This is for all you sots out there who will be needing to be blessed!

May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you, and all your heart might desire.

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

May you have love that never ends, lots of money, and lots of friends.

Health be yours, whatever you do, and may God send many blessings to you!

May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong.

May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true!

May your feet never sweat, your neighbor give you ne’re a treat.

When flowers bloom, I hope you’ll not sneeze, and may you always have someone to squeeze!

I didn’t know that eggs were not environmentally friendly but apparently real eggs aren’t the answer.

Here’s the new Obama White House Logo:

I’m kind of surprised there isn’t picture of Mao or Chavez in the logo.

White House Easter Egg Roll to Be Environmentally Friendly

A White House announcement Monday said the eggs at this year’s April 5 roll will be made from paperboard that contains no wood fibers from endangered forests, is recyclable and features vegetable-oil based inks and a water-based coating.

What’s more, they’ll come in purple, pink, green and yellow and feature the stamped signatures of both President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

I heard this last night on the You Served radio program. Please pass it on, this will truly touch your heart.

From James Hooker’s blog:

It´s the words withdraw,allegiance and renounce, banish and exile that bother me. I still have my country and my flag and I still have good men like CJ and good women too, putting all their asses on the line.

I´ve heard there are no republicans or democrats in a fire-fight. The only left or right that matters is your brother or sister beside you. CJ, this is for you and Troy and Marcus and quite a few millions of men and women over the past couple hundred years or so who hang it out there.

Thank you.

Most of the turkeys had disappeared from Brookline, MA so of course the do gooders (Audubon Society) had to get involved. The revitalization of the turkey population has been such a success that the turkeys have come to enjoy suburban living.

BROOKLINE – On a recent afternoon, Kettly Jean-Felix parked her car on Beacon Street in Brookline, fed the parking meter, wheeled around to go to the optician and came face to face with a wild turkey.

The turkey eyed Jean-Felix. Jean-Felix eyed the turkey. It gobbled. She gasped. Then the turkey proceeded to follow the Dorchester woman over the Green Line train tracks, across the street, through traffic, and all the way down the block, pecking at her backside as she went.

“This is so scary,” Jean-Felix said, finally taking refuge inside Cambridge Eye Doctors in Brookline’s bustling Washington Square. “I cannot explain it.”

Notify the neighbors: The turkeys are spreading through suburbia. Wild turkeys, once eliminated in Massachusetts, are flourishing from Plymouth to Concord and – to the surprise of some wildlife officials – making forays into densely populated suburban and urban areas, including parts of Boston, Cambridge and, most recently, Brookline.

snip….Efforts to revitalize the state’s turkey population between 1911 and 1967 failed. Then, in 1972 and 1973, the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife released 37 turkeys in the Berkshires. These turkeys survived and bred. And between 1979 and 1996, wildlife officials trapped more than 500 turkeys in the Berkshires and released them elsewhere in the state.

Biologists were pleased; today’s turkey population in Massachusetts lingers around 20,000. But Marion Larson, an information and education biologist at MassWildlife, said officials had not counted on the turkey’s appetite for suburban – and even urban – living.

snip….The problem, according to some Brookline residents, is that the turkeys can be aggressive at times. Dr. Ruth Smith, an internist from New York City, was staying with a cousin in Brookline a couple of weeks ago when she was stalked by what she describes as a 3-foot-tall turkey.

“He came at me and, at first, I tried to shoo him away,” Smith recalled. “I figured I’d just go ‘Shoo!’ and he’d go. But he was very aggressive.”

If you didn’t know this turkeys aren’t exactly bright bulbs. Depending on the time of year, there are flocks of turkeys grazing along the roadside of my country road. More often than not when I’m driving along and encounter turkeys crossing the road the stupid birds stop crossing and run down the road in front of the vehicle. After a few honks of the horn they will finally drift off to the side of the road. Probably the left side of the road, you know cause they’re alot like Dhimmicrats. They strut along aimlessly displaying their plumage.

