The "Foodstamp Challenge"!

Gee, how could I have missed the fact that last week was "Food stamp Awareness Week"?

Maybe it was because I was looking at everyone in D.C. tripping over themselves to find a way to reward 12- 20 million criminals?

Any way the challenge was to live on a food stamp budget for one week- I guess.

If they think it's bad now, just wait until El Presidente Boosh signs the bill making them ALL eligible for EVERY governmental program available.

I'm going to break this into two parts, first the Food stamps and then the immigration thing.

As far as Food stamps go, If they have kids they're already getting FREE breakfast and lunch. Sometimes after school feeding, too.
Not to mention all the other Gov't subsidies that I don't even know about...Section 8, WIC, utility assistance, Food banks, Gov't surplus food, caseworkers that know how to game the credit card/financial system...

Need I say more? Of course you're not going to live like a king, you're also not going to be shrivelling away into a bag of bones either.


Going on to the newest pandering-to-the-Mexican bill.
Unless you're a complete mouth breathing imbecile, you KNOW that the illegals won't bother to jump through the hoops to become citizens.
Why should they?
As soon as Bush signs the bill, all they have to do (and the tsunami coming the next week) is show a bill with their name on it and be a legal resident.
Eligible for every government social welfare program in existence- and even more to follow...because they're special, ya know. Gotta keep Mexico happy.

Karen and the girls have their green cards now. We did it the legal way. We jumped through the hoops and paid around $2500- $3000 for them all. We put up with the restrictions, and the documentation Bravo Sierra. It took about three years all together- now she takes the citizenship test, pays the fee and becomes one of our latest citizens....before Nov. '08.
So did every other LEGAL immigrant that wants to call America home.
OH, and we did it while paying income tax AND Social Security, too! How about them apples- LULAC?

There has been the Mexican immigration assistance family unification visa since Ronaldus Magnus made his amnesty mistake back in 1986. There was also supposed to be employer sanctions that never were enforced.

So tell me, aside from making 12- 20 million criminals legal (and breaking the budget in the process), is ANYTHING going to change.....for the better?

No.

If and when this gets signed into law, say goodby to America as a first world country and hello to the graft and corruption of our newest majority.

I'll ad that the Republican Party will most likely cease to exist before the 2008 elections, too.

I guess some people just didn't get the memo

About Global Warming getting to be passe.

Or, maybe because it was in the dead tree edition of 'Science' it was on the way to print when the memo came out.

Anyway I'll let the first two paragraphs speak for the entire arcticle.

WASHINGTON - The ocean, which has absorbed some excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for centuries, may be losing that ability, a new report says.

The buildup of carbon dioxide in the air since the beginning of the industrial revolution has raised concerns that it would trap solar energy and cause a warming of the climate. The oceans are believed to absorb about one-quarter of human-related carbon emissions.

....Just HOW many centuries have we been polluting the earth with the industrial revolution?

Dam those medieval SUVs!

It's mosquito time!!!!!!!!

So here is our Trainwreck PSA for all of us who will be outside working around the megaload of mosquitos the rain has brought.

Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets...Best thing ever used in
Louisiana ..just wipe on & go..Great for Babies


Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day
April through October . He said it works. He was right.
Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.
Vitimin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)


If you eat bananas,the mosquitos like you, -
something about the banana oil as your body processes it.
Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos
will be much less interested.


This is going to floor you, but one of the best
insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods
every day), is Vick's Vaporub.


Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off
a smell that bugs do not like,
so plant some in that garden also to help ward
off bugs without using insecticides.


"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time
"camping out" say that the very best mosquito
repellant you can use is
Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about
half and half with alcohol.


One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered
is made from the clear real vanilla.

This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico .

It works great for mosquitoes and ticks,
don't know about other insects.

When all else fails--get a frog

Do you live with a blogger?

If you do, do you want to start your own blog- but think all the good stuff is taken?
Kelly does. (you'll haveta scroll down to Thurs. May 10 because she doesn't want links to specific postings- I guess). (Her template is kinda screwed up).

But, there is a vast difference between how men and women see the same thing.
Go ahead and tell Dick to ,,,ummmm...read your take on things- Kelly.
I wouldn't mind if Karen would start one, then she could get her side out,,, and my fubars.

Anyway, Kelly- here's a pefect example of the difference between men and women....


HER side of the story....

