Jackets for McCain

I already went on and on about seeing the students handing out stickers in the Jackets for Obama post.
Am considering taking my extra labels that and giving them to the Georgia fans planning to vote for the Republican candidate. Then if McCain wins, the Jackets could get some coat-tail fans switching over from the Bulldog nation.
Fat chance.

Tha Tone

Surely the intent of the sticker is to avow that Barack Obama is the one choice for president.
I prefer to think of the sticker as say "Tha Tone" of our campaign is to hang the demon GW Bush around the neck of John McCain until dead. The same John McCain that was the darling of the dimocrat party and its main ally the national press.
Or, maybe "Tha Tone" is the sound that a ACORN make when it hits the ground. If in the national press forest, "Tha Tone" would be silence.
A third possibility is "Tha Tone" is intended to ensnare Sopranos followers. Afterall, the dimocratic party is known to have fixed elections (e.g. Chicago) using organized crime. That Sopranos season ending episode with the dead fish calling "Hey Tone", creeped me out.

Give me a break....don't you always find a "lib" that says "they" were or someone they "knew" was a Republican...but changed over???...LIE...rat bastard commies ...The AJC is nothing but yard trash......I'm thankful that fuel prices got high enough that they quit tossing it in my yard every day!....money well spent!.

Will MSM Report on Louis Farrakhan Declaration of Obama as the Messiah?

I am trying to get DGJ to submit directly, but we have not gotten past technical difficulties. A true believer in conservative issues, this man must spend hours scouring the internet for the smoking gun that will change the result of our next presidential election.

Explaining Our United States Taxing System With Beer

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten
comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something
like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the
arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are
all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your
daily beers by $20 . Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.'

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the
first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But
what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they
divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted
that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would
each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested
that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same
amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before and the first four continued
to drink for free, but once outside the restaurant, the men began to
compare their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed
to the tenth man, "but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right" exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar,
too. It's unfair that he got TEN times more than I!"
"That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back
when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get
anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat
down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill,
they discovered something very important....they didn't have enough
money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our
tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most
benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being
wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might
start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Jackets for Obama

Walking to the Duke game on Saturday I walked over to the young man handing out these stickers and stuck out my hand. Now that I think of it, like a good dimocrat. The clean cut youngster happy to have a supporter show interest. The popularity of the stickers was low and the youngster was mostly alone. At the bottom of the hill a McCain supporter was handing out "Jackets for McCain" stickers, this I put out my hand for again and got 4. This young man was busy with many requests.
It is not surprising that the students at an engineering school would be conservative leaning. Last year, during the primaries, there were many supporters of Ron Paul, who as we all know is a Republican with Libertarian beliefs. These students are focused on careers in defined fields of study and have pragmatic views on the role of government in the economy. In terms of understanding government these engineering student are more mature in their preferences, having arrived at a philosophy that often takes other citizens years in the professional work force to achieve.
Of course there are balancing factors favoring students from liberal arts schools, namely in socialization skills. At 48 I still haven't mastered either, but who gives a shit.
The walk to the game was worth it, Tech manhandled Duke. That Duke gets beaten by nearly all D1 schools in football is proper, their dominance in basketball is more than they deserve.

Politics & Journalists

Katie Couric of CBS news was seated next to Little Johnny on the plane when Couric turned to the boy and said, "Let's talk, I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers.
Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to Couric , "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know" said Couric , "How about ? Should we elect McCain as president or Obama?"
"OK" said Little Johnny, "That could be an interesting topic but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out flat pattys, and a horse excretes clumps of dried grass. Why do you think that is?"
"Jeez" said Couric, "I have no idea."
"Well then" said Little Johnny, How is it you feel qualified to discuss who should run this country when you don't know shit?"

25?




The bride sent me a bunch of these today.
Editors really should read their headlines.

The ACORN Candidate

A president often belittled in the press, not unlike G.H. or G. W. Bush had this to say about communism....

"How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

Ronald Reagan

This is an important point, because the community organizer running that is running for president, has by is affiliations to ACORN and likewise, has proven his preference for socialism. Socialism like communism is system that leads to depressed productivity, increased taxation, increased government regulation and a constriction of personal rights. The relevance of the quote is that proponents of these philosophies concentrate on the sales pitch to the constituents that have their hands out, there is little care or commitment to how these promises are delivered. Tax increases on capital gains will dampen investment. Forcing insurance companies to cover increases in cost without conveyance to the customers will bankrupt those companies much the way Barney Frank's crowd cajoled and coerced the banks into making sub-prime loans. Mandatory civil service will restrict the freedom of citizens. The examples are many.

Register to Vote

Today, a man that I know told me that he just registered to vote.
This man has always lived in the Georgia, so at age of 50 he has never voted in a government election. Thirty years ago when I became eligible to vote in an off election year, I registered to vote so that I could participate in a town election. It is inconceivable to me that one would not make themselves eligible.
The statement drew my obvious question as to why he did register.
The answer: To vote against Barack Obama.
This was the first time that I've experienced in the state of Georgia, what might be described as the inception of a conservative-racist backlash voter registration drive. The most common observation I've had, for years, and on dozens of occasions, was women recruiting teenagers, blacks and Hispanics to vote, the presumption being that they would vote the democratic ticket. Just last weekend as I walked into Walmart, there was a registration drive going on. The ladies made no attempt to talk with me, probably because of my age, but have no doubt that voter registration drives are better described as "democratic voter registration".
Why do think the ACLU and democrat politicians fight against voters being required to submit identification? Because their influence within the realm of experienced voters is in constant decline. They need to either cheat to maintain equal footing or recruit naive newcomers.
The democrats project themselves as the protector of the unfortunate and enemy of those who have succeeded financially. This irritates people that work and pay taxes, these people who contribute more to the business of both the country and government are portrayed as if they are undeserving of comfort or possession.
Picture was shamelessly stolen from the Grouchy Old Cripple.

Crack Found In Man's Buttocks


News Alert! The newspaper should be searching for editors that survey titles for secondary meanings.

It is probably a good thing that Peirre's customers are messed up from the product. Consider the stench of burning something that had been stuck up an ass.
