Saddam, Death, and those that just don't "get it"

Ding Dong, the wicked witch asshole is dead.

Saddam Hussein attained room temperature at 0600 local Iraqi time by having his neck stretched by a short rope and a long drop...far too easy an end for such a brutal man, but at least a definative end.

I, for one, celebrate the removal of a piece of pond scum that masqueraded as a man, but the apologists and moral equivilests are already hard at work trying to turn it around to make it seem as if those of us that opposed the Islamofacist trash that was Saddam Hussein are the perpetrators of evil.

Mr. Hanania, I find that in some ways you are even MORE reprehensible than Saddam. At least HE was an honestly evil man, but YOU are much more insidious, and in that respect, even more dangerous.

Rope, Tree, Islamofacist Facilitator....some assembly required.

T housands of years ago,
R evealed by prophets of the past,
U nder the dark and starry night,
E mmanuel was born at last.

C overed in His swaddling clothes,
H onor was given to the newborn King,
R epresenting peace and goodwill to all men,
I t’s because of Him that the angels did sing.
S ent by King Herod to find Him,
T hree wise men were led by a star,
M yrrh, gold and frankincense were given,
A s gifts from the men from afar.
S tanding in awe at the manger,

M agi worshipped and gave praise joyfully,
E ventually this child would grow older,
A nd give His life for you and for me.
N ow as we set apart a special day of the year,
I n remembrance for all who believe,
N ever forget why our Father did send Him,
G od’s gift is the greatest we’ll ever receive.

Nip & Tuck

After her sixth child, Jane decided that she should have some Cosmetic
surgery "down below" to restore herself to her former youthful glory,
because her bomb doors were dangling a bit too low and looked like a ripped
out fireplace.

Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned that, with six
children now being the limit, she'd tidy things with a nip here and a tuck
there so it looked more like a piggy bank slot rather than a badly packed
kebab.

Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three roses
at the end of the bed.

"Who are these from?" she asked the nurse, "They're very nice but I'm a bit
confused as to why I've received them."

"Well" said the nurse; "The first is from the surgeon - the operation went
so well and you were such a model patient that he wanted to say thanks".

"The second is from your husband - he's delighted the operation was such a
success that he can't wait to get you home. Apparently it'll be the
first time he's touched the sides for years and he's very excited!"

"Brilliant!" said Jane. "And the third?"

"That's from Eric, a patient in the burns unit," said the nurse. "He just
wanted to say thanks for his new ears."

Just For Fun

I'm a Lotus Elise!

You believe in maximum performance and minimum baggage. You like to travel light and fast, hit the corners hard, and dance like there's no tomorrow.

"Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

-*- Yeah, I know that these tests are just for fun, but they sure pegged me on this one!

Bad News,Worse News...

Doctor: I have some bad news and some very bad news.

Patient: Well, you might as well give me the bad news first.

Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours
to live.

Patient: 24 hours! That's terrible! What could be worse? What's the very
bad news?

Doctor: I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.

Military History:

Why English Officers Wore Red Coats

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war.

During one battle, the French captured an English
colonel. They took him to their headquarters,
and the French general began to question him.

Finally, as an afterthought, the French general
asked,
"Why do you English officers all wear red coats?

Don't you know the red material makes you easier
targets for us to shoot at?"

In his bland English way, the officer informed the
general that the reason English officers wear red
coats is so that if they are shot, the blood won't
show, and the men they are leading won't panic.

And that is why, from that day to this, all French
Army officers wear brown pants.

An Irish Outlook

An Irishman named O'Malley went to his doctor after a long illness. The doctor sighed and looked O'Malley in the eye and said, "I've some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. You'd best put your affairs in order."

O'Malley was shocked but being a solid character, he managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room, where his son was waiting.

"Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go well. In this case, things aren't so well. I have cancer. Let's head to the pub and have a few pints."

After 3 or 4 pints the two were feeling a little less somber..
There were some laughs and some more beers. They were eventually
approached by some of O'Malley's friends, who were curious as to
what the two were celebrating.

O'Malley told them they were drinking to his impending end. He
told his friends, "I have been diagnosed with AIDS."

The friends gave O'Malley their condolences, and they had a
couple more beers. After the friends left, O'Malley's son leaned
over and whispered his confusion.

"Dad, I thought you told me that you were dying of cancer, and
you just told your friends that you were dying of AIDS!"
O'Malley said, "I don't want any of them sleeping with your
Mother after I am gone."


YOU GOTTA LOVE THE IRISH!!

Classic Humor

I've always thought Foster Brooks was a really funny comic. I just HAD to repost this link I found at GuyK's site. As one of Guy's commenters noted; Mr. Brooks was fortunate to have worked in a period where the ACLU and P.C. groups such as M.A.D.D. weren't so prevalent and eager to sue anyone that found humor in their pet peeve of an issue.

And here's another example:

Lets all say Thanks....

Catfish sent me a heads-up on something that Xerox is doing for our troops, lets ALL take a moment and say "thank You" to someone that is walking the walk instead of just talking the talk.

R.I.P. U.S.A.

It's the final beginning of the end; John Bolton has tendered his resignation as the U.S. Ambassador to the U(seless) N(ations).

If we had had any chance to stop the headlong rush to internationalization; it's lost now. John Bolton was the type of man that always looked out for our national interest despite the pressures to "go along to get along". This is just the first consequence of electing a majority of far Leftists into the majority of both houses, and it won't be the last. I do fear however, that it may be one of the most consequential in regards to our national well being.

The U.N. is an organization that has proved time and again to be inimical to the interests of most of the civilized Nations of the world in general, and against the U.S.A. in particular. It has become the covert hammer used by tyrants and thugs to intimidate the Nations of the world into becoming their willing victims, lest they be visited with overt violence. We need men and women not afraid to stand up against this type of bullying, and John Bolton was just such a man.

Appeasement has never worked and WILL never work. We are in 1938 all over again, and now, just as then, all too few see the writing written large on the wall; they choose to ignore the clear warnings that the enemies of civilization are sounding in a claxon call of Jihadism and bloodshed throughout the world.

If we allow the leftist contingent to dictate the type of Ambassador we replace John Bolton with, we may just as well climb into the box and shut the lid on the greatest Republic the world has ever seen.

Islam - "R o P"

Ah, yes, Islam is such a PEACEFUL religion, after all, its adherants have something like THIS occur in their midst and not ONE of them will protest it happening, after all, that would be violent, wouldn't it?

Such evil crimes as teaching female children to read and write SHOULD be punished in as horrible a way as possible, otherwise, they just might get the idea that they are the equal of men, after all.

The only way I can respond to our own Islamic apologists is: it's as adult as their idiocies deserve.

Just For Grins

It's hard to find jokes without foul words in them these days, but Catfish sent me this one:

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree
begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son
of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The birch says he cannot tell.

Just then a woodpecker, lands on the sapling.

The birch says, "woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell

if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is

neither son of a beech nor son of a birch. "It is however, the best

piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in"
