Joke of the Week

Tip O' the Hat to my Dad for this week's chuckle. I hope it brightens everyone's day.

The Amish are a "Non-violent" people!
or
IT PAYS TO KNOW GERMAN

An Amish Farmer walking through his field notices a man drinking from his pond with his hand.
The Amish Farmer shouts, "Trinken Sie nicht das Wasser, die Kuhe und die Schweine haben hineingeschissen!"
(Which means: "Don't drink the water, the cows and the pigs have shat in it!")
The man shouts back, "I am a government employee working directly for The President. I am too important to have been bothered to learn your language so I don't understand your gibberish. Speak English!"
The Amish Farmer shouts back in English, "Use two hands, you'll get more!"

Joke of the Week

Tip O' the Hat to my beautiful wife, Shelly, for sending this joke on to me. The comments in green are my addition. Enjoy.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. (Must be a Christian Democrat.)

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. (Hence The Chosen One's successes.)

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. (Actually I want to die after a particularly pleasant evening spent in the company of a twenty year-old redhead named Cindi and a bottle of Gran Patrón Burdeos.)

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a BMW. (Advice for the Chosen One?)

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list. (Something a particularly witty leftie said to me when he could not beat a logical argument by explaining how he "felt" about the topic.)

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. (Congress?)

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. (The end of that conversation I had with the witty leftie.)

We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public. (Well some of us. Liberals might want to take this one to heart.)

War does not determine who is right -- only who is left. (Something the terrorists understand and we have yet to learn.)

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. (This is the best description of why liberals do not understand PAYGo.)

The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. (That old saw about the early bird just proves that the worm should have stayed in bed. -Robert Heinlein)

Evening news is where they begin with "Good evening" and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. (Especially lately.)

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. (To steal from everyone makes you a congressman.)

A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. My desk is a work station. (Congress is where common sense stops.)

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? (I never have this problem, I use Boy Scout Juice.)

Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs. (Comment withheld to protect me from the Secret Service.)

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish. (So Long and Thanks for All the Fish)

I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks. (Something my wife told me the other day.)

A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it. (Useful huh?)

Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says"If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR." (Whenever I see next of kin, I always put down "Barbie".)

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. (Presidential Policy since January '09.)

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? (There is a white mark on my fleece pullover because of something like this.)

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut and still think they are sexy. (Correction, we think we are "Dead Sexy".)

Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman. (Congress again.)

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. (Or a psychopath.)

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. (Bounce or splash?)

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas! (And you are just jealous because they talk to me and not you.)

Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back. (Must be China.)

A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip. (And all this time I thought it was the art of saying "Good Doggie" while looking for a big stick. Huh, who knew?)

Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were. (Where I was raised it was, "especially when you wish they were.)

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. (Amen)

I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot. (Kind of like Grant on Mythbusters. (See the Shark Week Special))

Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go. (The Chosen One again.)

There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away. (IRS?)

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. (Well maybe not.)

I always take life with a grain of salt... plus a slice of lemon .... and a shot of tequila. (Gran Patrón Burdeos again.....yum!)

When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water. (I prefer Red Adair's method.....BOOM!)

You're never too old to learn something stupid. (Too many presidential speeches.)

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. (Or use a shotgun.)

Nostalgia .... it just isn't what it used to be. (Neither are the winters you get these days. Why, back in my day........)

A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it. (Kind of like a politician faced with the truth.)

If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child? (I must be slow, we are discussing a third.)

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. (Your purchase is pretty chancy too.)

Follow your dreams - all except the one where you are naked in church. (Especially if they are throwing little pickles at you.)

Corduroy Pillow Cases are making headlines lately. (Soooooooo bad!)

I like cats too, let's swap recipes. (MMMMMMMMMMMM! Vietnamese food!)

I Like Cooking With Wine, sometimes I even put it in the food. (But only sometimes!)

Dyslexics Have More nuf. (Says who?)

Sometimes too much to drink is STILL not enough. (There is no such thing as too much to drink, until you hit your thirties.)

I may be a schizophrenic, but at least I have each other. (Those little voices you are so jealous of again.)

In just two days, tomorrow Will be yesterday. (And two days ago, yesterday was tomorrow.)

