In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya  after graduating from Northwestern University 


On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. 


He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The e lephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. 


Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. 


Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed his stupid azz against the railing, killing him instantly. 


Probably wasn't the same elephant. 


This is for all of my Democrappy friends who send me those heart-warming stories of how wonderful life would be with a democrappy Prez.

General Eisenhower Warned Us?

It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces,
General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered >all
possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from >surrounding
villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury >the dead.?

He did this because he said in words to this effect:?

Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because
somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that >this
never happened'?

This week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because >it
'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. This is >a

1,900 Catholic priests?



who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and
humiliated' while the German people looked the other way!?

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be >'a

and stop saying obama and democrat convention is electrifying......i think is horrid that we the people are allowing ourselves to be fooled by words written from a professinal writer and not the speaker himself...haven't we had enough of the  clintons...why doesn't obama allow any afro americans to speak....is all about the mighty whitey democrat..........in the words of mr. t...........wake up "you fools"

 

 

Most often asked question from my friends:  What do you do with all that time, now that you are retired?   I'm here to clear it up  . . . ..   

The other day I went downtown and went into a shop.  I was only in there for about 5 minutes.  When I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.  I went up to him and said, "Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break"?

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.   I called him a "Nazi."

He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a "doughnut eating Gestapo."  He finished the second ticket and  put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing a third ticket.   This went on for about 20 minutes.  The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, I didn't care.   I came downtown on the bus.   The car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said "Hillary in '08."   I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired.   It's important to my health.

maybe it will bring memories......of his wonderful Monica and Cohiba

 

A woman is in a coma. She has been in it for months. 
 
Nurses were giving her a routine bed bath. 
 
One of them was washing her private area and noticed there was a 
slight response on the monitor whenever she touched that area. 
 
They tried it again and sure enough, there was definite movement. 
 
They explained to her husband what happened, and determined, 
'As crazy as this sounds, maybe a little '0ral Sex' will bring her out 
of the coma.' 
 
The husband was skeptical; they assured him they would close the 
curtains and 
 
he would have complete privacy. The husband agreed and went back to his 
wife's room. 
 
After a few minutes the woman's monitors started wringing, she flat 
lined, no pulse, no heart rate. 
 
Frantic, the nurses run back into the room. What happened!?' they cried. 
The husband said, 'I'm not sure; I think she choked.' 
 
NEVER ASSUME MEN UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. 
 
 
 

A cowgirl, who is visiting Texas from Arkansas , walks into a bar and orders
three mugs of Bud. 
 
She sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. 
 
When she finishes them, she comes back to the bar and orders three more. 
 
The bartender approaches and tells the cowgirl, 'You know, a mug goes flat
after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.' 
 
The cowgirl replies, 'Well, you see, I have two sisters. One is in Australia ,
the other is in Dublin . 
 
When we all l eft our home in Arkansas , we promised that we'd drink this way
to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each
of my sisters and one for myself.' 
 
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. 
 
The cowgirl becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. 
 
She orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. 
 
One day, she comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice
and fall silent.When she comes back to the bar for the second round, the
bartender says, 
 
'I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences
on your loss.' 
 
The cowgirl looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in her eyes
and she laughs. 
 
'Oh, no, everybody's just fine,' she explains,' It's just that my husband and
I joined the Baptist Church and I had to qui t drink ing. 
 
'Hasn't affected my sisters though!'

 

IS BUD - WEISER THAN COLT 45? IS BEN GAY? IS CHARLIE BROWN? IS MARVIN GAY? IS BARRY WHITE? IS HELEN READY? IS YOU IS OR IS YOU ISN'T.........LOL...

 Here SHE is, the USS New York, made
from the  World   Trade   Center !

 

 

USS New
York

It was built with 24
tons of scrap steel from the  World  Trade  
Center .

It is the fifth in a
new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations
against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready
Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault
craft.

Steel from the  
World   Trade   Center was melted down in a foundry in   Amite ,
LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on
Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,'
recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for
everybody there.'

