And I thought we had it difficult building what with wetlands and Snail Darters and spotted owls and such…

Seems that in Iceland, there are issues with elf habitat.

In a conversation I overheard:

#1 “I am really getting tired of Obama”

#2 “yeah, I know what you mean”

#1 “We should invite him to visit Dallas”

I passed an entire drink through my nose

I learned that my real middle name wasn’t “GODAMMIT!”.

It was said today at lunch that the militant homosexuals have the same playbook as the militant Islamics:

     Fight any slander or possible percieved slander by attacking anyone who disagrees with you.

     Then attack the people who associate with them.

     Scream loudly about persecution and being damaged by words and cultures which disagree with  
     your viewpoint.

     Complain about a lack of willingness to understand and intolerance, while displaying same to all
     the world to see.

     Get a lot of time on the media because you are screaming louder than anyone else.

So far, it seems to work for both the gays and the Islamics.

Of course, the media helps ’em both by giving them a platform.

If you want to protest the whole A&E kefluffle about Robertson’s comments by buying some of his families products, be aware:

“Duck Dynasty” is a brand owned by A&E, and all profits from the sale of “Duck Dynasty” merchandise goes to A&E, not the Robersons.

“Duck Commander”, on other hand, is a brand owned by the Robertson family, and A&E sees nothing from sales of “Dcuck Commander” brand items.

It’s a free country, and you can buy whatever you wish, but protesting by buying Duck Dynasty items is an exercise in failure.

You can find it here. This is true of over 90% of the drivers in the US.

Why is it that less than 2% of our population gets so much attention from the media when they raise their voices in disapproval?

And why is it that they expect everyone to accept their views, but fail to accept any one else’s when there is disagreement with their views??

If people who disagreed with the homosexual lifestyle were half as vocal and vehement in their objections as the gay folks then they (the gays) would be in hiding again.

I actually don’t care one way or another, except for the inconsistency

nothing like Badasses trying to one up each other.

Take that Van Damme!

‘Cause this keeps happening. 

As far as I can tell, the feds are either hiring totally incompetent people to run these checkpoints or they are testing to see how many people can be herded sheeplike into giving DNA sample and even blood samples because the “checkpoint” is manned by people dressed like and acting like policement, and because “real” police are directing traffic.

Yes, I am sure that they told each and every person diverted into the checkpoint that the stop and subsequent sampling was “voluntary”. I bet that there were signs and such making sure that everyone knew that there was no issue of you refused….

Is it? Are most people going to think it is voluntary when a person wearing a uniform asks you in an intimidating manner to open your mouth and takes a cheek swab? Or in a stern manner tells you that they are going to take a blood sample?

Yeah, you and I might not be willing to give up such samples, but Joe the “low informatin voter” might not be sure that he CAN refuse without being arrested…and Suzy Homemaker will likely be too afraid to resist, even if she is aware that there is no legal reason for the search.

Two things if this happens to you:

“warrant”

“am I free to go now?” 

followed by:

“Lawyer”.
