As a fun spoof and to show our support of Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2nd Amendment, and the general concept that women love Guns/God/& Country just as much as the men do, we are compiling a photo essay of local women & their guns. Unfortunately, though most of us CAN SHOOT...I don't think a one of us can field dress a moose. Palin's still got us there :)
One of my employees was gracious enough to let me use a family heirloom for my photo. Somehow my 380 pistol just didn't fit the bill :) And, since my little dog Scooter is a good Republican too...he had to get in the photo as well :) This is a Tennessee long rifle type gun that probably served the country in it's day. Go McCain Palin & God Bless the USA, our traditions, and our rights!
This week’s Thematic Photographic is angles.I have too many computers between work and home and laptop…but my original post was going to be some photos that I took at Taliesin West, the foundation creation of Frank Lloyd Wright, but my photos can’t even compare to others…Wright was the King of Angles.
So instead…I post my photo with NO ANGLES…but a MENTAL ANGLE.
Just when you think there is no angle in which to find the light at the end of the tunnel…there is always the “above” angle.When you can’t see light…look up…there’s always some light there :)
(First photo of Taliesin was pirated from Google Images…sorry…)Take the tour someday though if you’re ever in Scottsdale, AZ, it’s WELL WORTH THE EDUCATION!!!
I’m certainly NOT a math teacher, but I’d like to compare TWO CENTS to 700 BILLION and RED FLAGS, may I?
Here’s my take on the “Bail-Out Bill” and its fortunate demise today.Mine will be only the 4 Billionth opinion written in the blogosphere, so if we were all paid $1 (a great raise over our $.02 cents worth), we could have solved the world’s problem for 175th the actual cost of the $700 BILLION “plan”…so folks, it’s my pleasure…skip the donate button tonight, I don’t need your dollar or your two cents :)But…just for an actual reference…keep in mind that if we ALL DID get our two cents due us… (and there were 4 Billion bloggers), that would be 80 MILLION DOLLARS…you just imagine what 80 MILLION dollars could do, and if only all bloggers got two cents…that we donated to a WORTHY CAUSE…we’d be able to spend 80 MILLION on something GOOD.Points of reference…need ‘em today…they’re IMPORTANT!
RED FLAGS…didn’t your Mamma ever teach you the concept of a RED FLAG?Or perhaps “Something Fishy in Denmark”…ever heard that one?“If it’s TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, it probably IS”…at least the dumbest of us all knows that one?This bill STANK from high heaven from the get go.You gotta’ understand Capitalism.It means if you make something cool…it costs you $1.50 to make it…you hope that you can sell it for $2.00 at least, maybe $10, and certainly NOT FOR TWO CENTS!The basics start there.
If you make a lot of crappy stuff at the cost of $1.50 and CANNOT SELL IT…and I laugh at you and TELL YOU that your widget is crappy and NOBODY will buy it…and MILLIONS (not even to billion yet) of other people TELL YOU…why would you continue to produce said crappy widget at the cost of $1.50 that is only sellable at $.02?YOU WOULDN’T!YOU COULDN’T!At the simple rate of sale of $.02 over the cost of $1.50…you would ONLY BE ABLE TO PRODUCE 75 (SEVENTY FIVE) crappy widgets before YOU WERE OUT OF MONEY!If I’m your best friend…and you come to me and say, “Hey friend…could you front me a bail-out?I’ve only got 75 widgets and I need to sell 50,000 of my crappy widgets for $.02 cents to make my $1000 house payment!Can I borrow money from you?Will you just GIVE me some?I’m only at 75 widgets and I need 50,000 EVERY MONTH!”You’d tell your own best friend to blow you!
Also…If you were in a club that had 100 members and 51 members HAD to VOTE your way to get that give-out or bail-out loan from your friends…and YOU KNEW THAT 55 OF YOUR CLUB MEMBERS thought exactly like you…WHY WOULD YOU GO TO THE 45 of your enemies to have the money you NEEDED SO DESPERATELY TO SURVIVE?YOU WOULDN’T!YOU WOULDN’T EVEN NEED TO!
If your crappy widgets cost $1.50 to make and you could only sell it for your two cents worth of eloquence or public speaking ability, it would cost your friend $75,000 to loan you enough money to make your $1000 house payment!Are you getting me here?
What if your friend went to the enemies of the club house and told them that “Trust me…when my widgets become really popular (like crappy widgets ever take an up-surge), MY WIDGETS WILL BE WORTH $3.00…NOT $.02 CENTS?WON’T THAT BE GRAND FOR YOU!For your mere $75,000 investment that will profit you ONLY $1000 TODAY…THAT BY THE WAY YOU LET ME HAVE FOR MY HOUSE PAYMENT EVERY MONTH UNTIL THE WIDGETS BECOME POPULAR…TOMORROW…(more like NEVER), you could “potentially” stand to see a profit of $75,000!YOU DOUBLED YOUR MONEY :)“Aren’t I A GOOD FRIEND to give you that opportunity?
