

And I suppose all these charts and graphs and the expressing of my (God given) right of free speech has made me one of these:

 

 

okay, so I know that I’ve heard this one before, but it is funny and this rendition is especially well written.  And it’s relatively clean.

FIRST TIME SEX

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night to meet, and have a dinner with her parents.

Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.

The boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. He tells the  pharmacist it’s his first time and the pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.

At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he’d like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl’s parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door.

“Oh, I’m so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!”

The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl’s parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down.

10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.

Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, ‘I had no idea you were this religious.’

The boy turns, and whispers back, ‘I had no idea your father was a pharmacist.’

Now that is one cool rug!

THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM
ONE OF THE BEST THEORIES OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION

–>>From a teacher in the Nashville area – –

“We are worried about ‘the cow’ when it is all about the ‘Ice Cream. ‘The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching 3rd grade. The last Presidential election was heating up and some of thechildren showed an interest.  I decided we would have an election for a classpresident. We would chooseour nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. Wediscussed what kinds of characteristics thesestudents should have. We got many nominations and from those,Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.

I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.

I had never seen Olivia’s mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.

Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.
He ended by promising to do his very best.

Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now is was Olivia’s turn to speak.

Her speech was concise. She said, “If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream.” She sat down.

The class went wild. “Yes! Yes! We want ice cream.”

She surely would say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn’t sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it…She didn’t know.

The class really didn’t care. All they were thinking about was ice cream…

Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 51.4 % of the people reacted like nine year olds.

They want ice cream.

The other 48.6% percent know they’re going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.”


Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.
Did you vote for the ice cream?

THAT, MY FRIEND, IS HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED,BY THOSE WHO WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE!

This one goes right along with our earlier Wal-Mart one…

A few days ago one of my Marine buddies sent me a ‘Viet Nam Veteran’ cap. I never had one of these before, and I was pretty hyped about it, especially since someone was considerate enough to take the time to give it to me.
Yesterday, I wore it when I went to Wal-Mart.  There was nothing in particular that I needed at the world’s largest retailer; but, since I retired, trips to Wally World to look at the Wal-martians is always good for some comic relief.  Besides, I always feel pretty normal after seeing some of the people that frequent the establishment.  But, I digress…enough of my psychological fixations.
While standing in line to check out, the guy in front of me, probably in his early thirties, asked, “Are you a Viet Nam Vet?”
“No,” I replied.
“Then why are you wearing that cap?”
“Because I couldn’t find the one from the War of 1812.”  I thought it was a snappy retort.
“The War of 1812, huh?” the Wal-martian queried, “When was that?”
God forgive me, but I couldn’t pass up such an opportunity.
“1936,” I answered as straight-faced as possible.
He pondered my response for a moment and responded, “Why do they call it the War of 1812 if it was in 1936?”
“It was a Black Op.  No one is supposed to know about it.”
This was beginning to be way fun!
“Dude!  Really?” he exclaimed.  “How did you get to do something that COOOOL?”
I glanced furtively around me for effect, leaned toward the guy and in a low voice said, “I’m not sure. I was the only Caucasian on the mission.”
“Dude,” he was really getting excited about what he was hearing, “that is seriously awesome!  But, didn’t you kind of stand out?”
“Not really.  The other guys were wearing white camouflage.”
The moron nodded knowingly.
“Listen man,” I said in a very serious tone, “You can’t tell anyone about this.  It’s still ‘top secret’ and I shouldn’t have said anything.”
“Oh yeah?” he gave me the ‘don’t threaten me look.’
“Like, what’s gonna happen if I do?”
With a really hard look I said, “You have a family don’t you?   We wouldn’t want anything to happen to them, would we?”
The guy gulped, left his basket where it was and fled through the door.  By this time the lady behind me was about to have a heart attack she was laughing so hard.   I just grinned at her.
After checking out and going to the parking lot I saw Dimwit leaning in a car window talking to a young woman.  Upon catching sight of me he started pointing excitedly in my direction.  Giving him another ‘deadly’ serious look, I made the ‘I see you’ gesture.  He turned kind of pale, jumped in the car and sped out of the parking lot.
What a great time!
Tomorrow I’m going back with a Homeland Security cap.
Whoever said retirement is boring just needs the right kind of cap!

 

Okay, so this one really, I mean REALLY chaps my ass!  Read on dear campers, read on…

This originally comes to us from our dear friend K² both LL and I tried to find information to support it and to refute it.  Not much is out there right now.  I almost hopes it turns out to be false, but nothing I’ve found so far refutes it.

A friend from Colorado sent this to me.

Hi All,

I just wanted to pass on a little info in case some of you were not aware of this. Yesterday was the Air force Academy graduation ceremony. My friend from Texas had just arrived and we drove down the road to watch the Thunderbirds fly over after the ceremony was finished. Most of you know Pres. Obama spoke at the ceremony and handed out the diploma’s. When this finished it was time for the Thunderbirds to fly-over. There was one fly-over then they disappeared. A man standing by me called a friend at Peterson Field and found out that the fly-over was halted because Obama wanted to leave. A helicopter soon appeared and flew around in a circular pattern above where we were – basically doing reconnesance as Obama’s motor-cade was exiting the Air Force Academy. He was going to Denver to do some more campaigning since Colorado is a swing state. After he left the Thunderbirds came back and continued the show for the graduates. Think about this. Obama comes to a graduation, speaks etc. then decides to leave before the Thunderbirds can complete their fly-over. They had to fly around, & waste fuel. Thousands of people – the graduating cadets, parents, friends, observers in the vicinity parked in lots waiting to see them fly, inconvenienced, so Obama – his “highness’ could leave to go campaign in Denver! How disrespectful of EVERYONE in attendance. It would have taken only about 20-30 minutes more time to stay until the fly-over was finished thereby honoring the graduates, Thunderbirds and the military in general. However, this narcissistic disgrace of a ‘Commander -in-Chief” had to inconvenience everyone and leave interrupting the ceremony fly-over because everything is about him. I was disgusted by this and so was everyone else standing around near us. I hope this info gets passed on so others can learn how disrespectful this Pres. is toward the military. Not too many who witnessed this will be voting for him.

Okay, let’s think about this … it does sound like something he would do, since he did something very similar here when he went to Kokomo.  Making thousands of people wait for hours so he doesn’t have to wait 20 minutes is beyond the pale.  This is reason enough to vote for someone who has a bit more courtesy and a lot less arrogance.

But first, a Legal Disclaimer from our legal advisors the Esteemed Law Firm of Dewy, Cheatum & Howe

Fair Warning Has Been Given- as to the Contents of Today’s Issue, so you Liberals & Obama Lovers QUITCHERBITCHIN!

I’m behind again after being sick 2 days last week and suffering a migraine most of Sunday. On top of all that the Bank of America Fraud Department greeted us Monday morning with the news we had taken a $1600 hit to our account. Seems as though something Molly might have done (she manages the household finances) allowed someone to make a huge unauthorized automatic payment for themselves. We still don’t have all the facts yet but should see the money back in our account in a day or so thankfully.

While is never good to have that kind of funds stolen from you the first and 15th of month are probably the worst possible times for that to happen so while I was already neck deep in  alligators  some one has thoughtfully just thrown a bucket of piranha in the pond too! So you’ll have to excuse me if I cut this short while I tend to getting everything straightened around and all the offended first of the month creditors the proof of theft from the Bank they are requiring to work with us.

Sigh! I can get ahead but I can never seem to stay ahead!

 

Handicapped parking

Today I had to run to Kroger  – our local food store.

As I approached the entrance, I noticed a driver looking for a parking space.

I flagged the driver and pointed out a parking space in the handicap area.

The driver looked puzzled. ”I’m not handicapped” she said.

Well, was my face ever red. ”Oh, sorry about that, I saw your Obama sticker and just presumed…”

She gave me the finger and called me some nasty names.

Sheesh! Some people…

 

 

A couple weeks ago now there was a lot of fuss made about Facebook’s IPO, the amount of money it made, how fantastically wealthy it has made Zuccerberg etc. But exactly how much of this hype was by devoted Facebookers themselves?

