seriously..is this really happening?

I got this email today:

A wonderful legacy is in the making. We only have 3.5 more years before the carnage is over. So, Let's Recap...

1. The American people elect a black president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state in America whose governor is ousted from office. The President's first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorist's civil rights are not violated.. (He screwed up!!)

2.. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists. (An honest mistake?!)

3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere. (There were socioeconomic factors involved!)

4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. (You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks! Sometimes like rotting cans of tuna fish)

5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years. (He misspoke!)

6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges. (Another honest mistake???)

7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges. (Hmmm ... another screw-up?)

8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. (OK, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)

9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes. (I'm running out of excuses for these idiots!!)

10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed. (This could drive me to drink!)

All this occurred just during the first three weeks....but who's counting?

America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges; Barry, Harry and Pelosi and they are still trying to define stimulus..."it's spending!!!" (Are you surprised? Clinton couldn't even define the word "is".)

The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that's $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Walmart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!

His 32 highly paid czars have backgrounds that you, as an individual, would have absolutely nothing to do with. He gave them these positions to pay them for previous services rendered. Just like good-ole Chicago Dem politics.

Only in America, what a country..... Please, Pray for our country!

Here's the good news though - Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR. Of course what they don't tell you is that he also had to have a C-141 or (sometimes) a C5A cargo plane ferry Marine One (the helicopter) to make the shorter hops to avoid traffic... that's another 20,000 gallons. Then another C-141 plane to ferry the limousine to his staging area for the shorter (non-traffic-conflicting) drive-up photo-op arrival... that's another 10-20,000 gallons... well you do the math. Don't forget that everywhere the limo goes, 4 to 5 armor-plated, 50-caliber machine gun equipped SUVs escort him for security. There are 3 to 5 Secret Service Agents in each SUV.
Then he went to Europe and decided to take his family for an "educational" experience for the girls. That means he took Air Force One. The family flew separately and "met him there..." That means Michelle and the girls took the "backup for Air Force One" (identical Boeing 747). This whole wing of the Air Force (same group that flies him everywhere he goes includes one extra 747 this time) hopped around the Mediterranean from Belgium, to Egypt, Turkey, Germany, France, England, and wherever the other countries where that they joined him and he visited, to apologize for America and pledge that we would no longer be a Christian nation. Every place they went, they had to take two 747s, (one for the prez and one for the family), three or more C-141s to ferry the helicopter, the limousine, and four armor-plated SUVs to escort the limo. Note that neither the limo nor any of the armor-plated SUVs is a hybrid. They get about 5-8 MPG. Marine One is also NOT fuel efficient. Everywhere he goes, all of them go (except to Europe where the family did have to take the extra 747).
Then they decided to go on vacation to Martha's Vineyard. This time they seemed to be more economical. They only took one 747 and left the limo at home since there were no formal photo ops planned while on a casual vacation. But, of course, the helicopter and SUVs had to go since they were there for a week. That's security. On vacation, they just have to rough it and ride in one of the SUVs.
While the first family is "vacationing" in privacy, the standby helicopter and all the SUVs remain out of sight, yet heavily guarded while they remain on the alert awaiting the beckoned-call. That guard detail, just to secure the vehicles and Marine One, is a 24-hour-a-day duty. Trust me, there is more than one man standing there with an M-16. Very likely they mobilized a fair number of the National Guard or state police for that duty.
Now if you are a thinking person, and you are trying to figure out the logistics of all this, you may be wondering... if they take Marine One on vacation with them, how do they get from Andrews AFB back to the White House when they arrive back in DC? Easy! Just like Air Force One, there is a backup Marine One helicopter. While the one used on vacation is being dismantled for the return flight... (They have to re-configure the rotor blades to fit the helicopter into a cargo plane.) another one is waiting at Andrews Air Force Base to take them back to the White House when they arrive in DC. [ Backup 747s, backup helicopters, yes, backup limousine, and believe it or not, backup SUVs. They simply can not afford to have a mechanical problem deadline them in the middle of a trip.]

Don't you just love this hypocrite?
The automotive executives were expected to sell their aircraft that only made two trips to D.C. He hasn't kept his wing of the Air Force on the ground long enough to do their scheduled maintenance.

Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for seven months and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration. He must miss Reverend Wright!

