Political Party Guessing Game Spoilers

Reuters that is. Doh! Do they have to give it away in the first word of the first sentence?! Only when it’s a Republican:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Rep. Richard Renzi of Arizona, a state co-chair for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign, was indicted on corruption charges stemming from land deals in his state, Justice Department officials said on Friday.

What party poopers. Oh well, at least we can still be challenged by some stories.

Guess that politician’s party

partygame.jpgIt’s been awhile since we’ve played the fun game of guessing which political party a convicted criminal belongs to. I felt obliged to post on it after spending 2 minutes of my life reading about this:

A businessman was convicted Wednesday of faking his disappearance after a car crash two years ago to draw attention to his long-shot congressional campaign.

Does it surprise anyone that I had to read the entire article before finding out which party this guy was campaigning for? Seriously, the last sentence? This is just too much fun.

Don’t cheat, try and guess before you get to the end.

$845 Billion Dollar Obama Bill

From OneNewsNow:

Cliff Kincaid, president of America’s Survival, states he is very concerned about Obama’s legislation, which has already been approved by a voice vote in the Senate Armed Services Committee and is similar to a bill passed by the House last year (H.R. 1302). Kincaid says the Senate bill would commit the United States to $845 billion in foreign aid over a 13-year period.

“This bill subordinates U.S. foreign policy to the U.N. and commits us to fulfill what are called the U.N. Millennium goals — that is, 0.7 percent of GNP to foreign aid. And that means we’ve got to come up $845 billion,” he laments.

Global taxes anyone? Is this one of the changes he’s always shooting his pie hole off about? Is this what they refer to as progressive?

It has a stench of global communism to my nostrils.

A Cowboy Funny

I received this via email and it made me chuckle:ranching-image1.jpg

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture
in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud
towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses
and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, “If I tell you
exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a
calf?”

Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully
grazing herd and calmly answers; “Sure, Why not?”

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects
it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the
Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his
location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area
in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports
it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany

Within mere seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image
has been processed and the data is stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL
database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his
Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his
hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy
and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”

“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as
the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the Bud says to the young m an, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what
your business is, will you give me back my calf?”

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”

“You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government”, says Bud.

“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”

“No guessing required.”, answered the cowboy. “You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I
already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much
smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows…this is a
herd of sheep. . . .Now give me back my dog.

Lol! Do you think it was Obama?

Still Think We’re Exaggerating?

obama-che.jpg

Wow! Not sure why I’d be surprised, but I am a little. Hat Tip to Allah at HotAir. I guess we all know that if we vote DemonRat, we’re voting for the communist party. This just proves it.

So, click the HotAir link and go from there. Dang! I really hate commies.

UPDATE: Jeffrey over at Scoffery.com asks some very relevant questions regarding this.

Christian Photographer Hauled Before Commission For Refusing Same-Sex Job

I’ve been extremely busy, but I know I need to post. So, I’m going to hat tip the lovely VelvetHammer and copy her post. Many of you may have already seen this at Velvet’s place, but for those of you who haven’t — is this an outrage or what?

By John Jalsevac

New Mexico, January 30, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The case of a Christian photographer who refused to photograph a same-sex “commitment ceremony”, was heard before the New Mexico Human Rights Division on Monday.

A same-sex couple asked Elaine Huguenin, co-owner with her husband of Elane Photography, to photograph a “commitment ceremony” that the two women wanted to hold. Huguenin declined because her Christian beliefs are in conflict with the message communicated by the ceremony.

The same-sex couple filed a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Division, which is now trying Elane Photography under state antidiscrimination laws for sexual orientation discrimination.

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a legal alliance that is dedicated to defending and protecting religious freedom, sanctity of life, marriage, and family, is currently defending Elane Photography. Continue Reading …

It makes me proud that Tieki Rae desires to work for an organization such as the Alliance Defense fund when she finishes school. I believe she’ll give ‘em heck. :)

Once again, thank you Velvet for these outrageous finds you dig up.

Some Weekend Fun!!!

I know it’s an election year, but a person’s got to have some fun, right? We shot the following two short videos after Tieki Rae had checked in for her flight back to school last month. We had over an hour to kill before security would be ready to harass the passengers. Oh, the rubber glove …. stolen from the doctor’s office the previous week.

I hope you’ll still respect us after watching these. :)

Part II is the best:
