Joke Of The Day

An old man, Mr. Goldstein, was living the last of his life in a Nursing home. One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed. Nurse Barton asked if there was anything wrong.

Yes, Nurse Barton," said Mr. Goldstein, "My penis died today, and I am very sad."

Knowing her patients were forgetful and sometimes a little crazy, she replied, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Goldstein, please accept my condolences."

The following day, Mr. Goldstein was walking down the hall with his penis hanging out his pajamas, when he met Nurse Barton. Mr. Goldstein," she said, "You shouldn't be walking down the hall like this. Please put your penis back inside your pajamas."

"But, Nurse Barton," replied Mr. Goldstein, "I told you yesterday that my penis died."

"Yes, you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your pajamas?" asked Nurse Barton.

"Well," he replied. "Today's the viewing."

New Russian Nuke Can Penetrate Missile Defense Systems

The Russians move forward while Barack Hussein Obama moves us back to the Stone Ages.


Russia has developed a stand-alone nuclear warhead capable of penetrating any existing or projecting missile defense system, informs Interfax news agency.
According to Yury Solomonov, the chief designer of the Moscow Heat Engineering Institute, this unique system was successfully tested last year.

Unlike the payload of all previously-developed intercontinental ballistic missiles, the new weapon can hit several targets located at great distance from each other.

This means that the current multiple warhead dispensing mechanism called “bus”, a segment that delivers warheads to the destined drop zone used in all modern missiles, will be eliminated, because in the new system, once the terminal stage vehicle of ICBM booster does its job, the missile separates into warheads with “individual means of delivery to destination.”

He said that 30 years ago such a system was discussed and labeled science fiction.

The new innovative technology will “put a full stop on all discussions regarding our countermeasures towards non-existent antiballistic missile defense system of our potential enemy,” Solomonov is cited as having said.

Joke Of The Day

An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite Italian anisette sprinkle cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed.

Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death’s agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite anisette sprinkle cookies.

Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted Italian wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.

The aged and withered hand trembled on its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife…… “Back off!” she said, “They’re for the funeral.”

Joke Of The Day

A little girl asked her Mom, 'Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?' Mom replies, 'No, because she is in heat.'

'What's that mean?' asked the child.

'Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage.'

The little girl goes to the garage and says, 'Dad, may I take Belle for a walk around the block? I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in heat, and to come to you.'

Dad said, 'Bring Belle over here.' He took a rag, soaked it with gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said 'OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time round the block.'

The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash. Surprised, Dad asked, 'Where's Belle?'

The little girl said, 'She ran out of gas about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home.'

A hiker gets lost in the woods and spends the next three days wandering around with no food. Finally, he spots a bald eagle on a ledge, hits it with a big rock, and begins eating it raw.

A park ranger stumbles on the scene and arrests the hiker for killing an endangered species.

In court the hiker explains that he was on the edge of starvation and had no choice.

“Considering the circumstances, I find you not guilty,” says the judge. “But I have to ask—what did the eagle taste like?”

“Well, your honor,” the hiker says, “if I had to describe it, I’d say it tasted something like a cross between spotted owl and blue whale.”

Life Lessons from Jack LaLanne


He was quite the encouragement to many people over the years including me. Rest in peace good man.

LaLanne would roll his eyes at guys reading newspapers on stationary cycles. That wasn’t exercising. No, for LaLanne, every exercise needed to be done as hard as possible. And he let his muscles know it: "’C'mon, you bastards!’ See, you gotta talk to `em. These muscles are saying, `I can't do it anymore.' The hell you can't! I won't feed you! You sons of bitches work for me, Jack LaLanne! These muscles are my servants."

Here are some other lessons to take away from a life well-lived:

LaLanne on pushing hard . . .
"I believe in vigorous, violent, daily, systematic exercise to the point of muscle failure."

LaLanne on habits . . .
“It’s not what you do some of the time that counts, it’s what you do all of the time that counts.”

“Exercise is King, nutrition is Queen, put them together and you’ve got a kingdom.”

LaLanne on mental fitness . . .
"Fitness starts between your ears. Your muscles, what the hell do they know? Nothing. It's brains. If you had to eat carrots the rest of your life, you'd go nuts. It's variety, see? That's why I change my workout every 30 days.

