Commenting on a complaint from a Mr. Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said,
'We agree it was rather high for the time of year.
It's possible Mr. Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house.'

Little Johnny has a great history lesson................
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said, 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Johnny, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775", he said.
"Very good! Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth'"?
Again, no response except from Little Johnny, "Abraham Lincoln, 1863."
The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed; Little Johnny knows more about history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "F@#$ the Indians."
"Who said that?" she demanded.
Little Johnny put his hand up, "General Custer, 1862."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."
The teacher glares around and asks, "All right! Now who said that?"
Again, Little Johnny says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
Little Johnny jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you."
Little Johnny frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004."
The teacher fainted.
And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit! We're screwed!"
Little Johnny bowed his head and said quietly, "The American people, November 4, 2008."

What Air is to Fire
"Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires. But it could not be less folly to abolish liberty, which is essential to political life, because it nourishes faction, than it would be to wish the annihilation of air, which is essential to animal life, because it imparts to fire its destructive agency. The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. . . . " James Madison
If people refuse to govern themselves at all -- let alone well -- it is unlikely that a bureaucratic state will be in any position to lessen destructive impulses. Both New York and California are Pushing for Constitutional Conventions. If our politicians were anything like truthful, they would point to these two states and instruct Obama that the proper course at this time is a reduction in spending, and tax reform, not a crazed expansion of the State.

NAVAL AIR OPERATIONS IN AFGHANISTAN
I just wanted to let you know how things are going out here on the good ship USS Eisenhower . . . We began combat operations on March 21st and have been flying over the beach almost every day since then . . . Keep watching the news. If you hear about airstrikes in Southern Afghanistan there is a good chance it came from my Air Wing.

Probable repost: Overheard conversation on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz, while flying from Europe to Dubai.
The conversation went like this...
Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'
Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'
Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'
Air Defense Radar: ................................................................... 
This may be a repost and the assholes at snopes probably have something on it, but I like it and someone should send it to Imadinnerjacket.

Obama's "Health Care Reform" very simply = the Gov't (White House) will decide who lives and who dies.
The very real and realistic public 'concern' stems from the fact that no one with a functioning brain trusts the Government anymore.
How long can this colossal anal rape of America by Team Obama continue?
