So That’s Where He’s Hiding the Birth Certificate

by Ken Layne  6:12 pm April 21, 2009

Painting all the schools 'Obama Blue,' how presumptuous.
Whoa hey what is going on here, in this picture? Bet you didn’t know all the schools in America were being painted “Obama Blue.” Oh, and hooray, it’s a caption contest! Try to be funnier today. [Pete Souza/White House]

Yo listen up, here’s a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees
Is just blue like him
Inside and outside

Blue his house
With a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him
And his self
And everybody around
‘Cause he ain’t got nobody to listen…

I’m blue, da ba de, da ba die
Da ba de, da ba die
Da ba de, da ba die
Da ba de, da ba die
Da ba de, da ba die
Da ba de, da ba die
Da ba de, da ba die

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue

Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette, it’s standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

etc. etc.

He is having it chipped up and selling it to China for less money 11 trillion is not a drop in the bucket to what Obama is spending.

And every time I make out a check to Wonkette’s financial arm, SKS Enterprises, and send it in to the PO box in NYC.

Personally, I think the NRA along with the manufacturers are encouraging this as much as they can for reasons both financial and political.
I sold the 6 rifles I bought about 10 years ago to pay debts. They 3 times as expensive now but I don’t feel the loss. If I wanted to go hunting I could borrow whatever I might need and I don’t really worry about house invasions or commies.

[re=295962]Custerwolf[/re]: Actually food and drink ARE the things most used on a hunting trip, which for me was going out to a lake house near Austin and sitting on the deck looking at the deer feeder. After not seeing anything (or deciding to wait till ‘later’ in the season) I would retire inside to a spliff and watch Pee Wee’s Playhouse and then enjoy videotapes of hunting and fishing shows, DIY shows (God, I wished I had saved all those Furniture Guys shows) and MST3K, of course.
It’s called hunting instead of killing for a reason. Killing something just means work. And work is to be avoided at all costs.
