Does this make sense to you???
In order to be a good liberal....
1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.
15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.
17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.
19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
20. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese Government is somehow in the best interest to the United States .
21. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.
22. You have to believe that it's okay to give Federal workers the day off on Christmas Day but it's not okay to say "Merry Christmas."

My Dell Inspiron 5150
I've had it 3 years. It broke down last spring.
I called Dell because I got a letter stating that my warranty would run out in 30 days.
We went over the basics via online chat and as it turns out, they were going to fix the motherboard.
They sent me a box via DHL and I packed it up and sent it to them. I sent it on Monday the 3rd.
I received it back today, the 7th.
How about that? A 4 year old laptop under warranty, fixed and returned in less than 5 days.
Good job, Dell. Thanks for the great service!
Ciao.

So we've been...
...telling Paige the importance of telling the truth. Its important to tell things honestly. Well, she's been better lately.
Today, she didn't get a blue star, because she lied to the teacher.
Here's the story: apparently, Paige was snacking with her friend Elizabeth, who didn't bring a snack to school. The reason Elizabeth didn't have a snack is unclear.
At any rate, Paige shared her snacks with Ms. Elizabeth. Apparently, this is taboo.
What?! You can't share your snacks at school? Are you kidding me?
Gone are the days when you could barter for grub in the cafeteria? You gotta be joking me. Bottom line, you can't share your snacks at Freeman's Mill Elementary. I was told the reason.......by my 5 year old.
You can't share because somebody might be allergic to what you're eating.
OK. point taken. I have never heard of anyone being allergic to Cheez-Its. But, wait! Cheeze is a DAIRY product. Can anyone tell me how much lactose is in a Cheez-It?
Maybe, its the peanut butter. In all my years of school, I never heard of anyone being allergic to peanuts. Never. Bee stings, but not peanut butter.
So, back to the predicament. Paige wants to share with her friend that has no snack. So she does. Against the rules. (Are we teaching our kids that its OK to share only under certain circumstances?) Paige gets caught sharing her snack. (Does that sound really contrary? caught sharing her snack...sounds like she's feeding animals at the zoo, illegally).
After she gets caught sharing her snack with Elizabeth, she denies doing so. Bad move at the age of 5. Later, she admitted to sharing her snacks, but only after not telling the truth.
Tell me, is this Catch-22? Is it not courteous to share your snacks? But in Kindergarten, you're not allowed. How's a 5 year old supposed to figure that out?
This is what Paige learned today (IMHO): Its OK to share with people as long as its not food at school because the person you're sharing with may be a liability. Hmmm...does that logic apply in other places? Well, since everyone made such a big deal out of the School thing, it must be true.
WHAT? You better believe we talked about the whole matter.
With each passing day, I realize just what a huge cluster-fornication we're in. I used to think that people were just crazy. Now I know that most of them have been programmed the way they are.
Chilling. Really scary shtuff.

I gotta tell ya this...
As you may (or not) know, both of the knives are assisted opening, using Ken Onion's Speed-Safe technology.
Well, the speed-safe broke on my Blackout a couple months ago. I sent it to them on August 28 (last Tuesday) to be repaired.
I got it back today. But, not the one I had used for years. They totally replaced my knife. BRAND NEW!
So, lemme recap...I sent them my knife hoping for a warranty repair; they send me a replacement (for nothing); all in 9 total days.
Unbelievable! Can you say superior customer service? Huge KUDOS!
Good job Kershaw!!! Thanks for setting the standard!
All the best,
Rick Hall
Lawrenceville. GA
P.s. I forgot to tell ya I bought a Ken Onion (Kershaw) Blur on the 28th, right after I left the post office. Its got the Tanto/serrated blade and is sharp as a razor.
Cheers!

From the "You gotta be kidding me" department...
There was a study in Munich on speed dating and the Scientists (?) concluded that men/males prefer attractive females!!! Wow! The study also concluded that women are more choosy when it comes to a mate. There should be some sort of prize for their efforts. This is breakthrough science. Quite a tragedy for those guys dating ugly chics. Sorry, Ladies, some of you had a chance before this study.

Just got back from Helen, GA
Wow, that was too easy. We left around noon and got back just after 7pm. We were supposed to go up yesterday, but nobody felt right, so we bagged it and went today.
We went on a horse and carriage ride and Paige got to feed the horse some carrots....
We went to the bear exhibit and fed some bears...
We had ice cream and funnel cake and a couple Stella Atois. Nice day with the girls. Ya shoulda seen the freaks!
Later!

Got your resume?
Interesting, to say the least. Hopefully you can read the sign. I think Omie is setting up an interview with these folks........ :)
This is us at the Braves Game!
The seats were a bit nosebleed, but still had a good view. When we got there, our seats were in the sunshine, but after about 20 minutes, we were in the shade. It was incredibly hot, but with a slight breeze and shade, it was very tolerable.
We got to see a great game with a couple of home runs and some stellar pitching from Smoltzie.

This Pyle is no Gomer
Wow, ya gotta check this out. The Pyle
CD/MP3/Bluetooth/USB/SD player: PLCD70MUBT
It is packed with features:
The USB and SD inputs are awesome. There's nothing like removing commercials from your daily commute and listening to your own playlists. Couple that with Sirius and you'll never have to hear a shouting car sale ad again!
The best feature is the Bluetooth. I've tested it and it's very reliable. The only issue I've noticed is that my phone and the stereo don't pair up immediately. It is what it is, though. Since the stereo unit is not powered on all the time it takes a minute to sync up. On a side note, make sure you turn off your bluetooth headset while in the car. If its on, the radio will not automatically pick up on your phone.
Its totally awesome to be listening to your favorite song and have the speakers in your car start ringing when you get a call. When that happens, simply press the "Talk" button on the Stereo unit and "Voila!", you're on the phone. When you end the call, your music fires up where you left off. Sweet!
Ciao for now...........
P.S. RixRadio is still under construction........

Our Weekend...
...was a bit of a blur. We ate some great steak off the grill on friday nite. Saturday I was in Newnan before 8am. Worked until mid afternoon. The Girls got to go to Mikayla's house and go swimming, and I took a nap. I went to Nicks house to watch the Bristol race which was pretty good since they resurfaced the track.
Sunday we made some breakfast and then I got Paige's new PC setup. She's so excited. I got a used IBM PC and set it up for her. Spent some time in the attic, but got it up and running.
If you haven't heard about it the Magic Jack is new and hot technology. A USB adapter that you can plug any regular phone into!!! Not all area codes are available, but are on the way.
Catch ya later!
