      Billie "The 10 Commandments"

      I wonder if River reads any of these .....perhaps the salty language scared her off?

      THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
      The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians, because
      it creates a hostile work environment!

            Where I had worked there was a custodian , an ex Navy man who was called "SALTY" for short. Salty did amuse us with tales from his Navy shore leave days.

              The Irish Golfer!

              Irish golfer

              A golfer playing in Ireland hooked his
              drive into the woods. Looking for his ball,
              he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back,
              a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball
              beside him.

              Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from
              the cart and poured it over the little guy,
              reviving him.

              'Arrgh! What happened?' the Leprechaun asked.

              'I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball,' the golfer says.

              'Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square.
              Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?'

              'Thank God, you're all right !' the golfer
              answers in relief. 'I don't want anything,
              I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize.'

              And the golfer walks off.

              'What a nice guy,' the Leprechaun says to himself.

              I have to do something for him. I'll give him
              the three things I would want…a great golf game,
              all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life.'

              A year goes by and the golfer is back.
              On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into
              the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.

              'Twas me that made ye hit the ball here,
              ' the little guy says. 'I just want to ask ye,
              how's yer golf game?'

              'My game is fantastic!' the golfer answers.
              I'm an internationally famous golfer now'
              He adds, 'By the way, it's good to see you're
              all right.'
              'Oh, I'm fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer
              golf game, you know. And tell me, how's yer money
              situation?'

              'Why, it's just wonderful !' the golfer states.
              'When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket
              and pull out $100 bills I didn't even know were there!'

              'I did that fer ye also.' And tell me, how's yer sex life?'

              The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment,
              and says shyly, 'It's OK.'

              C'mon, c'mon now,' urged the Leprechaun,
              'I'm wanting to know if I did a good job.
              How many times a week?'

              Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers,
              'Once, sometimes twice a week.'

              'What ???' responds the Leprechaun in shock.
              'That's all? Only once or twice a week?'

              'Well,' says the golfer, 'I figure that's not bad for
              a Catholic priest in a small parish.'

                Semper fi ........baby!

                A US Marine recently came back from a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Having not seen his wife for several months, he was looking forward to a night of hot, passionate sex.



                Unfortunately, she came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her head and he shot her.

                  Weather Channel says the east coast earthquake was caused by an unknown fault line running under D.C. and through Virginia. It is now being called Obama's Fault, though Obama will say it's really Bush's Fault. Another theory is that it was the founding fathers rolling over in their graves, but I believe what we all thought was an earthquake was actually the effects of a 14.6 trillion dollar check bouncing in Washington."
                  It is hard to find the Truth when you start your search with a preconceived notion of what the Truth will be.

                    Michelle Bachman !

                    I know that the big guy loves fine wine, cheese and sausage...but I'll bet Michelle Bachman could "OUT EAT" even the big guy.
                    Here is proof!

                    This year, the top three candidates are likely to be Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul, and Tim Pawlenty, but yesterday, only one candidate displayed the guts to swallow the competition.

                      Not to be out done!

                      Three women, two younger, and one senior citizen, were sitting naked in a sauna.
                      Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her
                      forearm and the beep stopped.
                      The others looked at her questioningly. 'that was my pager,' she said.
                      I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.

                      A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second young woman lifted her
                      palm to her ear.
                      When she finished, she explained, 'that was my mobile phone. I have a
                      microchip in my hand.'

                      the older woman felt very low-tech. Not to be out done, she decided
                      she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of the
                      sauna and went to the bathroom.
                      She returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from her rear end.
                      The others raised their eyebrows and stared at her.
                      The older woman finally said ..... Well, will you look at that ......
                      I'm getting a fax!!

                        Soros supports snopes?

