Subj: Fw: Fw: don't buy gas at Exxon Or Mobil
Its Worth A Try and you don't have to sacrifice on gas - gas prices will come down
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit between $ 4 - $5 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action.
The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas .
It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work. Please read on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.08 at Arco and Costco for regular unleaded in Salem , Oregon and climbing every week.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.
The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers .
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!
(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am . so trust me on this one.
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Charlie Reese Orlando Sentinel last article
Subject: Charley Reese, his last column from the Orlando Sentinel
Charley Reese's Final Column
Charley Reese is retiring. Below here is a copy of his last column. I know many will miss this southern gentleman. He had a great run and we are all better off for it. Farewell, Mr. Reese, and thank you.
Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.
Be sure to read the list of Taxes at the end.
This column is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be - read it!! The article is completely neutral, not anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
555 PEOPLE --By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 555 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but PRIVATE, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton- picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 555 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits..... The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 555 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 555 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 555 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ...
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 555 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 555 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power..
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

What you do with this article now that you have read it......... Is up to you.
This might be funny if it weren't so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end: Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table, At which he's fed. Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid... Put these words Upon his tomb, Taxes drove me to my doom...' When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax..

Muslim belief
This has been around and around. The USA is in quicksand up to their waist and this "city on a hill" is going under. The muslims are rejoicing as they did while the World Trade Centers burned in New York. The land of the free and the home of the brave have been gravely and repeatedly attacked by the muslim 'heroes'.
Imagine your kids and grandkids living under sharia law. We
have a PUSA who has declared that if a showdown comes he will be on the side of the muslims. The liberals are more interested in political correctness than the freeedoms of our citizens.
Muslim Belief
This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry. The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose.
The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States, especially in the minority races!!!
Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven.. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar..'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Imam was speechless!
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me!
Let me ask you a question: Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is your chance to make a difference...
I'M SURE I DON'T HAVE TO ASK YOU TO SEND THIS ON!

FW- Buy American... Thanks Clay!
One Light Bulb at a Time
A physics teacher in high school, once told the
students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't
slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought
in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American ..
Good idea .. . . one light bulb at a time . . . .
Check this out . I can verify this because I was in Lowe's the other day for
some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose
attachments. They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace
Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose
attachments there. They were made in USA . Start looking ..
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects
someone else - even their job. So, after reading this email, I think this
lady is on the right track. Let's get behind her!
My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked
made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more.
My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico ... now
I have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything ..
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was
in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off-brand
labeled, "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats -
they were the same except for the price..
The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the
thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO
and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA in
a company in Cleveland , Ohio .
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that
are made right here..
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday Value
brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday
and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using
for years and at almost half the price!
My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the
job you save may be your own or your neighbors!
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so
we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying
from overseas companies!

Humor for the day... Thanks Joann Hensley!
Enjoy the humor!
He was in the six item express lane at the store quietly fuming. Completely
ignoring the sign, the woman ahead of him had slipped into the check-out line
pushing a cart piled high with groceries. Imagine his delight when the
cashier beckoned the woman to come forward, looked into the cart, and asked
sweetly, 'So which six items would you like to buy?'
Wouldn't it be great if that happened more often?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, an elderly man and his wife were told there would be a 45 minute wait for a table. 'Young
man, we're both 90 years old, ' the husband said ..'We may not have 45
minutes.' They were seated immediately.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The reason Politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would
'hate' to have to make a living under the laws they've passed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
All eyes were on the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the
aisle. They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her
father and placed something in his hand. The guests in the front pews
responded with ripples of laughter. Even the priest smiled broadly. As her
father gave her away in marriage, the bride gave him back his credit card.
------------------------------------------------------------
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Smith climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God.
Looking up, he asks the Lord... 'God, what does a million years mean to
you?'
The Lord replies, 'A minute.'
Smith asks, 'And what does a million dollars mean to you?'
The Lord replies, 'A penny.'
'Smith asks, 'Can I have a penny?'
'The Lord replies, 'In a minute.'