He was in an odd mood Sunday night. We planned to meet at a bar for a drink. I spent the afternoon shopping with the girls and I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit later than I promised, but he didn't say anything much about it. The conversation was very slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately.
We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure. So anyway, in the car on the way back home, I said that I loved him deeply and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he didn't say it back or anything. We finally got back home and I was wondering if he was going to leave me!
So I tried to get him to talk but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to bed. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and to my surprise, we made love. But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to confront him but I just cried myself to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I really think he's seeing someone else.

--------------------------------------------

HIS side of the Story:

The Texans lost. Got laid though.

You'd think that some brains would rub off

If nothing else than osmisis.
But then again, her aristocratic family is probably so inbred that there are serious mental in the progeny.

I *know* there had to be brains in order for them to become so filth-rich that they think they're above conequences.

I guess that's why Paris just HAD to see how high she could send her pre-prison urine sample...


(UPDATE)
Speaking of celeberaties in the spotlight......
Haven't we gone through this once before.

Watch this while you can

Before it disappears from the open minded archives of You-tube.



I wonder if any Liberals see themselves here?

"No, that's the Bush regime"
Oh, yeah. All those anti-Bush protesters getting dragged away in front of the pervasive video cameras,,,,

Help them overthrow their British overlords

Yes, the islamists who are flooding into Great Britain are throwing a riot protest over at #10 Downing St. because of their draconian ,,,,,,,ummmm....freedoms.

You know, the freedom to be "offended" by everything that can be a weapon in their religious dominance their adopted country has to offer.

They're opressed by manmade laws based on Biblical principles- as opposed to say,,,stoning a rape victim to death because she had the terminity to get raped.

Oppressed by the freedom to protest against what the majority believe, and NOT be prosicuted for that.

Just watch this video on Britains' repression.



Horrible!

Ohh,,,,,,did anyone notice the silloette of our Abu Graib poster boy girl in the poster that I stole from Rusty?

The train ride

4 people in the carriage of a train - an Englishman, a pretty young Blonde girl, an ugly old woman and, a Frenchman.

It all goes dark when the train goes through a tunnel.

In the dark there's the sound of an almighty slap, and when the Train emerges from the tunnel the Frenchman is rubbing his face, and there's a huge red mark on his cheek.

The old lady thinks "I bet that Frenchman fondled the blonde in the Dark And she slapped him"

The pretty young blonde thinks " I bet the Frenchman tried to fondle Me In the dark, got the old lady by mistake, and she hit him"

The Frenchman thinks "I bet that Englishman fondled the blonde in the dark, but the blonde thought it was me and hit me"

The Englishman thinks "I hope there's another tunnel coming up soon so I can smack that French tw*t again"

Does this picture make me look fat?

Maybe.
But I like pleasingly plump.

But just because you thought it did, and you stole 1,000 school papers to hide it- GUESS WHAT?????
Now you're going to be all over the Internet!

And just to let you know, you shouldn't be so embarrassed about your belly- You really ought to be embarrassed that you look like a whore stripper on her way to work. The used "ho" look brought to you by the letter "N"


Do your parents know you dress like that?

This tickles my sense of the bizzaar

Bwahahahah!

"You think I'm cute? You should see my aunt!


But, then again,,,,maybe this was it's mommy?
Didn't know they had that many free range deer in England. Good thing the Queen didn't sik the sheriff on him too- for killing one of her deer.

Stoopid peasant!

When something sounds too good to be true...

It probably isn't.

Like the story about the prison Priest who got over on the mullah on a prison religious conference.
You remember, he asked the mullah three questions about islam, and the mullah ended up speechless and hanging his head in shame?


Well, I asked Snopes about him, and got the answer.......along with a Liberal corollary.

Dogblogging

Goliath likes peanut butter




So does Scooter, but the Nikon software ate his pic.

We think Goliath will live up to his name, because he's starting to look 'Dane"ish.


Does anyone watch "Lost"? Doesn't Ben kinda remind you opf someone? Like DR. Moreau? or Dr. Mengela?

Can you believe a Democrat came up with this?

A nice little political game
But I'll play it.

One of the members of the Texas Leg. has put forth a bill to suspend the Texas .20/gal state tax for the summer in order to give their citizens a break. And the house voted to approve it! Not ALL of our Dems here in Texas are complete Communists.

Ok, I'll go for it.
I know it won't get passed, just like the one last year didn't get passed.
Can't give up that free money, ya know.
Besides it's only .20/gal... which is only an extra 5.20 out of Kurt's wallet when he fills his tank up twice (or three times) a week. Plus the 3.80 each of the three times Karen fill her truck.
Yeah, Kurt and Karen don't need that $20 bill every week, besides WE know how to spend it better than them.

Chit, they'd probably use it to put MORE gas in their trucks instead of spending $18 million on rehabbing ONE rest stop on I-10.


Ohh, as long as we're talking about Texans and money here.
I hope none of y'all left any personal information last time you were in
EZ Pawn.
If you did, you REALLY need to check your accounts...

Y'all know I'm looking at small trucks

Specifically I'm looking for small cheep trucks with A/C.

It dawned on me that if I got one of them it would probably have the old R-12 (freon) system in it, and I'll have to convert it over to R-134.

When is the last time since they banned R-12 that you've heard about the Ozone hole?
The thinning Ozone layer?

Ok, did we fix it? or did the greenies get their way with bogus science, and then swept the story under the rug?
If we still have the problem, it wasn't Freon- was it? If the Ozone is growing back, shouldn't we have heard something about it?



Just wondering, be interesting to hear your ideas.

Position open

We will soon have at least 60 openings in our elite crowd control unit.

Benefits include

• As much overtime as you can handle
• Retraining in your chosen field
• Personal interaction with those that control your career
• Constantly changing job tasking
• A chain of command who works for the best P.R. control around
• You could be a nationwide TV star.
• Plenty of chance for promotion if you can toe the ever changing PC line.

Yes, that's what you'll be seeing in the LA Times soon.

Actually, there should be openings for several thousand replacements as the current occupants decide that they're done being scape-goats for doing their jobs -by a politically expedient police department. Who'd rather throw them under the bus than get bad PR from the media flacks.

Rrrrrrrrucy! Ju got some 'splainin to do,,,

About this B.S. from the leading Dems.

R.J. Reynolds launched the brand in February. It says the cigarettes are aimed at adult female smokers, a market segment where Camel has performed poorly.

But anti-smoking groups and others have argued that the product - from its name, which recalls an upscale perfume, to the packaging to the ads - appears designed to lure teens or young women. The cigarettes come in black boxes with a border of teal or fuchsia. They're advertised in women's magazines under the slogan "Light and Luscious," on textured paper adorned with images of red roses and lace.

"Camel No. 9 cigarettes are being advertised to appeal to teenage girls' desire to be 'chic' and 'cosmopolitan' ... Teenage girls are especially vulnerable to this kind of advertising pitch," said Friday's letter from the five Democrats to FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras.

"We believe it is time for the FTC to step in to protect our nation's teenagers from cigarettes, a product that kills one-third of its users."

The letter, which came a day after The Associated Press wrote about criticism of the ads, was e-mailed to the AP by the office of Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, who initiated it. It was also signed by Sens. Tom Harkin of Iowa, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts and Illinois' Dick Durbin, according to Lautenberg's office.

~snip...money quote~

The debate over the Camel campaign comes amid a renewed push for federal regulation of tobacco. A bipartisan group of lawmakers has reintroduced legislation that would give the Food and Drug Administration the authority over tobacco products that it has over many other consumer products.


Ok, so they want to keep kids from smoking? Great!
Doesn't anyone with the I.Q. greater than a clam KNOW that cigarettes are bad for you? ...Ooops, obviously not the juries that award millions to people who started smoking AFTER the warnings were all over the place.

So they're going to do exactly what to change a teens indestructible, and shortsighted outlook on life?

In Texas you have to LOOK 27 before they stop carding you for smokes. There are scary warnings all over the cigarette tobacco areas that tell you that you're going to jail and get a huge fine if you so much as THINK about supplying a teen with a coffin nail.

How are these geniuses going to stop kids from smoking.
Guess what you over-educated moral dictators, they're KIDS. As long as the cool kids do it, it'll BE cool. There's nothing you can do to stop it.

Stolen from Steel.

Are y'all ready for this one?

She looks cute enough -(and white enough) to be the next 24/7 missing-babe-all-the-time story of the week.

PLAINFIELD, Ill. — Police in Plainfield, Ill., are investigating the disappearance of a mother who has been missing since Monday.

Authorities said that so far there are no signs of foul play.

Lisa Stebic, 37, of Plainfield — an upscale community 20 miles west of Chicago — was last seen early Monday evening.

