Your Monday night Toob

all in one setting tonight...

In four questions out of thirty-three

did politicians do better than an average citizen on this civics test.
...And two thirds of them are related to speechifying (on the bottom)

This guy who only graduated from high school (with Vo/Tech training) got 29 out of 33 for 87.88% because of my lack of economics and business math.


Stolen from MNR

You realize, if Palin would have said this...

It would be all over the news...

Advance to about 1:30 if you don't want to hear the usual Liberal trope.

He makes how MUCH per year?

I'm surprised that they're surprised

Israel has the best intelligence network in the Mid-east, if not the world.
didn't anyone tell the leadership about 0bamas penchant for throwing people under the bus for political expediency?

If Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is toppled, Israel will lose one of its very few friends in a hostile neighborhood and President Barack Obama will bear a large share of the blame, Israeli pundits said on Monday.

Political commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to be ready to dump a staunch strategic ally of three decades, simply to conform to the current ideology of political correctness.



And speaking of political obtuseness, has anyone wondered what the UN's take in this is? Well Ban Ki-moon wants the world to wreck their economies to forestall GLOBAL WARMING.
Yeah, because something that'll take decades to show is much more important than an Egyption state going tits-up.

Recycling




It's not just for hippies anymore!

What's that word we were missing from the Bush years?

Ahhh- yes..........Gravitas.

Because He'd throw a going away party while the Mid-East was ready to go up in flames.

But we won't hear anything about delaying a going away party for David Axelrod last night.





UPDATE
It's reported that Hilary broke away from the festivities because she just remembered to tell the Cairo Embassy to relay something.

Ummmm...Chris...Panama canal?

Since when...

Does the Patriot Act regulate the availability of cold medications?



Why involk the PATRIOT ACT? Shouldn't it be the DEA?
...And given the fact that meth labs are still increasing, we have another example of the government infringing on citizens rights for no reason at all.

What an internet switch looks like



Aren't you glad that the other party can trigger it whenever they want WITHOUT any oversight by the Justice Department?

Bolton on Egypt and the mid-east

"Regis" explains what's going on in Egypt, and what it's history is.



Our next President is telling Gretta what's in the mix.
Now, I just hope those amateurs at 1600 Penna Ave don't f*ck things up so bad that the next guy can't fix it.


Hey- lets stop even MORE domestic oil production! That'll show those sand naggers just how we WANT to support them.

Because nobody's worried about Iran on one side of the Suez Canal and an unstable Egypt on the other.

The internet ISP

That's basically the address of your modem, right?

So if there was an address of, say 63.232.29.### that would be -in normal notation 6,323,229,###- right?
There are over six Billion possible internet doorways to get on these intratubz?

That means America is in the hole $300 for every ISP in the world!
Niiice.

Where are all the white women at?


You know I couldn't help that.

Rare?

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama experienced a rare speaking stumble Thursday, mixing up Iraq and Afghanistan when responding in a YouTube interview to questions challenging the wars in those countries.

Guys, if you weren't so busy covering for him, he'd make Dan Quayle look like Abe Lincoln.





I've got a CDL

And when I've been using it, I try to use it pulling either a tanker or a flatbed.

One of the big reasons I'd rather not pull a dry-van is the need to remember that trailer you can only see the sides on- is 13 feet tall starting about ten feet behind where you're sitting.

My bucket truck and dangle/digger were at 12'6" and 13', but they stuck over my hood so I remembered.

If you've ever wondered why (or noticed) there were signs telling how high the overpass was...
except for oversized loads, 13 feet is the highest a covered/box van is made.

I'm telling you this to show you why it's not a good idea to lease a truck to just anyone.

Especilly someone without a CDL...Penskie...Ryder...

In Soviet Union -state can divide by zero

State can also tell you how many rolls of TP you need.
State controls your heating oil.

State tells you this is not creepy-
Enjoy Soviet playgrounds.

Democrat party watching in awe at what they missed.

Another side trip from tomorrows' history

25 years ago, the MSM was on a playback-loop with this...



..of course it didn't sound so...black then.
Because the MSM didn't want to remind people that there wasn't a black pilot on Discovery.

On a lighter note

The money moment is at the two minute mark:


I'm surprised those dumbasses didn't pull off the entire front end.
All they would have needed was a free spare tire under the tow-rope on the bank.
POP- up-it-comes-like-it-was-on-a-pulley.

Smart diplomacy

I guess in an ideal world there would be a place for it.
But we live in the real world where people look at your actions through the filter of their lives, and their culture.

The whole mid-east look like it's ready to blow, and if there was someone who the arabs respected -who wanted to put out the word to cool it, or we'll do something- that they knew meant it; it might actually mean something. But Putin is going to sit back and see how it looks like it might turn out.

It's too bad we don't have a leader

the arabs respect, or fear,,, you know- a cowboy.

So the whole thing is going to spill over like Mrs. O'Leary's lantern and Israel is going to have to start throwing punches just to survive...