A recent poll by First Media asked the following:

If Facebook began charging a monthly fee for their users, what is the most you would be willing to pay per month in order to continue using the site?

The responses I found quite interesting!

50% I am not a Facebook user
50% Zero (I would terminate my account)
0% $1 or less
0% $2 or less
0% $5 or less
0% $10 or less
0% $20 or less
0% I would pay more than $20 if I had to

You know it pains me to say it, (or it WILL after Molly sees this comment) but Impish just MIGHT be on to something there!

 

HOLY FECKING CRAP AM I PISSED! Who the hell set the controls on the ‘way back machine’ for the Viet Nam War Era? Haven’t those hippies with enough brain cells remain to remember the late 60’s learned this kind of behavior is wrong and will not be tolerated yet?

Anti-War Activist Refuses To Rent Apartment To Iraq-Afghanistan Vet

CBS Boston June 4, 2012 11:59 PM http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/06/04/report-mass-veteran-sues-anti-war-apartment-owner-alleges-discrimination/

BOSTON (CBS) – A Massachusetts veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has filed a civil rights lawsuit against an anti-war activist who declined to rent him an apartment.

Sgt. Joel Morgan, 29, tried to rent a two-bedroom apartment in the Savin Hill section of Dorchester from 63-year-old Janice Roberts.

“I’ve been deployed so many times, I really haven’t had much of a home,” he told WBZ-TV.

Sgt. Joel Morgan

Morgan didn’t get the apartment.

According to the lawsuit, Roberts told Morgan his war service and her peace activism presented a “conflict of interest.”

“Because of what you told me about the Iraq war… we are very adamant about our beliefs… it’s just not comfortable for us… and I’m sure now that you know this, it would not be comfortable for you,” Roberts said in a voicemail to Morgan.

“I would suggest you do the right thing and look for a place less politically active or controversial.”

The divorced father has a young son and is training to be a Boston firefighter so he needs to live in town.

He was shocked and confused and that led him to sue.

“I’ve never been in that situation (being turned down for an apartment),  so it was like, ‘I don’t understand what you mean, I just want to give you a check and rent an apartment,” Morgan told WBZ-TV.

“(It) just really, really disgusted me,” he said.

“It really freaked me out that ‘Is this what I’m going to be facing?  Should I not let people know that I’m a combat vet?’”

WBZ was not able to reach Roberts for comment.

Military service members and veterans are part of a protected class in Massachusetts and, therefore, they cannot be discriminated against.

Morgan has since found another apartment to rent.

If any reader lives in Massachusetts and can obtain the address & phone number for Janice Roberts of Dorchester and sends it to me I will post it so that she can be dragged by the heels out of Liberal Lunacy Land kicking and screaming into the land of sanity and acceptable behavior.

This isn’t a “free speech” issue which is undoubtedly the typical liberal offal they will try to hide behind, this is a DISCRIMINATION issue, to say nothing of a disrespect issue and like a dog who does its business on your carpet she needs her face rubbed in what she did so she learns it is unacceptable THEN she needs to be severely beaten with a hard bound copy of the Real Estate rental laws for  Massachusetts for making a Veteran ashamed of being a soldier.

Doug Larson: “If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.”

Instead we have veteran disrespecting Viet Nam Era throwback hippy wannabe liberal lemmings trying their hardest to make our Service Men & Woman ashamed of their patriotic sacrifices and doing their best to interfere with their attempts to get back to leading normal productive lives. I think I’ve got an old fishing pole around here that I can afford to let go of. Maybe we can store it reel lure and all in a certain Massachusetts liberal’s backside until she correctly figures out  what is important in life and make a public apology to Veteran Sgt. Joel Morgan and his son.

The Middle Ages: Then vs. Now

 

“Today’s Quote”

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish & he will never starve.

Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with free monthly minutes, food stamps, section 8 housing, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe and some Air Jordans and he will throw the fishing gear away & vote Democrat for a lifetime.

