Bill Barnes (72) Beats Pickpocket's Ass
GRAND RAPIDS 25 June 2007— Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.
He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.
"I guess he thought I was an easy mark," Barnes, 72, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story Tuesday.

Haji Girl Song
This video was banned by YouTube. I don't see why. US Marine Corporal Joshua Belile
is shown singing his song in Iraq. It's not nearly as offensive as some of the stuff on YouTube.

F-16 Mishap Video
It's said that this happened at Nellis AFB, Nevada. There are too many trees to be Nellis. My guess is that it is Alaska.

Household Principles for Children from the Old Testament
Lamentations of the Father by Ian Frazier
Laws of Forbidden Places
Of the beasts of the field, and of the fishes of the sea, and of all
foods that are acceptable in my sight you may eat, but not in the living
room. Of the hoofed animals, broiled or ground into burgers, you may
eat, but not in the living room.
Of the cloven-hoofed animal, plain or with cheese, you may eat,
but not in the living room.
Of the cereal grains, of the corn and of the wheat and of the oats, and of all the
cereals that are of bright colour and unknown provenance you may eat,
but not in the living room. Of quiescently frozen dessert and of all
frozen after-meal treats you may eat, but absolutely not in the living room.
Of the juices and other beverages, yes, even of those in sippy-cups, you
may drink, but not in the living room, neither may you carry such
therein. Indeed, when you reach the place where the living room carpet
begins, of any food or beverage there you may not eat, neither may you
drink.
But if you are sick, and are lying down and watching something, then may
you eat in the living room."

Vibrator Found Imbedded in Hit and Run Victim
After being hit from behind by a motorcycle Sunday evening, a 32-year-old woman was left lying near a crosswalk in Fort Collins, Colorado. Two women witnessed the accident and called police. She had been knocked out from the hit and had a broken and bleeding left arm ,said one of the women on the seen.
A small crowd around the lady had formed quickly in the busy neighborhood off of Boardwalk Ave. When paramedics arrived she was still unconscious. The paramedics were stretching the victim out to examine her injuries ,said one witness. They took her fanny pack off and pulled it up with an iPod attached. The iPod had wires to her ears but also wires running into her shorts.
“This was a serious accident”, said one witnesses, “but when they pulled that vibrator hooked to her iPod out of her shorts you could see everyone’s faces turn red. She was lucky she was still knocked out for the ride to the hospital. I don’t think I could have survived the embarrassment”.

Oatmeal is my favourite sport. Im a metaphor for the internal combustion engine. I once raced a squirrel to the top of a maple tree and won. I square dance on round tables. I have crossed the state of Wyoming on a pogo stick. Speedvision has already purchased the rights to televise my funeral procession. I can breathe underwater. I trained an orphaned bear cub to fetch my newspaper every morning. I have brushed elbows with world leaders and brushed lint off my knickers. I was raised by a pack of wild platypuses. I won the Iditarod sled race with my team of specially-bred boars. I won the lottery and was struck by lightning on the same day. I cheer for pigeons. I have influenced the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Salt-N-Pepa. I enjoy pole-vaulting in the park. Men are puzzled by my charm. My collection of designer egg-slicers has international appeal. By sledding down the North Face of Mt. Everest I set the world land-speed record.

This morning on the way to work I rear-ended a car at some lights.
I was not really paying attention. Anyway the fella who was driving got out.
And he was a dwarf!
He said "I'm not happy!
I said "Well which one are you then "

The Roswell Connection
Historical Fact (or at least nice fiction):
On July 8, 1947 witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch outside Roswell, New Mexico. Many say that the U.S. Air Force and the Federal Government covered up this incident.
What the government can not hide, however, is that in March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic event, the following politicians were born:
· Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.
· Hillary Rodham ;
· John F. Kerry;
· William Jefferson Clinton;
· Howard Dean;
· Nancy Pelosi;
· Dianne Feinstein;
· Charles E. Schumer and,
· Barbara Boxer
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? This information may clear up a lot of things.

NEW ATM SCAM?
This is not an urban legend, it happened to me.
I was getting cash from an ATM in a grocery store. The ATM was the kind that sucks your card all the way in.
Just as the cash dispensed and I finalized the transaction, a guy walked up saying he had to restock the deposit envelopes. As I snatched my cash I told him to back off and he apologized and did.
I then spent some time trying to figure out why the ATM didn't pop my card out. I spoke with the bank and they said that they didn't service the machine and that it probably sucked my card back in and shredded it. They gave me a business card and told me to call on Monday to see if my shredded card was in there when it was opened.
They were not my bank.
I called my bank and tried to report the card lost. The option (number four, if you're interested) was not working. I tried all night. The next day, Saturday, I went to my bank and reported the card in person. Checking my activity I noticed one transaction at the grocery store. I didn't buy anything. I lost my card.
I've been trying to figure out how this punk got my card ever since. I think I have figured it out...
1. He said he was restocking the deposit envelopes.
2. He had a stack of them in his left hand. He approached from my right.
3. Since he started talking first my attention was on my cash there in the slot.
4. When I told him to back off I instinctively looked at him.
5. He covered my card with the envelopes and took the card.
6. This all happened as soon as I hit the "done" button. I figure he was watching and swooped in as soon as I hit it.
A simple sleight of hand and my card was gone.
This happened in Las Vegas, Nevada. Has this happened to you?
Hope this post will prevent it happening to you.

