The Disappointed Bride
on Saturday, August 29, 2009
A woman, married three times, walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.
"Of course, madam," replied the sales clerk, "exactly what type and
color are you looking for?"
The bride to be said: "A long frilly white dress with a veil."
The sales clerk hesitated a bit, then said, "Please don't take this
the wrong way, but gowns of that nature are considered more
appropriate for brides who are being married the first time - for
those who are a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean?
Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?"
"Well," replied the customer, a little peeved at the clerk's directness,
"I can assure you that a white gown would be quite appropriate.
Believe it or not, despite all my marriages, I remain as innocent as
a first time bride. You see, my first husband was so excited about
our wedding, he died as we were checking into our hotel.
My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo
on our way to our honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled
immediately and never spoke to each other again."
"What about your third husband?" asked the sales clerk.
"That one was a Democrat," said the woman, "and every night for
four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me
how good it was going to be, but nothing ever happened ...."

Decaf is the Enemy

A Communist plot?
Lenin explaining his plan of convincing the west of the virtues of decaf.
Start your day with a pot of healthy delicious coffee!
Buy a good coffee maker. This Cuisinart DCC-1200 is the Cadillac of home brewers, and well worth the premium price.
no decafe bad bad bad no decafe bad bad bad no decafe
NEVER buy evil communist decafe coffee.
Stop several times a day for booster-cups.
Avoid Dunkin franchises without Tip Cups, such as those owned by Great American Donuts as they appear to rarely maintain franchise regulations such as dumping coffee after 18 minutes, their service tends to be sub-standard and in the early afternoon (after you've had a few quarts of coffee no-less) their restrooms tend to be "out of order".
Christian readers might find it interesting to note that those franchisees that refuse to allow a Tip Cup violate this Biblical tenet:
Matthew 20:15
Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money?
Milwaukee Mayor Steps Up
on Sunday, August 16, 2009
You won't see many stories like this in your entire lifetime.
File this under; "Unbelievable, a Democrat you say?"
From AP
"Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was hospitalized with head and hand injuries on Sunday after he tried to assist a woman crying for help and was attacked by a man with a metal pipe near the Wisconsin State Fair, police said.
Barrett was in stable condition at a local hospital and was alert and talking when he arrived there on Saturday night, Milwaukee police said.
The mayor had gone to the Wisconsin State Fair on Saturday with his children and niece. As Barrett walked to his car, he heard a woman screaming for someone to call 911, police said.
"The mayor stopped and said something like, 'Let's all cool down here, I'm going to call 911,'" the mayor's spokesman Patrick Curley said. "He said it one or two times according to him. When he took out his phone, that's when the suspect attacked him."

One Very Tough Woman

Democratic's Lose Powerhouse
Founded First Major D.C. Lobbying Firm Led by a Woman
Ms. Wexler began her unlikely rise to prominence in Democratic Party circles as a Connecticut housewife who joined the PTA and a local zoning board. By 1978, she had carved out an important role in the Carter White House and used her skills at compromise and negotiation to win support on Capitol Hill for the administration's legislative programs.
In 1981, she founded Wexler & Associates with two other two other Carter White House veterans, Gail L. Harrison and Robert Schule.
A tip of the hat to a tough feisty woman.

Smok ing er Kills!

And you thought smoking was dangerous!
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A restaurant owner in southwest Turkey was shot dead after he tried to prevent his customers from smoking to comply with a new law on the use of tobacco indoors, Hurriyet daily said on Thursday.
A fight broke out after Hidir Karayigit, 46, ordered a group of customers to extinguish their cigarettes when they began smoking at his "meyhane," a traditional restaurant that serves alcohol, in the town of Saruhanli, Hurriyet said.
One of the customers shot Karayigit four times after he took away the group's cigarettes, said witness Hamza Havutcu, Karayigit's business partner who was also shot and wounded.
Turkey's government on July 19 introduced a nationwide ban on indoor smoking, including bars and restaurants, despite the fact that half of Turks aged between the ages of 15 and 49 smoke; one of the highest rates in the world.
"I'm deeply saddened that the first smoking-ban murder occurred in our town," Saruhanli Mayor Veli Yalcin told Hurriyet. "They either shouldn't have outlawed smoking or they should have outlawed alcohol along with smoking."
