You Gotta Laugh...

I enjoy old humor and in these times we must not lose our sense of humor so here are some quotes from one of my favorites, W.C. Fields:
A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
Abstaining is favorable both to the head and the pocket.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake.
Anyone who hates children and animals can't be all bad.
Hell, I never vote for anybody, I always vote against.
Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.
I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally.
I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.
Hopefully these made you smile.

Obama is Brilliant

For those who think Obama is an idiot, I beg to differ. He has effectively become president of the US without having any experience to draw upon, making even Carter look vastly more prepared for the office. But... he is accomplishing what he has set out to do. Consolidate power in the executive branch, render the supreme court subservient, and push through much of his agenda. He is aware of the backlash against his policies, and is using this as a tool to keep himself in power. Look, if the republicans are able to gain seats in the House or Senate, and possibly control one of them, in 2011 Obama can again do what he does best. Campaign. He is a brilliant campaigner. He will be able to point at "obstructionist" republicans and blame them for stopping his agenda halfway through his first term. And the cowardly republicans, not wanting to offend, will splutter and make excuses, because the republicans will not be the ones to stop Obama and his horrible agenda. It is the productive, responsible people of the US who will have stopped Obama's agenda and these people are not his constituents, any way. Obama used mob rule (democracy) to force and intimidate himself into power and fully intends to do so again. Once this election cycle is over you will see the Obama administration forcing through an illegal immigrant amnesty bill, probably with help from republicans like McCain and Graham, and then all those new 'citizens' will be registered to vote and guess for whom? No, Obama is not an idiot, he is a Machiavellian genius, much like Mussolini, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Castro. Stock up now, on beans and bullets, you will need them. Molon labe!!!

New Orleans and Nashville

The media is full of reports on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's damage to New Orleans. Five years have passed and we still hear more about New Orleans than the May 2010 floods that devastated Nashville and surrounding areas, merely four months ago. Why is that? Could it be that Nashville did not cry out for help? Could it be that there was no looting? Could it be that there was no local police disarming honest citizens? Could it be that there was no police shooting of citizens? Could it be that taking responsibility for yourself and your community does not make 'good news'? Interesting questions all, but I was sent a link to a youtube video that I found very enlightening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFjaQoOdJvI See what you think.