The 2004 Presidential Debate
I came across this in my old blog and had to reprint it. Enjoy.
An un-named source has released the script for the first debate between John Kerry and George Bush.
DAN RATHER: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and thank you for tuning in to the first Presidential debate between Senator John Kerry and the challenger, George W. Bush. Good evening Senator Kerry and welcome.
KERRY: Hello Dan, pleased to be here.
RATHER: Good evening, Mr. Bush.
BUSH: Hi Dan. May I point out, I'm the President of the United States of America?
RATHER: We'll see about that. Tonight's format will be question and answer. Each candidate will be asked a question and given an opportunity to answer. The opponent will then be given an opportunity to respond.
KERRY: Sounds great.
BUSH: Okay, let's roll.
RATHER: Earlier, we flipped a coin and Senator Kerry won the toss. Senator Kerry, why do you want to be President?
KERRY: I feel that in these troubled economic times, the American people need a war-time hero who will fight for their jobs.
RATHER: George Bush, your response?
BUSH: Our economy took a severe set-back when America was attacked by the Islamic Fascist Terrorists. The American people responded and the economy has had an unprecedented growth.
RATHER: Mister Bush, why do you want to be President?
BUSH: Might I point out, I am the President and will continue to serve the people in an honest, bold, brave manner, fitting of our great country.
RATHER: Senator Kerry?
KERRY: He's a fucking liar.
RATHER: Second question. Senator Kerry, what do you feel is the greatest challenge facing America?
KERRY: Jobs, Dan. Nobody in America is making enough money to be happy. I propose giving the unwashed masses enough money to be happy.
RATHER: George?
BUSH: It's the War, not the economy. If we don't protect America from Radical Islam, Mr Kerry's program will only insure that the people will die at work.
RATHER: George mentioned a war. Know anything about that, Senator Kerry?
KERRY: I'm well acquainted with war, Dan. See these three Purple Hearts?
BUSH: Didn't you throw those medals and a Bronze Star and a Silver Star over the White House fence in 1971? Where did you get these?
KERRY: E-Bay.
RATHER: Mister Bush, did you serve in Vietnam?
BUSH: No, I served in the Texan Air National Guard.
RATHER: So you didn't serve in Vietnam. Why not?
BUSH: I was qualified to fly the F-106 and it wasn't used in Vietnam.
RATHER: So you didn't see combat?
BUSH: No. I asked for transfer to Vietnam but the requests were denied.
KERRY: Hey Dan. You wanna see these Purple Hearts?
RATHER: Not right now. Mister Bush, I have here a report from your Commanding Officer in 1971. Have you seen it before?
BUSH: No.
RATHER: It states that on January 26th, 1972, you bombed and strafed innocent civilians in Waco, Texas.
BUSH: No shit?
RATHER: Is that a denial of these facts?
BUSH: The F-106 doesn't drop bombs. It was an interceptor.
RATHER: Senator Kerry, do you wish to respond to these denials?
KERRY: I relish the opportunity to respond to these allegations. My memory is seared by the mission into Cambodia I was ordered by President Nixon to undertake.
RATHER: Wow! Nixon ordered you into Cambodia? Why?
KERRY: My mission was to find and assassinate a renegade Special Forces Colonel by the name of Kurtz. I spent Christmas, 1968, in Cambodia.
BUSH: Didn't Nixon become President in January, 1969?
RATHER: Shut up! Go on.
BUSH: You want me to shut up or go on?
RATHER: You shut up. You go on.
BUSH: Huh?
KERRY: Hey dumb ass, he wants you to shut up and me to go on.
BUSH: Pussy.
RATHER: What?
BUSH: Nothing.
KERRY: Anyway, as I was saying. I was wounded the first time when I ordered a Viet Cong Sampan to stop and be searched.
RATHER: The Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth say that this sampan was justing fishing.
KERRY: That's just what they want you to think. Anyway, they dropped their rods and picked up AK-47's. I then opened up with the 50 cal and blew away 50 of the little yellow bastards.
BUSH: Steve Gardner says that the only people who were killed were four men and a four year old girl?
KERRY: That wasn't a girl. It was a female Viet Cong.
RATHER: So she wasn't four years old?
KERRY: I don't know, the fog of war you know. Could've been six.
RATHER: Are you saying you shot a four year old girl.
KERRY: No I missed her.
BUSH: You missed her?
KERRY: No, shot her.
RATHER: Did you shoot her or did you miss?
KERRY: I missed her just before I shot her.
BUSH: Huh?
RATHER: You shot her because she was shooting at you?
KERRY: Bitch got what she deserved.
BUSH: I thought they was fishing?
RATHER: Senator Kerry, do you feel we should be in Iraq?
KERRY: I feel that we shouldn't inflict Democracy on the Peace Loving People's of Vietnam?
BUSH: Vietnam?
KERRY: No, not Vietnam. Iraq. It's not the French thing to do.
BUSH: French?
KERRY: No, not yet. Maybe next year.
RATHER: Huh?
KERRY: The most important thing to keep in mind when we talk about Iraq is that I won Three Purple Hearts. See?
BUSH: Mr Rather, I believe it's my turn for you to ask me a question.
RATHER: Sure George. Why are you here?
BUSH: To engage my opponent in a meaningful debate on the issues.
RATHER: Next question. Senator Kerry, were there Weapons of Mass Destruction?
KERRY: No, the biggest thing we had was the 50 cals. and the M-79 grenade launcher. That was a tricky sumbitch The Sub boys had the Nukes, probably the carriers now that I think of it. See?
BUSH: In Iraq!
KERRY: No dumb ass, there are no subs or carriers in Iraq. It's full of sand and shit.
RATHER: I'll have to warn you Mister Bush, not to interrupt Senator Kerry while he's speaking.
RATHER: Senator Kerry, what is your greatest accomplishment?
KERRY: The Cheese Investigation.
Bush: What?
RATHER: Shh. Go on.
KERRY: I was executive officer aboard the USS Gridley. This was my first tour in Vietnam. The Captain was given a really nice cheese ball in Australia. He asked me to get him a dish of it after dinner one night. When I unlocked the refrigerator, I found that it was gone. See? I questioned the mess cooks. See? They didn't know nothing, which wasn't unusual since they were Negroes. See? I figured that some bright boy had made a duplicate key to the cooler. I called the ship to General Quarters and proceeded to search the ship for the key. No key. See? I then recommended that we strip search the crew. It was during a rather violent but enjoyable cavity search that a seaman confessed to duplicating the key but had thrown it overboard. See? I was awarded the Silver Star for this Action. See?
RATHER: So you do cavity searches?
KERRY: Yes.
RATHER: Here's my cell number.
BUSH: Can we stick to the issues, please.
RATHER: Right, Senator Kerry. Do you support the traditional view of marriage?
KERRY: I relish the opportunity to answer that question. I feel that a marriage should be between a man and a bank account.
BUSH: Did you say "Bank Account"?
KERRY: Yes, her name is Teresa.
BUSH: Does shit fall out of your mouth every time you open it?
RATHER: I'm asking the questions here.
BUSH: You mind zipping your fly, Dan?
