Saint Kerry of Taxes

John Kerry is now a Saint....CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS ?
Sheesh

On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D. C., Senator John Kerry's  campaign manager visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral.
 
He told the Cardinal that John Kerry would be attending the next day's  sermon, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Kerry to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Kerry a saint.
 
The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the  man, and there are  issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Kerry's  views." Kerry's manager then said, "Look. I'll write a check here and  now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the  congregation you see Kerry as a saint."
 
 
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the  money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon." As Kerry's  campaign manager promised, Senator Kerry appeared for the Sunday sermon and seated himself prominently at the edge of the main isle.
 
And, during the sermon, as promised, the Cardinal pointed out that  Senator Kerry was present.
 
Then the Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation -- "While  Senator Kerry's presence is probably an honor to some, he is not my  favorite person. Some of his views are contrary to those of  the church,  and he tends to flip-flop on many other views. John Kerry is a petty,  self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. John Kerry is  also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief.
 
John Kerry is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally  witnessed. He turned on his buddies in Vietnam .. He wrote a book and  portrayed himself in the best light when he was a traitor to his fellow   servicemen. He has lied about his military record and had the gall to  put himself in for a medal (including one that does not even exist).
 
He married for money and is using it to lie to the American people. He also has a reputation for shirking his senatorial obligations both here,  in Washington , and in Massachusetts .. He simply is not to be trusted."
 
The Cardinal completed his view of Kerry with,
 

"But, when compared to Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Kerry is a saint."

Ron Silver, RIP

Silver Talks
In Remembrance
When I learned of actor Ron Silver's death, I figgered nobody else would remember Rush Limbaugh's story about him at Clinton's 1993 Inauguration. "When  Air Force jets flew overhead and Ron Silver was furious that the occasion would be marred by such a display of militarism. A Clinton aide reassured him, "Hey, those are our jets now - Meaning, liberals were now in control of the military."  That quote, by Vinnie the K ,on LGF, is one of about 12 million such remembrances I Googled up.   Serves me right for my hubris.

 Ann Coulter celebrates him in her column this week, paying homage to his courage for abandoning his liberal Hollywood philosophy in favor of  truth.  But, maybe I'm the only one who brings you his finest performance, IMO, in the 1984 movie "Garbo Talks."

Feds undercut civilian supply of ammunition
Policy leaves manufacturers without brass for cartridges

A recent government policy change has taken a bite out of the nation's already stressed ammunition supply, leaving arms dealers scrambling to find ammo for private gun owners.

Georgia Arms is a company that for the last 15 years has been purchasing fired brass shell casings from the Department of Defense and private government surplus liquidators. The military collects the discarded casings from fired rounds, then sells them through liquidators to companies like Georgia Arms that remanufacture the casings into ammunition for the law enforcement and civilian gun owner communities.

But earlier this month, Georgia Arms received a canceled order, informed by its supplier that the government now requires fired brass casings be mutilated, in other words, destroyed to a scrap metal state.

The policy change, handed down from the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency, cuts a supply leg out from underneath ammunition manufacturers. [cont]

Of course, with each passing day, these sort of actions increase demand for the product. And, While I do not recognize Obama as a lawful President, I do recognize he has the power to destroy me.  And you.

Flu Epidemic

Today's Health Tips
Two of them


This is my cell cam journal account of how I spent most of  yesterday.  In the ER with one of my kids.  And here's what I learned. 

If you live in Virginia, or Maryland, where a certain flu virus is now epidemic, and cannot keep fluids down, this may very well be your only solution.  IV fluids and anti-nausea meds.  Don't screw with it, and let it get into your kidneys, or other organs.  You're welcome.  PS - all appears to be well, but the patient was admitted for stabilization because he waited for three days and was totally dehydrated.
