I have to wonder what direction this country is headed in when someone with no political experience gains the nomination of a major political party.

I lost a dear old friend to lung cancer this week and now my worst fears have come true. A person with no idea of what is going on this country has gotten the democratic nomination. I understand how frustrated  people like myself are with the direction Bush has taken this country but OMG how can anyone think a wet behind the ears politician can turn things around.  This country needs strong leadership and a firm hand say someone like Colin Powell.  An honest hard working man who has proven his leadership in service to this country.

God please deliver us from the evil that is Barrack Obama, save the nation you once smiled on.

If Hillary tosses in the towel and agrees to back BO, and he becomes President, what will she want in return?  Not the veep - the voters, the party, and BO probably wouldn't stand for that, and in eight years, she'll be too old to run for the presidency again.  

So, what would this power hungry woman settle for?  If BO is elected, the House and Senate will surely be Democrat controlled and BO can pay Hillary off big time by nominating her for the Supreme Court.  Remember, John Paul Stevens is 88 years old.

The Republicans will have no way of stopping it.  This woman would then be able to rain havoc on our Republic for the rest of her life, and do more damage than she ever could do as President.

Sleep tight...

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.  Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place .......smack his ass again!' 

I am about 20% or so German.  This link was sent to me by a friend and I thought it was interesting it would make me consider going out again at lunch.  I know the waiter is trying to make light conversation but at lunch time I am so pressed that the quicker I can get in and out the better.  http://tinyurl.com/6ap2lx

Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock 40 cal., and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
........................................................

Democrat's Answer:(read Obama)

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or the Hollow Points?'
Son: 'Can I shoot the next one?'

Wife: 'You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!'

Relationships both personal and professional are something we have all struggled with from time to time in our lives.  At one time or another someone you think you can trust betrays your trust and in such a way that it hurts very deeply.  Under most circumstances if the relationship is something of value, you can forgive the offending party and after working it out it actually strengthens the relationship.  

Then there are those times when either the nature of the offense or the conditions under which it occurred are not forgivable.  When this happens to me, it usually means that level trust is damaged to the point that I am unlikely to expend the effort to try and repair the relationship.  There have been a few exceptions to this my past but, as I have gotten older this happens less and less.  Maybe it is just me changing or maybe it is me finally wising up to the fact that if this person did this once they may do it again and are not worthy of the trust I had given them.  In that case the relationship was not all I had thought it was and it is best to let it go.  

Recent events have made take a long hard look at all my relationships and reevaluate them.  In the cases where major damage has been done I have decided that I am not willing to expend the effort to fix these relationships but instead scale back or completely cut off those relationships and refocus that energy.  This unused energy is then put towards making the remaining relationships stronger.   Sometimes on the rare occasions I have sought out new relationships and applied the lessons learned in the hope of making these new ones immune to this kind of damage and saving me from future anguish.

OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,  building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
 
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
 
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

**************************************************************************************************************************************
 
MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
 
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be  warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
 
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp  contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so ?
 
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
 
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ants' house where on the scene reporters film the group singing, 'We shall  overcome.' Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
 
Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama claim in an interview with Larry King that ants have gotten rich off the backs of the grasshoppers, and both call for an immediate tax hike on all ants to make them pay their fair share.
 
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
 
The ant is now fined for having failed to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
 
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
 
The ant loses the case.
 
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's former home, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
 
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
 
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident  and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who  terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
 
 
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008! 

A little boy walks into his parents' room to see his mom on top of his dad
bouncing up and down. the mom sees her son and quickly dismounts, worried
about what her son has seen. She dresses quickly and goes to find him.

The son sees his mom and asks, "What were you and Dad doing?"

The mother replies, "Well, you know your dad has a big tummy and sometimes
I have to get on top of it and help flatten it."

"Your wasting your time," said the boy.

"Why is that?" the mom asked puzzled.

"Well when you go shopping the lady next door comes over and gets on her
knees and blows it right back up."

Three Things to Ponder:
1.  Cows
2.  The Constitution
3.  The Ten Commandments

COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington ? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

THE  CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them
ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:  You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.
