Breast Cancer Awareness - Too Far?

This ad, featuring Canadian MTV host Aliya-Jasmine Sovani, is making the internet rounds. It is promoting the BoobyBall, a Breast Cancer Awareness/fund raiser event Aliya-Jasmine is hosting on Oct. 2.

I know what the answer is from a male point of view, but ladies ... is this too much?





Update - Sorry folks, the copyright Nazis are trying to pull the video. I'm trying to keep up a valid link, but if it shows as unavailable, don't blame me!

The Sarge Keeps Rolling

Tony Schumacher drove the US Army sponsored Top Fuel dragster to victory at the Texas Motorplex (near Ennis) this past Sunday. In the final round, he beat nemesis Larry Dixon and the Al Anabi sponsored dragster (the car Tony's crew chief and old team defected to after last season).

The victory vaulted Schumacher into first place in the points standings, with 4 races to go in the season. Things are looking good fo rhe US Army to claim another NHRA championship.

10/06 Update - Yesterday's rain delayed NHRA Mid-South nationals, at Memphis, saw The Sarge reach the final round. He lost, but going that far into eliminations extended his point lead considerably. Looking good for that championship!

Attacked by a Terrorist Turd

This is something you'd expect to see on an episode of Southpark ... but it apparently happened last month.

Can you imagine the horror of being killed not only by an A*hole terrorist, but an A*hole terrorist's turd?

Sorry for the Couric ad you'll have to suffer through at the begining. There's something poetic about CBS News reporting on this subject, I think.....

Why Can't Our Kids Be Taught This?

Why will our government not allow our kids to be taught this? Why must teachers, administrators, Democrats, and liberal activist judges tell our kids that the Pledge of Allegiance is bad, and they don't have to say it? Why is it ruled un-Constitutional to have our kids honor our country?

Why? Because the America hating left has had so much influence in the classroom for decades now. They'd rather teach our kids how evil our country is, not how great it is. It's no wonder we're so F**ked up .....

Crop Circles Spotted Near Lubbock - Signs of Intelligent Life!

A crop circle noticed in a field 1 mile northeast of the Lubbock, TX airport in August. Intelligent Life does exist in the universe after all .....

Obama Worship - Anything for a Buck

In my business travels, I occasionally visit our nation's capitol. I've been there during every presidential term since Reagan's second. In the Washington area airports, and in tourist stores scattered around the capitol, you can find all sorts of political 'junk' for sale. The amount of junk and what it's message is depends entirely upon who's in office.

During the Clinton years, you'd swear he was Jesus Christ himself from all the worship material you'd see in these stores. For years after George W came into office, the only things you would see were pro-Clinton and anti-Bush. Apparently, Democrat worship makes money - their voters are stupid enough to buy that crap!!!!

In one such junk store at one of the airports earlier this week, I got to view the current crop of Obama worship paraphenalia. I cannot believe (or can I?) the amount of crap that has His or His Wife's image on them. I picked up a couple of samples for my vast viewing audience ...

Here we have "Barack Obama Change Has Come" premium milk chocolate bar, priced 2.99 for 2 ounces. Following are "President Obama Presidential Mints", 3.49 for half an ounce. Finally, "Michele Obama, America's First Lady Making History" chocolate bar, 2.99 for 2 ounces. Just a sampling ... aprons, hats, T-Shirts, kids clothes, playing cards, coasters, golf balls ... rack upon rack of stuff (almost all of which is 'Made in China").

The store is named "America!" .... and that is trademarked. How do you trademark the country's name?????

To be absolutely fair, there was a small section of anti-Obama stuff - stickers, magnets, a few TShirts and mugs. But, it was a fraction of the amount in the pro-O section. Here are a couple of gems I picked up, along with a 'Nope' mug I will send over to friend Outlaw13...

I don't dare put either of these on my vehicle - it will be vandalized within 10 minutes if I did so ....