And probably try to discriminate against and disrespecting returning soldiers too, having avoided military service because it would have voided their free ride!

Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town —Top Ten

1) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.

2) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of the federal workforce is
black. 12% of the population is black.

3) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

4) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town can we have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

5) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town would we make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just become American
citizens.

6) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”

7) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

8) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

9) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.

10) Only in Liberal Loony-tune Town could the rich people who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.

The 122-foot long space shuttle replica, “Explorer,” is set to arrive in Clear Lake after an eight-day trip across the Gulf of Mexico aboard a barge from the Kennedy Space Center.

 

Houston, Home of the Johnson Space Center and Mission Control got screwed royally due to politics in the who gets a Shuttle lottery and was forced to choke down this mock up.

Houston Gets Lame Space Shuttle Replica Delivered In Lamest Way Possible

http://jalopnik.com/5914938/houston-gets-lame-space-shuttle-replica-delivered-in-lamest-way-possible

The deliveries of the real Space Shuttles to their final resting places were grand events that created amazing images. Houston, which deserved a real damn shuttle, is getting a replica.

And just in case Houstonians didn’t know they were getting shortchanged, it was delivered on a plane but instead on a damn barge. Thanks, NASA.

I’m not going to get into all the reasons why Houston didn’t get a Space Shuttle as it might be mistaken as saying someone else doesn’t deserve one. Clearly, both D.C. and Los Angeles have good reasons to get one. NYC doesn’t, and has thus offended me as a Texan and a Houstonian and I will loudly remind them of that fact whenever I get the chance.

Instead of a real shuttle Houston is getting a replica called Explorer that will be fitted with a real-ish interior so kids can go crawling through it. It makes perfect sense to transport the replica from Kennedy in Florida to Houston via the ocean, but it still stings.

The first word on the moon may have been “Houston,” but the last word on Houston’s shuttle copy is sadly “barge.”

HOUSTON GETS FAKE SHUTTLE

“Space City” Get’s Replica While Others Get Real Deal

By NIK RAJKOVIC http://www.ktrh.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=121300&article=10168059

Houston’s space community is hoping to finally put New York Sen. Chuck Schumer behind them with a three-day “shuttlebration” this weekend.

It was Schumer who said last summer, “Let me say to Houston what we say in Brooklyn, fuggedaboutit, they are not getting the shuttle.”

But Space Center Houston this weekend is getting something — the life-sized mock orbiter “Explorer” made of wood and metal.

Still, the center’s Richard Allen says they have big plans for the replica.

“We’ll put a more current cockpit in it, we’ll be building ramp ways up to it so our guests can go inside,” says Allen. “And our goal will be to talk about what Johnson Space Center’s role was with the shuttle as far the planning, the training and flying the missions.”

Former astronaut Jerry Ross still calls it a slap in the face.

“Being one of the two prime centers for the shuttle program I think its very frustrating we didn’t get a vehicle here, but we’ve got to press on and deal with what we’ve been dealt,” says Ross.

Congressman Pete Olson is trying to remain positive about it all, adding one thing you can do with a replica that you cannot with the real thing, is rename it.

“I’ve got a suggestion, its two names,” says the Clear Lake Republican. “Put ‘Columbia’ on the left and ‘Challenger’ on the right, making it a permanent tribute to the 14 neighbors and heroes we lost in space.”

 

[TOO MUCH coffee? HELLS NO! Not ME!]

Weather is warmer, days are longer, summer is neigh upon us and nobody wants to be in the kitchen longer than they have to. Here are a couple recipes that will help with that. Of course the fact they taste pretty good too won’t hurt you none either.

Easy Taco Tamale Pie

Prep: 15 minutes
Bake: 25 minutes

Serves: 4

This cheesy, kicked-up beef and corn casserole is topped with cornbread to make a hearty dish that the whole family will enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 can (16 ounces) whole kernel corn, undrained

1 jar (16 ounces) Pace® Picante Sauce (you pick the heat level)

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)

1 box (about 8 ounces) corn muffin mix

Directions:

Heat the oven to 375°F. Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it’s well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.