John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully. 'Give me one last request,
dear,' he said.
'Of course, John,' his wife said softly.
'Six months after I die,' he said, 'I want you to marry Bob.'
'But I thought you disliked Bob,' she said.
With his last breath John said, 'I do!'

A man goes to see the Rabbi. 'Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I
have to talk to you about it.'
The Rabbi asked, 'What's wrong?'
The man replied, 'My wife is poisoning me.'
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, 'How can that be?'
The man then pleads, 'I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what
should I do?'
The Rabbi then offers, 'Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I
can find out and I'll let you know.'
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "I spoke to her on the phone
for three hours. You want my advice?'
The man said yes and the Rabbi replied, 'Take the poison'

An Ode to the English Plural
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and there would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England. We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship...
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns down,
in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and
in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

FW- Here is something to think about... Thanks Judi Cole!
Here's something to think about . . . .
I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about
9 years old. I asked , "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"
Dad said he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955. We
were living in Louisiana at the time . Dad was in the army
there.
Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The
Cubans were asking the same question! Ike was president.
This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a
summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . Our dinner
conversation was starkly different than most.
This refugee came to the United States as a young
boy in the early 1960s. His family was more fortunate than
most as they were able to bring a suitcase and $100 when
they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.
Our dinner consisted of all-American fare:
hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon and fresh ears of sweet
corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends
nationwide, while celebrating the birth of our beloved
America on the Fourth of July.
We began with a simple discussion about our country
and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to
power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour
economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the
rulers in Washington .
But then he said it. The sentence came naturally.
I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a
freight train. "You know when Castro took power, none of us
knew he was a Communist."
We sat stunned. He continued, "Yes, we all thought
he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution he
didn't sound like a radical."
The comparison at this point was easy, and I
interjected, "You mean just like Barack Obama?"
He responded, "Yes, just like Barack Obama."
He continued, "We were all shocked as the government
just continued to grab more power. First they said the
revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all
complied."
"I remember my uncle saying after it started,
'Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries, he
will never come and take our family hardware store. 'But
that is exactly what happened, Castro started with the sugar
mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and
knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family
had run this store for generations. They said we now own
the hardware store, you work for us. And that nice, large
four-bedroom home you own, it is now our property also, and
you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of
the house because others are moving in with you."
The lesson learned from this discussion is a lesson
most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie
about their agenda and once in office they can take totally
unexpected turns.
If you had asked us three years ago if we thought
General Motors would be nationalized, we would have never
believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the
rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a
justice society would be evaporating just like it did in
Castro's Cuba in the early 1960s.
But the news of injustice keeps increasing. Black
Panthers are not charged with wrongdoing by the U.S.
Department of Justice because their crimes are against
whites. The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets
without due process by the government. Governmental leaders
are bribed in full daylight only to have all investigation
of the crimes stifled by the Attorney General. The U.S.
borders are overrun with crime and illegal activity and the
leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the
lawbreakers while the innocent are killed and overrun. When
local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are
ridiculed and threatened as racists and bigots. They are
sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing
the law.
Without the rule of law the U.S. Constitution is a
sham. Without the rule of law our beloved America is
swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and
politically powerful will be safe. As Michelle Malkin has
so eloquently explained in her recent book, a culture of
corruption has replaced honest government.
The only way this problem will be fixed is by
massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be
treated equally must come together and demand that the
favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law end
now. And yes, it can happen here.
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW ...
And may God save Us & The United States of America !
May your blessings out number the shamrocks that grow.

FW- Baptist dinner... Thanks Tom & Carolyn!
BAPTIST DINNER
A group of country friends from the Cottonwood Baptist Church wanted to get together on a regular basis, socialize, and play games.
The lady of the house was to prepare the meal. When it came time for Al and Janet to be the hosts - Janet wanted to outdo all the others.
Janet decided to have mushroom-smothered steak. But, mushrooms are expensive.
She then told her husband, "No mushrooms. They are too high."
He said, "Why don't you go down in the pasture and pick some of those mushrooms? There are plenty in the creek bed."
She said, "No, some wild mushrooms are poison."
He said, "Well, I see varmints eating them and they're OK.
So Janet decided to give it a try. She picked a bunch, washed, sliced, and diced them for her smothered steak.
Then she went out on the back porch and gave Ol' Spot (the yard dog) a double handful. Ol' Spot ate every bite.
All morning long, Janet watched Ol' Spot and the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him, so she decided to use them. The meal was a great success, and Janet even hired a helper lady from town to help her serve. She had on a white apron and a fancy little cap on her head.
After everyone had finished, they relaxed, socialized, and played 42 & Mexican dominoes.
About then, the helper lady from town, came in and whispered in Janet's ear. She said, "Mrs. Williams, Ol' Spot just died." Janet went into hysterics. After she finally calmed down, she called the doctor and told him what had happened.
The doctor said, "That's bad, but I think we can take care of it.
I will call for an ambulance and I will be there as quick as possible. We'll give everyone enemas and we will pump out everyone's stomach Everything will be fine. Just keep them calm."
Soon they could hear the siren as the ambulance was coming down the road. The EMTs & the doctor had their suitcases, syringes, and a stomach pump.
One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema and pumped out their stomach. After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, "I think everything will be fine now, and he left."
They were all looking pretty weak sitting around the living room and about this time, the helper lady came in and said,
"You know that fellow that ran over Ol' Spot never even stopped.Ñ‚
If Con is the opposite of Pro, is Congress the opposite of Progress?

All morning long, Janet watched Ol' Spot and the wild mushrooms didn't seem to affect him, so she decided to use them. The meal was a great success, and Janet even hired a helper lady from town to help her serve. She had on a white apron and a fancy little cap on her head.
After everyone had finished, they relaxed, socialized, and played 42 & Mexican dominoes.
About then, the helper lady from town, came in and whispered in Janet's ear. She said, "Mrs. Williams, Ol' Spot just died." Janet went into hysterics. After she finally calmed down, she called the doctor and told him what had happened.
The doctor said, "That's bad, but I think we can take care of it.
I will call for an ambulance and I will be there as quick as possible. We'll give everyone enemas and we will pump out everyone's stomach Everything will be fine. Just keep them calm."
Soon they could hear the siren as the ambulance was coming down the road. The EMTs & the doctor had their suitcases, syringes, and a stomach pump.
One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema and pumped out their stomach. After the last one was finished, the doctor came out and said, "I think everything will be fine now, and he left."
They were all looking pretty weak sitting around the living room and about this time, the helper lady came in and said,
"You know that fellow that ran over Ol' Spot never even stopped.Ñ‚

