Nothing like a nice hot mug of Campbell's Tomato Soup.

The People's Republic of Wisconsin

is coming around !




WASHINGTON — Recent polls have pointed toward a victory for Republican Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin’s June 5 recall election. But here’s the clearest evidence to date that national Democratic party officials believe their side is losing: Democratic officials are playing down the potential impact.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) insisted in a television interview that a loss for the Democratic candidate in the recall, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, wouldn't have any implications for other races, such as the presidential election.

Are B Gipson and all Kansas duck hunters gay ? ? ?

Hey guys,
I felt the need to chime in here. I am a homosexual duck hunter… Yes! We do exist! I’m not much different than the rest of you guys. In fact, I benefit more from our sport, than the rest of you heterosexuals. DU banquets are an awesome place to meet rugged men. Get ‘em all boozed up and they practically beg to spend a weekend with me at my lease. Come fall, I have 4 burly men in my cabin’s hot tub, rubbin their chest hair and talkin about “huntin’ down a nice lookin woody to mount” in the morning ;). Most importantly, staying warm in the blind is easy, or as I consider it, a privilege.

I am not affiliated with any clique on this website, but i am a kansas boy. - - - The lease motto is "What goes around, comes around". :wink:

Great Father,

As I’m sure you know by now, my opponent – a white man – disputes my connection to the tribe and our native soil. As our people say, “something only lives as long as the last person who remembers it,” which is why I need your help.

We struggle now to overcome the white man’s lies, but their untruths spread like great wildfires across the plains.

Scott Brown’s family history is written in blood, while ours lives in the oral tradition of our people. Now I need official identification to prove myself. Can you help me prove that we are kin?

Howdy Hao Sister Liz,

It seems like you’re in quite the predicament! Fortunately, I think we at Cherokee Ted’s Resort and Casino can be of service.

We offer several special packages, but the one I think the one you might be interested in is the Authentic Cherokee Warrior Weekend. For $325.99 for the weekend, you and a companion will get a room, full access to the resort and casino, a special headdress, face paint and — perhaps most importantly for you — an authentic “I’m a Ted’s Cherokee Warrior” certificate and t-shirt. For an extra $25, we can upgrade you to the “chief” package, which includes priority access to the buffet reserved for the tribe’s most revered sages.

Remember, everything at Cherokee Ted’s Resort and Casino is tepee-riffic. Hope to see you here soon!

Best,

Chief Ted “Tomahawk Teddy” O’Connell

Great Father,

Thank you for you assistance — this should really help me scalp Scott Brown in November. I feel certain that my ancestors would be proud. Tell me: Is a vision quest, preferably with a medicine man, included in this package?

Sister Liz!

I’m glad the spirits have brought us together again. But to be honest, I’m not precisely sure what the fiddlesticks you’re talking about. But let me take a shot at hitting the target with my bow and arrow.

We do have a registered nurse on premise 24/7, but as much as it pains me, she unfortunately conforms to the white man’s ways. So while she isn’t a traditional “medicine man,” she can get you aspirin if you have a headache.

On another note, I do want to alert you to an awful rumor being spread by Chief Sal Napolitano of Seminole Sal’s Casino Pow Wow. He’s been telling potential customers that I’m not an authentic Indian. But just like you shouldn’t ever accept blankets from British colonists, you shouldn’t accept anything Seminole Sal spouts as fact. Believe you me: I paint with all the colors of the wind.

Hope to see you around these parts soon.

Best,

Chief Ted “Tomahawk Teddy” O’Connell

Drop the shit, Teddy — can you help me the documentation or not?

Bad news Sister Liz. As I write this, I’m drinking a stiff glass of firewater while the FBI raids my offices. As hard as it is to believe, Cherokee Ted’s Resort and Casino is crumbling to the ground.

The Feds are claiming that I am not a real Indian! Despite my protestations that my beloved mother, Colleen O’Connell, assured me that my great-great grandma, Claire O’Leary, was a full-blooded Indian and despite the fact no one can deny that I have perfect Indian cheekbones, the government isn’t buying it. In fact, they are claiming I committed a felony (or, more precisely, several felonies). It looks like I might be heading to that maximum security tepee called the federal penitentiary.

