Bummer: Did the MSM Get Too High on Hopeium?
With any kind of luck, Obama will destroy many of the delusions we Yanks have lived with since 1972.

VBS TV: The Vice Guide to Liberia Episode 6
General Butt Naked, now Joshua Blahyi, takes us for a tour of the area he once controlled as a warlord. Now a converted Christian, Joshua recounts a day in the life of a cannibalistic general: eating the hearts of innocent children, training boys to kill, murdering enemies under the African sun. We learn of the secret powers of fighting completely naked and are taken to a spot where only a day earlier an assassination attempt was made on Joshua’s life. Today, Joshua preaches the gospel, helping to rehabilitate the former child soldiers who were most psychologically damaged by the horrific violence of their youth.

8 reasons you wouldn’t really want to date a porn star
Definitely the Quote of the Week
"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."

Movie Review: 'Frost Nixon'
Short Review: Do we really need a movie to tell us journalists are out to destroy conservatives and that Nixon was a dink?
Full Review Here
P.O.N.Z.I.................from Rico
I understand that most folks "think" The Federal Reserve (FED), the Central Bank of the US, is a governmental entity.
- Why Congress is even debating the reappointment of Ben Bernanke to another term as FED Head, right?
WRONG.
While cleverly named, the FED is a private bank owned by private individuals and is just as "Federal" as Federal Express or my box of Federal shotgun shells....in a word, it's NOT.
- Those pretty green slips of paper in your wallet commonly known as US Dollars are Federal Reserve Notes. Bank scrip. The FED can print as much of it as it wants or needs to.
With this in mind, consider that fully eighty percent (80%) of US Treasuries [read: US government debt] sold in 2009 were bought by the FED because there were no other willing buyers.
- So, printing money to finance unsellable governmental debt is just like using a credit card to pay off a credit card. It is a scam, a PONZI scheme. Like all such schemes it cannot go on indefinitely, but has to end. This will end badly.
And Congress has just raised their 'credit line' to about 14 trillion dollars...
- They borrow & spend it, and you pay it back with interest. Nice gig, just not for the likes of us kulaks.

STORMBRINGER
The Confessional
An Irishman goes into the confessional box after years of being away from the Church. There's a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.
Then the priest comes in. "Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be."
The priest replies: "Get out. You're on my side."

VBS TV: The Vice Guide to Liberia Episode 5
Back in West Point, we take our cameras to a busy brothel that reminds us of a biblical-era rendition of hell. The walls appear spattered and stained by some vicious cocktail of human fluid. A fetid air wafts throughout. Bloody rags and condoms lay strewn across the floor. The half-dozen girls on call accuse some UN members of flagrant sexual misconduct. When chaos breaks out in the whorehouse, we hit the road. In the car, General Rambo sends us a text telling us to hurry back to our hotel where General Butt Naked awaits.

IF you BELIEVE...........from Rico
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.
"Gotta run right now, time to pay off my credit card with another credit card!"

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.
