Yes, he's chestnut "But he's got PALOMINO genes"!

OMG!! This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves. People who breed horses and profess to be experts and yet KNOW NOTHING!!

I had called a while back on a horse that was listed for sale. It was a Tennessee Walking Horse mare and she was advertised as "A bright red chestnut with palomino genes!" Okay, WTF? Are you a total moron or something? If your freakin mare is CHESTNUT she has NO PALOMINO GENES!! I don't care if both her parents were palominos and all four grandparents were palominos, if she is chestnut SHE HAS NO PALOMINO GENES!
First of all there is no such thing as a "Palomino" gene. It's called a 'cream gene' or a 'dilution factor' and if your horse had the gene on a chestnut base IT WOULD BE A PALOMINO! (It is a DOMINANT GENE) The fact that your RED horse is not a palomino means IT CANNOT HAVE A PALOMINO GENE!!

GET IT?!? DUH!

Back when I used to breed Peruvians there was a lady who was a breeder that used this line all the time...."Chestnut but with palomino genes". I tried to tell her on numerous ocaissions that this is not possible but she never seemed to get it. Alrighty folks it is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! It is simple genetics 101. If your bay or chestnut had a cream gene it would be a buckskin or palomino, NOT A BAY OR CHESTNUT! Dominant gene=expressed trait. Now, this does not apply to blacks/seal browns which can and often DO mask the cream gene. So if someone has a black stallion from a buckskin sire and a palomino dam (Totally possible) he could VERY LIKELY have a cream gene! (ie..he could very likely produce dilute colors such as palomino and buckskin - depending of course on the mares color)

So the bottom line is, if you do not want to look like a complete IDIOT, do NOT tell knowledgeable folks that your chestnut "great red hope" has palomino genes, because guess what??? HE DOESN'T!!!

Liberals defend Al Qaeda's Right To Privacy!

TOO FUNNY!!!

WASHINGTON, DC — Nancy Pelosi defended terrorists’ right to privacy last week. “I have ordered my staff to stop screening packages sent to me that might contain bombs, because that is like eavesdropping. We should not be eavesdropping on phone calls and emails by Al Qaeda sleeper cells in the U.S.,” she said a few seconds before she was blown to shreds in her office at the Capitol.

“I voted for the Iraq war because I was deceived, not because I am stupid or gutless,” she had said moments earlier, but now she was gutless and, now that she is dead, perhaps we can agree that she was stupid.

Senator Ted Kennedy was not impressed by a report that eavesdropping authorized by President Bush uncovered a plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, that the plotter was convicted by a U.S. court and sent to jail, and that the court saw no constitutional problem or illegality in the eavesdropping.

“The judge was probably a conservative,” said Kennedy. “It is wrong to eavesdrop, wronger than blowing up bridges. I will defend to the death the right to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge. Not with my life. But with the lives of others, such as the people crossing the bridge.”

Ted Kennedy - R.I.P. But was he really such a saint or was he just your average Irish drunken politician?

The True Teddy Kennedy DynastyDate: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:12:17 -0400

The Last of the Kennedy Dynasty

As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American" he is. I say, let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! Hisfather, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris, never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia, he was citedfor reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark.. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he wasadmitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began "calling in favors," ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family before anautopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's insurance policy and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills.... a "token of friendship"?

8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, butconsidering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors, and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism." In his very first Senate roll he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of everyexpansion of an increase in immigration up to and including the latestattempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the piousgrilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was thestandard bearer for the nation in matters of what's right.

10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous, and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than "great American." "A blonde in every pond" is his motto.

Let's not allow the spin doctors to make this jerk a hero -- how quickly the American public forgets what his real legacy is.Send this on, as a LOT of the younger people don't have a clue about all of this, and us older ones tend to forget things that happened so many years ago, although I HAVEN'T!

DSLD - My thoughts on it by Shawna Marie Bloom

Degenertaive Suspensory Ligament Desmitis (DSLD), a word considered TABOO amongst Peruvian Paso owners and breeders because of it's larger than normal occurence within that breed.

Let me first start that this is NOT a disease or affliction or genetic disorder found solely within the Peruvain Paso breed. I have seen DSLD in Quarter Horses, Standardbreds, Arabians, and many other breeds as well. However one will not find the disorder (or whatever you choose to categorize it as) in other breeds to the extent that you find it within the Peruvian breed. My thoughts for this are written below.