RED FLAG FOLKS…BIG RED FLAG!We have the Democrats who COULD PUSH THIS VOTE THROUGH THE CLUB HOUSE without even having to speak to an “enemy”, and they WON’T DO IT!THEY DIDN’T DO IT, AND THEY CAN’T DO IT…BUT WE KNOW THEY WILL DO IT!
Because, while your friend in the clubhouse is screwing you up your rear…while having access to your wallet in your back pocket while he has your hands bound behind your back (and “he” tied your hands by merely mentioning the threat of doom and gloom…the Armageddon of Finance…the worst thing since the Great Depression)…the NEED for bi-partisan agreement…he ROBBED YOU.He robbed your kids, your grandkids, your Mamma and your Daddy…who already plan trips to the grocery store based on when they’ll have to fill up the car with gas at $4.00 per gallon…just a mere $1.00 more than your brilliant widget will be worth whenever the heck it becomes valuable.“He” already ROBBED YOU ONCE BEFORE…but you never noticed when you bought those widgets in the first place…and yes we ALL BOUGHT THEM!We didn’t stop them when they were creating bad finance, but now all of a sudden we must BAIL THEM OUT of bad finance?It’s a double edged sword.You’ve already paid for it once (it was secret and hidden in interest rates, fees, whossits, and whatevers…but you paid for it already), and NOW…you get to pay for it AGAIN!
OH!WAIT…I saved some “cheer for you” to attempt to swallow.Government brings a “whole new meaning to swallow” for those that get that…Your friend/enemy…remember him from the clubhouse?He is SO HAPPY that EVENTUALLY YOU’LL MAKE $75,000 on his crappy widgets that he convinces YOU…the SMART INVESTOR…RIGHT?He convinces YOU that you should take some of your profit and give it to OTHER GUYS with CRAPPY WIDGETS because Their Widgets Too are only selling for $.02 cents when they should AT LEAST be getting $1 One Dollar for them…like ACORN…they do so much for us all!They were HAPPY to see their tenants LEAVE when we let the “little people” buy houses in crack districts.They weren’t paying rent anyway…good riddance.So…for the privilege of letting low income, no rent paying, no mortgage paying derelicts becoming home owners in the burbs…OUR BRILLIANT GOVERNMENT decided to take part of your NOT REAL $75,000 you made off your friend/enemy in the clubhouse and give it BACK TO THEM so they could “improve” the torn down trashed out dumps they want to rent again to MORE FUTURE MEMBERS of the club house that think two cents isn’t much!The cycle continues…AND YOU CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR THEM!
BY THE WAY ON A REALLY GOOD NOTE…Thank You and Thank You again Congressman Dean Heller of Nevada for voting AGAINST this horrible bill that will fix NOTHING!You are a main-stay and friend of every minimum waged citizen of Nevada and you remain a mainstay for those of us fortunate enough to make a little more :)It’s my PLEASURE AND HONOR to give you my vote in November!
Whether you are PRO-LIFE, or NOT…this should chap your ass down to your tailbone!WARNING: BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER…UNLOAD YOUR GUNS…PRETEND YOU’RE NOT BITTER…AND HIDE YOUR BULLETS WHERE YOU CAN’T FIND ‘EM…AND KNEEL DOWN TO PRAY TO THAT GOD YOU HIDE BEHIND…’cause you might have a hankerin’ to go a shootin’ after reading this :)The esteemed Obama “approved this message” and sent out THIS NOTICE FOR A CASTING CALL to find “break your heart” females aged 15-19…THAT’S FREAKING 15-19…NOT EVEN “OF AGE” GIRLS…to star in an anti-pro life ad against McCain-Palin.
Folks, it doesn’t stoop any lower than this.CLICK THIS LINK…THEN CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE the actual document and MAKE SURE you read every disgusting word of it.AND I QUOTE FROM THE MESSIAH’S INSTRUCTIONS for the “casting call”…
“BRUNETTE OR DARK BLONDE: - Caucasian girl 15-19 yrs. Old.She should be able to evoke a lot of emotion without talking.A girl that can break your heart.She’s your sister, your cousin, your daughter, your neighbor.She’s a victim of incest and pregnant now…forced to keep her child b/c Roe v Wade overturned means no exception for rape or incest.”
If that’s not evil enough…here’s what you get paid if you “win” the casting call…NOTHING…NADA…OH BUT WAIT…YOU GET A FREAKING DVD!
“Rate/Compensation:NONE – but production will supply talent with a DVD of the ad.”
There ya have it folks.Sell your soul to the devil…(hummnnn, excuse me the messiah) to be a pregnant kid who’s uncle screwed ‘em and you get a DVD for your efforts.Well, isn’t that nice.
Why only brunette or Caucasian girls?Black girls don’t get raped?Redheads don’t get raped?Fifteen to nineteen years old…25 year old fat ugly girls don’t get raped or screwed by their white/black/yellow/red trash uncles?Give me a break.This is marketing in its skankiest form!Way to go Obama!Let’s vote in CHANGE!
