Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur boldly slammed the bailout bill this past weekend as the work of criminal insiders who have shut down the normal legislative process to commit "high financial crimes" and defraud the American people, while Rep. Michael Burgess warns that "martial law" has been declared.

So...IF martial law has been declared...then it might be true..that we will not have an election...and Dictator Bush will remain in power...right?

This came in late tonight, but the pics are so spectacular...I just had to get it out to yuh!!!!

Virtual Scanning Electron Microscopy

When the tutorial is first loaded, the specimen is out of focus and brightness and contrast are not optimized. Use the Focus slider to achieve focus and the Contrast and Brightness sliders to optimize specimen appearance. Next, use the Magnification slider to slowly increase the magnification. Higher magnification images load in the background, so please be patient and allow some time for these images to download into your browser cache. Use the pull-down menu bar to change specimens. Each time a new specimen is loaded into the browser, the focus, brightness, and contrast controls are randomly reset to simulate the situation in a real microscope.

I'm against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in a We Deserve
It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S.
Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child.
So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000, 000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who
lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting
back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is
being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S
Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington
DC .

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5
Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

Birk

T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a
laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

The Environmental Protection Agency says there is no need to act on the fact that a toxic rocket fuel ingredient, which has been proven to lead to a loss of IQ and an increase in behavioral and perception problems, has long been present in drinking water across the U.S.

10. Stanford Prison Experiment

The Stanford prison experiment was a psychological study of human responses to captivity, and its behavioral effects on both authorities and inmates. Undergraduate volunteers played the roles of both guards and prisoners living in a mock prison. Prisoners and guards rapidly adapted to their roles, and soon stepped beyond the boundaries of what had been predicted, leading to dangerous and psychologically damaging situations.

9. The Monster Study

The Monster Study was an experiment conducted on 22 orphan children in 1939. Half of the children were given positive speech therapy, in which the fluency of their speech was praised. The other half were belittled for every speech imperfection and told they were stutterers. Many of the normal speaking orphan children who received negative therapy suffered negative psychological effects and some retained speech problems during the course of their life.

8. Project 4.1

Project 4.1 was a medical study conducted by the United States of residents of the Marshall Islands exposed to radioactive fallout from the nuclear test at Bikini Atoll. In the decades that followed, children began to suffer disproportionately from thyroid cancer (due to exposure to radioiodines), and almost a third of those exposed developed neoplasms. A Department of Energy report concluded that, "The dual purpose of what is now a DOE medical program has led to a view by the Marshallese that they were being used as ‘guinea pigs' in a ‘radiation experiment.'"

7. Project MKULTRA

Project MKULTRA, or MK-ULTRA, was the code name for a CIA mind-control research program. There is much published evidence that the project involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function. Experiments included administering LSD to CIA employees, military personnel, doctors, other government agents, prostitutes, mentally ill patients, and members of the general public in order to study their reactions. LSD and other drugs were usually administered without the subject's knowledge or consent.

6. The Aversion Project

South Africa's apartheid army forced white *** and gay soldiers to undergo 'sex-change' operations in the 1970s and the 1980s, and submitted many to chemical castration, electric shock, and other unethical medical experiments. As many as 900 forced 'sexual reassignment' operations may have been performed as part of a top-secret program to root out homosexuality from the service.

5. North Korean Experimentation

There have been many reports of North Korean human experimentation. One former North Korean woman prisoner tells how 50 healthy women prisoners were forced to eat poisoned cabbage leaves. All 50 were dead after 20 minutes of vomiting blood and anal bleeding. Kwon Hyok, a former prison head of security at Camp 22, described laboratories equipped respectively for poison gas, suffocation gas and blood experiments, in which three or four people, normally a family, were the experimental subjects.

4. Poison Laboratory of the Soviets

The Poison laboratory of the Soviet secret services, also known as Laboratory 1, Laboratory 12 and "The Chamber," was a covert poison research and development facility. The Soviets tested a number of deadly poisons on prisoners, including mustard gas, ricin, and digitoxin.

3. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Nearly 400 poor African American sharecroppers were denied treatment for syphilis so that the effects could be examined. This study became notorious and led to major changes in how patients are protected in clinical studies.

2. Unit 731

Unit 731 was a covert biological and chemical warfare research unit of the Imperial Japanese Army. Some of the numerous atrocities committed included vivisection of living people, including pregnant women who were impregnated by the doctors, limbs amputated and reattached, and humans used as living test cases for grenades and flame throwers. Prisoners were also injected with strains of diseases to study their effects.