RATHER: In closing, would you like to sum up your positions. Senator Kerry?
KERRY: I've got Three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star. See? I would've gotten more than a Bronze Star. See? If I would have found the strawberries. See? But the officers of the wardroom conspired against me. See? I proved, with geometric logic that there was a key. See? But they were all against me. See?
RATHER: Thank you Mr President.
BUSH: Can I say something now?
RATHER: Shut up.
BUSH: Fuck you. I'm outta here.
RATHER: I'd like to thank our audience for tuning into this special edition of "Sixty Minutes". We invite you to join us next week for another informative debate between Senator John Kerry and his challenger, George Bush. Don't forget to vote for John Kerry and Good Night.
Bad Names
Let's face a fact shall we? Some People are not meant to reproduce. The evidence for this is readily seen in the names they choose for the fruit of their loins. This is a list of stupid names. Names you should not name your baby. I've have already screened the African names and the Oriental Names. I knew a Thai chick in high school whose name was "It". She liked to be called "Susan", but her friends and enemies alike called her "Cousin It". I had an in-law whose name is "Sputnik". Her parents wanted her name to be "Historic".
See what I mean? So if you want to sign up your baby for counseling right now, use one of these names.
Sadly, the names are on the list because someone, somewhere has been named this.
ALPHA- First Born F Greek
APPLE- Sweet Fruit, Cherished One F American
ARKANSAS- Southern Wind E Native America. Before this gets out of hand let's just not name your baby after a U.S. State.
ASTRO- Of the Stars M Greek. You were named after the dog in "The Jetsons"???
BABY- Infant E English. Real fit of originality here.
BAMBI- Child F Italian. No, no, no, no!
BLUE- The Color E American
BUCK- Deer or Cowboy M American. How many times will the guy have to hear “What the Fuck, Buck?”
CAN- Beloved M Turkish.
CHILL- From the name CHILTON M English.
DOT- Gift of God F Greek. “That’s just my nickname. I real name is Period.”
EASTER-From the Holiday F American. Let me guess. Your middle name is Bunny.
ETERNITY- Everlasting F American.
FEBRUARY- Born in February E American. Another burst of originality.
FIELD- A Field M English. Commemorating the location of conception, no doubt.
FLOWER- From the name Florence F Latin. No hiding it, the first of the Hippie Names.
FOREVER- Never ending F American. I would have never guessed that meaning. As in, “It feels like I’ve been pregnant forever.”
FOUNTAIN- A spring E French. Daddy (or Mommy) came like a….
GAY- Merry, Happy F English. Come on…could you have waited until she was a teenager to get judgmental?
HERO- Brave Defender E Greek. Well intentioned but still abusive. For a Girl?? “I’m taking Hero to the Prom”. Right. That’ll get her dates.
HUCKLEBERRY- Sweet Berry M American. We’re not making this up.
HUMMER- High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle. E American. I had a girlfriend named “BJ”. But this is going too far.
HYMAN- Life M Hebrew. “We named you that Honey because Mommy got pregnant the first time we tried.”
ION- God is Good M Celtic. “You cute little charged particle ,you.”
JOCK- Short form of Jacob or John M Celtic.
KISS- Expression of caring E American.
LAQUINTA- The Fifth F American. Why would you name your baby after a motel chain? Unless we’re celebrating the place of conception again.
LUCKY- Fortunate, Light E American. Come on, we named the dog Lucky. Can you imagine naming your daughter “Lucky”?
MARS- God of War E Greek.
MASSACHUSETTS- Around Big Hill E Native American. I know I promised to eliminate all the U.S. State name, but damn. I had to share this one.
MAVERICK- Wildly Independent E American.
MEDIA- Communications F Greek.
MERCURY- God of Trade E Latin.
MOON- From the Moon E American.
MOON-UNIT- One that Orbits the Moon. Don’t laugh, Frank Zappa named his kid this.
MORE- Great E English. Really running out of new ideas aren’t you?
MYSTERY- Unknown, Question F American. No shit? Unknown like, “Who’s my Daddy, Mommy?”
NOVA- New E Latin. No one’s fooling anyone. This is another place of conception thing.
ORAL- Speaker, Word M Latin. What Daddy really wanted that night. Oh shit! Forgot about Oral Roberts.
OVA- Egg F Latin. “Hi, these are our kids, our daughter, Ova and her brother Sperm.”
SAILOR- Sailor E American. Another American name with a mysterious meaning.
SKY- Sky E American. Went on a blind date with a chick named Sky. She said her parents were hippies. Go figure.
STASH- Sun’s Rays M American. “These are our sons, Stash and Reefer.”
STEP- From the name Steven M American.
YOKO- Positive Child F Japanese. Actually not a bad name. What Am I thinking? Lennon takes six shots to the chest and she’s right next to him and isn’t scratched. What irony. She should have committed Suttee.
Shots from the Left
Sometimes listening to Democrats is funnier than MadTV. I humbly submit for your consideration, these true quotes.....
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not.."
-Sen John Kerry on 'Face the Nation' 4 DEC 2005
Nice to know your still hate the U.S. Military, John. FYI: The other guys are the terrorists, not us.
“If you don’t believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn’t vote for me.”
—Sen John Kerry, Jan. 31, 2003.
Yeah, but I still didn't vote for you.
"The idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong".
-John Dean 5 DEC 2005
BEHOLD! John Dean the flaming pillar of knowing what's right or wrong. Draw near and hear his words.
"YEEEHAAAARRRRGGG!" Thanks John, please sit down. The adults are talking.
"I do not believe that we should allow this to be an open-ended commitment without limits or end. Nor do I believe that we can or should pull out of Iraq immediately."
-Sen Hillary Rodham-Clinton
Okay Hill, stay in or pull out? Which is it?
In? Out? In? Out? In? Out?.....Thought so.
"I heard that Osama bin Laden died in the earthquake, and if that's the case, I certainly wouldn't wish anyone harm, but if that's the case, that's good for the world."
-Sen Harry Reid on KVRN-TV 1 DEC 2005
Another good example of why Harry should drink at home...alone. Harry, please move to Virginia and stop embarrassing Nevada.
"We should follow the lead of Congressman John Murtha, who has put forth a plan to make American safer, to make our military stronger and to make Iraq more stable. With his dramatic call for a quick pullout of US troops from Iraq Mr. Murtha has changed the debate in our country."
-Rep Nancy Pelosi 1 DEC 2005
What debate, Nancy? Whether or not to "do" John Murtha. Try and get with Hillary on this "In or Out" thing.
“If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear; We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.” — Bill Clinton, Feb. 17,1998.
This is NOT Clinton lying about WMD's. Oh no, never.
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.” — Ted Kennedy, Sept. 27, 2002
Ted Kennedy should resign for lying about WMD's. Just kidding... he should be in jail for drowning Mary Jo.