o's bipartison debt-reduction rec's ignored
After Obama, the Deluge
By Victor Davis Hanson
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com
President Obama established a bipartisan debt-reduction commission -- and then ignored its findings, which called for unpopular reductions in entitlements and across-the-board spending cuts. His first two budgets led to the largest deficits in U.S. history. The ensuing $3 trillion dollars in red ink prompted the Tea Party movement and led to the largest midterm defeat of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives since 1938.
No matter. The president has proposed a new budget with an even larger, $1.6 trillion deficit. That record federal borrowing prompted columnist Charles Krauthammer to describe it as Louis XV indulgence, an allusion to the wild royal spending that brought about the French Revolution. Even Newsweek editor at large Evan Thomas, who once gushed that Obama stood "above the world" as some "sort of God," called the president's new budget a "profile in cowardice." After Obama leaves office, a perfect storm of rising international interest rates, an anemic dollar and panic on the part of foreign lenders may force an end to this unhinged American rush to borrow and blow what it has not earned.
Gas prices in many parts of the country are nearing $4 a gallon; it could get even worse as unrest spreads throughout the oil-exporting Middle East. Yet the Obama administration once again seems to see no crisis. It has curtailed new leases for offshore oil exploration for seven years and exempted thousands of acres in the West from new drilling. It will not reconsider opening up small areas of Alaska with known large oil reserves.
Instead, the administration in 2009 pushed through cap-and-trade legislation in the House on the dubious proposition that, in times of unusually cold American winters, the planet is warming up. Accordingly, the administration would like to tax further the already high price of fossil fuels rather than go all out to look for more. Yet importing more oil from abroad and growing more subsidized biofuels at home will lead to a disastrous trifecta of borrowing even more money, ensuring greater global pollution and causing higher world food prices.
Obamacare -- the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- was pushed through the Senate in 2009 through backroom deal-making and special perks for fence-sitting senators. The premise was that it would save both patients and the nation billions of dollars. But updated estimates now suggest that the takeover of health care will cost the country about $2 trillion over the next decade while disrupting and making more costly existing health plans.
That worry may explain why the administration has quietly granted waivers from its own "affordable" plan to some 700 organizations covering 2 million workers -- 40 percent of them union members. Long after the president has left office, everyone else who is not so privileged to be exempted will have to live with the consequence of a cumbersome and costly new federal health bureau.
The president just weighed in on the Wisconsin budget deadlock, suggesting that Gov. Scott Walker was out to punish public-sector unions more than to figure out a way to close a $3 billion state deficit. But unlike the federal government, Walker cannot print money, and he cannot so easily raise taxes without losing residents who might flee to lower-tax states. That the president wants unions to know he is on their side is clear; that he cares how the people of Wisconsin are going to pay for sky-high public-employee wages, benefits and health care is not so evident.
In these lean times of nearly 10 percent unemployment and rapid hikes in gas and food prices, the president has chastised "fat cat" Wall Street bankers, the wealthy who jet to the Super Bowl, those who junket to Las Vegas, and in general suggested that strapped American families might wish to "sacrifice" and "put off a vacation." But in "let them eat cake" style, the first family seems tone-deaf to the potential symbolism of postponing its own exclusive vacations. Michele Obama just returned from skiing at an elite Vail, Colo., resort. Last summer in Marie Antoinette fashion, she jetted to Costa del Sol in Spain for a costly Mediterranean vacation. The rich playground at Martha's Vineyard, not Camp David, seems now to be the favorite presidential recession-era getaway spot.
Shortly after Barack Obama leaves office, we are all going to have to eat cake. Then a less eloquent president will have to balance budgets, pay off trillions in new debt, develop more energy, come up with a sane health-care policy, and in symbolic fashion have the first family share the sacrifice of a more mundane lifestyle.

JV team needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Nazr Mohammad played some JV and he is still in the NBA. Wasn't it Larry Brown who advised Coach Cal to have a JV team last season? The bench sitters referred to themselves as a very offensive piece of solid waste in Adolph's day. I, very personally, played softball until an injury sropped me at 75. I played on very fine local teams, but I would much prefer playing for a mediocre team over sitting for a Championship team. I count NO Kentucky basketball player ever as anything but blue chip. Today a lot of blue chippers populate this world, but ours have to do more than practice vs. our own starters or PT dandies. There is just too much parity to pretend otherwise.
I commented this, not to KSR, but to a small group of Kentucky fans I forward KSR and Aaron's UK basketball blog to each morning:
SamKat's comments:
UK basketball has traditionally been above reproach, like the classy ladies young boys wouldn't think could be "had". Tubby and Billy G, were 'ladies' who let the word out that UK basketball could be had, like certain celebrity sluts, and now all SEC teams want to invade the territory. Sad. Even Coach Cal felt he could make it with a thin squad. (Not at all so thin had the NCAA allowed Enes to play.) Not in this age of parity! Cal will have to work his recruiting ablities even harder to obtain a full roster IMHO. Jones, a blue chip blue chipper, looked absolutely 'tired and beat up' in last night's loss to Arkansas. It wiill be extra hard recruiting players who can't expect playing time, especially in early years. It is time to use a JV team again!

An uprising coming... Thanks Luis!
Count this 78 year old vet in the uprising troops! This has reportedly been around the internet several times.

"On Your Hands"
From the Podium:
J. D. Pendry, Retired Sergeant Major, USMC
FROM THE PODIUM
This retired USMC Sgt. Major has his Stuff together.
Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the "runner-in-chief..."
Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.
John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, and the same words you used to describe Vietnam . You're a fake! You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese.. Iraq , like Vietnam , is another war that you were for, before you were against it.
John Murtha, you said our military was broken... You said we can't win militarily in Iraq . You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa . Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt, and washed up old fool. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's X&XX.. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.
Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levin, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.
American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer...
You are America 's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam . If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.
Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it..
Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within...

