			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was over at <a href="http://www.fark.com"target=_blank>fark.com</a> the other day reading comments on a post about the killing of &#8220;Abu Alzarkowi-terrorist thingee&#8221;.  Although most everyone agrees the death of this scumbag was a good thing, the thread quickly dissolved into a partisan &#8220;Shoot-Out&#8221; between the &#8220;neocons &#038; libs&#8221; (far left -vs- far right).</p>
<p>I have come to realize that the &#8220;Libs&#8221; hate President Bush with the same kind of passion if not worse than the &#8220;Neocons&#8221; hated Clinton during his tenure.  One can just feel the pure, unadulterated, vile hate and resentment &#8220;oozing&#8221; from their posts.  Of course the &#8220;neocons&#8221; get a chuckle out of this and are always posting one liners mocking the attitude that everything is &#8220;Bush&#8217;s fault&#8221; or &#8220;Blame Bush&#8221;.  </p>
<p>Someone then posted this wonderful pun that had me chuckling incessantly because it&#8217;s so true&#8230; the mainstream media is packed full of &#8220;Libs&#8221; and he can do nothing right in their eyes&#8230;</p>
<p><font COLOR="yellow"><br />
Bush and the Pope are fishing in the middle of a lake.</p>
<p>The Pope loses his hat.</p>
<p>Bush gets out of the boat, walks on the water to grab the hat and return it to the Pope.</p>
<p>The headline the next day reads &#8220;BUSH CAN&#8217;T SWIM!&#8221;</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mshepherd.com/images/redneckswim.jpg" alt="Redneck Swimming Pool" align="right"/>This email just in from Phyllis&#8230;</p>
<p>You&#8217;re An EXTREME Redneck When&#8230;.. </p>
<p> 1. You let your 14-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids.</p>
<p>2. The Blue Book value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas is in it.</p>
<p>3. You&#8217;ve been married three times and still have the same in-laws. </p>
<p>4. You think a woman who is &#8220;out of your league&#8221; bowls on a different night.</p>
<p>5. You wonder how service stations keep their rest-rooms so clean.</p>
<p>6. Someone in your family died right after saying, &#8220;Hey, guys, watch this.&#8221;</p>
<p>7. You think Dom Perignon is a Mafia leader.</p>
<p>8. Your wife&#8217;s hairdo was once ruined by a ceiling fan.</p>
<p>9. Your junior prom offered day care.</p>
<p>10. You think the last words of the &#8220;Star-Spangled Banner&#8221; are &#8220;Gentlemen, start your engines.&#8221;</p>
<p>11. You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels.</p>
<p>12. The Halloween Pumpkin on your porch has more teeth than your spouse.</p>
<p>13. You have to go outside to get something from the fridge.</p>
<p>14. One of your kids was born on a pool table.</p>
<p>15. You need one more hole punched in your card to get a freebie at the House of Tattoos.</p>
<p>16. You can&#8217;t get married to your sweetheart because there&#8217;s a law against it.</p>
<p>17. You think loading the dishwasher means getting your wife drunk. </p>
<p>And Finally:</p>
<p>An East Tennessee couple, both real-live rednecks, had 9 children.  They went  to the doctor to see about getting the husband &#8220;fixed&#8221;. The doctor asked them why, after nine children would they choose to do this.<br />
The husband replied that they had read in a recent article that one out of every ten children being born in North America was Mexican and they didn&#8217;t want a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a funny our Neighbor Jennifer sent to us.  Certainly good for a quick chuckle.</p>
<p>A letter delivered back to the Farm&#8230;.</p>
<p>Dear Ma and Pa, </p>
<p>I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.</p>
<p>I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. but I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing.</p>
<p>Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there&#8217;s warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you til noon when you get fed again. It&#8217;s no wonder these city boys can&#8217;t walk much. </p>
<p>We go on &#8220;route marches,&#8221; which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it&#8217;s not my place to tell him different. A &#8220;route march&#8221; is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks. </p>
<p>The country is nice but awful flat The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don&#8217;t bother you none. </p>
<p>This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing&#8230; I keep getting medals for shooting. I don&#8217;t know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don&#8217;t move, and it ain&#8217;t shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don&#8217;t even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes. </p>
<p>Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain&#8217;t like fighting with that ole bull at home. I&#8217;m about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I&#8217;m only 5&#8242;6&#8243; and 130 pounds and he&#8217;s 6&#8242;8&#8243; and near 300 pounds dry. </p>
<p>Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in. </p>
<p>Your loving daughter,<br />
Carol</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are there any &#8220;Children of the 80&#8217;s&#8221; out there like me?  I feel privileged to have been a teenager during the 80&#8217;s as music went through quite an evolution during that decade.  Like your average adolescent, I was tuned in constantly.  When <a href="http://www.xerraire.com" target=_blank>Barb</a> sent me this quiz for song lyrics of the 80&#8217;s I was thinking&#8230; &#8220;Piece of Cake&#8221; so I hurried over to test my &#8220;Skillz&#8221; and got fed a slice of humble pie!</p>
<p>I scored a 52 and in my defense, the quiz is a &#8220;stickler&#8221; on spelling &#038; singular -vs- plural.  Scoring of the quiz also involves giving you the correct answers.  Some I were angry over because I had the answer yet didn&#8217;t get the points because of some nonsense.  Others, I was kicking myself over because once I saw the answer I couldn&#8217;t believe I didn&#8217;t think of it.  The rest I never heard of.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s.html" target=_blank>Try it out</a>, let&#8217;s see if you can do better!</p>
