Waht do you think? I am having a hard time getting used to it. Users profiles look weird.... even who I moderate my communities is diffrent
I recived my Oregon Voters ballot in the mail today, I have been reading through the voters pamplet. Of course I will be voting for John Mccsin for President, but there is no real clear choice for the U.S. Senate. There is Gordon Smith (R) but he's actully a RINO and he pretty much admits it. He claims to be bi-partisan and he uses democrats in his campaign ads. Then there is Jeff Merkely, (D) he is your typical liberal democrat kool-aid drinker. Finally there is Dave Brownlow (Constiutionalist) who belives the wars in Iraq and Afghaniustan are unconstitutional. None of these candidates follow my core values. I was thinking of writing in Elmo,
(some little kids at a troop rally I attended were yelling vote for Elmo) Hmmmm... or maybe I should Write in Joe the plumber.... hmmm....

One evening a Husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife 'Perhaps we should start washing your Clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your Butt!'
His Wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded.
The next morning the Husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer. 'What the Hell is this?' he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them out. 'April,' he hollered into the bathroom, 'why did you put Talcum Powder in my Underwear?'
She replied with a snicker. 'It's not talcum powder, It's 'Miracle Grow!'

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, a fter a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out.?
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 3
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing? 'The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 4
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..
Lesson 5
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.?
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
THUS ENDS THE FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE

THUS ENDS THE FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE
So I asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her,
If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
"Wow... what a worthy goal !" I told her, "You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50 ?"
I said... "Welcome to the Republican Party !"
(Her folks still aren't talking to me!)

Yes, It is possible that Barack Obama's "If you put Lipstick on Pig, It's still a Pig" comment was taken out of context, but when you are a presidential candidate you have to choose everything you say wisely knowing it could be taken out of context.
He as the "Audacity" to blame the republicans of lying when the left has done a hell of allot more to smear Sarah Palin. In fact why has this turned into Obama Vs. Palin? She is the VP choice not the Presidential choice. The left is scared to death of Sarah Palin because they know she will get McCain elected.
I think Obama's comment will hurt his chances come election day, and his response was "more of the same"
That's my 2 cents, and Obama can keep the change.

The MSM and particularly NBC, CNN and ABCNEWS among others continue to declare that Palin does not have female (or male) supporters despite evidence to the contrary that many women (and males) across many demographics love Gov Sarah Palin including Democrats and previously Hillary suppporters.
To add insult to injury, they smear her family with the most sexist, disgusting and inappropriate remarks.
Let's fight back!
You are encouraged to contact the offenders, sign this petition, and let others know so we can stand up to the smears!
We are shooting for 5,000 by the end of September after which we plan to print and mail this to CNN and MSNBC, ABCNEWS and others.
Please feel free to take some time to sign this petition:

You Are Fraud |
![]() You will do anything to get ahead. And if you fail, you can always reinvent yourself. You probably have a sordid past, and you're good at completely hiding it. You find it easy to lie. No one can tell if you're lying, and lying doesn't make you feel guilty. You think people are gullible. And you rather fool them than get fooled. |
Can you read my icon ok?
Please get rid of Geradlo Rivera. I'm sick of listening to his over sensationalized crap, and how Katrina was the governmnets fault. Please fire his ass!!
After 31 hours of labor, Rose-Tu had a 286-pound male baby at 3:56 p.m. on Aug. 23. The baby is strong and doing well in spite of the fact that Rose-Tu showed aggression toward it immediately after the birth, causing keepers to temporarily separate the two. Reintroduction efforts are under way.

Any cute baby names? I'm kinda partial to Baby Reagan myself :)

It's been like 2 years since I have played neopets yeah I know it's a kids site.
I thought It would be fun to create a new pet and name him BarackHussien, neopets wrote me and gave me a warning that this was offensive. WTF? They removed my pet too and said that I could get my account frozen if I violated the TOS again.
Screw them! I don't care if it is a kiddy site, my freedom of speach was violated. There was nothing offensive about the name! I will never play it again. Besides they changed the whole site around and it's very confusing.