AH- Thanks Lou Flores!
AH is funny; however, at this point in my life I hate to come down on the side of the law. We have many fine officers of the law, but I have been caught in a few speed traps and hate to see the red and blue lights behind any vehicle here in Ohio . Ohio is a speed trap state IMHO. To me it is another form of taxation in too many instances.
Sam
AH
That is one way to get your message across.
A police motorcycle cop stops a driver for running a red light. The driver is a real jerk, steps out of his car and comes strides toward the officer, demanding to know why he is being harassed by the Gestapo! So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. The motorist instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer's ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit terms.
The tirade goes on without the officer saying anything.
When the officer finishes writing the ticket he puts an "AH" in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the ticket. He then hands it to the 'violator' for his signature. The guy signs the ticket angrily, and when presented with his copy points to the "AH" and demands to know what it stands for.
The officer says, "That's so when we go to court, I'll remember that you're an asshole!"
Two months later they're in court. The 'violator' has a bad driving record and he is in danger of losing his license, so he hired a lawyer to represent him.
On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light.
Under cross examination the defense attorney asks; "Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the ticket that you issued to my client?"
Officer responds, "Yes, sir, that is the defendant's copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top."
Lawyer: "Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this ticket you don't normally make?"
"Yes, sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an "AH," underlined."
"What does the "AH" stand for, officer?"
"Aggressive and hostile, Sir."
"Aggressive and hostile?"
"Yes, Sir.”
"Officer, are you sure it doesn't stand for asshole?"
“Well, sir, you know your client better than I do.”
Thank God, praise God, live for God!

Jesus and the democrat
JESUS AND THE DEMOCRAT
(I don't care what party you like, this one's funny!!)
A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?"
The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.
The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus, over there?"
The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there honey! How's about getting me a cold mug of Miller Light?" He too looked across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there?
The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. "On my bill," he said loudly.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and did a series of back flips out the door.
Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling.
The Democrat jumped up and yelled,
"Don't touch me ... I'm collecting disability."

Is sex work or pleasure? Thanks T & C!
Subject: Is sex work or pleasure?
A Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing - the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled.
He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?"
A Major chimed in with 75-25%, in favor of work.
A Captain said it was 50-50%. A lieutenant responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time.
There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the PFC who was in charge of making the coffee. What was HIS opinion?
Without any hesitation, the young PFC responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure."
The colonel was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why.
"Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them."

George Will is an intelligent guy I mostly agree with in his political views. Today his column is headed:
Democrats are, indeed, the party of government. In his last paragraph, he states:
First , the Democrat Party is the party of governmant, no only because of it'd extravagant sense of government competence asnd proper scope, but also because the party base is government employees. Second, government employees have an increasingly adversarial relationship with the governed. Third, Obams's "move to the center" is fictitious.

FW- Sure does... Thanks John Bob Looney!
A man got on the bus with both of his front trouser pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful (you guessed it) blonde. The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets.
Finally, after many glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls."
The blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had said. After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"

the joys (NOT) of Muslim Women... Thanks Pat W!
Subject: Fw: Joys (NOT) of Muslim Women -
This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim.
This is not hearsay, and it will scare the life out of you.
Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end.
Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith, a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.
Even though a woman is abused, she cannot obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the West World ( America ), Muslim men are starting to demand Sharia Law so the wife cannot obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Sharia law.
By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Sharia Law.
Ripping the West in Two.
Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Sharia law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo , spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza .
When he died, he was considered a "Shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping Sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose Sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.
While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.
It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.
While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.
In twenty years, there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA … Dearborn Mich. is one... and there are others.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.... some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam… the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children, the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America .
This is your chance to make a difference...! Pass it on to your email list or at least those you think will listen.
Some of those I'm sending it to WILL NOT!
Put your head back under the covers so you can't see the boogieman!
"Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future only He can see."
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