Stir the corn with its liquid, picante sauce and cheese in the skillet. Spoon the beef mixture into a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Prepare the corn muffin mix according to the package directions. Using 2 spoons, drop the batter evenly on top of the beef mixture.

Bake for 25 minutes or until the corn muffin topping is golden brown.

I skip the canned corn and use either Ranch/Chili beans (undrained) or a can of Black beans drained and rinsed) & serve it with a salad of traditional taco toppings, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, diced red onion, diced green pepper, diced avocado & sliced black olives. Top that with a little more shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Alternative: skip the tomato and onion and use some fresh pico de gallo

 

Grilled Pork in Pita

Prep: 10 minutes
Grill: 15 minutes

Serves: 6

Something different from the grill… the warm pita pocket bread holds succulent, picante-basted pork topped with a creamy yogurt sauce.  It’s easy to get fired-up about these tasty sandwiches!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Pace® Picante Sauce

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon lime juice

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick (about 1 pound)

6 pita breads (6-inch), warmed

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 medium green onion, sliced (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions:

Stir 3 tablespoons picante sauce, yogurt and lime juice in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir the remaining picante sauce and garlic powder in a small bowl.

Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the pork for 15 minutes or until it’s cooked through, turning and brushing often with the picante sauce mixture. Discard any remaining picante sauce mixture.

Slice the pork into thin strips. Divide the pork among the pita breads. Top with the yogurt mixture, lettuce and green onion. Fold the pitas around the filling.

Recipe Tips:

Helper:  To warm the pita breads, wrap them together in a plain paper towel. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until they’re slightly warm to the touch.

Works well with boneless skinless chicken thighs too! For a thicker sauce use a chunky salsa. Want more zing? Substitute Cilantro leaves for the lettuce garnish.

OK I KNOW some of you are going to cry that 6 hours cooking time is not “fast”. Well prep time and final fixing time are each about 10 minutes and its a crock pot so once its in it’s basically set it and forget it which means plenty of time for other things and very little extra heat in the house from cooking! Any recipe I can spend a total of 20 minutes on and ignore for the cooking portion of things is fast in my book.

Slow-Cooked Taco Shredded Beef

From: Campbell’s Kitchen

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 6 hours
Stand: 10 minutes

Serves: 16

Ground beef is good in tacos, but this fork-tender shredded beef makes good tacos even better. This slow cooker dish is perfect for buffets, tail-gating or casual family dinners.

Ingredients:

1 can (10 1/2 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed French Onion Soup

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 2 pounds)

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

16 taco shells

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)

Shredded lettuce

Sour cream

Directions:

Stir the soup, chili powder and cumin in a 4-quart slow cooker. Add the beef and turn to coat.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.

Remove the beef from the cooker to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred the beef. Return the beef to the cooker. Stir the cilantro in the cooker.

Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into each taco shell. Top each with about 1 tablespoon cheese. Top with the lettuce and the sour cream, if desired.

Where to start? Ok-

First, I use regular corn tortillas for this not taco shells. Same taste, less breakage, less mess, provided you warm them up.

Pita breads work well too. as do split torpedo or potato rolls (consider dipping the rolls in the juices)

Second, I almost didn’t use their name for this and called it “Slow Cooked Beef” because the           variations you can achieve at the end are nearly endless. Tossing in a couple drained cans of sliced mushrooms and some sour cream and give it a stir and 5 minutes and PRESTO beef stroganoff!

Pull the beef  toss a bag of microwave steamed stew veggies, those canned mushrooms, some worcheshire sauce in and a little flour or corn starch & water slurry turn crock on high for 10 min. Mean time cut beef into chunks after the 10 min stir pot add back beef and you got a decent beef stew!

See where I’m going? You don’t have to settle for taco here the possibilities boggle the mind! To make them even more boggling this also works relay well with and holds true of pork in place of beef though likely you’ll will need to use a fat separator on the juices before continuing.

Finally, I personally like to make Beef and Broccoli or Beef and Snow Pea pods out of this and serve or over rice or oriental noodles but I’ll let you guys figure out how I do that one yourselves!

