Pregnancy joke Posting this because there's at least 3 on my furiends list who have pregnant mates! A man and a woman are in a lamaze class, and the woman is 7 months pregnant. In this class, the lamaze instructor is trying to get the husbands to understand what their wives are going through. All the men put on fake bellies, and the lamaze instructor walks up to the first man and drops a pencil in front of him. "Okay, now pick up that pencil exactly as your wife would," says the lamaze instructor. The husband smiles slyly. "You want me to pick it up 'exactly' how my wife would? He asks. "Yes, exactly how your wife would," the lamaze instructor repeats, impatiently. The man looks at his wife, and says, "Honey, pick up that pencil." Current Mood:  silly | | 11:00 am |
How is this not asinine? "Man uses an AK-47 to clear a traffic jam, a father, and two kids. Was an illegal immigrant protected by San Francisco's sanctuary laws. This did not and will continue to not end well" http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/R/ROAD_RAGE_KILLING?SITE=APSAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The scene repeats itself daily on city streets: a driver gets stuck bumper to bumper, blocking an intersection and preventing another car from turning left. But authorities say that was enough to cause Edwin Ramos to unload an AK-47 assault weapon on a man and his two sons, killing them. The deaths immediately drew public outrage, which intensified when authorities revealed that Ramos, 21, is an illegal immigrant who managed to avoid deportation despite previous brushes with the law. The case has put San Francisco's liberal politics to the test, setting off a debate over its sanctuary law that shields undocumented immigrants from deportation.

A real hero "Marine Commando jumps on grenade to save comrades. Survives blast, refuses to to be medevaced - then shoots an insurgent." Fark.com headline http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2445513/Royal-Marine-who-jumped-on-grenade-awarded-George-Cross.htmlRoyal Marine who jumped on grenade awarded George Cross A Royal Marine is to receive the highest award for gallantry after jumping on a hand grenade to save the lives of three of his comrades. By Thomas Harding Defence Correspondent Last Updated: 11:52PM BST 22 Jul 2008 Royal Marine Matthew Croucher, from Birmingham, 'fully expected' to lose a limb but was willing to make the sacrifice 'if I could keep my torso and head intact' L/Cpl Matthew Croucher will become part of a select of group of just 20 living George Cross holders when the Queen awards him the medal, which is given for acts showing the same level of heroism as the Victoria Cross. The Marine had less than seven seconds to make up his mind on whether to risk sacrificing his own life to save his friends when the hand grenade rolled onto the ground during an operation in Afghanistan earlier this year. Without hesitating he chose to chance death and save his three fellow Royal Marines. ( Under a cut for size ) | | 5:16 am |
Good advice A sum like $12,000 doesn't usually make the news, but one Boston Globe reporter has managed to trick herself into saving that amount by adopting a creative way to save. http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/07/20/with_a_bit_of_creative_savings_5_can_get_you_at_least_12000/With two daughters in college and a mortgage to pay, Marie Franklin and her husband didn't have any extra money to put into savings. While perusing online, she came across a saving trick that suggested saving every five she acquired and depositing them into a separate savings account. Once she's collected ten fives in her wallet, Marie deposits the $50 into her designated savings account, and once that account has $2,000 she purchases a CD to earn higher interest. After three years of saving all of her fives, she has accumulated $12,000 in savings. Marie acknowledges that this method of saving requires discipline, but her unconventional habit has obviously worked for her. | | 1:29 am |

Ingrates Want to Stop Honor for Fallen Marine From http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/DailyFile/ingrates_want_to_stop_honor_for_fallen_marine/Matthew Vandegrift, an American hero who gave his life for you and me, will soon have a school named after him. It is a fitting tribute for a man who was selfless, patriotic, and well educated. “The Leander School district in Texas voted unanimously to name their new high school, opening in 2010, to honor him,” my friend Katie O’Malley wrote in Human Events. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27623&page=2&cp=1#hec360933But some ingrates opposed the naming of the school after Matthew. “Naming the school after someone who signed up to serve in an illegal war promotes the board’s political pro-war message. Both my sons will attend this school. Both of them will know that it was named after someone who willingly signed up to take part in an illegal war defending, mainly, business interests.” These are the words of a selfish, inhumane, fool who takes America’s freedoms and twists them into a tool to hurt others. His or her son will learn from the school’s name, Matthew Vandegrift, that true Americans are willing to fight for their country – not bad mouth it. They will understand that the world targets America because they dislike Her freedom, Her hope, Her strength. At 28-year-old, Matthew knew more than the people who oppose his name will know until they meet their Maker. Read O’Malley’s article and comment so these hatemongers understand that they will not poison America as they did during the Vietnam War. Current Mood: pissed off | | 12:54 am |

Obama uncut Jacked from d_l_leonine. I totally agree with this "I can almost assure you that this question was not cleared by 'The Messiahs' handlers before they hit him with it. I don't expect to see this reporter sitting opposite Obama until after November (if ever again), LOL" "...so even with full hindsight, you'd be stubborn enough to still make the wrong decision? Good to know there's actually something you won't waffle on. Also good to know that when you actually catch a hardball question you stutter and stammer worse than Bush." "Does it seem odd to anyone else that, with enough success in Iraq that even the lamestream media can't spin it badly, the campaign is now ignoring Iraq and focusing on Afghanistan?" | | Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 | | 9:07 am |

I am 8% Cherokee. When they were on the Trail Of Tears, they often sang this classic hymn in their native language. This video is a slideshow of Cherokee related images set to that song

Blessed Are Our Peace Makers - Cursed are Their Critics Being against the Iraq war is one thing, but there is no excuse, reason or justification for spitting on troops and assaulting their parents I'm making this post not to be for or against the Iraq war, but to be against the dirty hippies who treat our troops like crap knowing full well they're not the ones who made the descision to go over there If I encounterd one of those scumbags, I'd get in their face about it, I would not back down and there's nothing anyone can do to make me back down because if they don't have to back down, neither do I. The same laws that say they don't have to back down apply just as equally to me. http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/DailyFile/blessed_are_our_peace_makers_cursed_are_their_critics/ When you get to wondering: How did this person get elected – this person who says our troops have lost the Iraq War; this person who said the surge would never work; this person who call our Marines cold-blooded murderers. Take a look at this video. No. Wait. The is a video taken by the University California at Santa Barbara, or UCSB College Republicans, during a gathering of miscreants who spend more time hating America and our troops than they do bathing. Their mouths are as filthy as their bodies, so expect to hear profane language. And expect to see a person (I guess it was a person) spitting on an Iraq War veteran. We have seen this type of behavior before, in Berkeley, Calif., and around the country where anti-war militants and generally hateful people attack military recruiters, assault Gold Star parents, and disrupt the government’s business. In this tape, you will see a woman saying we should hang President Bush because he is no better than Saddam Hussein. And you will hear the “F” word and a lot of other name calling. This is par for the course with these maniacs. These haters. Perhaps the most disgusting thing of all is that one hateful radical screams that our veterans “are not peace makers.” Well, if acting like these maniacs is “peaceful,” I am glad our troops don’t follow in that tradition. Here’s the link: Video of America’s haters http://wolkingsworld.com/2008/07/21/spitting-on-soldiers-recent-anti-american-demonstration-in-santa-barbara/And may God Bless America and her peace makers.

Women In, Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' Spanish for "Computer" is "Computadora" which is feminine. And is quite appropriate because... 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. To be fair, if it were "computador" which is masculine, I'd've said... 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. Current Mood: sillyCurrent Music: Petra - Computer Brains | | 8:50 pm |