Junior Chavers, foundry
operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he
touched it with his hand and 'the hair on my neck stood up. It had a big meaning
to it for all of us. They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going
to be back.'

The ship's
motto?

'Never
Forget'

Please keep this going
so everyone can see what we are made of in this country!

 

  Obama Releases List of Approved Jokes About Himself Bid to Help Late Night Comics

Saying he is "sympathetic to late night comedians' struggle to find jokes to make about me," Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) today issued a list of official campaign-approved Barack Obama jokes.

The five jokes, which Sen. Obama said he is making available to all comedians free of charge, are as follows:

Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, "You know, we don't get many kangaroos here." Barack Obama replies, "At these prices, I'm not surprised. That's why we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil."

A traveling salesman knocks on the door of a farmhouse, and much to his surprise, Barack Obama answers the door. The salesman says, "I was expecting the farmer's daughter." Barack Obama replies, "She's not here. The farm was foreclosed on because of subprime loans that are making a mockery of the American Dream."

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?" Barack Obama replies, "His jockey just lost his health insurance, which should be the right of all Americans."

Q: What's black and white and red all over?
Barack Obama: The New Yorker magazine, which should be embarrassed after publishing such a tasteless and offensive cover, which I reject and denounce.

A Christian, a Jew and Barack Obama are in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean. Barack Obama says, "This joke isn't going to work because there's no Muslim in this boat."

LGF reader “Megulator” was vacationing in Maine and came upon a “living history museum” that contained a historic post office building. Inside was a cache of FBI wanted posters from 1971, the date the post office building officially closed. Among them: the original FBI Most Wanted poster for Barack Obama associate Bernardine Dohrn:

A woman was very distraught at the fact that she had not had a date or 
any sex in quite some time. 
 
She was afraid she might have something wrong with her, so she decided 
to seek the medical expertise of a sex therapist. 
 
 
 
Her doctor recommended that she see the well known Chinese sex therapist 
Dr. Chang. 
 
 
 
So she went to see him. 
 
Upon entering the examination room Dr. Chang said 'OK take off all your 
crose. ' The woman did as she was told. 
 
'Now get down and craw reery, reery fass to odderside of room.' Again 
the woman did as she was instructed. 
 
Dr. Chang then said 'OK, now craw reery, reery fass back to me.' So she 
did. 
 
Dr. Chang shook his head slowly and said 'Your probrem vewy bad. You 
haf Ed Zachary disease. 
 
Worse case I ever see. Dat why you not haf sex or dates.' 
 
Worried the woman asked anxiously 'Oh my God Dr.Chang what is Ed Zachary 
Disease ?' 
 
Dr. Chang sighed deeply and replied 'Ed Zachary Disease is when your 
face look Ed Zachary like your aZZ.'

Obama, Justice Thomas and Col. West: On MoralityBy James Lewis
Far too many folks on the Left just point the finger of generalized bigotry at their critics, in a sort of moral version of a skunk's spray attack. That skunk smell of race baiting just hangs in the air for days afterwards. Random accusations of racial bigotry have poisoned our national conversation for decades. They are truly the last resort of a scoundrel.

So  let's just compare the moral seriousness and intellectual heft of three black heroes: Barack Obama, Justice Clarence Thomas, and Lt. Col. Allen West.

A white liberal friend of mine is sure in his own mind that Justice Clarence Thomas is an intellectual lightweight. Why? Has he read any of Thomas' Supreme Court opinions? No. He's never bothered. But he's heard about Justice Thomas on NPR.

I have no doubt that my friend, who is a wealthy Marxist Hungarian capitalist (don't even ask), will vote for Obama. Why? Because he is sure that George W. Bush is the worst president the United States has ever had. The evidence? Yes, yes -- heard it on NPR, or read it in the NYT, or in his local liberal rag.