In these times 'I'll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money. Anyone that supports this insanity can keep "THE CHANGE".


IN GOD WE TRUST <:))))><

a Joke

Becky Silverstein says to Jackie Silverstein, "You're going out of town for three days and I have no money. Can you look at the car and possibly see if you can find out what's wrong with it. It keeps stalling!"

Jackie replies, "Take a look on my forehead. Do you see written 'Henry Ford?'"

Becky says, "If you can't look at the car can you at least look at the washing machine? I can't get it to work properly."

Jackie replies, "Becky, take a look on my forehead. Do you see written, 'Mr. Maytag?"

When she asks Jackie to look at the grill that's not working he replies, "Take a look at my forehead, Do you see written George Foreman?"

After three days away he comes into the house to see the washing machine working perfectly. He then goes into the garage and starts the car. The engine purrs pefectly. He then notices steaks on the grill.

He says to Becky, "How did you get all of this fixed? You said you had no money?"

Becky replies, "You know Mr. Rodiguez the handyman. He said he would fix it for me free if either I made love with him or if I made him a good dinner."

Jackie asks, "So what did you cook for him?"

Becky replies, "Jackie, Take a look on my forehead. Do you see written Betty Crocker?"

Principal Resigns After Showing Students in Sex Tape

A Kentucky principal last month screened school surveillance footage showing two teenagers having sex in the lunchroom and provided lurid play-by-play commentary as fellow educators watched the video in his office.

In the wake of a probe of his bizarre behavior, Dave Wilson retired last week as head of Louisville Male High School.

On September 3 Wilson summoned several co-workers to his office. They arrived to find a darkened room with five chairs pointed toward a large white screen. Using a projector connected to his laptop, Wilson, pictured at right, screened a ten-minute video showing the teens having sex the prior afternoon. "Hey, baby, why don't you come over here and grab my pencil," and "It won't take me long, I am like the minute man," were two of Wilson's comments as the video played, according to witnesses. While the pantsless girl, an 11th grade student, sat in the boy's lap, Wilson slowed the video down and remarked that the group could watch it in slow motion or he could speed the clip up and "make him go even faster."

At the video's conclusion, Wilson could be seen approaching the teens. One witness reported that "Wilson and others" had been watching the students in real time, and when they "were finished having sex," Wilson entered the cafeteria to "run the students out of the building."

The school district's probe of Wilson also turned up allegations that he showed up to school events intoxicated and made inappropriate comments to students and staff. In a September 29 letter, Wilson announced his retirement, effective after he had used up his remaining vacation and personal days.

Bus stop proposal: man proposes to girlfriend with an ad at her stop

Chicago Tribune

Eric Anderson wanted to do something big when he proposed to his girlfriend, Rachel Clark.

So when he spotted the bus shelter at Sheridan Road and Surf Street with available ad space, he had found the site to declare his love to Clark -- and to commuters on Routes 134, 143, 151 and 156. Most importantly, it's the stop Clark uses most days.

"At first I was afraid it wouldn't be very romantic -- it's a bus station," he said. "But I mentioned it to her sister and my cousin, and they were both excited about it. I had two women who liked it, so I went with it."

Anderson, 25, contacted JCDecaux, which manages the city's bus shelters. The firm typically charges up to $3,000 a month for bus stop ads -- a price out of Anderson's reach. But his request pulled on the heart strings of JCDecaux account executive Sandy Pickett.

"I approached my sales director," Pickett said. "Being a romantic, she said, 'Let's go for it!' "

So the company let Anderson rent the space for one week at a discounted rate, and Wednesday morning, the proposal went up: "Rachel! I love you! Let's be a team forever! Will you marry me? XOXO, Eric." It included symbols of a heart (for love), the scales of justice (she's an attorney), a gear (he's an engineer for Ford Motors) and a knot (as in, let's tie the ...) running down the side.

"I was lost in my own little world," Clark said of arriving at the stop Wednesday. "I marched up to the bus stop, and he was standing behind it. ... He's like, 'Read the sign!' I started giggling and laughing going, 'Yes, yes!' "

As morning commuters ignored the Lakeview couple, Anderson got down on one knee and presented Clark, 28, with a stone passed down in his family for 130 years.

Now, until the sign comes down, Clark gets to relive her proposal each day on her way to work.