Keep in mind THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS BASED ON MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE within this breed. They are not scientific facts, they have not been proven as I feel they should be by genetic testing. When and if a test becomes avaialble I think most of you will find I was right on this, whether or not you like what I have to say on the matter.

No, I am not a vet. So why would I be qualified to speak on the matter? Well to be honest with you, I probably have seen MORE cases of DSLD through my experiences with the Peruvian Paso breed than all or most vets combined that 'do' have any experience with this affliction. I have worked at some of the largest Peruvian ranches in this country at one time or another. I at one time owned with my ex husband one of the largest and most successful ranches of this breed in California. I know what I am talking about. I can also pretty much guarantee you that I can go to visit any ranch in this country un-announced and will probably find what I would call "DD" horses as well as "Dd" horses being used in each and every breeding program.

I have delivered literally hundreds and hundreds of foals within this breed. I am the breeder of hundreds of registered horses, I have bred dozens of National Champions and I am one of only a very small handful of Americans to have bred a 3 time U.S. National Champion of Champions Breeding Stallion & Laureado. I have been to Peru on numerous occaissions and have pretty much seen and done it all within the Peruvian breed.

After over 30 years in this breed, I have decided to switch breeds to a less problem prone gaited breed, the Tennessee Walking Horse. They do not have the beauty, grace or brio of the Peruvian, but they have something the average Peruvian does not, which is the almost non-existent leg problems and larger size - which is a bit more appealing to most Americans.

I can not even begin to tell you the number of Peruvians I have put down over the years, not to mention the ones that I know of personally that were put down over the years that were owned by other people/ranches. I have, just for my own personal reference kept diaries of horses that were DSLD suspect or that I knew for a fact were destroyed because of this affliction, and I know for a FACT that this is hereditary and can be found with frightening regularity within certain lines. That said without mentioning "actual" names of horses (Which I am happy to provide to people privately) Here are my thoughts and opinions.

First and foremost I DO BELIEVE that DSLD is GENETIC. I believe it is a DOMINANT GENE and that it can be found in both a DD, a Dd and dd form. I believe it is found in both the not so drastic (But very hereditary and still problematic) 'Heterozygous' form (Dd) and the devastatingly horrible "Homozygous" form (DD) as well as the non-carrier (dd). I personally believe at least 50% of the Peruvian population (more likely than not, an even a higher percentage) to be afflicted in the heterozygous stage (Dd).

Now with that in mind (and remember even a "dd" horse could produce a DSLD horse if bred to either a "DD" or "Dd") I have only ever known personally 2 stallions that I would say for a fact were most likely "dd", or totally NON-CARRIERS. Those two stallions being SOBERANO & *DOMINGUITO. Both lived well into their twenties, both had LONG, tried and true show careers and BOTH were ridden regularly and with totally clean legs well into their twenties. (They are the only two stallions I will mention by 'their correct names"
in this entire article as in both cases they are mentioned in a 100% positive light, I had both in my care up to the times of their deaths and I rode both on a regular basis as older aged horses- neither one EVER had any suspensory ligament problems or changes in their structural conformation at any time throughout their lives).

I'm sure there are dozens of others out there that I don't mention as I am only mentioning those that I had first hand experience with and that I know for a fact lived into their twenties, totally sound and rideable until the time of their deaths.

I believe that DSLD in it's Dd form afflicts many more horses than people know of. A Dd horse can be seemingly sound his entire life and then all of a sudden either totally breaks down unexplained or maybe sustains an injury at a latter age that results in the incorrect healing process that ends up as DSLD affliction. I have an older gelding at this time that is 23 years of age. He is a two time U.S. National Champion of Champions Performance Horse/Gelding. He has had a WELL USED life of heavy riding, extreme musical excercise riding, gymkhanas, trails etc.... He is still sound and rideable today but as of late I notice his stifles becoming straighter and his rear legs becoming more and more post legged. I am sure within the next few years I will see DSLD finally set in and when it does I will euthanize him but for now he is healthy, happy and pain free, but also retired. He is what I would call a Dd horse because while it took a long time in coming, I do see at 23 years of age the beginning signs of DSLD coming on. I think more of you breeders actually see this than care to admit. Horses break down and you euthanize them and then sweep the whole nasty little incident under the carpet.