Hang him from your ‘Holiday’ tree that is. The Obama’s put out the request for tree ornaments to not include or reference that dreaded and banned word – CHRISTMAS. I do think that request was rescinded, it doesn’t matter. The original request shows where their beliefs and heads are and it’s not with Christianity.

I’m not exactly surprised by the US Navy putting Obama on their ‘Holiday’ ornament. If it had been the Marines or Army, then I would have been surprised. The Navy and Air Force have always been the more liberal of the Armed Forces.

Obama Christmas Ornaments From the Navy?

The Navy Secretariat Staff Officers Recreation Association, a service group run by Navy personnel and civilians at the Pentagon, has produced Obama Christmas ornaments for $15 a pop, limited to two per person. The normal Navy image has been replaced for the first time with that of the president.

Apparently there were more than a few people not too pleased. The Pentagon gift shop has put a stop on sales.

“Wreaths Across America is about the spirit of Appreciation for what we have, and a determination to give something back.”

The Wreaths Across America story began 15 yrs ago when Worcester Wreath Company began a tradition of placing wreaths on the headstones of our Nations fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery during the holidays.
In 2006 this ceremony of wreath laying was expanded to Veteran Cemeteries across the country to run concurrently with Arlington Cemetery at 12 noon EST. The ceremony runs around 30 minutes, we will be in the enclosed gazebo on the hill with the large windows to view the cemetery, seating is also provided. After the ceremony we will be laying the wreaths at the graves, you are welcome to join us.

This is scary for Halloween. Giving out an Obama brochure on healthcare reform for a Halloween treat? Are these idiots begging to get their homes egged?

As Alaskans know too well, when Halloween comes around, it usually means we’ve entered into winter – with nights that are cold, streets that are slippery, and snow that is piling up.

That is why this Halloween, Organizing for America is asking every Alaskan who supports President Obama’s Health Reform Plan – whether you live in Sitka, Wasilla, North Pole, or Barrow – to join with other Alaskans in a Healthy Halloween Reverse Canvass!

Instead of going door-to-door, simply let the people come to you!

* Give trick-or-treaters a flier about President Obama’s Health Reform Plan and a “Health Reform NOW” sticker.

* Give them a healthy snack too as a way to remind them about how important health reform is!

Let’s make sure that this Halloween the only scary things Alaskans encounter are witches, ghosts, and goblins…and not big insurance companies who promise treats and only give you tricks.

How about you Obamabots let us know how that works out!

Obama, Healthcare, Halloween Treats

How did the attack on September 11th change you? Have you already forgotten that fateful day and it’s importance with all the sacrifices made by every day heroes? Have you forgotten the real threat of Islamic terrorists who hate your very existence?

Remember the life of Brian D. Sweeney

A resident of Barnstable, Massachusetts, Brian was a lieutenant in the Navy and a Desert Storm veteran, protecting the no-fly zones. He was a radar intercepting officer aboard F-14 Tomcat fighter planes in the VF-211 “Bounty Hunters” squadron, serving on the USS Nimitz and USS Ranger aircraft carriers. Brian graduated at the head of his class at the Naval Officers Training School in Pensacola, Fla.

He was a staff instructor at the Navy’s prestigious Fighter Weapons School in Miramar, Calif., from 1995 to 1996, and a staff member for the Tomcat Strike Fighter Weapons School in 1993. He was also squadron avionics/weapons division officer from 1991 to 1993 and squadron weapons training/tactics development officer from 1993 to 1995.

Brian worked for a variety of private-sector aeronautical companies, including Lockheed Martin Corp., Spectratek Corp. and Horizons Technology. From March 2006, he was a systems consultant for the Department of Defense and aeronautics industry at Brandes Associates in Los Angeles.

Described as “side-splittingly hilarious, athletic, stylish and intelligent”, Brian believed most in dedicating time to family and friends. (Cape Cod Online)
