Good stuff going on today – let’s start out with Gawfer, my squid buddy, who got off blogspot and into a sleek WordPress template on a paid server…

I’m going to group all these together, as they all have a common theme: The Invasion of the United States by Armed Members of the Mexican Army!
Old Soldier, GuyK, , and American and Proud.

GuyK just figured out his camera also does videos…

Richard has a question about the migration patterns of birds around his neck of the … lake.

Blackfive has a great lineup – they always have a great lineup – and I will correct my statement – they are decidedly pro-military and quite biased in that regard. They love the military. They support the military. Some of them are still in the military.

Write on the Right displays the inequality of the sexes.

Akinoluna has a tough entry, and some scary thoughts about her fellow Marines.

The Loon gets the lake excited about the Freedom Walk.

Greybeard has re-gained the weight he lost a year ago, and is headed back to the “eatrightandexercise” diet that was successful for him before. Matter of fact, I need to do that too. I’ve re-gained what I lost while talking to him about it…

Speaking of Greybeard, he pointed me to the newest member of my blogroll, RattlerGator. Good read, and thoughtful insight from what looks to be a great addition.

They went on a shooting expedition over at cookiecrumbexpress. Pictures!

Andrew has a thought about television.

Our Sovereign Joy has a good post about tradition.

Amboy Times has a report on the effects of socialism (*cough*obama*cough*) does to a country.

Jenn has an update on the highly awaited Nancy Pelosi book tour…

Political Pistachio had a good show last night – did ya miss it?

Kathi highlights the book “I Will Not Be Broken” on Mail Call! Don’t forget to check out her Wednesday Hero.

Fraud, Phishing, and Misdeeds has good news – the largest fraud ring in history has been broken!

Brother Johnny finished up his series on Nothing Good To Say over on Amazed In His Presence.

the BLOG talks about the roots of genius…

Steve talks about another world on A Sense of Place.

Kris is having noise issues with the restaurant next door on This Is Stoke Newington.

“I Told You So” coming from a redhead? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. See what she told us at Samantha Speaks.

Ablur wants you to sit back and let go of your stress for a minute…

BZ has a short post up while he’s more concerned with the health of his Dad. Prayers to the family, BZ.

Our second favorite cousin (his wife is TMBWitW’s most favoritest) sent this first batch:

I encourage you all to print these out and post them in a convenient spot in your homes.
AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. If you’re choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of scalding water down your throat. PRESTO! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments with the females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers ~ simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you’ll be afraid to cough.

7. You only need two tools in life – WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and it does, use the duct tape.

8. Remember – everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

9. If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.

In a related vein, SFC also sent this a while back, about a new element:

Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 – 6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

And, to close off Twisted Tuesday, please enjoy this daily thought:

Some people are like Slinkys^® – not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

As my loyal reader knows, I usually take the weekend and spend most of it with TMBWitW and our daughter, MEG, only occasionally checking e-mail and what not.

On Saturday, Texas Fred posted about Tyson Foods in Shelbyville, Tennessee, and their union’s new contract, which drops Labor Day in favor of the islamic or muslim holiday of eat al’s fart eid al-fitr, which marks the end of ramadan.

The discussion is lively, as usual, over at Fred’s. There is a rumbling of mostly “How dare they start capitulating to the muslims” and a general air of boycott is permeating the area.

My take? I think that Tyson (and the union) is setting a bad precedent – this is a nation founded on Christian ideals, and allowing an aggressive cult like islam to start dictating how the people of this nation should act is the start of a slippery slope to allowing muslims to insist that sharia law be implemented here.

As long as I have breath, that ain’t gonna happen without protest and defense of our system of law.

I think a boycott is a good idea. Add Tyson Foods overall to the list, along with Citgo (Chavez-run oil), and this list of Tyson products in particular. If you happen to know of subsidy holdings of Tyson, let’s hit them there, too.

Well, it’s otherwise a gorgeous morning (barely in the high 80’s this morning, bit of a cold-snap dontchaknow) and MEG was up early. We’ve had breakfast, and she is watching her favorite clown fish. I think I’ll cruise around the ‘net a bit and then see what she wants to do next. Maybe we’ll work on the letters again today.

Whoooo-WEEE! You might want to catch today’s show, either on the player in the margin over there, or by going to the archive of The O Word on BlogTalkRadio. Why, you ask? When Talk Shows Go Bad – Bruce Ivins, Anthrax scientist – California’s ban on Trans-fat, plastic bags, and butts on the beach – California’s governator crowned King of the Flip-Flops – stupid criminal – the ObamaNation’s campaign plane and his shame of the American Flag – flashing chipmunks? What’s not to like? What’s not to enjoy? Every Friday morning at 0700 Mountain Standard Time (’cause we don’t do daylight savings – there’s enough daylight around here…).

Has it been a week already? Wow… time flies.