Let's get serious. Justice Thomas strikes me, with my admittedly limited knowledge of his legal opinions, as an extraordinarily admirable man. His roots in the painfully segregated South; his period of black radicalism; his return to his personal religious faith; his rise in the strange mixture of politics and law that we use -- rightly or wrongly -- to evaluate the character of our Supreme Court nominees; his Supreme Court nomination by George H.W. Bush followed by a "high tech lynching" before the demagogues of the US Senate Judiciary Committee; his humility, despair, and search for love and moral strength in that crisis; his fairness, his personal sense of balance, his sense of humor, and his common touch as a Supreme Court Justice. Clarence Thomas is absolutely Shakespearean.  Here is a man I would trust.

Or consider a current hero of a lot of conservatives, Lt. Col. Allen B. West, now running as a civilian for Congress from Florida's 22nd District. Col. West knowingly sacrificed his Army career to save the lives of his soldiers in Iraq. In late 2002, he shot off a pistol next to a terror suspect in Iraq to make him confess to a hidden ambush. The man confessed, Col. West's patrol got through safely, and the Colonel immediately told his superior and his staff about his actions, knowing full well that he had risked his military career. 

It is Allen West who should be celebrated in our media, not the sleazoids responsible for Abu Ghraib -- who were on their way to an Army court martial when the press found out about them. West represents the ideals and the actions of the great majority of our military. But as usual, the media mob tells us a lot more about their own blinders, than about the reality of war, when they select the headlines. 

Lt. Col. West was faced with a supremely difficult moral choice, and unhesitatingly chose the right and painful course. He was duly court-martialed. To listen to him, he has never doubted his actions, and I'm sure his troops have never doubted him. But you can be sure that he and his family went through months of anguish, just as Justice Thomas did during the awful US Senate hearings, when he was assaulted every day by the hyenas in the press. Col. West is a paragon of leadership. His moment of crisis is a classic case of clear moral thinking, of the kind that civilians rarely confront -- or if we do, we tend to retreat into denial, as we have seen so often among our sleazier politicians when their real actions are exposed.  

I would trust Alan West the way his troops trusted him: to make the right decision, to be brave in battle, to be entirely clear about the difference between an enemy that blows up innocents for vengeance and the United States armed forces; to protect the men and women under his command, but still lead them into danger when necessary; and to bring his own intellectual and moral clarity to a political system that constantly corrupts frail human beings. (Work for West, for goodness' sake, all you Floridians!)

Now weigh Justice Thomas and Lt. Col. West in the same balance that we are asked to weigh Senator Barack Obama. And let's be kind in the process.

Barack Obama is intelligent, attractive, articulate, able to learn quickly, and, as he tells us, a moral Rorschach blot. Senator Obama is a supremely ambitious politician, not itself a sin, but certainly a constant source of temptation to make moral compromises. His lifelong ambition and sense of more-than-human destiny have led him to curry favor with Chicago Machine politicians and corruptocrats, not least the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the wretched Father Michael Pfleger, and unrepentant Leftist terrorists Bernardine Dohrn and William Ayers.
These are not good people. They are demagogues and limousine lefties, exploiters of the poor for their own overblown egos, manipulators of power and influence. Sure, they talk up goodness and compassion -- but their idea of compassion is to stir up race hatred for political gain or plant bombs to kill those with whom they disagree politically.  They simply flunk any sensible test of humane judgment. Saul Alinsky is a great example of this kind of character; after all, he dedicated his famous Rules for Radicals to Satan, the very symbol of wretched human evil.

Such people don't even exist in the same scale of morality as Clarence Thomas and Alan West. They are zeroes. They do not live in a world of personal responsibility. They have never, as far as we can tell, sacrificed a smidgen of personal ego for a greater cause; they utterly lack humility; they routinely slander and smear millions of other Americans, including (we can safely assume) people like Col. Alan West and Justice Clarence Thomas.

So Obama made friends with this crowd of sleazoids in order to rise to the top in Chicago politics. The Senator is not the most honest person in the world, witness his wild gyrations on matters of substance -- including anguished moral questions like live-birth abortions. He has explicitly told us in Audacity that he tailors his words to whatever audience he's trying to impress. Obama has never raised any public doubts about people like Rev. Otis Moss IV, a real sweetheart of a preacher who tells his black parishioners that to whites, all blacks are cursed with leprosy. That is a libel, and it is cynically designed to stir up hatred.    

