Got a call today from a nice lady about a poll from these guys : – on my cell phone. Maybe Verizon sold my number? Anyway - Mostly questions about the Presidential Candidates. Learned more about McCain in the process. He’s pro-Life?? Really? Never would have guessed it. Favorite questions: Is McCain too old? He’s 71. Reagan was 70. Will you consider race when you vote? Not at all. Do you think Blacks and Whites should be allowed to live together? YES! They already do. Duh! If you could vote AGAINST a candidate, would you? In other words, I could check “NO” for both! Many Americans believe it is time for a Three-Party system of government. Do you agree? Well this is silly. There are as many parties as anyone could come up with. They just aren’t as popular. I’d form the AMERICAN BEER DRINKER’S PARTY , but that one’s taken. Whoa! Seems that The Whig Party is still in operation! Against tax, pro-Tariff. Want to base the value of the American d...

Viva, Selena!

But I know an entertainer when I see one. Selena at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. 1995

Avoid Montgomery!

In the year 2008, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States , and said, 'Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save of every living thing along with a few good humans' He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, 'You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.' Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark. 'Noah!' He roared, 'I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark ?' 'Forgive me, Lord,' begged Noah, 'but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then the Depa...

SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D- ILL) My fellow Identity-Americans: As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their ... support. Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change. I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing. I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamor behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee he was having an extra marital affair with who was ...

After being MIA for four years, Keith "Matt" Maupin has been returned to his parents, and to an outpouring of support on a scale that's just incredible. http://www.wlwt.com/video /16019349/index.html Matt Maupin was declared to have been killed in a video in 2004, but it was of such poor quality that the military could not verify the identity of the victim. His parents never gave up hope until his remains were found and identified by DNA analysis. This is one example of how real supporters of our troops show it.

The purest Male voice in country music EVAR! Ignore the Asian hieroglyphs. "He'll Have to Go" is not only a great song: It's a great lullaby (if you can fake a decent tenor)

The purest female voice in Country Music EVAR! This audio doesn't do her justice. Keep in mind; there were no fancy recording studios. You didn't get to record multiple tracks and cut and splice what sounded good. No one "re-mixed" your voice. You sang it live, with the musicians, and it was imprinted on the vinyl.

Lifted from: http://www.goodcleantech.com Posted By: Steven Volynets Earlier this month we all had to do what I cynically refer to as the obligatory clock walk. That's when all the clocks and watches around the house had to be sprung one hour forward for the daylight saving time (DTS). Yet, scrambling to advance time and catch more sunlight - a practice that was originally established to reduce the country's electricity usage - may actually cost us 1.21 gigawatts of power. The figure came by way of a UC Santa Barbara study of the state of Indiana, where DTS has only been observed for the past few years. According to Gizmodo , the study concluded that an added hour may have reduced the need for extra lighting. However, air-conditioning in the summer and heating in the fall were used more than they would with less daylight. This cost Indiana residents roughly $8.6 million more in energy bills annually with the additional $5.3 million per year in "increased pollution costs...

OK so in the spirit of silly, and with April 1 looming, this from the Otto Vault. I cannot say who. (there may still be some need for protection.) But I can say, circa 1970, high school. I'm quite sure it would be impossible for this chemistry to occur today. And even then, only in Minnesota. Utterly real, and unrehearsed.

Another live version with actual songs, actually being sung, by actual people.

At least in the Pop category I like this version, because it's obviously live. He's actually singing the actual words into an actual microphone. This is my nominee for best pop song EVAR! You got a better one? Let me know.
