It's funny cuz it's true

Found this on Chris Byrne's blog.

Folks don’t understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in America. Well, there’s a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn’t know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical.

Our OIL is located in: Alaska, California, Oklahoma, and Texas

Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington DC

Where Are The Horror Stories?

I saw this in the Letter To The Editor section of the Star Tribune a few days ago and I had to comment on it. Here is the letter word for word

So what's happening in Vermont? Massachusetts? From the lack of news, I assume that the sky has not fallen in those states that recognize same-sex unions.

Last month Connecticut's Republican governor signed a law granting civil unions to same-sex couples in that state, but there was little press devoted to that story. How about some well-researched stories on the state of same-sex unions in Massachusetts and Vermont, assuming those states have not succumbed to financial or moral ruin? Has the institution of marriage been destroyed in those states?

And while you're at it, has Canada's institution of marriage fallen into some godless abyss?

The electorate will never be truly informed by the rantings of one-issue politicians and zealous ideologues. Help us out here.

I'm sure this guy is one of those people who were expecting shoot outs on Main Street when the Concealed Carry law passed a few years back. (BTW. the law was over turned, rewritten, 3 of the guys who voted against it the first time voted for it this time, and as far as I know, it passed. Take that Gun Fearing Weenies.)

On a related note, that day's paper also had a story about a constitutional amendment in Nebraska. In the 2000 elections, the people of Nebraska voted on an amendment to their state constitution banning gay marriage. Now federal judges have struck down the amendment. They are going against the will of the people here! You know when Pat Robertson and James Dobson talk about judicial tyranny? This is what they are talking about!

Options Please

A couple of nights ago, President Bush made a speach during Prime Time. Stuff like this bores me to tears and so I usualy avoid them like the plauge, and this time was no exception. Besides. it pre-empted Smackdown. Yes I watch Pro Wrestling from time to time. Stop laughing.

Anyways I didn't watch the speach. I figured if anything important was said, I would hear about it on the news, in the paper, or from a firend. Sure enought I did. While I was getting ready for work the next morning I had the news on. After they talked about the speach, they talked to a Dmocrate (I forget who. Sorry) who basicly said that Bush was stupid for wanting to change Social Security.

I'll admit, I don't know much about either side of the debate, but I do know this. All I have heard from the Dems is complaining. I'm not saying all Democrates are complaining about it, its just that the ones they interview for the new always seem to be complaining. How about this guys. Maybe offer us some alternatives. I might accualy listen then. If all your going to do is complain, then sotp wasting air time.