I found the Obama jack-in-the-box quite amusing - it was sitting in the pro-O area, though I don't believe it was intended as a compliment to Him. I didn't see it, but can imagine Obama brand condoms, and maybe Obamaglide personal lubricant ... with a quote from Obama on the label "relax, I'm going to screw you, you may as well enjoy it". Oh well, a little editorial license on my part.

I pick up these items and go to the counter, where a pleasant young black lady smiles at me, says hello, and starts ringing up the items. When she reaches the 'Nope' items, the smile turns into a frown, and she doesn't say another word ... no thank you, no nothing.

Now, upon exiting the store, comes the best part. Life sized carboard standups of the A-hole in Chief and the First Witch are located next to the door. Three young asian ladies are taking turns photographing each other with the standups. I can't resist .... I call out to them, in a voice that is slightly louder than it needs to be "cover your purses ladies ... he'll steal them". They look at me, then all three bust out laughing. Nice young black lady clerk yells at me to get out of the store (which I already technically am, about two feet outside). I look at her, wave, and tell her to have a nice day.

I've struck a tremendous blow against the Obama regime, and I am happy ....

FBI Foils Terror Plot In Dallas, In Spite of Obama

Yesterday, the 24th, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi drove an explosives laden SUV into the underground parking garage of a downtown Dallas skyscraper. He left it there, jumped into a car with his accomplises, drove a few blocks, then dialed the number on his cell phone that would detonate the explosives and bring the building crashing down, killing thousands of people who were at work inside of it.

This is not fiction - it did happen.

The only thing ... the accomplises were undercover FBI agents, the explosives were fake, and no detonation occurred.

Smadi, a Jordanian in this country illegally, had been under FBI surveillance for months, after he was identified as a threat because of his militant ramblings on a jihadist web site. The FBI set up a sting operation, and let him go all the way past the point of pushing the trigger. He's now in custody, and will stand before a federal court today.

Hooray for the FBI. Thank God they identified this man and took action - if they had not, he might have linked up with other terrorists and actually carried out the plot. Today, there might be a smoking pile of ruin in downtown Dallas, if it weren't for the FBI's efforts.

Now, after kudos for the FBI, let's see what the political fallout will be - and there will be some. The Obama regime will take credit for this, and point to their new directives and policies as being successful. This is bullshit. The surveillance started many months ago, while Bush doctrine was still in place. I do not know what methods were used specifically to catch this animal, but I think it entirely possible that some of those methods may not be available today to law enforcement after Obama has hogtied them. That's conjecture on my part, but I truly believe it.

Smadi was pulled over for a traffice violation on 9/11/09 (no small irony there!) and ticketed for having no driver's license and no insurance. He was fined $550 and let go. If the local Sheriff's department had been allowed to check his immigration status (as they had a right to, since he produced no government issued identification) - he would have been found to be in the country illegally and detained for deportation. But noooooo ... it's a civil rights violation in the view of the left to ask anyone whether they are in the country illegally - that's discrimination. Just think what the recriminations would have been if this animal had detonated real explosives and this traffic stop came to light ....

Smadi will now be subjected to the US legal system, and have all the rights of a US citizen, including taxpayer provided defense attorneys. If they find a legal hole in the case, this guy will walk away completely free - and Obama's government will probably give him legal status to stay here. Smadi will be treated the same as a shoplifter - not as an enemy of our country who tried to murder thousands of our citizens.

Since it's a federal case, Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder will be in charge - it will be VERY interesting to see how this plays out.......

So, Mr. Obama - there is no War on Terror?

Need a Laugh? Take a Look at This

www.peopleofwalmart.com

It's pretty self explanatory ....

Update - From Kate Burke, Omaha World-Herald News Service, comes the story of two folks who surely will end up on the above web page .....

"YORK, Neb. — The bride wore dark lavender, the groom black jeans.
Flowers were everywhere.