LaLanne on nutrition . .
“If it tastes good, spit it out."

“Eat right and you can’t go wrong.”

"If man makes it, I don't eat it."

"Look at my Corvette, a `98—one of the finest sports cars I've ever had. Would I put water in the gas tank? Well, think about the crap people put in their bodies--white flour, sugar, all this processed food. It's just like using water for fuel."

LaLanne on abs . . .
“Your waistline is your lifeline.”

The scissors exercise: Grip the seat of an armless chair, straighten your legs, lift them as high as you can, then quickly and continuously cross them over each other.

The LaLanne meal plan . . .
Breakfast was always LaLanne’s biggest meal of the day, a blended concoction of juice, wheat germ, brewer's yeast, bone meal, protein powder, and handfuls of vitamins and minerals. He would drink it after his workout, too, when he was too thirsty to mind the awful taste.

Lunch was three to five pieces of fruit, vegetable soup, and four egg whites.

Dinner was a salad, plus fresh fish and brown rice.

LaLanne on working every muscle of the body . . .
“Your health account is like your bank account: The more you put in, the more you can take out.”

LaLanne claimed to work every one of his 640 muscles in his body every day. That included doing goofy facial contortions and picking up marbles with his toes.

LaLanne on longevity . . .
“I can’t die. It would ruin my image.”

“People don’t die of old age, they die of inactivity.”

“Never, ever think of dying. I think of living . . . living, boy, you have to work at it.”

LaLanne on the sexual health benefits of exercise . . .
"I wake up every morning with an erection a cat can't scratch.”

LaLanne on motivation . . .
“Do, don’t stew.”

“Anything in life is possible and you can make it happen.”

Chainsaw Carving Championships

Joke Of The Day

"We'll go to Wall-Mart, get some cheesy clothes and shoes like most middle Americans wear then stop at the pound and pick up a Labrador. When we look the part, we'll go to a nice old country bar in Montana and show them how much admiration and respect we have for the hard working people living there."

So they did, and found just the place they were looking for in Whitefish, Montana . With the dog in tow they walked inside and stepped up to the bar. The Bartender took a step back and said, "Aren't you Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?"

"Yes we are," said Nancy , "And what a lovely town you have here. We were passing through and Harry suggested we stop and take in some local color." They ordered a round of bourbon and beers for the house and started chatting up a storm with anyone who would listen.

A grizzled old farmer came in, walked up to the Labrador, lifted its tail and looked underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walked out. A few moments later, in came another old farmer. He walked up to the dog, lifted its tail, looked underneath, scratched his head and left the bar. For the next hour, another dozen people came in, lifted the dog's tail, and left looking puzzled.

Finally, Nancy asked, "why did all those old farmers come in and look under the dog's tail? Is it some sort of custom?"

"Lord no," said the bartender. "It's just that someone told them there was a Labrador in here with two assholes!"

Mommy, Mommy, OBAMA'S A COMMIE!



Video Description:
Go to: www.obamasacommie.com to purchase an MP3 download of "Mommy, Mommy Obama's a Commie!" or the entire CD album, "Is It Too Late?"

This song took a year to write. It had been going through my mind long before I finally wrote it down. As a writer there are some things you just can't shake. You might try to ignore it but it keeps coming back and you just know it's meant to be recorded and shared.

The screams of those on the left over the meaning of "Commie", "Socialist", or "Marxist" can be so aggravating. Being born in 1947 and growing up in a time when we were still having drills in elementary school where the air raid sirens would go off and we'd all get down on our hands and knees under our desks and cover our heads to protect us from a Russian nuclear attack. In those days anyone who talked about the "redistribution of wealth" was either in Russia or in jail and all were "Commies!" That is the way America was back then. Most folks went to church. Most moms stayed home and took care of the kids and kept the home first burning. In spite of the nuclear threat It was a wonderful time to be a child and a much nicer world than it is today.

From 1992-1996 I lived in Russia as a Christian missionary. For 70 years the government of the Soviet Union had banned God and the Bible from public life. Do you really want to live in a socialist country? We stood in long lines for food as did everyone else. There was no customer service. Those that ran the stores were there doing you a favor and any complaints and you might find yourself doing without. Do you really want to live like that.

