If so, you might want to let them know what you think of their strong-arm tacticics on our two Texas Republican Senators.
This is a list of Amnesty supporters who are "getting rich off the backs of poor people".I'd bet that if you look at Swift and Tyson's home state, they have some kind of lobbying group like this, also.
I think I'll be sending some e-mails tomorrow.
Thanking them for keeping MY wages down.
...AND letting them know I'll try finding other suppliers who might be a bit more expensive- but more patriotic.

Gun Grabbers, , , even Storm Troopers aren't immune
Is there any more comment needed?
The man had been on his way to pose for a community newspaper ahead of the 30th Star Wars movie anniversary when he was surrounded by armed police, forced to the ground and handcuffed.
Police said despite being a harmless replica and a close match to a weapon from a galaxy far, far away, the man would be charged with possessing an unregistered firearm.
Ok, it happened in OZ- butwill could be comming to a community near you

If you live within about 100 miles of Charlston,,,
DO NOT answer your door the weekend of June 15th.
Another Trainwreck PSA
Now, this just goes to show how out of it I am. I was always under the impression that escorts were.......hot.
I can understand paying $200 (well, not really...but) to a sizzling hot babe,,, but hose pictured would need to give me back change for a $20.
Sorry, it's a guy thing.

More scientific heresy
I was going to say something about "Shrooms- the hippy wonder fungi", but caught a quote throwing water on the Sky-is-falling...the Earth is DYING crowd.
The article was talking about shrooms that eat radiation, you know turn our nuclear waste into food,,,and all.
When I hit this quote:
"It shows you how nature is resilient and resourceful. Nature can use an energy source wherever it can find it," Casadevall said.
Yep, his scientific career is over. Doesn't he KNOW just how fragile the earth is?

Did I mention
That my wife and her girls are here LEGALLY.
They came over on a K-1 (fiancee visa) and we've paid around $3000 or so in fees and services so far.
I'm really, really sorry that I can't muster the sympathy for illegals having to pay $5000- IF they want to do anything but be what they were before Booosh gave them amnesty.

I'm glad someone's taking out the trash.
I don't know what started it- this time- but it's something that needs to be done.
Too bad Olmert ...and the usual Islamophiles stopped Isreal from finishing their part.

Why did I notice that???
Now all I can think of when I see the most advanced (and expensive) fighter we have, is . . .
. . . a
. . . Duck.
I mean it's cool as h*ll, but about 3/4 of the video- when it's standing on it's tail in a stall.....
Gawd, the waggling duck feet look........
Click on the Langly Airshow button.

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 theMexican 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.

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?

Oh, yeah. All those anti-Bush protesters getting dragged away in front of the pervasive video cameras,,,,

Yes, the islamists who are flooding into Great Britain are throwing a
You know, the freedom to be "offended" by everything
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

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
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
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.
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.

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 thecigarette 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.

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.

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
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.

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?

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....