We have never heard Obama denounce Louis Farrakhan, who has defended the Black Muslims' assassination of Malcolm X, Obama's boyhood hero. Obama is morally compromised by a lifelong quest for power. It has made him famous, powerful, and rich; but it has not demonstrated moral strength and courage. No, no, no, no! as Rev. Wright might have said. Obama is a morally compromised man.

Barack Obama is a talented politician, articulate when his speech is printed out on his teleprompter, and as wriggly as Bill Clinton. He has minimal experience in the real world, including the world of national politics. He is both ambitious, yet personally immature and overly touchy at the same time. He is constantly enticed by his bizarre campaign decision to depict him as President of the United States without all the fuss and bother of an election; look at the Berlin speech, the "President Obama" name plate on his official airplane seat, and his constant efforts to act presidential, making a stream of embarrassing pratfalls in the process. When Obama talks off the cuff he's a disaster waiting to happen. He and his crew do put on a great rock show, with Barack as the Man on the White Horse come to rescue America, a kind of American Caudillo like Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez, showing off his outsized ego before the worshipful masses. But that is a very Third World display, a way of compensating for intense feelings of inferiority.  American politicians have never gotten away with it.

Senator Obama has a tendency to claim special protection from criticism because he is black, and therefore a victim -- although he has no slavery in his family background (at least slaves), and has never encountered the degradations of the Dixiecrat South in which Clarence Thomas grew up. Obama is a lifelong child of privilege, from birth all the way to Harvard Law School and the US Senate. Yes his mother was a single mom, but one with a PhD and a mother who was a bank vice president, enabling her to spend her time overseas mostly unencumbered by a child. In contrast, Lt. Col. West has never claimed special privileges because he was black -- and has never needed to, as far as we can know. He has too strong a sense of personal honor. He is too clear in his values to need that kind of crutch.

So who is the picture of morality? Who has character and integrity? Who is intellectually honest? Who has lived through the toughest times without compromise? Who has shown true leadership, and earned the trust of men and women under his command? I would vote for Col. West or Justice Thomas any day of the week. They have the character and strength we desperately need in our weak and morally confused political class.

It's quite possible that Senator Obama will mature and have a constructive political career. He's just not ready for it now. Voting for Obama is like letting an untested rookie be the quarterback in the Super Bowl. But of course the outcome is not a football game, but the presidency of the United States:  the man or woman who bears the safety and well-being of this country and the world in his hands.
Is Obama ready for that? Not for a second. Will he be ready after another ten years of seasoning and experience? Maybe.

Are we being bigoted in preferring Lt. Col. West and Justice Thomas as our moral heroes?

You be the judge.

Don't let them bully you with the race card. 

This is so unbelievable. In 1969, how did he know? 

 
Some of you may remember him but he passed away before many of you were 
born. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He also ended every show by 
saying, 'GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS.' Listen to the end of this. It is 
something he said 39 years ago. 
 
 
Very important that you listen to the very end! Eerie! Take a moment and 
listen to it (from 1969). How would he have known that this is what is 
happening now?

OPINION We Can't Tax Our Way Out of the Entitlement Crisis By R. GLENN HUBBARD
August 21, 2008

Given the hearty support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama received in Europe last month, he must have noticed the surprise and skepticism among some Germans when he asked that Europeans contribute more for defense. Many Europeans argue they cannot afford such an additional expenditure.

They are right. And therein lies a cautionary tale for the United States, because continental Europe has been following something like Mr. Obama's plans for spending and taxes.

Mr. Obama has revealed his plans in stages. First, on his campaign Web site, he indicated he would solve the long-run solvency of Social Security (a good thing). In a Sept. 21, 2007, op-ed in Iowa's Quad-City Times, he ruled out benefit cuts to achieve solvency and looked first to payroll taxes (a bad thing). Last week, on this page, his economic advisers clarified his evolving tax proposals.

