Why is it when your wife becomes pregnant all her female friends rub her tummy and say congratulations. But none of them rub your dick and say well done.

Stimuless works, and STOP that now........from Rico
VP Joe Biden says:
"[the $787bn stimulus is] doing more, faster, more efficiently, and more effectively than most expected."
Now look at the chart Team Obama prepared to 'sell' the Porkulus Plan and connect the dots. The reality won't even buy cheap dollar store toys.
- Have I mentioned yet that Joe Biden is an idiot? No? Well you elected him, I didn't. He is.
And just STOP that now!
You should all STOP comparing Dear leader to Hitler now.
- At least Hitler got the Olympics to come to Berlin.

CAPTURED IDF SOLDIER SEEN IN RELEASED VIDEO
After over three years in which IDF Staff Sgt. Gilad Schalit has been held in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip, Israel breathed a sigh of relief on Friday afternoon after video footage of the captive soldier was released to the media and aired on Israeli television channels.
Gilad Schalit, you are not forgotten!

Lucy of 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' fame dies
Rock music critics thought the Beatles' classic song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was a veiled reference to LSD, but John Lennon always claimed the phrase came from his son, not from a desire to spell out the initials LSD in code.
Lucy Vodden, primary schoolmate of Julian Lennon, provided the inspiration. Lucy Vodden died after a long battle with lupus. She was 46.
Not military news, other than the fact that the Beatles assumed military regalia for their iconic album cover. Even though I tend more toward the blues I always liked that album, every song on it - I wore grooves in my original vinyl copy - and I honestly believe it changed the course of our collective culture.
Any chronic disease is a hard cut of the cards; Lucy's ordeal is over, now she really IS up there in the sky, with diamonds.

Cars, Americans, Voting..............from Rico
In a non-election year, voters are voting with their wallets...with what the Left has left them in their wallets anyway.
- Absent an opportunity to vote it's all we have available to us, save .30cal ammunition, these days.
Post cash-for-clunkers, the year-on-year sales for Detroit look like this:
- GM down 45%
- Chrysler down 42%
and
- Ford down 5.1%
Look at the percentage difference between "Government Motors" now owned and operated by Team Obama and the last free man standing, FORD.
Could this mean the people have turned-against 'the Won' on auto showroom floors across America?
- It sure seems like we the people have figured out that a partnership with Team Obama is about as wise a choice as Jimmy Hoffa's partnership with the Mafia.