1. Nazi Experiments

Medical experimentation was conducted on large numbers of people by the German Nazi regime in its concentration camps during World War II. Dr. Josef Mengele performed experiments on over 1,500 sets of imprisoned twins; fewer than 200 individuals survived these studies. The tests ranged from the injection of different chemicals into the eyes of the twins to see if it would change their colors, to literally sewing the twins together in hopes of creating conjoined twins. Other experiments included forcing subjects to endure a tank of ice water for up to three hours to test hypothermia treatments, and infecting wounds with bacteria to test antibacterial treatments.

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

This ink was most amazing
Dark black upon his blotter
But as it touched the parchment
It became as clear as water
The angel kept on writing
But as quickly as a wink
The words were disappearing
With that strange eternal ink

The angel took no notice
But kept writing on and on
He turned each page and filled it
Till all its space was gone
I thought he wrote to no avail
His efforts were so vain
For he wrote a thousand pages
That he'd never read again

And as I watched and wondered that
This awesome sight was mine
I actually saw a word stay black
As it dried upon the line
The angel wrote and I thought I saw
A look of satisfaction
At last he had some print to show
For all his earnest action

A line or two dried dark and stayed
As black as black can be
But strangely the next paragraph
Became invisible to see
The book was getting fuller
The angel's records true
But most of it was blank with
Just a few words coming through
I knew there was some reason
But as hard as I could think
I couldn't grasp the significance
Of that eternal ink

The mystery burned within me
And I finally dared to ask
The angel to explain to me
Of his amazing task
And what I heard was frightful
As the angel turned his head
He looked directly at me
And this is what he said
I know you stand and wonder
At what my writing's worth
But God has told me to record
The lives of those on Earth

The book that I am filling
Is an accurate account
Of every word and action
And to what they do amount
And since you have been watching
I must tell you what is true
The details of my journal
Are the strict accounts of YOU

The Lord asked me to watch you
As each day you worked and played
I saw you as you went to church
I saw you as you prayed
But I was told to document
Your life through all the week
I wrote when you were proud and bold
I wrote when you were meek
I recorded all your attitudes
Whether they were good or bad
I was sorry that I had to write
The things that make God sad
So now I'll tell the wonder
Of this eternal ink

For the reason for its mystery
Should make you stop and think
This ink that God created
To help me keep my journal
Will only keep a record
Things that are eternal
So much of life is wasted
On things that matter not
So instead of my erasing
Smudging ink and ugly blot

I just keep writing faithfully and
Let the ink do all the rest
For it is able to decide
What's useless and what's best
And God ordained that as I write
Of all you do and say
Your deeds that count for nothing
Will just disappear away
When books are opened someday
As sure as heaven is true

The Lord's eternal ink will tell
What mattered most to you
If you just lived to please yourself
The pages will be bare
And God will issue no reward
For you when you get there
In fact you'll be embarrassed
You will hang your head in shame
Because you did not give yourself
In love to Jesus' Name

Yet maybe there will be a few
Recorded lines that stayed
That showed the times you truly cared
sincerely loved and prayed
But you will always wonder
As you enter heaven's door
How much more glad you would have been
If only you'd done more
For I record as God sees
I don't stop to even think
Because the truth is written
With God's eternal ink

A check ride ought to be like a skirt.
Short enough to be interesting, but long enough to cover everything.

Speed is life.
Altitude is life insurance.

It only takes two things to fly:
Airspeed, and money.

The three most dangerous things in aviation:
1. A Doctor or Dentist in a Cessna.
2. Two captains in a DC-9.

Aircraft Identification:
If it's ugly, it's British.
If it's weird, it's French.
If it's ugly and weird, it's Russian.

Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another very expensive flying club.

The similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?
If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies.
If ATC screws up, the pilot dies.

It's better to break ground and head into the wind than to break wind and head into the ground.

The difference between flight attendants and jet engines is that the engines usually quit whining when they get to the gate.

New FAA motto:
'We're not happy, till you're not happy.'

If something hasn't broken on your helicopter--it's about to.

I give that landing a 9 . . on the Richter scale.

Basic Flying Rules:
1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
2. Do not go near the edges of it.
3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly in the edges.