Now DSLD in it's more severe case, is a horse that I would say was "DD". "DD" horses have drastic DSLD show up at an early age. These "DD" horses can seemingly breakdown overnight and sometimes for no apparent reason. Just as a HOMOZYGOUS GREY horse 'greys out" faster that a HETEROZYGOUS GREY, so does a "DD" horse exhibit earlier and more severe signs of the affliction than a "Dd" horse does.

Back in the 70's and 80's as well as early 90's you saw a lot more of this than you do today. At least today people are making an honest effort to avoid breeding horses with the affliction. Back then there would be al kinds of excuses as to why a horse was broken down that way. I have heard every excuse from "He got his leg caught in a fence and it ended up that way" to "The chalan did it to him" to "She had pneumonia as a baby and it settled in her back legs" (HUH??!!??? Pneumonia of the back legs??? Come again???) Breeders literally had dozens of DSLD afflicted mares in their herds and DSLD afflicted stallions as major herd sires. There were the usual run of excuses but bottom line is that most breeders back then were willing to put up with the affliction in order to get the phenomenal gaits that some of these lines possessed.

I remember the many occaissions that I have seen certain stallions that were so horribly broken down they could barely stand, many of which bred full books of mares each year because of their wonderful ability to pass on "Pisos". Some of these stallion get, grand get and great grand get I have been following for over 30 years! Guess what??? IT IS 100% HEREDITARY!!

Anyone wanting my list of horses I HAVE KNOWN, RIDDEN or SEEN perosnally over the years that I feel were DD and Dd afflicted, just write me. I'll send you my list, keep in mind this is my theory only and these are my opinions.

Don't be emailing me telling me I don't know what I'm talking about or that this does not really exist or that I am bashing certain lines because to do so will only show your ignorance on the problem and your lack of help in finding a solution. The truth of the matter is that I have never seen a breed more guilty of having their head in the sand than the owners/breeders of the Peruvian Paso Horse. Until you people get a genetic test and BAN ALL "DD" horses as well as "Dd" horses from breeding you will never be able to promote this breed and achieve the sales with the prices you should be getting. You people have created a stigma within that breed and only you CAN CLEAN IT UP!!

Unfortunately, one of the things I do think is true, is that you are going to find that actual "dd" horses amount to about 25% or less of the breeds population and that in order to save this breed from the devastation of severe inbreeding to eliminate this problem, you are more likely than not going to have to introduce some non-Peruvian gaited breeds into your gene pool. SAD BUT TRUE.

Letter to Obama - I'm planning on moving to Mexico!

Dear Mr. President Obama, U. S. Senate and Congress:

I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my husband's health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico , and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All Mexico government forms, printed in Spanish, need to also be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I, probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help.
Sincerely, U.S. Citizen & Taxpayer

All Hail Queen Pelosi!

No If's, and's or but's about it...

This woman is a total

WHACKJOB!!!

*And they STILL want to talk about Sarah's clothing??

Republicans! Are you out there?

*MADAME PELOSI*Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone what Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Taxpayers, for the thousands of gallons of fuel every week.

Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California , cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way!

As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night'! Cost to us is another $60,000. Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000.

No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours. I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires. These people are nuts!

If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list!Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!

One wonders what her total package costs us? And she wants to tax OUR IRAs & 401 Ks.....

YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS IN ANY NEWSPAPERS IN THE COUNTRY! THEY HAVE NO GUTS - THEY WOULD RATHER SEE PEOPLE STARVING THAN REPORT ON THE MONSTER THAT IS NANCY PELOSI!

Shawna's note..... "Yeah... and she's like SUPER UGLY too!!"

HOW DARE skanky ugly bitches like Queen Pelosi bash women like Sarah Palin?? How dare they?

A Good Wholesome Irish Confession

My friend Nicole sent me this one. It's priceless!!

An Irish Confession

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy ?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And, who was the woman you were with?"
"I can't be tellin' you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Tommy , I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley ?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Patricia Kelly ?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Liz Shannon ?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't name her."
"Was it Cathy Morgan ?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Fiona McDonald , then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration.
"You're a steadfast lad, Tommy Shaughnessy , and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend church mass for three months. Be off with you now."
Tommy walks back to his pew.
His friend Sean slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"Three month's vacation and five good leads"

Michelle Obama helps scamming Americans!!

These people are in line at a soup kitchen!!!

First Lady Michelle Obama showed up Thursday as a "surprise volunteer" at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen for homeless poor people in DC. She brought with her some food donated by White House staff.