Her husband, 41-year-old Craig Stebic, said he was working in the backyard and their young children were out when his wife disappeared, according to The Chicago Tribune.

"I can't see her leaving her kids," Craig Stebic told the Tribune. "She's a good mother. She'd do anything for her kids."

Look at the pic,,,am I wrong?
Jaded?
Just a cold hearted s.o.b?

Ok, you mommies out there

Here's something for the kids room...


All I have to say is "don't ask, don't tell".

BWAHahahah

A blogger joining my blogroll is talking about his brand-spankin'-new son.
and the clean-up...

I can’t even get my son to empty the trash once a week and his diapers are two thirds of what we throw away now; except for the really soiled ones which I’m burying in the backyard in an attempt to recycle them as fertilizer for the herb garden. The idea will work too if I can just get the dogs to stop digging them back up and using them for chew toys.

Ohh, yes son- just wait until you have kids of your own....

(UPDATE)
Link is fixed.

One for the girlzz

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Today America celebrates a holiday that was imported from a third world country, because they are either too lazy, or stupid to assimilate in America. Just days after they took to the streets DEMANDING their civil rights. I guess, since they didn't DO anything to earn them, they gained the right through osmosis.

We have the MSM talking about this wonderful holiday, and what it means to America (WTF?) and how to celebrate it. Yahoo has their little Cinco de Mayo gif on their home page.

Naturally, seeing money to be made, Hallmark came out with a line of C.d.M, cards.
I wonder if they're in English? So we have more people celebrating C.d.M. than we do Veterans Day.

Nice.

I wonder when El Presidente Booosh is going to declare it an American holliday,,,,since the Mexicans are doing the celebration the Americans don't.

Counting down.......3.........2........1

Ok, the blogfest is probably setteling down ot a dull roar.

Untill ol' Cap. loosens the liquer chest and starts handing out his Key Lime Pie shooters.

I don't know the others personally.
I will tomorrow- or Sun. when I/we make it up to Kerrville.

I'll be bringing the jerky- two varieties (teryiaki and pepper) and some of the arsonal- both Black powder pistols, the .22 and 30-06 rifles for the serious masochists.

Y'all have fun up there, and Erica? Get some sleep.

As long as I'm on the hot Conservative babe videos

Here's one I just threw together:



I was going to do it after her last "offensive" comments, but didn't have the time.
So, just bookmark it for the next time everyone gets their undies in a bundle because Ann said what she said,,,which is usually ALOT milder than most Libs get a pass on.




Sorry for the crappy quality on some of the pics, but I forgot to re size them before sending them over to moviemaker.

Is ther e ANYTHING besides Miami in S.E. Florida?

I mean the greater Miami area, all 15 miles deep and 60 miles long.

I just got offed a utility locate job there for $28.50/hr, so I figured buy an RV and rent a spot.
Except that all the RV parks I could find are in the city- somewhere, and they want an average of $650/mo lot rent.
I don't want to BUY the d@mmed thang! That's what the lower end of apartments are going for.
I'd buy an RV and locate it out in the swamp wetlands, but I can't find anything west of Miami in commuting distance.

They have an opening in Seattle, too- but that has an actual winter.
And the housing costs are out the roof there, too.
And it's full of Libs.

Gawd, aren't I lucky

I've been selected to preview the "NEWEST" and "MOST IMPROVED" version of e-bay motors.
It sucks!
It's not easy to actually *find* what you're looking for.

They include the menu at the top of EVERY frigging page.
You can't click on say an SUV icon and expect to actually go to the page that SELLS them, it takes you to a page TELLING you about them.

You have to copy and past what you want to look at in the search bar.
Then, does it take you where you want to go?
NO! It takes you to a page that sells frigging EVERYTHING with the search word in it.


And you keep going through the frigging options untill you FINALLY get to where you want to go. Almost...


Gahhhh,,,,,if I wanted another set of monthly payments, I'd go to buy one from a dealer...but that's another set of hassels, isn't it?



I guess the new e-bay isn't so bad in comparison to car salesmen, after all.

(UPDATE)
I just looked at the laptop and got a lot BIGGER selection than this one, you'd think that the data base would be the same at least, wouldn't you?

So, I hear that the Iraqi leg. is taking a vacation

All I hear from the usual places is that they have the huzpah to taks TWO WHOLE months off!

