A toast to those who cannot be home with friends and family.

We knew our government was pissing on us. It just wasn't THIS literal before.

How to turn a Ticket into an Arrest.

Some of you may or may not remember THIS post back in January. Well, I’ve updated it a little to: THE TOP 10 Reasons TO Vote for McCain! 10. He’s not a Socialist. 9. He’s not a Communist. 8. McCain will only take a little of your hard-earned money instead of all of it. 7. Whether you like McCain or not, The Gipper would have voted for him. 6. Jo’Bama or McCalin isn’t that tough of a choice to make. 5. Terrorists fear John. I heard he once killed one with his bare hands. 4. Wait, that was Fred. Nevermind. 3. Don would have made THIS SIGN for nothing. 2. McCain really isn’t THAT old. Noah was like 500 years old when he built the Ark. 1. I still want to WIN the war.

Had my McCain/Palin sign stolen out of my front yard last night. They didn't take the Dole or the McCrory signs, just the McCain/Palin. Got my neighbor's as well. When something like this comes to rural America I can only think of one thing: they're getting desperate. But I think the new, handmade sign will make more of a statement then the one I bought.

Found this little gem in my dessert today:

Scared now?

Your turn, buddy.

Not sure why, but the guys over at ProtestWarrior.com are closing the store. Go buy something!!

In a unilateral exertion of my executive power, I rounded up the amount to $130. A few pledges haven't cleared yet. As soon as they do, I'll have a frakkin' math post. Then I'm going back to being a beer tender.

I just got an email from Bill and he's willing to provide the books at cost. So the total, including shipping, is only $125. So we have about $345 extra bucks. (I should have mentioned earlier that Paypal charges a 3.2% transaction fee, so our total is a bit less than $470) So, refunds? Or take kulak's idea and donate the balance to Soldiers' Angels or some other group? Just let me know.

Mark William Paules is a high school teacher. That's his day job. But he is, first and foremost, a patriot. In a rare attempt to combine these two avocations, he made this appeal "I need 20 copies of "Silent America" for my classroom. The school is broke, but I think we can raise the money right on a thread if you're willing. How about a pledge week for Mr. Paules' classroom?" To that end, we have started the MPC ("Mr Paules' Classroom") pledge drive. Please use the paypal button on the left sidebar to donate. To keep things on the up and up, I will note all donations in comments to this post. If you wish to remain anonymous, please say so in the "description" field of your donation. If you make a donation and don't see it noted in the comments please let me know. daddyquatro_at_gmail_dot com. Can we do it! Yes we can!

...or else. UPDATE: Here's their logo: Wear it with pride, you pygocentrus nattereri !

Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free; We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea; Our land abounds in nature’s gifts Of beauty rich and rare; In history’s page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair. Beneath our radiant Southern Cross We’ll toil with hearts and hands; To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands; For those who’ve come across the seas We’ve boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine To Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair. Update. Oh holy crap! This REALLY RAWKS!
