DEMOC RATS UGH! A List That Explains Most Everything...

This DemocRat converted, just 20 million more
  When your friends cannot explain why they voted for Democrats, give
them this list.
     
        They can then pick their reasons from this "TOP 12"...
     
       1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4%
on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of
gas at 15% isn't.
     
       2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a
better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
     
       3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as
nobody is offended by it.
     
       4. I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun,
and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers
and thieves.
     
       5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us
if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away
in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
     
       6. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of
babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
     
       7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to
free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.
     
       8. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be
allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the
rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
     
       9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite
the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never
get their agendas past the voters.
     
       10. I voted Democrat because I think that it's better to pay
billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because
it might upset some endangered beetle or gopher.
     
       11. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most
wonderful country in the world, I was promised "HOPE AND CHANGE".
     
       12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass,
it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

Spring 2011?

Lake Ouachita park & marina

I wonder if it's Spring or not.  It seems like Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, sometimes all in one day.
I've had a chance to ride the bike to some of my favorite spots.
We're at the NCAA final 4, what will go on in Libya,  Politics as usual.
LARAMIE, Wyo. – Conservative commentator Ann Coulter shrugged off a few hecklers and took aim at liberals and President Barack Obama during her University of Wyoming speech intended to counterbalance an appearance at the school last year by a former 1960s radical.

Why I retired to Arkansas

I was born, raised, worked, married & had my children in Illinois.
I retired to Arkansas (Hot Springs Village ASAP).
At least the mob gives you something for your money.
The Illinois Tax Man does not.
The list, with Illinois leading the pack, comes from website TopRetirements.com. According to John Brady, president of TopRetirements.com, the 10 states earn this dubious distinction largely because of three factors: fiscal health, taxation, climate.
People of Illinois, California, New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Nevada — you probably already know the answer.  soure: by Robert Powell, MarketWatch  Sunday, December 19, 2010 

I like our weather (4 seasons - short winter) lakes, golf courses, rivers, woods & mountains to name but a few. (posted by a friend of H.R.'s)

Hello 2011, Bye 2010

Little cousin Steve Waters took first in the Arkansas State Senior Olympics in September.  Steve is tall, 6'3" but got to a lean 198 lbs to compete.  Steve went through physical therapy after being hospitalized a number of times for heart problems.  He stuck with his workout program and pulled off the upset.

His master trainer was Heath Tyler of Tomorrow's Fitness Center.  Poor Heath must have had a tough job, but they get even by beating the heck out of each other before workouts.  Heath may be as strong as an ox but poor Steve just isn't as smart as one (but he does bare a striking resemblance to a bull).

Just A Biker

I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
You didn't see me; put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you; pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.
You didn't see me; playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you; change your mind about going into the restaurant.
You didn't see me; attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you; roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by
You didn't see me; driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you; frown at me when I smiled at your children.You didn't see me; when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you; stare at my long hair.You didn't see me; and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you; roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.You didn't see me; and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you; look in fright at my tattoos.
You didn't see me; cry as my children were born and having their name tattooed on my skin and in my heart.

I saw you; change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
You didn't see me; going home to be with my family.

I saw you; complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
You didn't see me; when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you; yelling at your kids in the car.
You didn't see me; pat my child's hands knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you; reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.
You didn't see me; squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you; race down the road in the rain.
You didn't see me; get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you; run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
You didn't see me; trying to turn right.

I saw you; cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.
You didn't see me; leave the road.

I saw you; waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.
You didn't see me; I wasn't there.

I saw you go home to your family.
You didn't see me, because I died that day you cut me off.

To you I was just a biker, not a person with a family and friends.
You didn't see me; and now they will never see me again.

Vivian Schiller wins "Asshole of the Year" Award

(CBS/AP)  Juan Williams said comments that chief executive of National Public Radio made after his firing amount to a personal attack, and said NPR's "current crew was really getting vicious" in its antagonism towards him for appearing as an analyst on Fox News.   


She also said that whatever feelings Williams has about Muslims should be between him and "his psychiatrist or his publicist - take your pick."
