If IBD prints it , it has to be true.

I don't think clinton will get far in the primaries...she's just not that cuddly.

Well, I agree with the second part of that.

When it comes to wealth redistribution, at least she was pretty candid about her plans on a couple of occasions.

I guess you mean "dig" up ... ?

Source? Okay, take your pick ... here's a link with 209 of them as of the time of this writing. Or are they all fabrications too?

Not sure what your point is? Are you comparing Obama's gaff to Bush's bald face lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? If it isn't already obvious to the majority of americans, the bush administration could have easily prevented 9-11, they were warned before hand on numerous occasions but felt the threat wasn't serious. When they got caught sleeping they tried to deflect the blame to iraq and saddaam.

There's one thing that's certain, this administration is top notch at lying and deceiving the american public but eventually that catches up to them...I just heard that bush's approval ratings have sunken below Jimmy Carter's.

You mean the same "bald-faced lie" that Senators Kerry and Clinton, et al., told? lol

You're watching too many Michael Moore movies.

It wasn't the democrats that got us into iraq. Bush gambled that he could put up a smoke screen over 911, then quickly get out of iraq in a few months, hence his pathetic..."MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" skit. Looking back on that even I get embarrassed for his stupidity. His retarded thought process can only be explained by all his years of hard partying.

One thing's for sure, you won't catch many rednecks from VA voting for a black man, right Rob? I read that CBS had to close its website because so many racist rednecks were ruining it. I'm wondering how the fascist wing of the republican party will attack Obama during the election...they can hardly use the one they used against McCain,..ie he had a black baby. But I'm sure they'll come up with something, that is if they don't hire a hit man first.

You know, it occured to me that God might be after you rednecks, all the hurricanes in the red states and all.

Obama got a white Mama....

Awwwwwwww, you tug at my heart strings!

When I was in high school, I used to work in the hay fields every summer. I worked for a family who had beef cattle and they leased hundreds of acres of hay fields in addition to the ones they owned. If any of you have ever worked in southwest VA in the summer, 12 hours a day putting up hay you'll know what I went through. I loved it. The people I worked for were the best employees I've ever had, period. They fed us well and always had gallon jugs of cold sweet tea and ice water....I usually went through a couple gallons of water a day and probably a gallon of tea. The farmer's wife made her own bread and made us huge sandwiches with ham and cheese, peanut butter and honey, etc, etc. And they paid minimum wage which at the time was around $2.50/hour. I figured on an average day I handled 25~30 tons of hay. Since I had the longest arms I was delegated to the wagon to load, and then in the barn to stack. Once football season came along, twice-a-day sessions were a vacation compared to what I had just gone through.

I would highly recommend that any highschool football player seek out a farmer who still puts up square bales and sign on for the summer. You'll never get a better workout and enjoy it so much at the same time...but make sure the farmer's wife is right there the whole time keeping the fluids and food coming.

Lye,
Somebody's making a killing on the small decorative bales sold to crafters and for mini Christmas scenes.

Probably midget hay farmers....

[billyjoe]

Lye,
Can't trust them midget farmers. Ever notice how they'll give you the evil eye but will deny it when you pick them up?

geezz....that takes all the fun out of farming.

I used to drink tea....with molasses. That's Maine old fashioned style....you build a fire after a day on the river, boil some water and have a mug of tea sweetened with molasses. Add a soggy peanut butter sandwich and you got a real treat.

yeah, but he's got a black wife so those campaign adds about him hooking up with white women are out

Makin' $ on square bales....

geezz....that takes all the fun out of farming.

It ain't like it used to be Tatnic. Kids today are raised on video games and not taught to do any physical work. They're (by and large) pretty worthless as farm labor and way too soft to pick up square bales all day in the hot sun.... it's sad!

That BaleBandit is great, but it costs about $60k so you have to make a LOT of square bales to justify buying it. http://www.balebandit.com/

Here's a slick little accumulator that'll only cost you about $13k (including the pickup forks and loader brkt) There's a demo video on this website.... http://www.hoelscherinc.com/indexhay.htm

BTW, good horse hay is going for about $6 per square bale today (16x18x40).... A productive piece of bottom land (properly maintained) can yeild about 250-300 bales per acre (per season) so 100 acres can yeild around $150-180k.... I know a fella in Georga that makes 250,000 square bales per year. He uses a "Rebaler" or "Unroller", converting his round bales into square bales as needed.... He uses this machine (about $35-40k including setup & engine) http://www.simpsonunroller.com/

That's some decent money...

Last time I bought some baled stuff it was straw for some site work I'd done around the house. $5/bale, about the same as horse hay up heya anyway. There are still alot of hay fields around these parts but rarely do you see many square bales...its all big rounders with the plastic wrap.

Heck, if I could find a farmer up here still baling square ones I'd volunteer to help him out, just for the excercise (or at least trade for some fresh beef for my labors, or fresh lamb...no horse meat thanks.

BHI Sold

I sold my whole position in BHI this morning. 22.1% gain in 3 months. Looking at it now, it's a good thing I bailed.