The first lady served up mushroom risotto and broccoli to a long line of homeless men and women during part of her lunch hour, and in these photos poses for a picture for one homeless diner -- understandably excited to be in the First Lady's presence.

It doesn't detract from the First Lady's "generous photo-op gesture" to ask two bothersome journalistic questions about this news photo:

** 1) If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone (it's a Blackberry) ?

** 2) And if he is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills?

... We are all being played as idiots..... as usual.

WHY DOESN'T OUR NEWS MEDIA ASK THESE QUESTIONS?

You Gotta Love Bill Cosby!!!

Subject: 2012 Candidate For President

Bill Cosby has a great way of distilling things.

Looks like has done it again!
I WISH WE HAD A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.

(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'

(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.

(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't getting nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will be able to touch it.

(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.

(7) Professional Athletes--Steroids. The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life.

(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.

(9) One export will be allowed, Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.

(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.

(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes, GOD BLESS AMERICA .

Things my mother taught me about life!!

I have a wonderful Mother! I can honestly say there has never been a time in my life when she wasn't there for me if I needed her. She was always kind, to the point even of being saintly sometimes. I have never heard anyone mutter a bad word about my Mother, she is just that kind of person. Someone sent this to me and now looking back, there are a lot of things listed here that my beloved Mother VERY often said to us as children. I have highlighted in RED every one of these phrases that I astually remember her telling us kids! I LOVE YOU MOM!!! -Shawna

25 REASONS I'VE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE MY MOTHER:

1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE . 'If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.'

13. My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE . 'I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.'

14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. 'Stop acting like your father!' (Actually, what my Mother always said was "You're going to grow up to be JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!")

15. My mother taught me about ENVY. 'There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do.'

16. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION. 'Just wait until we get home.'

17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING .. 'You are going to get it when you get home!' (Actually I heard that one more from my Dad!)

Obama Health Care - CASH FOR CODGERS!!!

My Uncle Dennis sent me this one, you gotta love it!!

Subject: National health care plan - Cash for Codgers

Regardless of political or religious affilitation, this is funny.

JUST IN ... Democrats, realizing the success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers" rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reed are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week.

I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named... "CASH FOR CODGERS" and it works like this...

Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay forthe delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person.

The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.

Special "Bonuses" will be paid for those submitting codgers intargeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, and any member of the Republican Party.

Smaller bonuses will be given for codgers who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussel sprouts, or Girl Scout Cookies. All codgers will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection. This will insure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair. Remember you heard it here first...

We've Figured Him Out!!

This was sent to me by a friend. I thought it worthy of printing! It was not written by me but I couldn't agree more with what the author has to say!!

We've Figured Him Out!

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008!

They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith. They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.

There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost.

Wake up, beloved America!

O SHIT!!

Time to replace your "W" sticker!

It is time to get rid of those "W" bumper stickers you've seen for the past 8 years.

That administration is done.

The election is over.

Get past it.

Get used to the idea of a new president and the new administration!

Here's the bumper sticker you'll need for the next 4 years.

My Democratic Friends Were Right!! (As if!)

As much as it pains me to say this, I have to admit it - my Democrat friends were right.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation's hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and now, tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan .

My Democrat Party friends told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is at 9.4% and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since the Islamic Terrorists attacks of 9-11.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "crooks" in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery and tax fraud.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "Pork at the trough" in Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 "Pork Bills" showed up in Congress since January 2009.

I was also told by my Democrat friends that if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in Washington D..C. , and sure enough, Obama has spent more in just 30 days than all other Presidents together - in the entire history of the good ole USA!!

Well I voted for McCain in November and my Democrat friends were right... all of their predictions have come true!

OBAMA'S Ten Commandments!

Who the Holy Hell does this guy think he is anyway??

The Ten Commandments According to Obama

By Patriot Update

© 2009 The Patriot Update. Feel free to circulate this article, but please link / give credit to The Patriot Update.

After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of “Ten Commandments.” They’re certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday School. In fact, many are the direct opposite! To prove that our conclusions are correct, you will find a link to source documentation for each commandment on the Patriot Update web site.

