I am a big fan of Bulldogs, so this one slays me. The look at the end of the video is priceless...

Pres. Obama - We are heading in the right direction.

Hey look! It's the Obama's, on another vacation!! And what do you know, the liberal MSM is covering for them, calling this vacation "showing the Gulf as a vacation spot".
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - Catching a glimpse of porpoises, President Barack Obama and his family went boating Sunday as part of a weekend trip to the Gulf of Mexico that was designed to showcase the region's attractions as well as the president's concern for those affected by the BP oil spill.
Nope, nothing to see here, please move along. How fucking pathetic. I hope you liked the porpoises, Mr. President. You got to see them thanks to my taxes.

A truly amazing video. If you don't shed a tear, there really is something the matter with you.

I posted a note 3 weeks ago about Deputy Dewey. It was just reported that Deputy Chris Dewey has passed away. He fought hard, thanks in large part to the love of his wife and family.
Please keep Chris, his wife Emily, and the entire family in your thoughts during this tough time. You can leave your thoughts on the Caringbridge page if you like.
There aren't enough words to thank Deputy Dewey for his bravery and sacrifice.

Target Corp. is apologizing for a political donation to a conservative group that angered some employees and sparked talk of a customer boycott.
How dare they? Donate to a conservative group? Balance out their donations, since they have donated plenty to liberal groups. But hey, talk about a boycott and it's time to apologize. Screw that. Why the hell would you apologize for this?
Newsflash - If your employees were mad about this, chances are they are mad about other shit too. You plan on apologizing to them for the other things you do that upsets them? Can of worms is now opened...
Say it with me - YOU CAN'T PLEASE ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME. So why bother trying?

1. Woke up this AM far too early again to go to the gym. As we left the driveway, we noticed the trunk and car doors on our neighbor's vehicle were wide open. Someone broke in overnight and rifled through the vehicle; luckily, nothing of value was taken. Really nice, considering this neighbor (a retired 20 year Navy Seabee) recently returned from an 18 month National Guard deployment in Iraq. Nice, serve your country, and come home and have some little asshole(s) break into your car. I SO wish he would have caught them in the act...he's got a .45 for just the occasion, and my would it have been sweet to see their faces when that popped out of the back door.
2. I am not particularly fond of the term "innards".
3. A Happy Belated Birthday to our President. Way to be born 49 years and one day ago, Mr. President.

It's getting to be that time again... The kids will be starting their Junior year in just a few weeks, so it's also that time to make sure they are ready, at least from a registration standpoint. So, as I reviewed the high school website today, I stumbled upon the registration information and found a neat little gem tucked conveniently between the "class fee form" (it costs $7.00 to be a Junior this year) and the "health" and "Locker" forms.
Ethnicity Verification form
Every school district is now required to report to the department of education each year all student data by race and ethnicity categories that are set by the federal government. While the DoE does not report individual student data to the fed, they do report the total number of students in various categories in each school...apparently these are meant to help track changes in student enrollements, but also to ensure the students receive the education programs and services to which they are entitled.
The reporting categories have recently changed, hence the new forms. There are two questions on each form.

Another week, another headache for the presumptive midterm winners.
WASHINGTON -- A House investigative panel has charged California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters with violating ethics rules.
Waters, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, would face a trial in the fall unless she negotiates a settlement.

If you could go back in time anywhere in history, where would you go and why? Would it be to observe, or to change an event, or maybe to take part? Give me your top 5.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/07/29/arizona-appeals-ruling-immigration-law/
PHOENIX -- Arizona asked an appeals court Thursday to lift a judge's order blocking most of the state's immigration law as the city of Phoenix filled with protesters, including about 50 who were arrested for confronting officers in riot gear....
...Outside the state Capitol, hundreds of protesters began marching at dawn, gathering in front of the federal courthouse where Bolton issued her ruling on Wednesday. They marched on to the office of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has made a crackdown on illegal immigration one of his signature issues....
...Marchers chanted "Sheriff Joe, we are here, we will not live in fear," and in the crowd was a drummer wearing a papier-mache Sheriff Joe head and dressed in prison garb.
It's amazing to me just how batshit crazy insane this is making some folks.
Arpaio vowed to go ahead with a crime sweep targeting illegal immigrants. Phoenix police made most the early arrests, before protesters moved to the jail.
"My deputies will arrest them and put them in pink underwear," Arpaio said, referring to one of his odd methods of punishment for prisoners. "Count on it."

The most transparent administration evah continues to be, well, as clear as mud.
Rep. Charles Rangel reportedly has struck a deal with the congressional panel investigating alleged ethics violations.
A deal. What kind of a deal we don't know, but this begs the question - WHY? The man that sat as Chairman of the Ways and Means committee is up on tax violation and ethics charges. That committee deals with, um, TAXES, among other things. And he's getting a deal?? Didn't San Fran Nan suggest that she was prepared to "drain the swamp" recently?

Apparently that's what I'm doing. Yep, I say such inflammatory things as "a man is equal to any other man regardless of skin color" or because I didn't own slaves nor did anyone in my family, I "don't have an ounce of guilt in my body". For that, I'm fueling a race war. If it were only that simple.

16 years ago today, the little W's joined the world. Today's edition of the random musings will be dedicated entirely to them...
1. One of the best days of my life was July 23rd, 1994. It was the day that changed my life forever. It was when my baby girls came into the world.
2. One of the worst days of my life was July 23rd, 1994. We nearly lost little JW on her way out of the womb. Thankfully, she toughed it out and made it. Much like right now, she had to do things her own way (the hard way)...she decided coming out feet first with the cord wrapped around her neck was the right way to do it. That day was such an emotional rollercoaster. And it was then that my first grey hair appeared...

You might remember this name - this is the deputy shot in the head by a suspect back in 2009. He has endured an 18 month battle since his February 18, 2009 shooting and is now near death. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. http://www.startribune.com/local/98595564.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUsX
Thank you for your service, Deputy Dewey. And to his family, especially his lovely wife Emily (who is one of the strongest people I have ever seen), we keep you all in our thoughts.

This morning on Good Morning America, the resident weather douche (Sam "drama queen" Champion) was standing amid fans awaiting the outdoor concert series and covering the weather. The screen then flashed to a map showing the mid-central states and upper eastern seaboard, where there is going to be some hot weather today. He actually said the following:

My initial reaction to seeing the news this AM was irritation over the smug little puke Robert Erickson dumping pennies on the table and disrupting the meeting at Ol' Mexico yesterday. And then the subsequent "interview" afterwards, where this smug little puke got air time to "threaten" he'd be around in the future, all because Mr. Emmer dares to agree with the Arizona laws concerning illegal aliens. But contained within the video was something that pushed me to an entirely new level of irritation...
I know someone in the video.