 

Dear friends,
There are less than 7 months until election day when the people will decide who will be the next President of the United States . The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. It’s time that we all need to come together, Democrats and Republicans alike, in a bi-partisan effort for America :

If you will support Mitt Romney, please drive with your headlights ON during the day.

If you support Barack Obama, please drive with your headlights OFF at night.

Together, we can make it happen. Thank you!

OBAMA’S OWN WORDS TRAP HIM:
2008: “Navy Seal Team 6 is Cheney’s private assassination team.”

2011: “I put together Seal Team 6 to take out Bin Laden.”

2008: “Bin Laden is innocent until proven guilty, and must be captured alive and given a fair trial.”

2011: “I authorized Seal Team 6 to kill Bin Laden.”

2008: ” Guantanamo is entirely unnecessary, and the detainees should not be interrogated.”

2011: “Vital intelligence was obtained from Guantanamo detainees that led to our locating Bin Laden.”

Remind the people who vote, time to throw out the trash is nearly here. Those who have had freedom and lost it will never see it again!”

A new stadium arena is being built in Charlotte.
The new Charlotte stadium will feature a retractable roof.
A spokesperson for the project said it will be finished just in time for the Democratic National Convention

How to stop election year insanity

By Lewis Beale, Special to CNN updated 8:08 AM EDT, Wed May 30, 2012

(CNN) — I was watching yet another annoying political ad produced by some super PAC of which I’ve never heard, and all I could think was: “Sheesh, it’s not even June, and I’m already sick of this stuff. With five months to go until the election, I think a steady diet of this junk will drive me into a mental institution.”

Me and about 200 million other Americans.

Let’s face it — the way we elect our presidents is seriously dysfunctional. The seemingly endless campaign season. The hectoring TV ads, the hundreds of millions of dollars poured into the system, the endless polling and pontificating. Contemplating this, all I can do is repeat the immortal words of Charlton Heston in “Planet of the Apes”: “God damn you all to hell!”

But there are ways to make the system better. If, that is, we have the will (and this is highly questionable). I’m no pundit; heck, I’m not even Joe the Plumber (think of me as Lew the Disgusted), but I’d like to offer a few suggestions on how to restore sanity to the process.

1. Make the presidency a six-year, one-term-only gig. That gives anyone elected to the job plenty of time to actually accomplish something, while also guaranteeing that the second half of his or her term won’t be spent running for re-election. What a concept.

2. Start the campaign season after Labor Day. Most industrialized countries run political campaigns that are three months in length or less. Do they know something we don’t? Or should I say, have you ever heard the term “voter exhaustion?”

3. Publicly finance the election. Citizens United, up there with Plessy v. Ferguson (separate but equal) as one of the worst decisions in Supreme Court history, only made a bad system even worse, allowing more millions to pour into an already corrupt process. So give each contender a fixed amount of money, and tell them they can spent it any way they want, but that’s all they’ll have — no private, corporate or PAC contributions at all. Let ’em whine. Who cares?

4. Ban negative ads. Believe it or not, Mexico does this. They have an independent commission deciding when a political ad goes over the line into negativity and falsehood. If they can do it South of the Border, why can’t we?

5. Limit polling. It seems there’s a new poll every microsecond. What do they really tell us? That people’s minds keep changing? Stop the presses on that one! Pass a law saying every news organization and polling organization can only do their thing, say, once a month. Eliminate the clutter.

That’ll do for a start.

But I can hear some of you saying “this is a free country, yadda yadda, people can spend their money any way they want, yaddayadda, there’s such a thing as free speech in a democracy, yadda yadda yadda.” And besides, it’s all settled law, you say; the court has ruled on Citizens United. Well, yes I know this. Things don’t change overnight.

But here’s what else I know: Sometimes liberty becomes license. And that’s what’s happening in America today.

Money has completely corrupted the system and helped create a situation where the U.S., the most powerful country on Earth, has one of the lowest voter turnouts (lower than any country in Western Europe or Latin America, lower than most countries in North America). You think disgust with the process has anything to do with this?