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.)
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/346/Obama_To_CBN_News_Were_No_Longer_Just_A_Christian_Nation

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/347/Obama_Eyeing_Spot_On_Mt_Rushmore

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/348/Why_Is_Obamas_Middle_Name_Taboo

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/349/President_Obama_April_15th_Not_Everyones_Favorite_Day

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/156/Did_Obama_Say_We_Should_Kill_The_Old_Folks_To_Save_Money_Last_Night

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/350/Obamas_punished_With_A_Baby_Comment_Sparks_Protests

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/351/Media_On_Sanford_A_double_Standard

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/355/Obama_Hood_And_Obamanomics

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/356/According_To_Janet_Napolitano_You_Are_A_Right_Wing_Extremist_If_You

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet.

Dumb BRUNETTE Jokes!!!

I'm blonde. I have a very high IQ (148). I HATE DUMB BLONDE JOKES!! For some reason everyone I know, family included thinks I like these stupid jokes. Funny thing about them though... they're just as funny if you substitute BRUNETTE for Blonde. The definition of 'dumb' is actually a person who cannot speak (ie...a mute) I'd by far rather be a "Dumb Blonde" than a STUPID BRUNETTE!!! So here we go, we have some great STUPID BRUNETTE JOKES HERE!!!

ENJOY!!!

Best STUPID BRUNETTE jokes you'll ever read!

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the blonde tells her sister, 'When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.' The blonde arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister (the brunette) a telegram to tell her the news.

She walks into the telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'

The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word. Well, after paying for the bull, the blonde realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send her the word 'comfortable.'

The operator shakes his head. 'How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word 'comfortable?'

The blonde explains, 'My sister's a brunette. The word is big. She'll read it very slowly....

'com-for-da-bul.'

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!?!

WHY IS IT ......

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR, ...... BUT IF YOU CROSS THE US BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET A DRIVERS LICENSE, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, AND FREE HEALTH CARE ?
WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS THIS ?!?!?

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 or Congress 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!

Also, think about this ...

If you don't want to forward this

for fear of offending someone --

YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

It is time for America to speak up!

Yep, I passed it on!

And now I'm posting it here for you to read!

One BAD ASS MULE!!!

This was sent to us by a friend. It is totally cool and speaks highly of the intelligence and loyalty of a well trained and well cared for mule. Mules are smart! Waaaaayyyy smarter than a horse ever thought of being. It may be more difficult to properly train one as they are often smarter than the idiots trying to train them but if you get a mule with someone that knows mules and he is trained with respect and understanding, let it be said there is no better mount! That said, enjoy the following! I thought it VERY worthy of passing on to my readers!

This may be a first !

A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs...(you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very, bad decision on the cat's part.

The guy got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs.

With that, the mule took off and decided HE wanted a piece of that lion.

That's when all hell broke loose for the lion!

As the lion approached the dogs, the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat.

The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, then whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride as if nothing had just happened.

Fortunately, even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these four pictures.

Happy Trails to You, Partner!

NOW THAT'S ONE BAD ASS MF!!!

Rest In Peace America!

A friend of mine emailed me this. I thought it appropriate material for my blog. Please AMERICA, you need to wake up now! How much longer before our great country really dies? It's time to band together and FIGHT. Take back our country!!

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2..1(But yet if we say the majority are welfare blacks and illegal mexicans then "We" are racist? Even though the facts show this to be true!)

Professor Olson adds:

"In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler 's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty-million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say good-bye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message and know that YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom!

Look Kids!!! It's Quasimoto Equitation!

YOU PICK THE WINNER!!!

Hi boys and girls! Welcome to this weeks spectacular show of horsemanship riding skills. It's time for...

QUASIMOTO EQUITATION!!!

Featuring some of the best "Big Lick" trainers/riders in the Tennessee Walking Horse Breed!

Now children you need to pay attention to Quasimoto. Don't be listening to none of them thar uppity Saddleseat Equitation instructors that will try and tell you to keep your hands soft, your legs in proper alignment with heels down and forget that sitting up straight in the saddle shit.

That ain't how you want to ride if you plan on winning any BIG LICK classes!

Now you just take for example here our first hunchback. This rider is doing it up in a spectacular way!! Note the short, stubby hunchback appearance. See how his mighty toes point downward in the direction he's headed after he dies? See the wonderful 'agonizingly' happy look in the horses eyes? OH YES!! Horse and rider are having a wonderful time!! In fact the horse is enjoying having his mouth cranked back on by the 10" shank bit SO MUCH that he wore his best bracelets and high heels to the performance! Good thing he has those ELASTICON BANDAGES on his rear legs for support. It's very strenuous work hauling around a celebrity like Quasimoto!!! You never know when those rear legs might just SNAP OFF!!

