JOKE: How to stay single.
Category: Blogging

 

After the last child was born, she told me we had to cut back on expenses - I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big drinker, maybe a 12-pack on weekends.

Anyway, I gave it up but I noticed the other day when she came home from grocery shopping the receipt included $45 in makeup.

I said, "Wait a minute, I've given up beer and you haven't given up anything!"

She said, "I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you."

I told her, "Hell, that's what the beer was for!" 

I don't think she'll be back.

BLONDE JOKE FOR THURSDAY
Category: Blogging

A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it...:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

"Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me."

 The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream.

The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you?

"Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde."

"I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken."

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Texan?
Category: Blogging

Here is a joke that was forwarded to me by a coworker:

 Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Texan?

 Here is a little test that will help you decide.
 
 The answer can be found by posing the following question:
 
 You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small    children.
 
 Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
 
 You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
 
 You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
 
  ................
 
  THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:
  
   ...............
  Democrat's Answer:
 
  Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
 
  Does the man look poor or oppressed?
 
  Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
 
  Could we run away?
 
  What does my wife think? What about the kids?
 
  Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

  What does the law say about this situation?
 
  Does the weapon have appropriate safety built into it?
 
  Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
 
   Should I call 9-1-1?
 
   Why is this street so deserted?
 
   We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
 
   This is all so confusing! I need to debate t his with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.
 
   ...........................
  
   Republican's Answer:   BANG!
   ............................
  
Texan's Answer:
 
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading)
 
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click
 
Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?"
 
Son: "Can I shoot the next one!"
 
Wife: "You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist."

CHERTOFF: ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE DIRTY
Category: News and Politics

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff stated the following towards illegal immigrants from Mexico: "Illegal immigrants really degrade the environment. I've seen pictures of human waste, garbage, discarded bottles and other human artifacts in pristine areas,...And believe me, that is the worst thing you can do to the environment.'' 

He made the statement before the AP defending the construction of the 670-mile long border fence along the US-Mexico border.

His comments basically states that Mexicans are dirty, care less about the environment, and cause damage to our natural resources.  And when Mexicans cross the border, they bring their qualities into our "pristine" nation. 

Although Mexicans do rely on dirty fuel to power their nation and do not have the environmental protective policies similar to the US, the illegal immigrants that do come to the US are hired to do the menial labor of keeping our nation "prestine."

IT’S BEEN TOO LONG
Category: Blogging

It's been a very long time since I last blogged.  Life for me has been busy.  I guess everyone's life has been the same too.  Honestly, I just haven't had time to write anything or provide my opinion on anything. 

Don't get me wrong.  There has been numerous stuff I could have blogged about this past summer.  It is just that the effort to type an opinion about something really does take a lot of time. 

I admire those bloggers who find time to share your views on issues that are important to our world. I love to read the blogs that provide new perspectives--perspectives that many of us just either decide to ignore or just call them illogical. 

Bloggers, continue to share your views and be that voice, because there is a population that actually do read and take your thoughts into consideration. 

Campaign season is upon us and many readers, especially our younger generation, will turn to your blogging for insight.

As a promise, I will try to participate in blogging a little bit more and share my views and opinions on certain political issues.

CRADDICK THE FLU
Category: News and Politics

The Quorum Report has posted that Senator Kyle Janek (R-Houston) will fillibuster the State's budget.  Burnt Orange further reports that this filibuster might actually be in response to the House's chaos; however, the Houston Chronicle's Kristen Mack believes it might actually be because the budget doesn't provide sufficient reimbursement to counties for indigent care.

Nonetheless, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst (R-Houston), who presides before the Texas Senate, has never really seen eye-to-eye with House Speaker Tom Craddick (R-Midland).  As Burnt Orange reports, if there is a Special Session called on the Budget, then Craddick might actually have a hard time keeping his chair.

The sad thing is that if there is no state budget by August 31, then the state of Texas cannot function.
