Spin Zone / Memorial Day
« on: May 03, 2023, 10:49:39 AM »
Memorial Day is coming up so don't be surprised if you see coins on gravestones.
"The tradition of leaving coins on the headstones of military men and women can be traced to as far back as the Roman Empire," the folklore-focused guide continues. "Soldiers would insert a coin into the mouth of a fallen soldier to ensure they could cross the ‘River Styx’ into the afterlife."
"Due to the political divide in the country over the Vietnam war, leaving a coin was seen as a more practical way to communicate that you had visited the grave than contacting the soldier's family, which could devolve into an uncomfortable argument over politics relating to the war," the MVAD (Montana Veterans Affairs Division) reports.
- Pennies: Leaving a penny signifies a person has visited the fallen veteran’s grave.
- Nickels: Leaving a nickel signifies the person who visited the fallen veteran’s grave trained with the deceased at boot camp.
- Dimes: Leaving a dime signifies the person who visited the fallen veteran’s grave completed a part of his or her service with the deceased in some capacity.
- Quarters: Leaving a quarter signifies the person who visited the fallen veteran’s grave was present when the deceased died.

An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From morning till night (and sometimes later), she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. He tried to plow a lot.
One day, when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch. Immediately, his wife began haranguing him again. Complain, nag, nag; it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet; caught her smack in the back of the head. Killed her dead on the spot. At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement; but when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement. This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the old farmer about it.
So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old farmer and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.
The old farmer said: "Well, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement."
"And what about the men?" the minister asked.
"They wanted to know if the mule was for sale."

Irish Viagra
An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice on reviving her husband's libido.
"What about trying Viagra?" asked the doctor.
"Not a chance" she replied. "He won't even take an aspirin".
"Not a problem," said the doctor. "Give him an Irish Viagra.
"What on Earth is Irish Viagra?" she asked.
"It's Viagra dissolved in his morning cup of coffee. He won't even taste it.
Let me know how it goes," he said.
She called the doctor the very next afternoon. "How did it go?" he asked.
"Oh faith, bejaysus and begorrah, doctor, it was terrible. Just horrid, I tell ya! I'm beside meself!"
"Oh, no! What in the world happened?"
"Well, I did the deed, Doctor, just as you advised. I put the Viagra in his morning coffee, and he drank it.
Well, you know, it took effect almost immediately, and he jumped straight up out of his chair with a smile on his face, a twinkle in his eye and his pants a-bulging.
Then, with one fierce swoop of his arm, he sent the cups, saucers, and everything else that was on the table flying across the room, ripped me clothes to tatters and passionately took me then and there right on top of the table.
Twas a nightmare, I tell ya, an absolute nightmare!"
“Why so terrible?" asked the doctor. "Wasn't the sex good?"
"Freakin jaysus, it was the best sex I've had in me last 25 years, but sure as I'm sittin here, doctor, I'll never be able to show me face in Starbucks again.

A Young man named Chris wanted to buy a Christmas present for his new girlfriend, Andrea. They hadn't been seeing each other for very long and she lived a considerable distance away.
He consulted with his sister and decided, after careful consideration, that a pair of good quality gloves would strike the right note, not too romantic and not too personal.
Off he went with his sister to Macy's ladies dept and they selected a dainty pair of fur lined quality leather gloves. His sister bought a pair of panties for herself at the same time.
Macy's had a free gift wrap offer but the assistant mixed up the two items, the sister got the gloves and Andrea got the panties.
Good old Chris sent off his gift wrapped present in a parcel with the following letter:
__________________________________________________
Dear Andrea,
I chose these because I've noticed that you are not wearing any when we go out in the evenings. If it had not been for my sister I would have chosen the longer ones with, but she wears shorter ones (which are easier to remove).
These are a very delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled at all.
I had her try yours on for me and she looked great in them even though they were a little bit tight on her. She also said that they rub against her ring which helps keep it clean. In fact she hasn't needed to wash it since she began wearing them.
I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt many other hands will touch them before I have a chance to see you again.
When you take them off remember to blow into them a little bit because they will be naturally a little damp from wearing.
Just imagine how many times my lips will kiss them during the coming year.
I hope you will wear them for me on our next date.
All my love
Chris.
P.S. My mom tells me that the latest style is to wear them folded down with a little bit of fur showing.

Some of Lady Thacher's quotes.  The first one is my favorite.

"I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."

Power is like being a lady.  If you have to tell people....you aren't.

If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it is because I can't swim.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

A boy went up to his father and asked him, “Dad, what is the difference between ‘potentially’ and ‘realistically’?” The father thought for a moment, then answered, “Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and then, ask your brother if he'd sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that.”
So, the boy went to his mother and asked, “Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?” The mother replied, “Of course, I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great university!”
The boy then went to his sister and asked, “Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?” The girl replied, “Oh, good heavens! I love Brad Pitt, and I would sleep with him in a heartbeat. Are you nuts?”
The boy then went to his brother and asked, “Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?” “Of course,” the brother replied. “Do you know how much a million bucks would buy?”
The boy pondered the answers for a few days and then went back to his dad. His father asked him, “Did you find out the difference between ‘potentially’ and ‘realistically’?” The boy replied, “Yes. ‘Potentially’ you and I are sitting on three million dollars, but ‘realistically’ we’re living with two hookers and a future congressman.”

