New Golf Lingo.....
Some new lingo to use when you're out on the course...
A 'Rock Hudson' - a putt that looked straight, but wasn't
A 'Saddam Hussein' - from one bunker into another
A 'Yasser Arafat' - butt ugly and in the sand
A 'John Kennedy Jr.' - didn't quite make it over the water
A 'Rodney King' - over-clubbed
An 'OJ.'- got away with one
A 'Princess Grace' - should have used a driver
A 'Princess Di' - shouldn't have used the driver
A 'Condom' - safe, but didn't feel very good
A 'Brazilian' - shaved the hole
A 'Rush Limbaugh' - a little to the right
A 'Nancy Pelosi' - Way to the left and out of bounds
A 'James Joyce' - a putt that's impossible to read
A 'Ted Kennedy' - goes in the water and jumps out
A 'Pee Wee Herman' - too much wrist
A 'Sonny Bono' - straight into the trees
A 'Mickey Mantle' - a dead yank
A 'Paris Hilton' - a very expensive hole

Tax Freedom Day 4-13-2009.......from Rico
On average, by today 'most' Americans will have worked every minute of the year to date to have 'paid' their tax burden [federal-state-local]. Of course, Obama's political appointees and friends, and members of that exclusive millionaire's club (Congress), and the unproductive parasites (forgive the redundancy here) don't really have to worry very much about paying taxes.
This includes "Turbo Tax Timmy" who as Sec of the Treasury is also the boss of the largest racketeering enterprise on the planet, the IRS (Internal Revenue Service...Inland Revenue to some of you...extortionist gangsters to me).
Sadly, we are NOT quite completely free of the "wealth-redistribution Tax-nazis." Obama, having racked-up a greater debt in his first short months of office than ALL the Presidents from Washington-to-Bush combined, has assured that TAXES WILL HAVE TO INCREASE.
Doubt me? Believe all the MSM propaganda about "taxing the rich" but not YOU?
- It's a LIE. Our politicians [read: tax-spenders] KNOW it is a LIE, but since mendacity is their greatest skill (not economics) and they are counting on you to be too stoopid to understand just how screwed you really are, they expect to get away with the lie as usual.
- There are simply NOT enough "rich" people, and they do NOT have enough money, to carry the coming tax burden...take 100% of what they have and it will not be enough!
- WHERE oh WHERE will the tax revenue really come from? From YOU. From ME. If you are middle-class, have a job, have anything at all...that is exactly where it will come from. From US! OBAMA-REID-PELOSI-FWANK & Co. know the vast majority of this nation's "as yet unconfiscated wealth" is actually in the hands of the middle class, the ones who created and earned it...yeah, the very folks they've been "assuring" and "calming" that "everything will be O.K. and not to worry......hey, look it's a grouse!" Baloney.
Willy Sutton, the bank robber was once asked "WHY he robbed banks?" Willy's reply was "because that is where the money is."
WHY are our greedy and corrupt tax-spenders going to raise OUR taxes? Same reason. Because that's where the money is. Small wonder that the TEA (taxed enough already) party notion is catching on like wildfire. Americans have to stop being "shaken down" by these thieving corrupticrat tax-spenders....PARTY LIKE IT'S BOSTON HARBOR 1775!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote Of The day
Heard at a certain football match in S.E. England this Bank Holiday Monday afternoon. Directed at a player who appeared to have a bit of a tan, a spectator shouted:
"Go and have another sunbed"
What is the oldest profession?
A physician, an engineer, and an attorney were discussing who among them belonged to the oldest of the three professions represented.
The physician said, “Remember, on the sixth day God took a rib from Adam and fashioned Eve, making him the first surgeon. Therefore, medicine is the oldest profession.”
The engineer replied, “But, before that, God created the heavens and earth from chaos and confusion, and thus he was the first engineer. Therefore, engineering is an older profession than medicine.”
Then, the lawyer spoke up. “Yes,” he said, “But who do you think created all of the chaos and confusion?”

That CHANGE thing..........by Rico
CUBA got CHANGE in 1959.
Looks like a critical mass of suckers has ensured that we're getting our CHANGE right now.
When you look closely at the "Obama Doctrine" [read: ignore, deny, appease, cut-and-run, read from the teleprompter some more] you can clearly 'see' what the end result of this is going to be for the US, if not many additional places.
Lincoln vs. Obama.....by Rico
Old "Honest Abe" Lincoln is reported to have once quipped at his own expense "If I had two faces, would I be wearing THIS one?"
The "Chicago Corrupticrat-in-Chief" Obama actually HAS two faces. This will prove to be exclusively at OUR expense.
- Both faces are malignant narcissistic metrosexual sissy-boys and Communists, but only one of them is apparently allowed to use the teleprompter...the other one hangs out with his Marxist-terrorist-criminal friends and raises money by being one of the "Hate-America-First-Last-Always" crowd.

Meet The Corrigan Brothers.....
Just over a year ago a little Irish band called Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys sent me this video and asked if would help promote them.....
I being a nice guy and seeing the potential of the song (in my defence I didn't think the commie asshole would get to the White House). So I spent 8 months persuading them to do a decent version of the song and eventually they did and this is what they came up with....they also changed their name to The Corrigan Brothers which is a big improvement...
I sent this over to Wogan and all hell broke loose.....now they are all over Radio 2. Since then they have gone from strength to strength and now have a whole catalogue of brilliant songs including 'An Irishman Invented Rock and Roll'
and 'Credit Crunch'
'Jesus Freak'..
'American Dream'...
and finally a remix of 'Lord of the Dance'
Right now they are probably the best Irish band out there and I would appreciate it if you would take the time to listen to their songs because they are bloody good.
More from the Tea Party lines...
Marketing guru doesn't like the tea party thing...hrm maybe because its grass-roots and people like him aren't making any money? Its been a while since I have read anything so patronizing.
The left tried their own Tea Party type event. As you can see from the report it was not that successful.
My fellow Nugent conservative , Ted Nugent, fully supports the Tea Parties and is speaking at the one in San Antonio.
And finally my buddy over at PJM hosts a show debating the pros & cons of the movement.
Update: Riehl conjectures on why the lefties are so upset by the Tea Parties.
Update II : GayPatriot looks into some of the often funny Tea Party criticism.
Update III: Check how popular Tax Day Tea Party is much to the chagrin of Tea Party opponents.
Update IV: More on the pathetic and hypocritical opposition to these events. More silly opposition detailed over on Fox's site.
The Wisdom of Larry the cable guy......
1. A day without sunshine is like night.
2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
13. OK, so what's the speed of dark?
14. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
15. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
16. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
17. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
20. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?
21 Why do psychics have to ask you your name?
22. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering 'What the heck happened?'
23. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
24. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
25. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.
