If you believe das Hopenchange, then you probably believe the teleprompter-reading talking heads in the political and financial media who are telling you Greece is a terrible problem for the Euro, but California is NOT a problem for the US Dollar.
If you do not have a severe case of cranial-rectal inversion, you know that:
- California has a GDP 400% greater than that of Greece.
- The USD has forty-more potential Greeces waiting to erupt.
- California has already failed, while Greece has not.
And, with the unemployment funds of 24 States in the red, and 9 more going broke within about six months, it is your patriotic duty to convert any and all savings you may have into "safe" assets like Federal-State-Municipal bonds!
- Besides, for his next magic act, The Won will "ban budget deficits" and issue coupons to taxpayers.

That Toddlin' Town
Desert silv'ry blue beneath the pale moonlight,
Coyotes yippin' lazy on the hill.
Sleepy winks of light along the far skyline,
Time for millin' cattle to be still...
Well, a bunch of the boys from the WR Bar outfit was settin' around the old virtual campfire the other night after a long day chasin' the boss's cows, and in amongst the usual pissin' and moanin' about saddle sores and tight boots the talk got around to firearms.
Everbody started to draggin' out his favorite shootin' irons, and I swan it weren't long before they was just a goin' on to where you'da thought somebody was gonna git up and start spoutin' Shakespeare about his pet hogleg. I just sorta lurked around at the edge of the firelight and laid low, on accounta I ain't armed. I been hangin' my sombrero in a bunkhouse where there's just ever kind of rule against keepin' Evil Machines in your footlocker, and if I was to keep my old 1911 around here I'd be breakin' all kinds of local ordinances. And I'd never do that, acourse.

CATHOLIC COFFEE
Four Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee.
The first Catholic man tells his friends, "My son is a priest . . . when he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."
The second Catholic man chirps, "My son is a Bishop . . . when he walks into a room people call him 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic gent says, "My son is a Cardinal . . . when he enters a room everyone says 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic man then says, "My son is the Pope . . . when he walks into a room people call him 'Your Holiness'."
Since the lone Catholic woman was sipping her coffee in silence, the four men give her a subtle, "Well . . . ?"
She proudly replied, "I have a daughter . . .
Slim . . .
. . . Tall . . .
. . . 38D breasts . . .
. . . 24" waist . . .
. . . and 36" hips.
When she walks into a room, people say, "OH . . . MY . . . GOD ! ! !"
Ahhhhh ~ Religion . . .

Growing Tomatoes...........from Rico
A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red. One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes. The woman asked the gentlemen, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?"
The gentlemen responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden naked in my trench coat and flash them. My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much." Well, the woman was so impressed; she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her
garden hoping for the best.
One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?" No", she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous.."
HE WAS COACHED . . .

Evil Schemers
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and Mao all campaigned for human rights. They promised social justice while hiding behind the "progressive" robes of goodness and mercy and when their promises fell short they imposed a social purity eliminating anyone who opposed them. Anyone who would admire these progressives would also want to emulate any them. The only thing standing in the way of the progressives' agenda is an armed nation.

The Vice Guide to Liberia Episode 4
Nearly 70 percent of Liberia’s female population has been raped, but that horrifying figure just begins to describe the depths of Liberia’s depravity. There’s also the not-minor issue of cannibalism—specifically, the devouring of one’s enemies. To learn more about these atrocities, we pick up General Rambo and take him to the compound where he once commanded his own rebel faction. Rambo convinces us that the Liberian rebels who lay in wait outside Monrovia could take over the city in two hours if the UN leaves the city. The UN is scheduled to begin pulling out next year.

CIA MEMORIAL WALL
A buddy of mine was killed serving with the CIA in Afghanistan in October, 2003.
His star is on the wall in Langley.
I knew this at the time, but I just now learned that the CIA decided their names could be released without compromising ongoing operations.