Just kidding!

Boy, it sounds like someone needs to take a few puffs of a peace pipe. Fortunately, Cherokee Ted’s offers an authentic peace pipe ceremony experience for just $150 — or free of charge if you spend 4 hours or more playing blackjack in the casino at $25 a hand.

If you reserve the ceremony now through me, I’ll even throw in an authentic-looking Cherokee Indian feather for your headdress. Who could possibly deny your Indian heritage if you wear it during debates?

All the best,

Ted “Tomahawk Teddy” O’Connel

Another victim of Obamacare !





"Due to these changes in regulation by the federal government, beginning with the 2012-13 school year, the University 1) will no longer require that all full-time undergraduate students carry health insurance, 2) will no longer offer a student health insurance plan, and 3) will no longer bill those not covered under a parent/guardian plan or personal plan for student health insurance. The current student health insurance plan will expire on August 15, 2012"

The difference between a leader and Obama !

Eisenhower's memo if D-Day failed !


Obama's style

"The timing, operational decision making and control are in Admiral McRaven's hands. The approval is provided on the risk profile presented to the President. Any additional risks are to be brought back to the President for his consideration. The direction is to go in and get bin Laden and if he is not there, to get out."


" I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority . . . even as I continued our broader effort. . . . Then, after years of painstaking work by my intelligence community I was briefed . . . I met repeatedly with my national security team . . . And finally last week I determined that I had enough intelligence to take action. . . . Today, at my direction . . ."

God we need another Ike !

Weasel in Chief

"Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told Sean Hannity tonight that the Obama Administration drafted a memo to protect the president from blame if the mission to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden would have failed. That way Obama could blame the general instead of taking the blame himself."

Great old Chevy docu-mercial


For Derby Day


If I were a strong independent woman I would be offended

Obama is trying to make the case, that without him and his government handouts you could not make it.

Julia, a life on the dole !


Celebrating greed




Berkshire profits double




It is amazing how Obama can celebrate the success of some of his friends while denigrating the success of others.

How to avoid embarrassing questions

eliminate news conferences

"President Obama has held just one full length, multi-topic, solo press conference in the last six months, effectively abolishing the most accessible venue for American citizens to observe the thinking and learn the views of their leader."

Monkey Drill !


Eating as it relates to culture






Most of you may not know, but in my circle of friends I am renowned as a “bull cook”.
One of my most famous dishes is my chicken, marinated for 24 hours in my secret sauce and then grilled to perfection over real charcoal, not briquettes.

At work, rarely a week went by that someone would not ask, “when are you doing chicken again?”
And it really is scrumptious, most folks eat a pile of it so I always make sure I have plenty marinated in 5 gallon buckets.

All of which brings me to the story at hand. I used to work with this cute little Black Lieutenant from the mid South. She was sharp as a tack, efficient, and a pretty good leader for her age and experience. She was also sweet as could be, polite (would not say shit if she had a mouthful!), an all round great person. But I wager she did not weigh a hundred pounds soaking wet.

This brings us to our “chicken cooking”. There were about 50 folks and I had probably close to ten 5 gallon buckets of chicken to grill. My buddy had a big trailer mounted grill and it would hold about two buckets of chicken at a time.

I had just finished the second run of grilling and had added lump charcoal and was waiting for it to come up to cooking temp. I took this pause to circulate through the crowd to see how everyone liked the bird.
As usual everyone loved it. When I got to the Lieutenant’s table I saw that she had a pile of chicken bones in front of her that must have been a foot and a half high!  I asked her if she had eaten all of that and she replied that she had and that she was not done yet!  That gal could eat some chicken!

If she did not eat ten pounds of chicken she did not eat a single piece!

My point is that some folks eat more from tradition than hunger, and just because someone is large or small, that has little bearing on what they can and will eat.

I often wonder if the folks she works with today still call her ”Lieutenant Chicken Bones”?