Now lookie here at our second rider. A being so phenomenally 'out of whack' that we felt the need to feature him here on our blog, not once but TWO SEPERATE TIMES!!!

No children, this is not Donatello or Leonardo... But YES CHILDREN!!! You are correct. He is definitely a MUTANT NINJA TURTLE!! Perhaps the missing link of the quintet....

Again note the extreme happiness in the horses eyes! Boy does this horse love to perform! And Mr. Mutant Ninja Turtle is such a wonderful rider that he can manage those 10" long bit shanks without even having to keep them even!

Again, the happy horse saw fit to wear his Sunday best bracelets and high heels to the competition.

And now for our third and final rider. This guy automatically wins because not only is he the best at cranking on his horses mouth with those 10" shanks but he's a skinny little wimp and he can still HUNCH WITH THE BEST OF THEM!!

What's more. he beats them all because he started his torturing of this happy horse EARLY!! This is a MERE TWO YEAR OLD!! That's right ladies and gents, this horse is still a BABY!! A BABY in high heels and chains and with curly hair on his legs!!!

KUDOS to this young hunchback for having the foresight to start his torture on this fine example of NATURAL GAIT, while it was STILL JUST A YEARLING!!! HOORAY!! YOU WIN!!!

YOU LAZY ASS TWH BIG LICK TRAINERS ARE A DISGRACE TO THE HORSE WORLD! You should all be put in jail for torturing these wonderful animals. YOU MAKE ME SICK!!!

OUR NEW FREE MEDICAL COVERAGE!

Coming Soon!!

What more can you say?????

The U.S. Department of Energy. HAHA The Joke's on us!!

This was sent to me from a friend. It really makes you wonder WHY IN THE HELL ANYONE WOULD PUT A DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE!!!

Absolutely the funniest joke ever......ON US !!!

Let it sink in....

Quietly we go like sheep to slaughter.

Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ..... during the Carter Administration?

Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!

Bottom line ... we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency ...the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember.

Ready???????

It was very simple ..
and at the time everybody thought it very appropriate...

The 'Department of Energy' was instituted on
8-04-1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE
ON FOREIGN OIL.

Hey, pretty efficient, huh?????

AND NOW IT'S 2009, 32 YEARS LATER ... AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS
NECESSARY DEPARTMENT
IS AT
$24.2 BILLION A YEAR
IT HAS
16,000
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
AND APPROXIMATELY
100,000
CONTRACT EMPLOYEES
AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!

THIS IS WHERE YOU
SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY
'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'

Ah, yes, good old bureaucracy...
And NOW _ we are going to turn the Banking System, Health Care & the
Auto Industry over to government?

May God Help Us !!!

keep this one going....

Junk Mail Crap! Is there anything more annoying?

Junk mail crap! Really, what is possibly more annoying? You go to the post office to retrieve your mail. You open your box and a ton of crap comes tumbling out. This is all kinds of crap, crematoriums soliciting your business, credit card applications, magazines you didn't order, newspaper ads, penny savers, advertisements, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK!!! It's annoying and it needs to stop. How many innocent trees are sacrificing their lives so that these stupid companies can pollute our planet with all this wasteful paper that just gets thrown out?

Well, My Uncle Dennis just sent me this really cool email on some of the things you can do with all that JUNK MAIL. There are some really good pointers for getting back at the companies that are sending out all this garbage. There are also some great tips on how to handle those oh so annoying telemarketers that always call.... Read what he sent me below and by all means let's start using some of these suggestions!!

Tips for Handling Telemarketers -Three Little Words That Work !!

(1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...' Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead ofhanging-up immediately), would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt. Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.

(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone callsand records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a 'real' sales person to call back and get someone at home. What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what ashame not to have your name in their system any longer !!!

(3) Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right?

It costs them more than the regular 41 cents postage 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away!

The postage was around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes?

One of Andy Rooney's (60 minutes) ideas. Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day,then just send them their blank application back!

If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 41 cents. The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and bestof all they're paying for it...Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea! If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- I have been doing this for years, and I get very little junk mail anymore.

THIS JUST MIGHT BE ONE E-MAIL THAT YOU WILL WANT TO FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS!

Well what do you all think? Some really good points. You can bet I'm going to start doing this on Monday!!