Here is something to consider for you smart ass Progressives, Socialists, Marxists, and Commies, whatever you want to call yourselves. If you grew up here in America and have never lived under the type of government you propose that we all adopt, then you owe it to yourself to go and live in Russia for a while. Don't just sit back and imagine how glorious it would be to live in a socialist utopia, go and experience it first hand and I think you'll come back with a completely different outlook. The fact is, it's never worked before. Why do you it would work here?

Barack Obama is as close as we've come to socialism. We've got a president now that has been steeping in Marxist juices for his entire life. He can chuckle and laugh all he wants after making his joke about being accused of being a "secret communist" for "sharing his peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the second grade" but the truth is, "IT'S NO SECRET!"

He told us that he was going to "fundamentally change the United States" and he's really done his best. His first two years he's pretty much run rough shod over the American people with his cocky and proud attitude of "Sit down and shut up because I know better than you!" His arrogant tone is so offensive but does he see it? He hasn't been willing to listen to the people and I think he's found that the American people are not going to put up with that crap. If anyone was single-handedly responsible for the creation of the Tea Party it was Barak Obama himself.

To all of you out there who did wake up, Tea Party folks and others who care about our country, we had better continue to wake everyone else that we can. We need to wake them to the point that on election day they have one thing on you're their mind, getting down to the polls and voting for those of like mind. We can take the country in the right direction but it's going to cost us something to do so. We can turn things around and get rid of this leftist big government commie plague. God Help Us!

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Civility?


Beekeeper Leaks EPA Document

This may explain the alarming decline in the bee population.


The world honey bee population has plunged in recent years, worrying beekeepers and farmers who know how critical bee pollination is for many crops. A number of theories have popped up as to why the North American honey bee population has declined--electromagnetic radiation, malnutrition, and climate change have all been pinpointed. Now a leaked EPA document reveals that the agency allowed the widespread use of a bee-toxic pesticide, despite warnings from EPA scientists.

The document, which was leaked to a Colorado beekeeper, shows that the EPA has ignored warnings about the use of clothianidin, a pesticide produced by Bayer that mainly is used to pre-treat corn seeds. The pesticide scooped up $262 million in sales in 2009 by farmers, who also use the substance on canola, soy, sugar beets, sunflowers, and wheat, according to Grist.

The leaked document (PDF) was put out in response to Bayer's request to approve use of the pesticide on cotton and mustard. The document invalidates a prior Bayer study that justified the registration of clothianidin on the basis of its safety to honeybees:
Clothianidin’s major risk concern is to nontarget insects (that is, honey bees). Clothianidin is a neonicotinoid insecticide that is both persistent and systemic. Acute toxicity studies to honey bees show that clothianidin is highly toxic on both a contact and an oral basis. Although EFED does not conduct RQ based risk assessments on non-target insects, information from standard tests and field studies, as well as incident reports involving other neonicotinoids insecticides (e.g., imidacloprid) suggest the potential for long-term toxic risk to honey bees and other beneficial insects.
The entire 101-page memo is damning (and worth a read). But the opinion of EPA scientists apparently isn't enough for the agency, which is allowing clothianidin to keep its registration.

Suspicions about clothianidin aren't new; the EPA's Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFAD) first expressed concern when the pesticide was introduced, in 2003, about the "possibility of toxic exposure to nontarget pollinators [e.g., honeybees] through the translocation of clothianidin residues that result from seed treatment." Clothianidin was still allowed on the market while Bayer worked on a botched toxicity study [PDF], in which test and control fields were planted as close as 968 feet apart.

Clothianidin has already been banned by Germany, France, Italy, and Slovenia for its toxic effects. So why won't the EPA follow? The answer probably has something to do with the American affinity for corn products. But without honey bees, our entire food supply is in trouble.

What has America Become?

"What Has America Become" was the title of a letter to the editior written by Ken Huber of Tawas City, Michigan. It contains a series of comparisons and contrasts which causes one to think about the double-standards and conditions under which we now live here in America.