...and where will we be?


UPDATE
Because of this bushfire, oil's going to go through the roof.
Aren't we glad that this administration is making sure we're not dependent on mid-east oil?

Coming to a government cut-off switch near you

All internet connections with Egypt are down.

That's right- no news in or out and I'd bet there's no cell phone connections up either.


It's a good thing we don't have a government that would even think abo.........Oh yeah.

Here's a thougt

Via Prepology we see this;
Farmers are being asked to plant Millions of acres here in the US to prop up dwindling supplies of corn and soybeans worldwide. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expecting 15-year lows for corn and 40-year lows for soybean, current pricing for these commodities are $6.40 a bushel and $14 a bushel respectively.

Ummm, yeah- mebbe we might quite turning it into fuel to repay ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND for their political contributions?

The unemployment rate is almost 10%

Geophery and his friends just could not understand why no-one would hire them...

Doesn't Ted Turner own a chitload of land there?

In Montana?

Just wondering, because we all know that the only thing that Liberals care about is how their ideas and actions make them feel.

And how it makes other Liberals feel about them.

Not that this article has anything to do with how Ted Turner treats his livestock,,,,or anything.





So, didja like how I tried to link Libs to starving horses like they do anything bad to Sarah Palin?

Dear Islamo-terrorists

Take a look at the top picture.
Then realize what a Lt. Col can do by looking at the bottom.



Think about that seriously if we ever get a president with the cajones to really want to stop you.



Love,

A PSA for Texas hunters..or anyone out doors

(January 24, 2011)—Researchers at Texas Tech University’s Institute of Environmental and Human Health warned area farmers, ranchers and hunters Monday to use caution when handling wild game after finding evidence of the bacteria that causes tularemia in feral hogs in Bell and Coryell Counties.

OK, it's only in two counties now- but that doesn't mean it'll stay there.

Besides, these precautions are common sense anyway...

“If you are handling or cleaning or eating wild game, particularly hogs, deer or rabbits, you should be wearing rubber gloves and eye protection when you’re dressing wild game,” he said.

“The bacteria can enter any sort of small cut or hangnail. During this time of year, it might not be as big of an issue, but you should check yourself for ticks, wear tick repellent and avoid biting flies, including mosquitoes.”

Presley also recommends making sure game meats are thoroughly cooked before eating them and says homeowners and lawn care professionals should look for wild rabbit nests hidden in tall grasses prior to mowing.


It's also known as Rabbit fever.

On this day in 1973

The Paris peace accords ended the Viet Nam war.

After a Democrat Congress Starved the military of funding.

So I walked the garbage cans up to the road just now

And opened a Ten. Foot. Wide. Gate.
As I was unlatching it I saw the remains of a plastic bezel and red lens. Where someone had backed into the post with their right side bumper.

I don't know which one did it because both of them drive a small SUV- one's a Hyundai and the other is a Montero Sport.
I don't know which one is going to be out the $50-$100 that it'll need to fix it. But I DO know that they were sticking their head out the drivers window like a gopher because they know better how to back up than someone who can parallel park a semi with 53 foot dry van.

Because here's a hint for someone who 'might' listen.
When you back up, look at your side mirrors, they'll show you EXACTLY where your vehicle is heading, and what you might hit.

You can't do that when you back up like this:


UPDATE
Here's something else I picked up driving big trucks.
The acronym is G.O.A.L. Remember that if your not sure you can make it. It means-
Get
Out
And
Look

He blew-off his first anti-earmark promise

I don't know why his Left base thinks he'll keep his promise this time.

Any more than he kept his promise of a lobbyist-free white house.

But, hey! At least we have the most ethical and open Administration since the Clintons.

Because the Left has control of the DoJ and the White House

They don't have a problem with the .gov reading their E-mails, tracking their cell calls or tracing their web surfing.

Soon, your boyz will be replaced by Rethuglicans who now have the same power, and what are you going to do about it?
Yell and cry and take them to court demanding all the restrictions they had under Bush?

Sorry Toots, it's too late- you should have seen this coming.
Except that you were blinded by your Chicago Jeezus.


I'm going to laugh at you freaking out when you realize how much the Republicans can get on you now.

So,,,what does it mean?

All those stupid black and white ribbons adorning overly expensive evening wear?
Let me guess... It reflects the polarizing tone that once was in the chambers is now a wonderful counterpoint to each other symbolized by this $500 ribbon of hope and changieness. Given to your prom date to signify the momentous day in history that will only be repeated as long as bi-partisanship can overcome teapartyishness.

Or until a Rethuglican is in power.

Is anyone going to waste their time listening to Prez Kickazz?

Are any of you going to watch the pre-address show? I hear they're going to get Joan and Melissa Rivers to comment on the pregame show.

AND, most importantly, what kind of sofa cover will MEchelle be wearing from a soon-to-be-bankrupt designer?