The spending shortfalls in Social Security and Medicare are large. According to the Congressional Budget Office, Social Security and Medicare spending left unchecked would, after a generation, consume about 10 percentage points more of GDP than it does today.

Simple arithmetic suggests that with this much more of GDP eaten up by the two programs, all federal taxes on average would have to be raised by more than 50% to make up the shortfall. Research by economists Eric Engen of the Federal Reserve Board and Jonathan Skinner of Dartmouth suggests that such a tax increase would reduce long-term GDP growth by about a full percentage point. This is no small matter: Think of it as reversing all of the gains in our long-term growth rate from the productivity boom of the past 15 years.

Now it is easy to understand European concerns about higher defense spending. Large entitlement budgets almost certainly cannot be financed with growth-chilling taxes alone. Spending on other areas, including defense but also education, research, etc., must also be adversely affected.

In their op-ed on this page, Obama economic advisers Jason Furman and Austan Goolsbee noted that taxpayers whose incomes exceeded $250,000 would face an additional Social Security payroll tax increase of four percentage points (in addition to a five-percentage-point increase in the top marginal income tax rate). This new payroll tax plan would affect the top 3% of earners.

The new payroll tax hike is more modest than the one Mr. Obama hinted at last fall, which might have uncapped the payroll tax entirely. But it would also do very little to shore up Social Security, since it means that no more than 15% of Social Security's long-term funding gap would be closed. Thus, if Mr. Obama is indeed opposed to reductions in Social Security spending growth, he is necessarily committed to large future payroll-tax or general income-tax increases.

And what of those other tax increases? In May 2007, candidate Obama proposed to offset costs of his health-care plan in part by allowing the Bush tax cuts on Americans earning over $250,000 to expire. But Mr. Furman and Mr. Goolsbee suggested that dividend and capital gains tax rates would be raised to 20%, but well below levels (for dividends) prior to the 2003 tax cut. While kudos are due to this tempering of a tax increase, one can infer from the candidate's earlier statements that the senator had counted on these revenues to offset health-care spending and to pay for middle-class tax cuts.

In short, Mr. Obama has articulated a plan for higher federal spending, leaving open the question of what tax increases are next.

If Mr. Obama is going to increase spending, will he raise the money by higher business taxes instead? He has already distanced himself from John McCain's call to reduce America's corporate tax rate, and he is committed to raising tax rates on successful small business owners who pay individual as opposed to corporate income taxes. Does this mean he will raise tax burdens on individuals with annual incomes less than $250,000?

In a June 26 interview on the Fox Business channel, Mr. Obama said he wanted to roll back the Bush tax cuts for those in the top 5% of incomes -- that is, about $145,000 per year. He also voted for the Democrats' fiscal year 2009 Budget Resolution, which would raise taxes on individuals earning $42,000 or more.

There is another fiscal way. Balancing the federal budget without a tax increase is possible, but will require strong fiscal restraint. To achieve full-employment budget balance by the end of the next president's term in office, federal nondefense spending growth needs to be restrained to 2% per year instead of the currently projected 4.5%. And modest defense spending increases to fund costs of needed improvements in national security are possible.

We can also secure a firm financial footing for Social Security (and Medicare) without choking off economic growth or curtailing our flexibility to pursue other spending priorities. Three actions are essential: (1) reduce entitlement spending growth through some form of means testing; (2) eliminate all nonessential spending in the rest of the budget; and (3) adopt policies that promote economic growth. This 180-degree difference from Mr. Obama's fiscal plan forms the basis of Sen. McCain's priorities for spending, taxes and health care.

The problem with Mr. Obama's fiscal plans is not that that they lack vision. On the contrary, the vision is plain enough: a larger welfare state paid for by higher taxes. The problem is not even that they imply change. The problem is that his plans are statist.

While the candidate is sending a fiscal "Ich bin ein Berliner" message to Americans, European critics of his call for greater spending on defense are the canary in the coal mine for what lies ahead with his vision for the United States.