                        Posted on Saturday, August 27, 2011
                        Snopes, Soros and the Supreme Courts Kagan
                        We-l-l-l-l now, I guess the time has come to check out Snopes!
                        Ya' don't suppose it might not be a good time to take a second look at some of the stuff that got kicked in the ditch by Snopes, do ya'?
                        We've known that it was owned by a lefty couple but hadn't known it to be financed by Soros!
                        Snopes is heavily financed by George Soros; a big time supporter of Obama!
                        In our Search for the truth department, we find what I have suspected on many occasions.
                        I went to Snopes to check something about the dockets of the new Supreme Court Justice, Elena Kagan who Obama appointed and Snopes said the email was false and there were no such dockets so I Googled the Supreme Court, typed in Obama-Kagan, and guess what?
                        Yep you got it; Snopes Lied!
                        Everyone of those dockets are there.
                        So Here is what I wrote to Snopes:
                        Referencing the article about Elena Kagan and Barak Obama dockets:
                        The information you have posted stating that there were no such cases as claimed and the examples you gave are blatantly false.
                        I went directly to the Supreme Courts website, typed in Obama Kagan and immediately came up with all of the dockets that the article made reference to.
                        I have long suspected that you really slant things but this was really shocking.
                        Thank You, I hope you will be much more truthful in the future, but I doubt it.
                        That being said, Ill bet you didn't know this.
                        Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship.
                        Now she may help rule on them.
                        Folks, this is really ugly.
                        Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on.
                        Once again the US Senate sold us out!
                        Now we know why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.
                        Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama.
                        She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship.
                        He owed her big time.
                        All of the requests were denied of course.
                        They were never heard.
                        It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it?
                        Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket:
                        You can look up some of these hearings and guess what?
                        Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!
                        Check out these examples:
                        Supreme Court of the United States, Supreme Court, Supreme Court of US, Supremecourt, United State Supreme Court, US Supreme Court, U.S. Supreme Court, Search, Document

                        Supreme Court of the United States, Supreme Court, Supreme Court of US, Supremecourt, United State Supreme Court, US Supreme Court, U.S. Supreme Court, Search, Document

                        Supreme Court of the United States, Supreme Court, Supreme Court of US, Supremecourt, United State Supreme Court, US Supreme Court, U.S. Supreme Court, Search, Document

                        If you are not interested in justice or in truth, simply delete.
                        However, if you hold sacred the freedoms granted to you by the U.S. Constitution; by all means, PASS it ON!
                        There truly is tyranny afoot.

                          This is indeed ugly, but not in the way Pete hopes. For this is obviously a matter of hope and perhaps prayer, while keeping ones eyes closed, ears stopped up and generally ignoring truth and reason.

                          The "Soros connection" gives the game away. The post mentions it, states it, gives no support for it, and considers its case made. According to Snopes, they are unsupported. Absent any proof or even the vaguest support to the contrary, that is the last word.

                          Then what about "docket gate"? After the Snopes research, WorldNetDaily had to retract the article that started this. It was "replaced" by a completely unrelated article (well, it also mentioned Obama and Kagan), with the following preface:

                          Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described a series of cases for which Elena Kagan represented the government as eligibility cases. Those cases, in fact, were a series of unrelated disputes pending before the Supreme Court and the references have been removed from this report.
                          See the WorldNetDaily page. The suggestion here is that just those references were removed, while according to Snopes the whole article was replaced, which is not unlikely, as the previous "version" of the article was about those cases.

                          Of course a direct contradiction by the original source won't make messengers like Pete stop doing their brainless work.

                          For those interested in the whole story, there is, indeed, Snopes:

                          Snopes on the message reposted by Pete (and messages like it)

                          Snopes on the original WorldNetDaily article.

                          Regards,

                          Karel

                            Snopes

                            Snopes is great for determing Urban Legends and so forth , BUT they are definitely liberal on any politcal commenting. All one has to do is go to the SNOPES site and Type in George Bush and then Barack Obama .......the contrast in reporting is evident .........hardly any negative stories for Obama , but tons for Bush!

                                Pete, anyone who wants to believe you on your word does so against strong evidence of your total unreliability, if not willful malice, in cases like this. You could be right, but then make a case first. Snopes does not deal in propaganda, but in debunking hoaxes and rumors. But nobody should be given absolute trust, so point out where they go wrong. To help you: this is currently on their George W. Bush page.

                                True: "Make the Pie Higher!" poem is composed of actual quotes from George W. Bush.

                                False: George W. Bush took a half hour off from glad-handing supporters at a 'thank you' dinner to witness for Christ to a teenage boy.*

                                False: Recent study proves George W. Bush has the lowest IQ of all presidents of the past fifty years.*

                                False: Texas governor George W. Bush "refused to sell his home" to Blacks.*

                                False: President George W. Bush proclaimed, "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."*