A night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities to experience all three at the same time.

We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special'
was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'

'Then, I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents
because you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her.

'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.

'YES!!' stated the waitress.

'I'll take the special then.' my wife said.

'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.

'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied.

She took the two eggs home.

DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!

WE'VE been around the block more than once!

One cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

One cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

One cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

One cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

One cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.

One cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

--Abraham Lincoln in 1858---

The lessons of history are too easily forgotten,
if ever learned.

1. Go to a second-hand store or yard-sale and buy a pair of men's well-used size 14-16 work boots.

2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty crushed beer cans, a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines.

3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.

4. Use your PC to print and leave a note on your front and back door , when you go out, that reads:

"Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Will be back in a few minutes. Don't mess with the pit bulls -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood. The police said they're sending a detective to take pictures and write up some kinda report.

Loaded up with cold beer and Wild Turkey - we'll have a blast when I git back!

PS - I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside till I git back."

You are aware, probably, that Barack Hussein Obama lost his bearings recently and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states.

You heard this? And everybody chalked it up to, 'Well, he's tired.'

You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells 'potato,' and we still hear jokes about it.

Barack Hussein O'bama says he's gonna go out and campaign in 57 states, he was just tired, you know, it's been such a long campaign, he's been so many places, he probably thinks there are 57 states.

Well, I have here a printout from a web site called the International Humanist and Ethical Union .
And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins.

'Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference representing the '57 Islamic states' presented a resolution to the United Nations Commission on human rights .'

Obama said he's going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states....There are 57 Islamic states!

So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip, ladies and gentlemen?

An Update on the Casa D' Ice Address on America

I felt it necessary to follow up on the Casa D'Ice Address on America (included below in this email) after receiving many Emails from people who did not understand the message. Two score and 18 years ago brings us back to 1950 a few years after World War II when we were without a doubt the greatest and most powerful country on earth. We led in technology, economics, education, military and the list goes on and on. Remember brave men and women fought and died to make this country FREE and GREAT. Immigrants came here legally with their families, brought their trades, worked hard and assimilated to the American culture (exactly what today's ILLEGAL'S refuse to do). That was their contribution and thanks for the opportunity to pursue a better life. Back in the 50's-60's & 70's companies grew and that resulted in more American jobs and expansion meant more plant openings in other cities not other countries. We then gave foreign countries our technology and the migration of jobs and businesses moved overseas. So while our government opens the flood gates for the loss of American jobs, and permitting companies to move overseas coupled with not protecting our borders from ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that want welfare, a free ride and maintain their culture without any attempt to adapt to the country that they so desperately fled to. Our government views all of this as global economy. Personally I see this as the beginning of another third world country. While we sell off our highways and other infrastructure to foreign countries we also get deeper and deeper in debt to them. I receive so many Emails from veterans that feel betrayed because the direction our country is going is NOT what they fought for. While our government allows, permits and tolerates the influx of illegal's that don't want to assimilate and adapt to our culture would be the same as breeding a pedigree champion and a mutt, the resulting litter wouldn't be worth much. I guess many would consider that comparison cruel and ignorant, but the reality is that is FACT and TRUTH. If the truth hurts then you should be addressing it.

It's always darkest before dawn.
So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper,
that's the time to do it.

A president's pension currently is $191,300.00 per year (tax free), until he is 80 years old. Plus free medical, travel, home office expenses, and 24/7 Secret Service protection. The pension may change: Bush has requested an increase to $275,000.00 a year to keep up with the ‘cost of living' and higher energy and food costs.

Assuming the next president lives to age 80, Sen. McCain would receive ZERO dollars in pension, as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.

Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $7,150,00 in pension payments.

Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

How's that for non-partisan thinking ?

Now you have a clear choice: The 'frying pan' or the fire!

Pass it on... http://www.macsmind.com/wordp...

This is absolutely shocking & reprehensible. He plans to unilaterally disarm our nation. The question is... for what? And more specifically, for whom ?!!!!!!!!

Evidence that the planet is tip-toeing towards the onset of a new mini ice age continues to present itself following unprecedented ice storms in Kenya as well as Sydney experiencing its coldest August for 60 years. But don't worry because according to the World Wildlife Fund, global cooling can just as easily be blamed on CO2 emissions as can global warming.

Why didn't the prisoners in that ward get sick? It turns out that the doctor in that ward was doing something the other doctors weren't: He was giving the prisoners daily doses of vitamin D.