I spelled my aunt's name wrong on my icon and I have updated it.
Also I have raised $60 in honor of my aunt for The American Cancer Society Relay for Life Program.
I am a childhood cancer survior so this hits me pretty hard, also now that I know there is a history of breast cancer in my family, (my aunt is the only known case) I am extra causious. Cancer is prominant in my family, I had a wilms' tumor in my right kidney at the age of 4, my brother had hodgkins disease at the age of 4 (youngest known case at the time) we are both surviors but others are not so lucky. My mom's brother died from Luekeima at the age of 4. My Grand Father had cancer as well and died when I was 5, I can't remember what type though.

As you can see I changed my icon. Today my Aunt lost her battle, she had complications from her breast cancer after a double mastectomy,, the cancer had spread into to her bones, they gave her a week to live and she lived almost 3 months. I thought it fitting that I honor her.
I am scared of spiders, mosty the black hairy ones. They give me nightmares. I don't like touching sterofoam, it's just creepy. I don't like people rubbing baloons, I'm scared of ballons popping I don't like blowing baloons up, I don't like it when baloons pop right in fromt of me.

Barack Obama delivered a speech in West Lafeyette, IN on Wednesday and once again mangled some well known historical facts:
Throughout our history, America's confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an ever-changing world.
Aaah yes – "the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor." Who can forget that? It was the big one, the one that took out all those boats. I guess Obama's political correctness prevents him from noting someone actually dropped "the bomb" and it didn't just fall.
This is a surprising error for a Hawaii native (via the great Kansas heartland) to make. Perhaps Obama was merely confused, as he and his surrogates so often accuse John McCain of being.

I recive these scam letters all the time but this one today caught my eye. Is there a place where you can report these scams are is there so many going around nothing is ever done about it?
Subject: Help Me Out From Iraq
Please pardon me, as I am aware that this is not a conventional way of relaying an important massage such as this. I did try without success to locate either your contact address or fax number and as such, I resorted in contacting you via email.
I know the medium is not the most secured way of relaying information of vital importance, but I have decided to take the chance seeing that no other means could have been faster and more efficient than the E-mail.
I write to you irrespective of the fact you do not know me, but please do consider this letter as a request from a man in dire need of assistance.After the fall of Saddam Hussein, We discovered various amount of cash running into Millions of Dollars, which we returned to the relevant authorities here in Iraqi. As you know, we are being attacked by insurgents on daily basis coupled with IED (Improvised explosive device)explosives we encounter almost every day.
This has been responsible for the loss of Soldiers more than combat confrontations.During one of our routine operations we came across a safe that contained the total sum of $61,000,000 (Sixty one Million Us Dollars) that belonged to a member of the fallen regime, which I believe were stashed away from the countryʼs treasury for hi Personal use. Upon the discovery of this sum, it was agreed by my team of soldiers, that the find be undisclosed and shared amongst us.
Some of it was eventually returned to the army so we donʼt
attract any suspicion on us.You can go to this web link to read about similar events:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_e ast/2988455.stm
I hereby bring to your notice that of the total sum found, I have been able to keep $8,000,000.00 successfully (Eight Million US Dollars). I now seek for your assistance, to help receive these funds if i have them evacuated
from Iraq. However, you have to assure me that my own share will be safe if left in your custody for investment.
I will have this project shared 50-50 between us, all you have to do is just help me receive this funds for investment when moved out of Iraq.
As you know, Iraq is a war zone, and movement of such an amount can be difficult, but just to make things clear to you, We plan using our diplomatic immunity to move these funds to Canada, Australia, United States and the UK to mention a few, but we do have other logistic destinations periodically. Therefore, I can also have the funds moved to some other safe location where we have freight immunity.
If you find it in your heart to help, I will send you the full
details, my duty now is to find a good partner that i can trust and that will assist me in investing the funds till we come out of this war.One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer,please destroy this e-mail as any leakage of it may jeopardize my career and mission.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, kindly send me an e-mail,
signifying your interest including your telephone/fax numbers, for quick communication
NOTE: This Transaction is risk free, and the Funds can be shipped out within 48hrs after we have both agreed to carry out this Project.