A reprint of the article has been circulating online (see photo). It was originally printed in the Iosco County News Herald on June 9, 2010, published in the Opinion column.

What has America become?

Editor,

Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?

Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's policies you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.

You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.

We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.

And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.

What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?

Cracking The Credit Card Code

This is a useful information.


Budget Planner Software - Mint.com
There’s hardly a more prominent financial product in America today than the almighty credit card. Nearly everybody has at least one — almost 80% of consumers in 2008, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston – and many use it on a daily basis. Without a doubt, there are also those consumers who know their credit card numbers by heart (makes online shopping and booking travel so much easier, if anything). But how many of you know what those numbers really mean? Contrary to what you may think, they aren’t random. Those 16 digits are there for a reason and, knowing a few simple rules, you could actually learn a lot about a credit card just from its number. This infographic shows you how to crack that code.

What Happened to the Antiwar Movement?



Video Description:
Even as President Obama maintains close to 50,000 troops in Iraq and continues to escalate and expand the war in Afghanistan, the antiwar movement in America continues to shrink.

So, what happened?

Reason.tv visited two antiwar protests—one left-leaning, one libertarian—in an attempt to answer that question. Author and historian Thaddeus Russell and Reason Senior Editor Brian Doherty also weigh in.

War, it seems, is a bipartisan venture, which is reflected by the fact that Democrats have a favorable view of Obama's foreign policy, despite its remarkable similarity to George W. Bush's foreign policy. And though there have been rumblings of antiwar sentiment from some on the Right, Republicans remain strongly in favor of an interventionist foreign policy.

Although public sentiment is turning against the war in Afghanistan, the always-shifting withdrawal deadlines and the unwillingness to touch defense spending mean that this bipartisan war is likely to continue far into the future.

Coming back to the doctor he said "It worked. I feel terrific! What was wrong with me?"

The doctor said "You were homesick."

Michele Bachmann: Obamacare Is Crown Jewel of Socialism

Michele Bachmann told members of the House of Representatives that, "Obamacare is the crown jewel of socialism... We won't stop until we repeal this president."


“Obamacare as we know is the crown jewel of socialism. It is socialized medicine. The American people spoke soundly and clearly at the ballot box in November. And, they said to us Mr. Speaker that in no uncertain terms, “Repeal this bill!” So today this body will cast a vote to repeal Obamacare. And, to those across the United States who think this may be a symbolic act, we have a message for them. This is not symbolic. This is why we were sent here and we will not stop until we repeal a president and put a president in the position of the White House who will repeal this bill. Until we repeal the current senate. Put in a senate who will listen to the American people and repeal this bill. Because what has been the result Mr. Speaker? It’s been this. It’s been job loss. It’s been increases on costs to the American people… This will break the bank and we won’t let that happen to our country. So make no mistake Mr. Speaker. We are here to stay and our resolve is firm. We will continue this fight until Obamacare is no longer the law of the land and until we can pass a bill that will actually cut the cost of health care.”

God and Adam

God said, 'Adam, I
Want you to do
Something for Me.'

Adam said, 'Gladly,
Lord, what do You
Want me to do?'

God said, 'Go down
Into that valley.'

Adam said, 'What's a Valley?'

God explained it to
Him. Then God said,

'Cross the river.'

Adam said, 'What's a River?'

God explained that
To him, and then said,
'Go over to the hill....'

Adam said, 'What is a
Hill?'

So, God explained to
Adam what a hill was.

He told Adam, 'On
The other side of the
Hill you will find a
Cave.'

Adam said, 'What's a
Cave?'

After God explained,
He said, 'In the cave
You will find a woman.'

Adam said, 'What's a Woman?'

So God explained
That to him, too.

Then, God said,
'I Want you to
Reproduce.'

Adam said, 'How do
I do that?'

God first said (under
His breath), 'Geez.....'

And then, just like Everything else,
God Explained that to Adam, as well.

So, Adam goes down
Into the valley,

Across the river, and
Over the hill, into the
Cave, and finds the
Woman.

Then, in about five Minutes, he was back.

God, His patience
Wearing thin, said
Angrily, 'What is it
Now?'

And Adam said....

'What's a headache?'