"It's kind of cool to have this sort of little secret in the morning," she said. "I want to be like, 'That's me! I'm getting married!' "

In a mental institution a nurse walks into a room and sees a patient acting like he's driving a car. The nurse asks him, "Charlie, what are you doing?"
Charlie replied, "Driving to Chicago!" The nurse wishes him a good trip and leaves the room.

The next day the nurse enters Charlie's room just as he stops driving his imaginary car and asks, "Well Charlie, how are you doing?"
Charlie says, "I just got into Chicago."
"Great," replied the nurse.

The nurse leaves Charlie's room and goes across the hall into Bob's room, and finds Bob sitting on his bed furiously masturbating. Shocked,
she asks, "Bob, what are you doing?!"

Bob says, "I'm screwing Charlie's wife while he's in Chicago!"

Mother of the Year Nominee

OCTOBER 6--Meet Jackie Knott. The Alabama woman, 37, is facing a child endangerment rap for allegedly having her teenage daughter ride in a cardboard box atop her minivan as it traveled along an interstate highway Saturday morning. Knott, pictured in the above Albertville Police Department mug shot, told cops that her 13-year-old daughter Haley was serving as a human paperweight to keep the box from falling off the vehicle (and careening down U.S. 431). While Knott explained that the box was too large to fit inside her van, it is unclear why she did not seek to simply flatten it in an effort to squeeze the box into her crowded vehicle. When stopped by cops, Knott, a Boaz, Alabama resident, noted that "the box was tied to the van with a clothes hanger," according to a police press release.

British Tourists Love Fucking

British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village effing and blinding by constantly stealing the signs for their oddly named village.

While British visitors are finding it hilarious, the residents of Fucking are failing to see the funny side.

Only one kind of criminal stalks the sleepy 32-house village near Salzburg on the German border - cheeky British tourists armed with a sense of humor and a screwdriver.

But the local authorities are hitting back with the signs now set in concrete, police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger is on the lookout.

"We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed," the officer said.

"It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."

Local tourist guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with Fucking.

"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," he explained. "Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg.) The occasional Japanese wants to see Hilter's birthplace in Braunau."

"But for the British, it's all about Fucking."

Guesthouse manager Augustina Lindelbauer described the village's breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas. "Yet still there is this obsession with Fucking," she said. "Just this morning I had to tell an English lady that there were no Fucking postcards."

We don't know how severe the stolen sign problem there really is, but Austria is indeed home to a town called 'Fucking' (48' 03"N 13' 51"E). Pronounced "fooking," the little hamlet of Fucking is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko.

This sign carries the hilarity even further: "Bitte - nicht so schnell!" is German for "Please - not so fast!" (Snopes.com)

Spokane Blows Up Problem Squirrels

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - The Finch Arboretum is being overrun by ground squirrels, and Spokane Parks and Recreation is bringing in some special artillery.

The agency is using a special machine called the Rodenator Pro to detonate some of the estimated 100 to 150 squirrels tearing up the grounds.

The Rodenator Pro pumps propane and oxygen into the tunnels of squirrels, then sends an electric spark that causes an explosion. The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels - but in a humane way, the agency said.

Spokanimal, which is the local animal shelter and Humane Society chapter, was caught by surprise by Monday's announcement.

"You're kidding," Director Gail Mackie said when she learned the news. "That borders on cruelty."

Mackie said she would investigate the practice.

The parks department is warning area residents that it plans to blast squirrels all week, and to not be alarmed by noises that sound like gun shots. Parks officials said police have already been called to the arboretum by people who heard the explosions.

Timing is crucial. Parks officials said they want to detonate their prey before the animals start reproducing.

Parks officials said ground squirrels have been a minor problem for years, but their population is, well, exploding.

The squirrels dig tunnels and holes that people can trip on or fall into, the agency said. They eat new tree roots, can spread disease and are spreading to neighboring yards.

Gas bombs were tried in the past, but were not effective, the agency said.

Enter the Rodenator, a product whose workings have been captured on numerous YouTube videos. The company is based in Midvale, Idaho, and promises on its Web site that its product is effective against the "saber-toothed gopher."

a Joke for Thursday

No Bell Piece Prize and the Pulletsurprise

Burt was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Burt's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover. To Burt's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Burt was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the District Fall Fair. The rooster became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