Biden the Artist

There was some SNAFU with my voter registration this year so I had to go down to the County Elections Office. Having never been inside my county building I got a little lost and was wandering around. I passed by the Sheriff's civil office and noticed that there was a big cork-board outside just full of wanted posters. I stopped to looking them over when I noticed this one:


It blows my mind. I mean, I knew that the government had suddenly decided to declare the potato unhealthy, thus alienating America's potato farmers, a major food crop here in the Northwest by the way. I was also aware that the Feds want to tighten there grip on our lives by 0utlawing the humble potato from the public-dole system a.k.a. the Federal School Lunch Program, thus controlling what our kids can and can not eat. However, I was not aware that The Chosen One had let that moron Biden back into the crayon box. Apparently they also let him design the informational poster commanding us peasants that we are not to associate with the potato. Oh well, I guess it keeps him quit.

Election 2010: Ride the Conservative Wave

I just filled out my ballot over my lunch break. I am very excited for this election. Even though I doubt there is much we conservatives can do to roll back the tide of Socialism, we can at the very least gridlock The Idiot-in-Chief and defund his nonsense CommieCare bill. I also volunteer to buy him a Slurpee to sip when we put him in the back seat. Cherry or Coke flavored Mr. President?


American Patriot/Hero of the Week

Tip O' the Hat to Proof over at the Proof Positive blog for this week's hero.

Medal of Honor

First Lieutenant Charles P. Murray, Jr.

Citation:
For commanding Company C, 30th Infantry, displaying supreme courage and heroic initiative near Kaysersberg, France, on 16 December 1944, while leading a reinforced platoon into enemy territory. Descending into a valley beneath hilltop positions held by our troops, he observed a force of 200 Germans pouring deadly mortar, bazooka, machine gun, and small arms fire into an American battalion occupying the crest of the ridge. The enemy's position in a sunken road, though hidden from the ridge, was open to a flank attack by 1st Lt. Murray's patrol but he hesitated to commit so small a force to battle with the superior and strongly disposed enemy. Crawling out ahead of his troops to a vantage point, he called by radio for artillery fire. His shells bracketed the German force, but when he was about to correct the range his radio went dead. He returned to his patrol, secured grenades and a rifle to launch them and went back to his self-appointed outpost. His first shots disclosed his position; the enemy directed heavy fire against him as he methodically fired his missiles into the narrow defile. Again he returned to his patrol. With an automatic rifle and ammunition, he once more moved to his exposed position. Burst after burst he fired into the enemy, killing 20, wounding many others, and completely disorganizing its ranks, which began to withdraw. He prevented the removal of 3 German mortars by knocking out a truck. By that time a mortar had been brought to his support. 1st Lt. Murray directed fire of this weapon, causing further casualties and confusion in the German ranks. Calling on his patrol to follow, he then moved out toward his original objective, possession of a bridge and construction of a roadblock. He captured 10 Germans in foxholes. An eleventh, while pretending to surrender, threw a grenade which knocked him to the ground, inflicting 8 wounds. Though suffering and bleeding profusely, he refused to return to the rear until he had chosen the spot for the block and had seen his men correctly deployed. By his single-handed attack on an overwhelming force and by his intrepid and heroic fighting, 1st Lt. Murray stopped a counterattack, established an advance position against formidable odds, and provided an inspiring example for the men of his command.
1st. Lt. Charles P. Murray: We humbly salute you and thank you for your service.

Global Warming Wednesday

Tip O' the Hat to Ray Schneider at Political Brambles for this post on the growing skepticism in the pervasive Global Warming Idiocy. Just a thought.......If the computer models can only predict the weather out to five days or so with any kind of accuracy, what the hell makes these people think that their models are any good at a year, let alone twenty? Just sayin'!

Global Climate Alarmism Being Overwhelmed by Critical Thinking

SEE HERE Bunk is bunk. Global climate alarmism is totally unmotivated by serious science. That's why all the alarmists are climate modelers. It takes relatively little critical thought to realize that there are fundamental foundational problems with the whole story line. My mantra is always "Show me the data" and what I get for my trouble is fundamentally flawed, unvalidated climate models that in many cases are shown to be agenda driven and driven by data that was cherry picked from the beginning. That's called propaganda not science. The world is waking up and about time.