John Edwards Flames Out on YouTube
This is an interview that John Edwards did for YouTube. He has a nice go of it until the "Shotgun Round". It comes near the end of the interview. Pay close attention to his answers....
This is how the "Shotgun Round" went:
To each issue he was to answer if he thought it was a Right or a Privilege.
A College Education: Right.
Health Care: Right.
A Livable Wage: Right.
Owning a handgun: Privilege.
American Citizenship for someone not born here,
but has worked here for one year: Privilege.
Access to the Internet: Right.
How did he do?
1. Nowhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights are citizens granted the Right to a college education. It has always been a privilege. Although in a Communist State, everyone has a Right to an education.
2. Once again, the Constitution and Bill of Rights do not mention health care. Universal health care is a Right in a Communist or Socialist State.
3. Strike Three. Sorry John, the Bill of Rights does not guarantee a livable wage. However, Communism provides work for everyone. You just might not like the job assigned to you in a "Worker's Paradise".
4. The Second Amendment to the Constitution states:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Sorry John, owning a handgun is a Right. It's that pesky "shall not be infringed" clause. Everyone overlooks that point. In that nothing and they meant nothing can be done by the government to restrict the ownership of firearms. In that an armed citizenship cannot be subdued by the Government by force of arms. You know, like in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. If (big if) John Edwards is elected President we all will know he's lying when he swears to defend the Constitution for all enemies, foreign and domestic.
5. He says he thinks that people not born in this country should earn their citizenship. Thinks? Come on John, think hard. ..... Ooops, time's up. It is a Right of everyone born in America to be granted the Right of Citizenship and be protected by the Bill of Rights. If you immigrate to this country you must renounce your former citizenship and EARN the PRIVILEGE to become an American citizen by adopting our laws, our customs, our language (while it's still English) and swear allegiance to this country. My Mom had to, so everyone else has to.
6. Access to the Internet? Who is smoking what? That one is so stupid, I'm at a loss of words. Sure I'm enjoying access to the Internet right now and so are you for that matter. But a Right? If he thinks that access to the Internet should be a Right then so should driving a car. No licenses, no age limits, no tests. Here's the keys, have at it. Maybe he's hinting that access to the pornography available on the Internet is a Right.
Maybe he just doesn't know the difference between a Right and a Privilege? That's reassuring as we elect him to protect our Rights under the Constitution. John Edwards destroyed his chance to become our President in a mere 34 seconds. Unless of course the electorate doesn't know the difference either.
Awesome Juggler
Sometimes it's nice to pause and appreciate a really talented person.. It doesn't hurt if it's one of your favorite songs. Enjoy...
