Quote of the Night

From Palin Rips Obama. So many to choose from, but here’s my favorite:

“Since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves,” Palin said. “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a `community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.

Manning Brothers

I know I’ve been a pathetic bum of a blogger. What can I do? Well, if you love the Manning brothers as much as I do, I can post this adorable video. Enjoy :)

Sarah Palin for Vice President

Just so you know I’m still around. :) I am so happy with McCain’s VP choice that I will no longer be referring to him as McPain. :)

Mexico Condemns US Execution of Mexico

Good. Screw them.

Medellin was convicted of participating in the gang rape, beating and strangling of Elizabeth Pena, 16, and Jennifer Ertman, 14. Prosecutors said he and five fellow gang members attacked the girls as they were walking home on a June night, raped and tortured them for an hour, then kicked and stomped them before using a belt and shoelaces to strangle them.

And this little gem:

A large black bow and a banner that read “No to the death penalty … may God forgive you,” hung from an iron fence in the front of the house where Medellin lived before moving to the United States at the age of 3.

Yes, God needs to forgive Texas. Not for executing this animal but for taking 15 years to carry out the sentence. Better late than never though.

Good riddance to this filthy stinking scumbag.

Tyson Foods warms up to Islam

What is there to say? I’m going to stop purchasing Tyson Foods. There are plenty of other choices and this is just ridiculous.

From OneNewsNow:

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - Workers at the Tyson Foods poultry processing plant in Shelbyville will no longer have a paid day off on Labor Day but will instead be given the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr as a holiday.

According to a news release from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a new 5-year contract at the plant included the change to accommodate the hundreds of Somali Muslims who work at the plant .

Eid al-Fitr — which falls on Oct. 1 this year — marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.

Union leaders say implementing the holiday was important for the nearly 700 Muslims, many of them Somalis, who work at the plant that employs a total of 1,200 people.

The Shelbyville Times-Gazette newspaper quotes union spokesman Randy Hadley as saying the negotiating team felt this change was “extremely crucial, since this holiday is as important to Muslims as Christmas is to Christians.”

The newspaper also quotes the union as saying two prayer rooms have been created at the Shelbyville Tyson Foods’ plant ” to allow Muslim workers to pray twice a day and return to work without leaving the plant.”

So, what about the 500 other employees who aren’t Muslim? Do they no longer get Labor Day? Also, do the 2 prayers a day count as their breaks, or is this in addition to?

My friend Velvet has blogged on this too.

Where can I find me a job like this?

Does this lady look like someone who opposes the 2nd Amendment? Or, does she look like someone who takes the 2nd Amendment seriously, and wouldn’t hesitate to use deadly force to defend herself? Well, it’s probably the latter: (Click here for the full story)

The recent allegation that the NRA hired a spy to infiltrate several anti-gun advocacy groups in an effort to learn their secrets and strategies opens a rare window into clandestine efforts by corporations and other organizations to target the activists that oppose them.

For more than a decade, Mary McFate worked for gun-control groups, volunteering her time to organize protests, develop policy, lobby politicians and serve on their executive boards.

I think it’s brilliant. I’m also smart enough to know that it’s a two way street, with anti-gun people infiltrating gun clubs.

The groups she allegedly infiltrated were left reeling, wondering how they were duped for so long by someone with whom they closely worked.

“This reinforces what we have long known, that the gun lobby will go to any lengths, no matter how unethical, to protect the profits of the gun industry in this country, even at the expense of the over 30,000 Americans who lose their lives to gun violence each year,” said McQuilken, whose organization kicked “McFate” off their board soon after learning her true identity.”This person was a very good imposter. She knew all the right things to say,” he said.

Is it just me, or is anyone else wondering where that statistic comes from?

I guess this story infatuates me because I’ve tried to talk my husband into infiltrating secret organizations like the the Masons. He’ll have no part of it though. Oh well, it’s probably for the best. I’d hate to lose him to the dark side.  ;)

Bighorn Sheep in the Canyon

It took living here 4 years before we finally spotted bighorn sheep in our canyon, but one was out again tonight. Poor Tieki Rae, she has yet to see any, except the stuffed ones in the museums. So, I emailed some of these pictures to her tonight.  :)

Here is a funny shot of it right next to Tieki’s car (which we’re driving to save gas while she’s in DC for a few days. We also drove her car over the 4th of July while she was in Israel. At that time, something dented the trunk a smidge, we are assuming some sort of firework, nevertheless, we were hoping that silly sheep would behave and not ram her car. We knew we’d be in trouble if that happened!


Pretty cool, huh?

A Little Wyoming Fun

Tieki Rae and I will be heading down to Cheyenne this weekend to spend a couple days having fun. I have to admit, I haven’t been to a decent rodeo since leaving Dodge City, KS back in 1996. Being from KS makes me partial towards Dodge City Days, and honestly, that was one of the hardest things to leave behind. We had good friends that we only saw every year when the rodeo came to town, and we haven’t seen them since.

Anyway, it’s down to Frontier Days for us. We’ll be attending a couple rodeos, the Rascal Flatts concert, and one night of PBR.

Hope everyone reading this has a fantastic weekend. I’ll be back next Thursday. In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves and have fun.
