I Am America ~ by Krista Branch



I first saw this at Teresamerica, and she got it from,
and they got it from, and he got it from .....
It made it to Glen Beck and now here because I
can't stop listening to it. It's on YouTube and iTunes
for sale. I feel it needs to be bought, embedded, and
PLAYED!

Idea stolen from just a conservative girl (hat Tip)

GARLIC WARNING!!

For years Doctors and scientists have told us
that some food's are good for us only to be told
later that they bad for us, and again they tell us
that some food's are bad for us, and all the time
they've been good for us and their doesn't seem
to be much proof either way to suggest what is
good or bad until now that is.
Garlic is definitely BAD for us
"You Are, What You Eat"
YUM YUM YUM !

HOW TO SELL ... TOOTHBRUSHES


The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. 
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on 
productive salesmanship.
 
Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
 
"Very good," said the teacher.
 
Little Jenny was next:
 
"I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."
 
"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..
 
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.
 
The teacher held her breath ...
 
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said.
 

                                      "$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world
                               were you selling"                     
         
                                "Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

                                "Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher,

                                "How could you possibly sell enough tooth
                                brushes to make that much money?"

                                "I found the busiest corner in town,"
                                said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip &
                                Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked
                                by a free sample."

                                They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes
                                like dog shit!"

                                Then I would say,"It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

                                "I used the governmental approach
                                of giving you something shitty that they say is good,
                                and then making you pay to get the shitty taste out
                                of your mouth."
  The teacher was speechless. . . . . . . 

Thanks Dan

USS North Carolina (BB-55) Oil Painting by S. Phillips



First I'd like apologize to Sonia for stealing this image
of her work without her permission. I've been so impressed
by it since the first time I saw it yesterday, I had to share it
here. I, being in the art field, know it's great when many
can view the art you've worked so hard to create. 

To tie this all together ... Happy Birthday Dad. My father,
who would have been 102 today, has a tie to this Battle Ship.
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) shelled Iwo Jima during 
the invasion in World War II. My father landed on the island
around the second day. To this day we never knew why so
early, as he wasn't part of the invasion. He, once the runway
end of the island was secured, started getting the radar ready
to help the B-29s land in the future. He was the one in charge
of the radar that guided the limping B-29s in after they visited
Japan. He also was the one that discovered how weather could
be observed with radar. Some of you might remember the old 
"Victory at Sea" of Iwo Jima and a sign that read "Los Angeles
City Limits". That was his sign he made around the third day
of the invasion.


Happy Birthday Dad ... I miss you.

THE BUS AND THE ZIPPER ....

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a woman who was
waiting for a bus was wearing a tight leather skirt. As the bus
stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that
her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height 
of the first step of the bus.

Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver,
she reached behind her to unzip her skirt a little, thinking that
this would give her enough slack to raise her leg.

 


Again, she tried to make the step only to discover she still couldn't.
So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind
her to unzip her skirt a little more, and for the second time
attempted the step, and, once again, much to her chagrin, she
could not raise her leg. With little smile to the driver, she
again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to make the step. About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her picked her up easily by the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus. She went ballistic and turned to the would-be Samaritan and screeched, 'How dare you touch my body! I don't even know who you are!' 
 


The Texan smiled and drawled, 'Well, ma'am, normally I would
agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured we were friends.'

The Queen's Riddle

Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.

He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an

efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"

"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to

surround yourself with intelligent people."

Obama frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the

people around me are really intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"

Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, my Queen?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please, Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered,

"That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.

Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential choice the same question. "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child.  It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one.."

He went to his advisers and asked every one, but none could give him an answer. Finally, he ended up in the men's room and recognized Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.

Biden asked Powell, "Colin, can you answer this for me?  Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Colin Powell yelled back, "That's easy, it's me!"

Biden smiled, and said, "Thanks!"  Then, he went back

to speak with Obama.  "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle.  It's Colin Powell!"

Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled

into his face, "No! you idiot!  It's Tony Blair!"

AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRECISELY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON D.C.
