The following post is from [b]Mark Hyman's [/b][i]"The Point"[/i] commentary:
"[b]John Kerry [/b]has made his four months of military service in swift boats in Vietnam the centerpiece of his campaign. His campaign's purchased tens of millions of dollars in commercial advertising promoting it. He authorized a biography on the subject. And he speaks of his brief service 35 years ago every time he gets a chance. No one's dragged this out of him. He alone has been promoting it.
[b]More than 200 Vietnam vets who served alongside Kerry in swift boats including 19 of his 23 fellow swift boat commanders signed a letter declaring him unfit to be president.[/b] [b]All of Kerry's commanding officers signed the letter. This is humongous news.[/b] On May 4th, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, made up of Democrats and Republicans, held a press conference to release the letter. The group notes that Kerry is using one Vietnam era photograph in his campaign despite the fact that 12 of the eighteen people in the picture have signed the letter. Pretty strong stuff.
[b]But ABC, NBC and CNN think otherwise. It never made their evening newscasts. It's as if the group and their letter never existed. Which is the goal of these liberal networks. They don't want you to know that nearly every single Vietnam vet who served alongside Kerry has condemned him.[/b] Guess which candidate for president ABC, NBC and CNN support?" - Mark Hyman
[i]"The only presidential memoir with a centerfold... a little something for the ladies."[/i] - [b]Darrell Hammond [/b](SNL) commenting on former president Clinton's soon to be released 900+ page memoirs
[i]“I want you to go to the janitor, to the lady cleaning out the trash, the men and the women that you don’t see. Take one or two of them and say, ‘Tell me about this place. What is real, what isn’t?’ You’ll get an awful lot of information,”[/i] [b]Bill Cosby[/b]
My wife and I went to Red Lobster last night and ended up spending $38.00. The bill would've only been $32.00 (which is still a lot), but we had to tip $6.00!!!
So today I was whining to a friend about how much we had to tip and he said he thought it would be cool if restaurants had a self serve section. I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I think that's a brilliant idea!
Imagine you go into a restaurant like Chilli's (which is my wife's and my favorite) and you walk right past all the people waiting in line to be seated and seat yourself in the self serve section. There would be a bucket full of "Wet Wipes" to clean off the tables and then there would be a stack of menus where you can check off your order like you would at a sushi bar. Then you take your order up to the check out register like at Bob Evans, order and pay for it. Then when your order is up, your vibrating beeper thingy (like the ones given out at Olive Garden) would go off signaling for you to come pick it up.
When you finish eating you put your tray back on top of the trash can and you wipe off your table with the provided "Wet Wipes."
I know that most women would probably hate this idea because it means not having anyone wait on you and is therefore unromantic, but I don't care about service. I care about eating better food more often and if there was no tip, we would be able to do so.
When I go out, I prefer that my server be a dick so then I can tip only 10% and leave with a clear conscience.
Essentially, my wife and I paid $6.00 last night for someone to take our order and then bring it out when it was ready. I would rather be able to serve myself and get a more expensive meal. Oh, I almost forgot about the soda pop stations where you can get your own refills at will. Mmmm... refills. :lol:
Has it ever occurred to anyone else out there that people in infomercials are not only the worst actors, but are also the [i][b]MOST UNCOORDINATED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD?[/b][/i] I must admit that I watch way too many of these things. I began watching them in college because I was always high and just about anything will entertain you when you're baked. The thing I loved about them was that people on infomercials have so much passion and excitement about the dumbest things. And they always have some attractive chic who is just way too amazed at how well some vacuum cleaner works. I also love how each and every single infomercial says, [b]"BUT WAIT"[/b] at least thirty-five times! But my favorite part about every infomercial is the reinactment demonstrating how something like a philips head screwdriver just isn't cutting it anymore.
I must admit I bought a hand held sewing maching called the [i]"Handi-Stitch."[/i] That was the first and last thing I bought from an infomercial. That thing was a piece of [b]horse shit!!! [/b]I bought it because I had snagged the pocket of my cargo shorts on something and I just wanted to sew the rip up. Well, the "Handy Stitch" couldn't even sew through a piece of paper!
So the moral of this story is [i]don't take the bait!!![/i] :x
Alright here's the game. Imagine that your parents are being held hostage by Al Quaida and they will be executed unless you look at one of the two celebrities naked. Who do you choose?
[b]A)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Ed Asner [b]B)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Camryn Manheim [b]C)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Whoopi Goldberg [b]D)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Michael Moore [b]E)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Edward James Olmos [b]F)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Nell Carter [b]G)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Dennis Franz [b]H)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) Wayne Knight (Newman) [b]I)[/b] 1) Rosie O'Donnell or 2) James Earle Jones
Gas prices are too high and I'm confused. [b]I thought this war in Iraq was for oil? If so, we really stink at fighting wars for oil.[/b] I remember watching Viggo Mortenson (of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy) do an interview with Charlie Rose in which he (Viggo) wore a shirt he made that said [i]"No Blood For Oil!"[/i] I wonder what Viggo is saying now? I wish someone would go ask Viggo and all the other like minded celebrity activists why our gas prices are so high?
John Kerry you are an idiot. I don't like paying fifty cents more per gallon, [b]BUT I DON'T THINK WE ARE IN SUCH DESPERATE TIMES THAT WE SHOULD TAP INTO THE NATION'S STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVES![/b] Duh! The reserves are for a crisis! What an idiot, we are at war and the middle east is more unstable today then ever before and John Kerry advocates using our reserves now. Of course if we did that and ran the reserves dry, then he would be complaining that Bush purposely emptied them so that his oil cronies could get richer.
John Kerry is a Jackass and I hope he doesn't win in November if for no other reason than he looks like Jay Leno with his head in a vice!
This is a letter from Ray Reynolds, a medic in the Iowa Army National Guard, serving in Iraq: As I head off to Baghdad for the final weeks of my stay in Iraq, I wanted to say thanks to all of you who did not believe the media. They have done a very poor job of covering everything that has happened. I am sorry that I have not been able to visit all of you during my two week leave back home. And just so you can rest at night knowing something is happening in Iraq that is noteworthy, I thought I would pass this on to you. This is the list of things that has happened in Iraq recently: (Please share it with your friends and compare it to the version that your paper is producing.) * Over 400,000 kids have up-to-date immunizations. * School attendance is up 80% from levels before the war. * Over 1,500 schools have been renovated and rid of the weapons stored there so education can occur. * The port of Uhm Qasar was renovated so grain can be off-loaded from ships faster. * The country had its first 2 billion barrel export of oil in August. * Over 4.5 million people have clean drinking water for the first time ever in Iraq. * The country now receives 2 times the electrical power it did before the war. * 100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed, compared to 35% before the war. * Elections are taking place in every major city, and city councils are in place. * Sewer and water lines are installed in every major city. * Over 60,000 police are patrolling the streets. * Over 100,000 Iraqi civil defense police are securing the country. * Over 80,000 Iraqi soldiers are patrolling the streets side by side with US soldiers. * Over 400,000 people have telephones for the first time ever * Students are taught field sanitation and hand washing techniques to prevent the spread of germs. * An interim constitution has been signed. * Girls are allowed to attend school. * Textbooks that don't mention Saddam are in the schools for the first time in 30 years. Don't believe for one-second that these people do not want us there. I have met many, many people from Iraq that want us there, and in a bad way. They say they will never see the freedoms we talk about but they hope their children will. We are doing a good job in Iraq and I challenge anyone, anywhere to dispute me on these facts. So If you happen to run into John Kerry, be sure to give him my email address and send him to Denison, Iowa. This soldier will set him straight. If you are like me and very disgusted with how this period of rebuilding has been portrayed, email this to a friend and let them know there are good things happening. Ray Reynolds, SFC Iowa Army National Guard 234th Signal Battalion
I was thinking a while ago that [b]Gay marriage[/b] is going to be bad for not only the institution of marriage and the US's morality, but for HOMOSEXUALS more than anything else.
Last year I got a new computer and soon after, the Lord began convicting me of spending too much time using it. This scared me quite a bit because I was afraid that the Lord was going to call on me to get rid of it and I didn't want to for a number of reasons the biggest being that I had just spent $1,500.00 on it.
The way I see it, if we allow gays to marry, then we are allowing them to place a wall of (in their eyes) legitimized sin between them and Jesus. In my opinion, it's already harder for Homosexuals than any other social group to turn their lives over to Jesus because that means that they totally have to lose the center of their lives, which for them is their sexuality. For me returning to Christ after college meant quitting smoking weed. Now for me that was huge, but comparing that to liking girls. That's the equivalent of what these people are going to have to go through in order to walk with Christ. So now that gay marriage has been legalized in Mass. if a homosexual wants to come to Christ, they are going to be able to rationalize thier relationship because they will say that God is against divorce. They will ask how God could ever ask them to divorce someone if He is so against divorce? I also think that their is definitely a spiritual bond that takes place in marriage where the two become one. Now I don't think that bond will take place in gay marriages because God won't be recognizing these unions with His blessings, BUT we all know that their is a spiritual connection that takes place between all humans who engage in sex whether it be hetero, or homo.
I was listening to talk radio today and something that was said reminded me of the movie [b]DIEHARD[/b]. I'm sure this will piss off all the liberal media brainwashed, down with America bloggers out there, but who cares about them? Anyway, I was thinking that that guy [b]NILES[/b], who was [b]HOLLY GENERO'S [/b]co worker in the [b]NACHATOMI[/b] (sp?) building is todays' liberal appeasing democrat. Remember how he tried to negotiate with [b]HANS GRUBER [/b]the terrorist? Yeah, well what did that get him? A shot to the head if I remember correctly. So who does that make [b]JOHN MCCLAIN[/b]? The hawk, conservative Republican. [b]JOHN MCLAIN[/b] realized that you cannot negotiate with evil. So he single handedly took it to the terrorists, kind of like the USA. :wink:
Today my wife told me that she wants to shop for a new pair of jean shorts sometime this week. So I jokingly asked her if she was going to get a pair of "mom shorts" meaning the kind of shorts that moms wear, that ride up past their navels. She said no, but shared that ironically she has struggled the past couple of years to find a pair of shorts that weren't obscene because of how short they were.
It's very odd to me that men's shorts have all gotten longer throughout this past decade, while women's shorts are becoming increasingly short.
Now I'm glad it isn't the other way around because if I had to choose between witnessing a dude in a pair of skimpy nut-huggers, or a chic in what amounts to a denim, bikini bottom, I'd choose the chic everytime. But truth be told, I'd prefer not being forced to view either!!!
While my wife and I shopped today at the mall, I noticed that all the girls around me looked like Britney Spears clones (translation = SLUTS)! I cannot fathom for the life of me how parents can let their precious daughters leave the house wearing the stuff they do these days. I don't give a crap if that's whats in!!! All I know is that if my wife and I ever have a daughter, she's going to dress like Nelly Olsen whether she likes it or not. :shock:
"Here's a story you won't see headlined in the elite media. According to the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy (search), a study of gay marriage in Sweden shows that gay men have a 50 percent higher divorce rating than heterosexuals, and lesbians divorce at a rate 167 percent higher than straight couples. Whoa... The study doesn't say why and I don't know either. To speculate would be ridiculous but perhaps we can ask the "Queer Eye" guys." :wink:
