There are times when things come to you that are just too good to ignore. When my friend sent this to me I couldn’t help but laugh. Most of my friends know of my conservative political leanings so I don’t need to apologize to them. Some may lean to the liberal side and we still find common ground upon which to have friendships; to those folks I can only say “Laugh out loud and get over it!”
My friend is a car salesman and gets funny stuff sent to him on a regular business. Generally I laugh at the funny ones and put them into a file and forget them. Sometimes I pass them on to folks on my email distribution list. I can’t count how many have piled up that have a political connection that makes us conservatives feel good which I never shared.
Check in periodically to see Humor by Johnson, posts from a compilation of email humor worth sharing.

I suspect that failing to adopt a budget is not unprecedented otherwise the Republicans would be making a big deal of it. But from a common sense perspective I (and I hope you) am disappointed that when they had a chance to write and adopt a budget to their liking last summer and fall they chose not to for political reasons.

I know it is not politically correct to advocate assassination of foreign heads of state, but wouldn’t that solve our problem in Libya? Rather than sending in our army to fight his army, why don’t we just send in a black ops team to pick off Gadaffi and his sons? They wouldn’t even have to be American assets. There are probably other countries capable of carrying out this mission. We might also get the wordsmiths working on the language that describes the action in more socially acceptable language.