Think about that the next time the Rich Folks For Super PACs super PAC puts another misleading, demeaning and infuriating political ad on the tube.

How about you? What do you think we can do to improve the election process?

I think this pretty much speaks for itself and I’m going to let it. Besides I got more hoops to go jump thru to make creditors happy than Impish has double chins.

Good Morning Campers!  And what a glorious morning it is, too!  It’s a balmy 45°F on this Saturday….wait…
… what? …
It’s only 45 friggin’ degrees outside right now?
Get me Mother Nature on the phone, right now!
…
…
Hi ya Momma N.  How you doin’?
Good, Good, Hey listen, I got a question, here.  Did you know that its only 45 degrees here?
Uh huh…
Yeah…
How  much gold?
He did?
Yeah, okay.  Thanks.
No, no, that’s fine.  Thanks.
Yeah, you too.  We still on for Sunday night Pinochle?  Good.  Talk to you later.

Well, it seems that Lethal Leprechaun put in a bid for a warm spell for him down in Texas and specifically paid extra for Mother Nature to pull the heat from around here to help heat up south Texas.    Ain’t he the greatest buddy ever!  He knows how I like it cold and he arranged special for me to be more comfortable…didn’t he?
He did it for me, right?
Okay, so while I ponder the plausible probability of Lethal Leprechaun Laboring while I Languish in comfort…why don’t you guys go ahead and get started without me?

That’s a very good question Mr. Raptor….sadly, none of ush have a good answer for that.

This seems like an awful lot of work to me

Thought For The Day…

Even after the Super Bowl victory of the New Orleans Saints, I have noticed a large number of people, implying with bad jokes and anecdotes, that Loozianna Cajuns ain’t smart. I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment. Anybody who would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats who can’t swim is a dang genius”.

So, this is one of the most incredible sights I’ve ever seen.  Remember the old nursery rhyme the Owl and the Pussycat?

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
    In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
    Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
    And sang to a small guitar,
‘O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
      What a beautiful Pussy you are,
          You are,
          You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!’

Well, here’s an Owl and a Pussy-Cat you are not going to believe!

WHY:
Why do men’s clothes have buttons on the right while women’s clothes have buttons on the left?

BECAUSE:
When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left. Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid’s right! And that’s where women’s buttons have remained since.

WHY:
Why do ships and aircraft use ‘mayday’ as their call for help?

BECAUSE:
This comes from the French word m’aidez -meaning ‘help me’ — and is pronounced, approximately, ‘mayday.’

WHY
Why are zero scores in tennis called ‘love’?

BECAUSE:
In France , where tennis became popular, the round zero on the scoreboard looked like an egg and was called ‘l’oeuf,’ which is French for ‘the egg.’ When tennis was introduced in the US , Americans (mis)pronounced it ‘love.’

WHY:
Why do X’s at the end of a letter signify kisses?

BECAUSE:
In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write, documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the kiss eventually became synonymous.

WHY:
Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called ‘passing the buck’?

A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing, he would ‘pass the buck’ to the next player.

WHY:
Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?

BECAUSE:
It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host’s glass with his own.


WHY:
Why are people in the public eye said to be ‘in the limelight’?

BECAUSE:
Invented in 1825, limelight was used in lighthouses and theaters by burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the theatre, a performer ‘in the limelight’ was the center of attention.

WHY:
Why is someone who is feeling great ‘on cloud nine’?

BECAUSE
Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain, with nine being the highest cloud. If someone is said to be on cloud nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.

WHY:
In golf, where did the term ‘Caddie’ come from?

BECAUSE:
When Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl, Louis, King of France, learned that she loved the Scots game ‘golf.’ He had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played, Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked this a lot and when returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet is pronounced ‘ca-day’ and the Scots changed it into ‘caddie.’


WHY:
Why are many coin collection jar
banks shaped like pigs?

BECAUSE:
Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense orange clay called ‘pygg’. When people saved coins in jars made of this clay, the jars became known as ‘pygg banks.’ When an English potter misunderstood the word, he made a container that resembled a pig. And it caught on.

Now that’s a good health care program!