A man was sick and tired
Of going to work every day
While his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went
Through so he prayed:
'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put
In 8 hours while my wife
Merely stays at home.
I want her to know what
I go through.
So, please allow her body to
Switch with mine for a day.
'
God, in his infinite wisdom,
Granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough,
The man awoke as a woman...
He arose, cooked breakfast
For his mate,
Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and picked
Up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners
And stopped at the bank
To make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put
Away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced
The check book.
He cleaned the cat's litter box
And bathed the dog..
Then, it was already 1 P.M.
And he hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry, vacuum,
Dust, And sweep and mop
The kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up
The kids and got into an argument
With them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and
Got the kids organized to do
Their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board
And watched TV while he
Did the ironing
At 4:30 he began peeling
Potatoes and washing
Vegetables for salad,
Breaded the pork chops
And snapped
Fresh beans for supper.
After supper,
He cleaned the kitchen,
Ran the dishwasher,
Folded laundry,
Bathed the kids, And put
Them to bed.
At 9 P.M. He was exhausted
And, though his daily chores
Weren't finished, he went to
Bed where he was expected to
Make love, which he managed
To get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke
And immediately knelt by the
Bed and said: -
Lord, I don't know what
I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my
Wife's' being able to stay
Home all day.
Please, Oh! Please,
Let us trade back.. Amen!'
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
'My son, I feel you have
Learned your lesson and
I will be happy to change
Things back to the way
They were.
You'll just have to wait
Nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night.'

Just thought this was sorta nice advice to share, even though forwards can be a little silly sometimes J
Feng Shui
This is without a doubt one of the nicest good luck forwards I have received. Hope it works for you -- and me!
Lotus Touts: You have 6 minutes

Politics and religion... Dawood Kahn's answer
My good friend and great Kentucky basketball fan, Dawood Kahn, has lived in the Middle East and visited all over the region for many years and is an intelligent, if a little rough around the edges in his language, analyst of the people. He speaks his mind.
Essentially I hear that the people we empower in our republic consistently take actions which alienate the people of the world as do certain Christians.
Sam,
I don't think that people around the world hate Americans or America or Christians.
What they hate is some of the actions of the American Government and the words and deeds of many Christians.
There are many Christians who run around burning Qu'rans or Books of Mormon or telling those who do not believe in Christianity (Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Agnostics, Mormons, Atheists) that they are going to hell for their belief systems. It's not only that. You have Christians who believe that their particular brand of Christianity is correct and that all others are wrong. Therefore, only they are going to heaven and all others are going to burn in hell. Christians are almost always oblivious to how much anger and resentment they create with their arrogance.
The Federal Government has a horrible record in the Middle East.
We enthroned the Shah in Iran. BIG MISTAKE.
We aided in the consolidation of power for the House of Saud. HUGE MISTAKE.
We have been funneling billions with a CAPITAL "B" to Mubarak for 3 decades. GARGANTUAN MISTAKE.
We subsidize the existence of Israel. Though, I'm a pro-Israel person, I have to wonder when they will be able to stand on their own. If they can never stand on their own, are they a viable nation? If a Nation can not exist on it's own, is it indeed a nation and not simply a welfare state extension of another stronger State.
How long do we support Israel in this manner? ETERNALLY???
We screwed the pooch on Israel. When we hosted the Camp David Accords, we had Sadat by the balls. He knew that he'd lost that war. Yet, Israel was willing to give him what he wanted in exchange for recognition and peace. We should have forced Egypt to take in all of the Palestinians. Mass exodus. They could have lived with Yassar Arafat in his gay lookin' pink house in the Sinai.
We have fought our wars there in a half assed manner. Instead of going in and massacring the bastards, scaring war out of their systems (like we did finally in the South during the War between the States and with Germany and Japan in WWII), we go in half assed and attempt to be their buddies. We want to win hearts and minds. Instead, we should be putting the fear of GOD (any God will do) into them and letting them know that we don't care about World Opinion. We care that you attacked us or are standing in the way of something that we want.
GO IN HARD! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THEM. Make them desire peace.
Instead, we skipped into Afghanistan as if the whole world was our peach. We went in hard in Iraq and then screwed it up by firing the whole of the Army and Police Forces. The only security apparatus that was viable. Those same guys decided that if America didn't want them, they didn't want America and turned into an insurgency. Bremer is the GREATEST ASS on the planet. Bremer is the author of the insurgency. The father of the Iraqi Insurgency. Bremer was a gift to al Qaeda. He was manna from heaven for Osama bin Laden.
We assisted Saddam Hussein in invading Iran and conducting a 10 year war against Iran. It was good for us. We approved. Hell, I approved. We should have nuked Qom over the Embassy debacle.
That war ended. Saddam invaded Kuwait due to a dispute over oil boundaries.
We decided that Kuwaiti Oil and Saudi Oil was more ally than Saddam's Iraq. We should have encouraged him to attack Saudi Arabia and to do a genocidal sweep of the Nejd.
We attacked Saddam. Not one year prior to that we were shipping Arms to Saddam.
Many of the Arms used by Saddam to attack Kuwait were provided by US Military Aid.
We used the Afghans in the '80s to fight the Soviets. They were nothing but tools. "We" won. We used the Afghans to bleed the Soviet Army out of Afghanistan. We gave the Soviets their Vietnam. I loved it. Still do.
BUT
Once we had no more use for the Afghans, we pulled out and said "F--k 'em."
We didn't assist them in any way. We allowed Saudi Arabia and it's Wahhabists to fill the void.
Over the next decade, the Taliban appears out of thin Pakistan ISI air.
Are you following this...
Now, having read all of that, you tell me.
You think on it and tell me why?
Why would peoples out there in the World distrust America or think that we are a capricious and heartless people? Why would we be distrusted?
To use your question, why would they hate us?
For the most part, they don't hate Americans. Most people whom I meet out in the World absolutely love Americans and the idea of America.
They abhor American policy such as the above.