Yes, vitamin D. We've known for years that vitamin D protects you against a whole host of illnesses, including osteoporosis and cancer. But recent research shows that vitamin D protects you against infections, too. That's because vitamin D stimulates your body to make a powerful germ-fighting substance called cathelicidin. And some scientists believe that cathelicidin just might be the most powerful natural antibiotic ever discovered!

It all makes sense. We know that our bodies make less vitamin D in the winter because there's less sunlight. So the reason we get sick in the winter has nothing to do with the cold; it has to do with the fact that our vitamin D levels are lower!

( I take the D3...it's 1000MG, but not the oil variety, so never an overdose...the 400IU recommended by medical assn. was a minimum and set back in the 40's before they had the information available today, and I haven't had a cold in 20 years!!)

An elderly gentleman...
Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100% The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'
The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: 'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm jus t full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?'
Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know... The one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'

A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember .

Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure.'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so's not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs. She stares at the plate for a moment. 'Where's my toast ?'

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'
'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Well, then, is she good in bed?'
'I don't know.'
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then ?'
'Because she can still drive!'

Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, 'Windy, isn't it?'
Second one says, 'No, it's Thursday!'
Third one says, 'So am I. Let's go get a beer.'

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.
A couple of days later, the doctor spoke to Morris and said, 'You're really doing great, aren't you?'
Morris replied, 'Just doing what you said, Doc: 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.''
The doctor said, 'I didn't say that. I said, 'You've got a heart murmur; be careful.'

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'

The more one prays the more one wishes to pray .

The Senility Prayer


God grant me the senility to forget
the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones that I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.




Now that I'm "older"
(but refuse to grow up),
I'll share some things I've discovered:

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran.

I finally got my head together;
now my body is falling apart.

Funny, I don't remember being absent minded. . .

All reports are in; life is now officially unfair.

If all is not lost, where is it?

It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

Some days you're the dog;
some days you're the hydrant.

I wish the buck stopped here;
I sure could use a few . . .

Kids in the back seat cause accidents.

Accidents in the back seat cause...kids.

It's hard to make a comeback when
you haven't been anywhere.

The only time the world beats a path
to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

If God wanted me to touch my toes,
he would have put them on my knees.

When I'm finally holding all the cards,
why does everyone decide to play chess?

It's not hard to meet expenses. . .
they're everywhere.

The only difference between a rut
and a grave is the depth.

These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the
hereafter . . . I go somewhere to get something and
then wonder what I'm here after.

I am unable to remember if I have mailed this to you
or not and I doubt if you can either!

God speaks to us each day by his good inspirations

Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, 'Why are you throwing those nails away?'

Carol explained, 'When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head on the wrong end, and I throw them away.'

Donna got completely upset and yelled, 'You moron! Those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house.

A blonde hurried into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off.

'How did this happen?' the emergency room doctor asked her.

'Well, I was trying to commit suicide,' the blonde replied.

'What?' sputtered the doctor. 'You tried to commit suicide by shooting off your finger?'

'No, Silly,' the blonde said, 'first I put the gun to my chest, and then I thought, I just paid $6, 000.00 for these implants. I'm not shooting myself in the chest.'

'So then?' asked the doctor.

'Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought, 'I just paid $3,000.00 to get my teeth straightened. I'm not shooting myself in the mouth.'

'So then?' asked the doctor.

'Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: 'This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in my other ear before I pulled the trigger.

A blonde was driving home after a game, and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop.

The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her to go home and blow into the tailpipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out.

So the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees, and started blowing into her tailpipe. Nothing happened. So she blew a little harder, and still nothing happened.

Her blonde roommate saw her, and asked, 'What are you doing?'

The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tail pipe in order to get all the dents to pop out.

The roommate rolled her eyes and said, 'Uh, like hello! You need to roll up the windows first.'

========================= =================

Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie? They had gone to see 'Closed for the winter'.

========================= ================

A blonde was shopping at Target, and came across a shiny silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to ask what it was.

The clerk said, 'Why, that's a thermos ... it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold.'

'Wow, said the blonde, 'that's amazing ... I'm going to buy it!' So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. 'What's that?' he asked.

Why, that's a thermos ... it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold,' she replied.

Her boss inquired, 'What do you have in it?'

The blond replied .. 'Two popsicles and some coffee.'

