Mascots representing the Republican party (L) and the Democratic party (R) ride around on Segway personal transporters at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota September 2, 2008.
Two Minnesotans walk into a pet shop near Brainerd. They head to the bird section and Sven says to Ole, “Dat’s dem.” The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. “Yah sure, ve’ll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere.” says Sven. The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Ole and Sven pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Sven’s pick-up and drive to the top of some big cliffs near Brainerd Lake. At the cliffs, Sven looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, “Dis looks like a grand place.”
He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Ole watches as Sven falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself dead. Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Ole shakes his head and says: “By yumpin’ yiminy, dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me.”
VAIT!!! Dere’s MORE!
Moments later Knute arrives up at the cliffs. He’s been to the pet shop, too, and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other. “Hey, Ole. Vatch dis.” Knute says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff. Ole watches as half way down, Knute takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Knute continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. Ole shakes his head and says, “And I’m never trying dat parrotshooting either.”
BUT VAIT!!! Dere’s MORE , you betcha!!
Ole is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Lars appears. He’s also been to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag, out of which he pulls a chicken. Lars grasps the chicken by the legs, holds it over his head, and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine. Once more Ole shakes his head. “First der was Sven with his budgie jumping, den Knute parrotshooting ... and now Lars, hengliding ...”
It’s amazing that John McCain was so offended by a journalist actually doing her job. All Campbell Brown did was press Tucker to name one important decision Sarah Palin made as “commander-in-chief” of the Alaska National Guard. It’s not surprising that he was hard-pressed to come up with one considering the Alaska National Guard General has confirmed that she has nothing to do with national defense activities.
Another example of how out of touch with reality McSame’s choice for Vice-President is ... she thinks the Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.
From an Eagle Forum Candidate Questionnaire:
Q: Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
PALIN: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the Founding Fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.
The phrase was added in 1954. The Founding Fathers had no such Pledge.
The oil filter for my motorcycle finally arrived in the mail yesterday. That is one thing I don’t care much for about these bikes ... not having any parts or service for them locally.
I spent about an hour changing the oil. I am too old and fat to be crawling around on the driveway. Add to that the heat and humidity and I thought I was gonna die!
I met Tracey at her clinic in Pekin and we rode to Avanti’s in East Peoria for some Italian supper. A pretty good scooter ride in rush hour traffic. We took the back roads through the Farmdale dam area with lots of hills, curves, bumps and railroad tracks. I think I enjoyed the ride as much as my all-you-can-eat spaghetti supper! Tracey still has about 180 more miles on her bike than I do on mine but I am slowly catching up with her.