Spin Zone / Re: A Going Away Gift for Liz Cheney
« on: August 18, 2022, 12:30:55 PM »
by Newt Gingrich

As Congresswoman Liz Cheney was being decisively repudiated by the voters of Wyoming (66 percent to 29 percent is a repudiation), her smug Eastern establishment certainty of moral virtue remained intact.

However, in describing her situation with the words of Abraham Lincoln, she skewed the historic record. If Lincoln had only garnered 29 percent support in his 1858 U.S. Senate race against Stephen Douglas, he would never have been president.

In fact, Lincoln won the popular vote against incumbent Douglas. However, Democrats had more seats in the state legislature (which selected Senators in those days) so they sent Douglas back to Washington. Lincoln then had the Lincoln-Douglas debates published as a book and worked methodically to win the GOP nomination for president in 1860.

Cheney is also profoundly mistaken in her claim that Lincoln ignored public opinion to follow some internal conviction against the popular will.

Lincoln was deeply careful about doing what the public wanted. He was possibly the most thoughtful of all American presidents in this regard. Lincoln warned: “In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.”

Anyone who studies Lincoln’s presidency knows he listened carefully to the American people (at least those in the North who favored maintaining the Union and ultimately supported abolishing slavery).

In an age before polling, President Lincoln routinely held open receptions at the White House.

As Tyler Putnam wrote:

‘”I call these receptions my public-opinion baths,’ answered Lincoln, ‘for I have but little time to read the papers and gather public opinion that way; and, though they may not be pleasant in all their particulars, the effect as a whole is renovating and invigorating to my perceptions of responsibility and duty.’”

Lincoln believed such encounters kept him in touch with “the great popular assemblage out of which I sprang, and to which at the end of two years I must return.”

When Lincoln called for government of the people, by the people, and for the people, he meant everyday folks – not just Ivy League elites.

The government of the people in Wyoming means representing a deeply pro-Donald Trump position. After all, President Trump got 69.94 percent of the vote in Wyoming in 2020.

When Cheney decided her mission in life was destroying President Trump, she was in effect repudiating the people of Wyoming – the people she was supposed to be representing. She had joined the government for the elite – the government for the establishment system – and rejected Lincoln’s formula of government by and for the people.

This was perhaps made most clear in her arrogant closing statement of the Jan. 6 Committee:

“In our country, we don’t swear an oath to an individual, or a political party. We take our oath to defend the United States Constitution. And that oath must mean something. Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

In her concession speech, Cheney continued her anti-Trump fervor which had marked the Jan. 6 Committee as a show trial. Essentially, she was vice chair of a fake committee colluding with the fake news media to produce fake information.

Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland would be well served to consider the Wyoming repudiation of the Jan. 6 Committee’s vice chair – and the number of successful candidates who were supported by President Trump this primary cycle.

It is likely that only two of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump will survive. An 80 percent defeat rate is historic and unlike anything we have seen in American history. (At the peak of his popularity in 1938, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt failed almost totally in his effort to purge conservatives from his party).

Garland’s Justice Department – having lied to federal judges, harassed Trump supporters, and now sent 30 FBI agents into the former President’s private home – is clearly trying to find grounds to indict President Trump and try him in Washington D.C. (where he got only 5.6 percent of the vote).

President Lincoln’s warning for Garland is simple. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people cannot be repudiated by rigged investigations, hand-picked judges, or stacked juries.

Every step by a tainted FBI and Justice Department against President Trump simply makes it more likely that he will be the Republican nominee. Every effort to block him with legality when he cannot be defeated in the public arena will be a disaster for the country and an assault on Lincoln’s vision of government by the people.

Big Government Socialists may be able to beat President Trump in a general election. That would be legitimate and ultimately accepted by the American people if they thought it was an honest campaign and an honest count.

Trying to block President Trump from competing will enrage at least half the country and increase contempt for the entire bureaucracy – and the larger Washington establishment that thinks it can govern over the people rather than with the people’s consent.

As Lincoln warned “public sentiment is everything.” It is that public sentiment which repudiated Cheney in Wyoming. It is that public sentiment which will repudiate any effort to legally rig the game so Trump can’t run.

Garland is in real risk of becoming the attorney general who broke the public’s belief in an impartial American justice system. That would be a disaster on an historic scale.

Let’s stick with Lincoln and cheerfully repudiate Cheney and Garland.

At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the IRS agent was checking the books, he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said,
“I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there’s too little left to be of any use?”
“Good question ,” noted the CFO. “We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll.”
“Oh,” replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way. “What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what’s left over after setting a cast on a patient?”
“Ah, yes,” replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. “We save it and send it back to the manufacturer and every so often they will send us a free bag of plaster.”
“I see,” replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO.
“Well,” he went on, “What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?”
“Here, too, we do not waste,” answered the CFO. “What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS office, and about once a year they send us a complete prick.”

Unemployment Explined
COSTELLO:  I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.
ABBOTT: Good Subject.  Terrible Times.  It's 5.6%.
COSTELLO:  That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.
ABBOTT:  5.6% Unemployed.
COSTELLO:  Right 5.6% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 23% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that's 5.6%.
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?
ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed.  23% are out of work.
COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, Biden said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed.  You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.
COSTELLO:  What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work.  It wouldn't be fair.
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work.
Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democrat.
COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said..!
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Biden....