========================= =================

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss asked sympathetically, 'What's the matter?'

The blonde replies, 'Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away.'

The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, 'Why don't you go home for the day? Take the day off to relax and rest.'

'Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it, and I have the best chance of doing that here.'

The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. A couple of hours pass, and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out from his office, and sees the blonde crying hysterically. 'What's so bad now? Are you going to be okay?' he asks.

'No,' exclaims the blonde, 'I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too!'

ST. PAUL, Minn. - As the Republican National Convention opens here, one thing has become clear: John McCain is both a master politician and genuine.
In choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate, McCain wooed women voters to his side, lent sparkle to his own persona, and created excitement and media buzz about his candidacy. In selecting a vice presidential candidate with impeccable conservative credentials, he energized conservatives who were lukewarm about his run and now say they will work for him.
As Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, tells me, the choice of Palin was a "brilliant move." He adds, "Surprising decisions are rarely wise decisions. This was both. A solid Reagan Republican. Good on taxes, spending, reform, guns, traditional values. A tax cutting mayor, governor. The Republican party is doing the right thing to get its brand back."
Most important, in demonstrating that he is true to his conservative voting record, McCain showed that he is the real thing.
In contrast, when Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, there was a disconnect between many of the sentiments he expressed and his own record and previous positions during the primaries.
Suddenly, we heard that Obama would eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and would cut taxes on 95 percent of working families. While calling for an end to partisan bickering, he engaged in partisan attacks throughout much of his speech. Suddenly, Obama was for oil drilling as a "stop-gap measure." Suddenly, he was full of praise for America, its soldiers, and its values.
That is not the Obama who sat for 20 years in the pews of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.'s church, where the pastor said America created the AIDS virus to kill off blacks.
"Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run," Wright said. "America is still the No. 1 killer in the world."
Nor were Obama's comments consistent with Michelle Obama's statement that, for the first time in her adult life, she is proud of her country.
In the end, that disconnect could be Obama's undoing. The real Barack Obama is not the moderate we heard in Denver. The real Obama is illuminated by his own record.
In picking a diaper-changing, gun-toting former beauty queen, McCain, on the other hand, made a decision consistent with his own track record. While Palin lacks experience, she has a string of real accomplishments to show for herself.
As a mayor, she cut property taxes 40 percent and reduced her own salary. She came across as forceful, a trait that attracted the leaders of Alaska's Republican Party. They arranged for her to be appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2003.
Just after joining the commission, Palin led an ethics probe of the commission's chairman, Randy Ruedrich, who was also the state GOP chairman. Facing conflict-of interest-allegations, Ruedrich admitted ethics violations and resigned.
As governor, she opposed a federal earmark for the $400 million so-called bridge to nowhere. She used her veto power to cut nearly $2 billion from the state budget. She was successful in enacting ethics reform legislation. While pushing to develop more energy resources, she increased taxes on oil production, saying the companies had bribed legislators to keep taxes low. That will enable her to deliver a rebate of $1,200 to each state resident.
In contrast, Obama has virtually no accomplishments beyond getting himself elected. While he often talks about his work as a community organizer, he never achieved his one goal-eliminating asbestos from a single housing project in Chicago.
In both the Illinois Senate and the U.S. Senate, Obama developed a reputation for voting "present," thus avoiding controversial decisions that could be used against him later. In the U.S. Senate, he has missed more than one in five votes. Only one of the measures Obama has sponsored as a U.S. senator was enacted: a bill to "promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
Contrary to Obama's portrayal of himself as a unifier, on every bipartisan effort in the Senate to forge compromises on tough issues, Obama has been missing in action.
When it comes to change, Palin has done it; Obama has mainly changed his mind.
In the end, people make their decisions on whom to vote for based in large part on character. They want to know if the candidate is the genuine article. In choosing Palin, McCain demonstrated that he is.

With a 95% approval rating and consistantly 80%sounds pretty good to me, though I have heard the "left wing" say "she is just from a small town". I say hooray!!!!there are a few of us in the United States from small towns. It might be a plus, not a minus.

After much of back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Montana . There were to be no observers present and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties.

At the end of the first day, John McCain returned to the starting line and he had ten fish. Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none. That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, 'Barack, I think McCain is a low-life, cheating son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'

The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Harry Reid says to Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is h e cheating?'

Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but that cheating scum is cutting holes in the ice.'

Experience Counts