The York Walmart Supercenter hosted its first wedding Saturday when Crystal Newsome and Robert “Vick” Vickrey exchanged vows amid hanging baskets and seasonal foliage in the lawn and garden department.

“We had our first kiss at Walmart,” Crystal recalled.

Robert has been with Walmart for 12 years and is the grocery department manager. With five years behind her at the company, Crystal is the deli manager. Friendship blossomed into romance about two years ago.

Robert has three grown children and four grandchildren. Crystal has four children. Her oldest son, 6-year-old Keagan, walked her down the “aisle,” a white runner. The entire blended family was part of the wedding while Walmart employees gathered with more friends to hear Crystal and Robert exchange their vows.

“We put an invitation up near the time clock for a while,” Crystal said.

She laughed at her co-workers' reactions: “Are you kidding? Why would you want to be here on your day off?”

“We both work here, we met here, it all started here, why not?” Robert said of his Walmart wedding.

They make no secret about why they wanted to become one.

“He's fun,” Crystal said, a touch of laughter in her voice as she talked about Robert. “His personality is wonderful. He can make me laugh when I'm not in the mood to laugh.”

Robert's voice softens when he talks of Crystal.

“I love everything about her. She is an absolutely wonderful woman. She makes me smile. She's put the joy of life back in me.”

I just don't have any comment that can top that .....

I Hate the Toyota Prius

Toyota's Prius and I don't see eye to eye ....

This little hybrid car is one of the ugliest vehicles ever made. I have driven a couple of them on rentals, and I must say that I am impressed with the technology. 47mpg, and pretty peppy. If Toyota had spent a fraction of their time trying to design something that actually looked good to use the technology, they'd have a winner. If someone wants to buy one to get the mileage, I have no problem with that - if they can stand the ugliness ....

My problem is the damned irritating commercials Toyota is running for them. I hated the song when it first came out in the '70s - it is abrasive, and gets under your skin like fingernails across a chalkboard. The ad agency that came up with this has to be based in San Francisco ....



Note to Toyota - sell your car on its merits. People who want to buy it for the mileage will buy it. Trying to sell it as the answer to Obama/Algore's Global Warming Farce is demeaning, and frankly disgusting. (Apparently trying to sell it that way isn't working very well - sales figures for the Prius this year are pretty dismal, from what I've seen.)

Fall's Here, With a Roar

Fall arrived in North Texas today with a roar. High '80s yesterday afternoon, then a squal line moved through from the northwest. 70 mph straight line winds, hail, heavy rain for a short time, lots of lightning and thunder. It's in the mid '60s right now, with a nice northern breeze. Most Excellent!

The same front dropped temps to freezing up to the northwest of us, with snow in the higher elevations. I don't expect that Obama will make reference to that in his big Global Warming speech at the UN today .....

Official Condemnation of Kanye West

We all know that Obama called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his dismal antics at VMA the other night. Well, he isn't the only head of state to voice outrage at the 'jackass' ....



Sorry folks, I know this is in bad taste, but it's pretty funny ....

Student Loans - Only From the US Government!

How many of you with kids in college or approaching college age know this?

There is a bill going through the US House of Representatives right now that will outlaw all student loans except those approved by and issued by the US Government .....

So, if you need financial assistance in the form of a loan to go to school, the only place you will be able to get it is from the federal government. A government agency will control who qualifies for a loan, who gets a loan, how much the loan is for, and what interest rate the loan will be charged.

For those of you who have gone through the time consuming process to get this form of financial assistance to date, can you imagine how long and frustrating it is going to be after the government takes over?

Support for this bill in the House is high, and it is certain to pass. It takes effect 6 months after it passes, so it will be in place for the fall semester next year.

Update - Financial industry experts are estimating that over 30,000 people will lose their jobs with financial institutions because of this takeover by the government. Government itself, will of course, expand. So much for Obama's promise to protect and create jobs ....

You know what this is a part of? Obama and the far left want government to control finance and the economy completely. Capitalism, free markets, business - they are all evil ....
