"A red light at the intersection of incompetence and ambition

"Harry Reid failed today in his attempt, fueled by his re-election ambitions, to insert into a defense policy bill (1) the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" and (2) the DREAM Act that would have enabled citizenship for illegal immigrant students in exchange for government or military service.

"Gangsta Government is a project of Minnesota Majority

http://www.minnesotamajority.org/

, a non-profit government watchdog group. We believe the Obama administration, together with the 111th Congress, will go down in history as one of the most corrupt governments in our nation’s annals. The strong-armed tactics being employed to force their radical agenda upon the American people is reprehensible.  In response, we have created ‘Gangsta Governement‘, a rap video to educate Americans on the corruption that is robbing us of our liberties. Our hope is that this video will inspire people to take back our government from the secular progressive elites who want to transform America into a socialist state. Working together, we can restore the Founder’s principles of limited government and individual responsibility, preserving our precious freedoms for future generations.

We wish to acknowledge columnist Michael Barone who originally coined the phrase ‘ganster government’ in a 2009 column that was the inspiration for our video. Barone has subsequently authored several columns on this subject, including his most recent entitled Gangster Government Stifles Criticism of Obamacare.

We also wish to thank “The Infidel” for his outstanding performance in our music video. His courage in taking a stand for the truth in truly admirable. "

A Jack Daniels Fishing Story

A Jack Daniels Fishing Story

I went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait.

Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.  So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same snake with two more frogs in his mouth.

Life is good here in the South.