In the middle of a war!
While our toops are fighting for them!

Because they don't take the war seriously enough!

It's a good thing they aren't as serious as OUR congress.

I may be wrong, but haven't they pretty much been trying to actually hammer out a government almost non-stop for like, two years. While terrorists continue to try to blow them up every chance they get?

I wonder if they get a cool quarter mil per year with every perk you could think of?

Hamm-ing it up

to a Dr. Seus-ish reading.











Stolen from Bushwack!

Thanks Libs

And the enviro-Nazis that you love.

Gas prices are going through the roof.
You got the mandatory ethanol added to gas.

Now the price of corn is going through the roof, and so is meat- because YOU caused the corn shortage.

Now, remind me again---WHO is for the 'little guy"?

I can't even find a P.O.S. small truck for under $2500 that I'd think of buying.


Thanks for making keeping us so reliant on volatile foreign oil supplies.

Everyone who isn't independently wealthy -or on some kind of government subsidy really appreciates how well you're looking out for us.


(UPDATE)
...And speaking if Libs having their heads completely up their @sses...
The y want to outlaw using safe, effective and cheap incandescent light bulbs in favor of the minutely more efficient compact fluorescent bulbs.

The are a lot more expensive just to buy, and the energy savings over the life might break even with incandescent.

Except if you break one. Then it'll cost about $2000 U.S. in clean-up costs, plus all the extra energy burned to have all the hazmat equipment come to your house, AND completely refurnishing your daughters room because of the mercury poisoning.

Chicken hawk!

What it the definition of a Chicken Hawk? Or is it War hawk?
I forget with all these codewords.

Anyway, I read a link to craigslist from someone claiming to be ex-military who went on a rant against G. Bush, because HE killed her husband in Iraq.

I'd fisk it, but ANYONE who's been around Marines knows that they'd *never* refer to themselves as a soldier.

I guess That I needn't mention which basion of patriotism it was posted from, do I?



Anyway, H/T to GS

Remember the Haditha Marines accused of murder?

It was supposed to be the modern day version of MyLai.
The Legacy media flogged it like a rented mule, until even they got tired of hearing about it.

In case you've forgotten- the terrorists and their allies on the left waited over a day to decide that the Marines had killed innocent people.
Then, as in the case of Jennifer Lynch, the Media puppets began to distort the truth; and George Booosh's government AGAIN put more weight on the words of Americas enemies than the people who took an oath to defend her.

Except that the governments railroad job is falling apart. This time.

...
Although the prosecutors said they needed more time to prepare their cases, there is much more to the story than that NewsMax.com has learned, and it paints a shocking picture of a prosecution that should never have been pursued.

In a nutshell, the case exploded when an intelligence officer dropped a bombshell on prosecutors during a pre-hearing interview when he revealed the existence of exculpatory evidence that appears to have been obtained by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and withheld from the prosecutors.

This officer, described by senior Marine Corps superiors as one of the best and most dedicated intelligence officers in the entire Marine Corps, was in possession of evidence which provided a minute-by-minute narrative of the entire day's action — material which he had amassed while monitoring the day's action in his capacity as the battalion's intelligence officer. That material, he says, was also in the hands of the NCIS.

Much of that evidence remains classified, but it includes videos of the entire day's action, including airstrikes against insurgent safe houses. Also included was all of the radio traffic describing the ongoing action between the men on the ground and battalion headquarters, and proof that the Marines were aware that the insurgents conducting the ambush of the Kilo Company troops were videotaping the action — the same video that after editing ended up in the hands of a gullible anti-war correspondent for Time magazine.

When asked by the prosecution team to give his copies of the evidence to the prosecution, he told NewsMax.com that he was reluctant to do so, fearing it would again be suppressed or misused, but later relented when ordered by his commanding general to do so.

Confronted by the massive mounds of evidence that Marine Corps sources tell NewsMax proves conclusively that the cases against the Haditha Marines are baseless, the prosecutors were forced to postpone the Article 31 against Lt. Col. Chessani and two of the enlisted men in an attempt to regroup.

By granting immunity to the officer on the scene of the house-clearing effort, the prosecution, lawyers say, has further weakened its case.

... (my bolding)

Kinda like Bush's prostitutors are doing with anyone accused by our enemies, weather they're in the Mid-east or on out southern borders.
Too bad the Law on the border can't get any help from the Boosh administration, either.