Husband down art the Walmart... Thanks Clay!
Husband Down
A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.
The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans he replies.
'Put them back, we can't afford them demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband. 'It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.'

Why hate?... SamKat
Why are Christians hated?
Why are Americans hated?
Why are Terrorists hated?
Why are wahhabi Islamists hated?
Why are Muslims hated?
Why are Jews hated?
Why are the rich hated?
Why are the homeless hated?
Why are the Japanese hated?
Why are the Arabs hated?
Why are the Germans hated?
Why are the Russians hated?
Why are rival fans hated?
Etc., Etc., Etc.
Why do we give way to hate?
Suspected reasons
Jealousy
Envy
Defeat
Ignorance,
I checked a list of antonyms and selected over a hundred, not listed here. Antonyms or opposites, not synonyms or similarities, give way to hating. I immensely dislike the USA’s swing from right to left politics over the last decades, but I, and each of us, must analyze our reasons for our dislikes. We must seek out the good over the bad and what is good or bad may differ among us.

Mother's milk on Biology exam... Thanks Clay Vice!
Biology Class - Final Exam
Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The
last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk,' worth 70 points
or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven
advantages. He wrote:
1.) It is perfect formula for the child.
2.) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3.) It is always the right temperature.
4.) It is inexpensive.
5.) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6.) It is always available as needed.
And then, the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the
bell indicating the end of the test rang, he wrote...
7.) It comes in 2 cute containers.
He got an A.

Moving to KY Thanks Sarah Rapp!
Subject: Fw: moving to KY
A man and his wife, moved back home to Kentucky, from Indiana. The husband
had a wooden leg, and to get insurance on it back in Indiana it cost them
$2000 per year!
When they arrived in Kentucky, they went to an insurance agency to see
how much it would cost to insure his wooden leg.
The agent looked it up on the computer and said: '$39.'
The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in Kentucky to
insure it because it cost him $2000 in Indiana!
The insurance agent turned his computer screen to the couple and said,
'Well, here it is on the screen, it says: Any wooden structure, with a
sprinkler system above it is $39.
You just have to know how to describe it!'
(We HILLBILLIES know how "to git'er done"; don't we?)