Okay, so the nanny state is now down to city level.  This just pisses me off!

The sin-tax sheriff is back on the job.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is proposing another ban on unhealthy foods. This time, he wants to outlaw super-sized sodas and other sugary drinks.

The first-in-the-nation ban, formally announced Thursday, would limit sweet drinks to 16 ounces at venues across the city ranging from restaurants to street carts to movie theaters — that means those extra-large cup holders at Loews are about to get awfully lonely. Since when can a politician tell a citizen what they can and cannot sell?  Is this the most important problem that New York has right now that the mayor doesn’t have anything better to do?  There are no homeless, no drug problem, no unemployment?  Come on, really!!!

The ban, though, doesn’t seem to take into account the obvious work-around. Want more than 16 ounces? Just buy two bottles. There’s no Big Apple ban on doing that — yet.

Bloomberg’s proposal hasn’t quite joined the city’s growing roster of other behavior-curbing laws like its bans on trans-fats and smoking. The Board of Health still needs to sign off on it, but according to MyFoxNY.com that’s likely to happen since the members are Bloomberg appointees.

Bloomberg said Wednesday he “thinks it’s what the public wants the mayor to do.”  I don’t think the public wants the mayor to outlaw giant drinks, I think the public wants the mayor to MIND HIS OWN DAMN BUSINESS!!!!

But residents and businesses are divided on that count.   Yeah, I’ll bet!

A spokesman for the New York City Beverage Association, Stefan Friedman, criticized the proposal as “zealous.” He said officials should seek solutions that are actually going to curb obesity.

The association said in a statement that the ban will not address obesity because “soda is not driving the obesity rates.”

Coca-Cola also released a statement arguing that the company already places calorie counts on the front of its products and that the ban is not needed.

“The people of New York City are much smarter than the New York City Health Department believes,” the statement said. “New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this. They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase.”

One resident voiced support for the plan, telling MyFoxNY.com “sodas are really unhealthy and I don’t see any reason you need to drink 20 ounces of soda.”  and I don’t see any reason for YOU to tell ME what I can and cannot do to my own body!  I’ll bet I can still go to the liquor store and buy gallons of wine, cases of beer and fifths of hard liquor.  Ass hat!

But another noted soda addicts could just come back for refills: “A lot of people drink soda and regardless … they will be buying more, and that’s even worse.”

Conservative activists are meanwhile having a field day with the decision.

Judson Phillips, founder of Tea Party Nation, wrote on his blog Thursday that “there are a whole lot of things New Yorkers would rather King Michael be doing other than telling New Yorkers what they can or cannot drink.” Exactly!

He argued: “It is time to move the Statue of Liberty.” um…huh?

The ban, which could take effect as soon as March, would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks or alcoholic beverages. Nor would it include drinks sold in grocery or convenience stores. Food establishments that don’t downsize would face fines of $200. What about all the studies that show that diet drinks are even worse for us than regular sodas?  And you don’t think that a mongo-sized fruit juice is going to slam your body with frutose?  This is such a stupid, assinine law that I can’t believe that more people aren’t up in arms over it. 

Under the three-term mayor, the city has campaigned aggressively against obesity, including outlawing trans-fats in restaurant food and forcing chain restaurants to post calorie counts on menus.

The Bloomberg administration has tried other ways to make soda consumption less appealing.

The mayor supported a state tax on sodas, but the measure died in Albany, and he tried to restrict the use of food stamps to buy sodas, an idea federal regulars rejected. A sin tax on soda?  Really?  It’s not bad enough that the nannies are over taxing tobacco, alcohol and the like, they are now going after regular soda.  Please tell me that as a country, we haven’t sunk that low. 

It wasn’t bad enough that we forced McDonald’s to change the Happy Meal.  I can see advocating a healthy lifestyle and promoting healthy eating and such, but you can’t legislate free will and choice out of human beings.  God gave us free will for a reason.  Now the government, in its infinite wisdom, seems to think that they are more well informed than God.

My new bumper sticker:

God gave me free will and Mayor Bloomberg took it away.

Be well my friends.
