Hippinesss

You are 19% hippie.

You're not in the lowest bracket of non-hippie-hood, but you're close. I advise a field trip to a food co-op or a farmer's market. Do a few interviews and take notes, because there will be a quiz next week to see if you've learned anything.

Are you a hippie?

California vs. Texas

2010-06-06T21:39:00.001-05:00

California :

Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks dog.

#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

#2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

#6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease.

#8. Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack and for letting the Governor intervene.

#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.

#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.

Texas :

#1. Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has spent
$0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Buzzards eat dead coyote.

And you wonder why California is broke????

Thank You!!!

2010-05-31T20:03:00.002-05:00

I just want to offer my heartfelt thanks to all those who serve or who served in our military past and present. "Thank you!!" and a crisp hand salute!!

The densest element in the known Universe has been found!

2010-04-08T19:53:00.000-05:00

The densest element in the known Universe has been found!

Pelosium:

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium. Pelosium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.

These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

The symbol of Pelosium is PU.

Pelosium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientist to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates CNNadnausium, an element that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons as Pelosium.

Tea Parties

2010-01-16T19:05:00.005-06:00

Once again Sgt. Mom nails it. This time in regard to the way Tea Partiers are treated in the MSM and by most incumbent politicians of either party. It may not be this year, but we will be heard.

Update: Edited to correct errors in spelling and labeling.

Pearl Harbor Day

2009-12-07T17:56:00.004-06:00

December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy" . Never forget. Others have commented on this more eloquently than I am able to.

Some say we don't have the same quality of men and women as those of the "greatest generation". I have met many of those men and women personally and many more online and have heard the stories of many more and I believe the quality of people we have serving today matches any in our history. But they need our support.

I Love It!!!

Firearms Refresher Course

2009-09-15T21:52:00.005-05:00

I got this from my trusty veterans' online group:

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

1. "Those who hammer their guns into plows will

plow for those who do not." ~Thomas Jefferson

2. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

--John Adams

3. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

4. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a

subject.

5. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens

tries to control them.

6. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

7. You only have the rights you are willing to fight

for.

8. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns,

no peace, no safety.

9. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

10. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

11. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one

yesterday.

12. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All

Rights Reserved.

13. The Second Amendment is in place in case

the politicians ignore the others.

14. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you NOT

understand?

15. Guns have only two enemies; rust and

politicians.

16. When you remove the people's right to bear

arms, you create slaves.

17. The American Revolution would never have

happened with gun control.

IF YOU AGREE, PASS THIS 'REFRESHER' ON TO TEN FREE CITIZENS.

Update: Edited format and fixed typo.

On the subject of Edward Kennedy's death, I agree with The Pistolero,that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.

Important Technical Advice To Improve Your Computer

2009-08-14T20:19:00.002-05:00

I got this from one of the online veterans' groups I belong to:

Some people do not realize why their computer screens tend to accumulate a layer of dust. (It is due to the generation of static electricity.) But most people clean their computer screen from time to time by wiping the dust off with a rag when the accumulation of dust gets to the point that it is annoying. What many people do not realize is that the static causes a thin film to build up on the inside of the screen, as well. (It's why old computer screens aren't as sharp as new ones.)

Fortunately, a newly released, but unpublicized, utility included in your operating system's latest automatic update solves this problem. To activate this just click here . You will be delighted with the new clarity of your screen.

Woodstock

2009-08-07T20:13:00.003-05:00

Peter reminded me that the fortieth anniversary of Woodstock is coming up on the 15th of this month. I mentioned this to my sweetie and then made the observation "It's a wonder so many of us are still alive." And I mean attendees, wannabe attendees, those who wish they had been there, and those who don't really care.

Peter asked "What were you doing during Woodstock?"

I was in the Air Force at Offutt AFB in Omaha, NE.

Where were you?

Update: Corrected typo in title.

Savvy Move

2009-08-05T19:18:00.003-05:00

This from RedState is just icing on the cake.

And in a surprising display of savvy, Democratic allies who reached the RNC’s phone lines were instructed to press 1 to voice concern over Republican “mobs,” at which point their call was automatically directed to the DNC’s main switchboard.

Go read it all as the big kids say.
