News....
Out of order! Speaker faces confidence vote after finger-wagging tirade at MPs who criticised expenses fiasco. Hung drawn and quartered would be better.
A puce-cheeked, finger-wagging, 'don't you cross me, Jimmy' tantrum from Mr Speaker. The Ultimate Socialist Pig....
How's this for a belly laugh? The pregnant women who decorate their bumps with amazing artwork. WTF!!
I want more handouts, says 18-year-old mother-of-three who left her £1m home for a Big Issue seller. Pathetic little slag.
Bad luck bimbos: Intelligent women have better sex, study reveals. Something I have been saying for years.
US replaces Nato commander in Afghanistan war overhaul. Obama is getting the Napoleon complex early.
Al-Qaeda chief commits suicide in Libyan prison, report says. Odd headline of the day.
'Poison gas' puts 50 Afghan schoolgirls in hospital. The Taleban really don't like women.
Poll shows public revulsion at MPs' conduct over expenses. Methinks the Telegraph owners have an agenda.
Taleban using white phosphorus, some of it made in Britain. Time the Taleban were intoduced to the 'benefits' of nuclear fission.
Swine flu 'is on a par with 1957 pandemic that killed 2m'. I doubt it.
Thoughts for Today--
1.Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car.
2.When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
3.A penny saved is a government oversight.
4.The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
5.The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement ...
6.He who hesitates is probably right.
7.Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are ' XL..'
8.If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.
9..If you can smile when things go wrong , you have someone in mind to blame.
10.The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
11.There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt
12.Did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs.'
13.Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
14.The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for..
15.Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
16.When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra..
17.You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
18.Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
19.First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then, you forget to pull up your zipper. It's worse when you forget to pull it down.

Words for women to live by.....
1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.
2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every colour.
3. Take life with a pinch of salt… a wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.
4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!
5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I’m on it and so far I’ve lost 15 days).
6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.
8. I know I’m in my own little world, but it’s ok. They know me here.
9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
10. Don’t get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
11. When life gives you lemons - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.
12. Remember where ever there is a good looking; sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullshit.
13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.
14. If it has Tires or Testicles it’s gonna give you trouble.
15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she’s wrong.

Late News......by DML
Somali pirates guided by London intelligence team, report says. Wouldn't surprise me.
MPs' expenses: what they claimed. None of them should be re-elected.
A message from the little people to MPs: You disgust us. Pity much sums up the MPs standing right now.
Letter to the 'President'.......
Dear President Obama,
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America ‘ crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Now it's Tories on the rack over expenses: Cameron says sorry after HIS top team claim thousands in taxpayers' cash. Is there anyone in Parliament who isn't a crook?
MPs' EXPENSES: 'I didn't come into politics not to take what's owed to me' - What the Speaker allegedly told an MP. Throw him in the Thames and let's see if s**t floats.
Say goodbye to the sunny weather... rain and wind are set to batter Britain for most of the week. More of that global warming.
Hundreds of illegal immigrants armed with knives and crowbars swarm round Calais trucks heading for Britain. Time the bloody French did something about this.
General Petraeus lays groundwork for success in Afghanistan. It will become a side show if Pakistan goes tits up.
Father-of-four beaten to death after confronting teenagers outside home. Find them, hang them.
Military training exercises cut by half due to cost-cutting by MoD. Get rid of the MoD and save billions.
Man complains his pizza has no topping - until he realises it is upside down.
Pakistan army ready for house-house combat with Taliban. A bit bloody late.
US denies using white phosphorus in Afghan strikes. Use MOAB instead.
King Abdullah II of Jordan warns world faces war if Middle East peace talks break down. Until Syria and Iran have regime change the threat of war will always exist.
Labour plots to keep MPs’ allowances under wraps in the future. Expect a lot of independent candidates at the next election.
Spanish discontent as soup kitchens spring up. Spain is in real trouble.
A duck hunter was out enjoying a nice morning on the marsh when he decided to take a leak.
He walked over to a tree and propped up his gun.
Just then a gust of wind blew, the gun fell over, and discharged … shooting him in the genitals.
Several hours later, lying in a hospital bed, he was approached by his doctor.
‘Well sir, I have some good news and some bad news.. The good news is that you are going to be OK. The damage was local to your groin, there was very little internal damage and we were able to remove all of the buckshot.’
‘What’s the bad news?’ asked the hunter.
‘The bad news is that there was some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your penis. I’m going to have to refer you to my sister.’
‘Well I guess that isn’t too bad,’ the hunter replied. ‘Is your sister a plastic surgeon?’
‘Not exactly.’ answered the doctor. ‘She’s a flute player in the Chicago Symphony. She’s going to teach you where to put your fingers so you don’t piss in your eye.’

How to Drive in Los Angeles.......
1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is L A, with accent on the second syllable: (el AY)
2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon. The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm. EXCEPTION: Friday's rush hour starts late morning on Thursday.
3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85 mph. On the 105 or 110, match your speed to the highway number. Anything less is considered "wussy."
4. Forget traffic rules you learned elsewhere. LA has its own version. For example, at a four-way stop the car or truck with the loudest muffler goes first; those with the biggest tires go second. EXCEPTION: in Malibu, all SUV-driving, cell phone-talking moms ALWAYS have right-of-way.
5. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed out, and possibly shot.
6. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously. Or you'll be looking down the muzzle of someone's handy highway helper.
7. Road construction is permanent and continuous throughout LA and Orange counties. Detour barrels are moved around for your entertainment leisure during the middle of the night to make the next day's driving a bit more exciting.
8. Watch carefully for road hazards such as drunks, skunks, dogs, cats, barrels, cones, celebs, rubberneckers, shredded tires, cell phoners, deer and other road kill, and the coyotes feeding on any of these items.
9. MapQuest does not work here. None of the roads are where they say they are or go where they say they do, and all the freeway off- and on-ramps are relocated each night.
10. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave the m to the shoulder
immediately to let them know it has been "accidentally activated."
11. If you are in the left lane and only driving 70 in a 55-65 mph zone, you
are considered a road hazard and will be "flipped off" accordingly. If you return the flip, you'll be shot.
12. Do not try to estimate travel time. Just leave Monday afternoon for Tuesday appointments; by noon Thursday for Friday appointments; and right after church on Sunday for anything on Monday morning.

Wow: Flying under Stockholm
Don't show this to Predator pilots, they will get ideas.
The challange was to do the impossible, fly a huge aerobatic RC-plane under Stockholm through a 3.9km long tunnel called Södra länken.
The plane is 80" wide and weighs 13lb. The mighty electric motor provides 35lb of thrust and a topspeed closer to 120mph.
