I've been thinking about who my favorite MP is and I have a few favorites, Laurie Hawn, and Rona Ambrose come to mind, but if I had to pick only one, it would be Mike Lake, Edmonton-Millwoods-Beaumont. Why?
Superficially, he is young, great looking, has a wife who is beautiful, and a young family. More importantly, with a young family it must be hard to leave to do his job in Ottawa. His son is autistic, making it even harder for him to leave every week. That shows me that he has a high level of commitment to his job and constituents. He makes tired old Iggy look, well, tired and old! Compare him to Hedy Fried, and he comes out aces in the sane department. He is a solid Conservative MP, with enough personality to make him very appealing to voters.
A lot of Reform MP's got elected in Alberta no matter what their qualifications, and are still around. Most are doing good jobs but will never be Ministerial material. Mike Lake came after the reform movement, and has huge potential. I would rate him my favorite up and coming MP.
Now I want you to tell me..."Who do you love" as your favorite MP, of any party, and why. For now I will open up my comment section, so you can champion your favorites. Please remember to keep it "family friendly". Have fun.
The Tory Boy has struck again, this time it's the long gun registry he's highlighted. Good one Tory Boy!
It's up to you, if you are represented by a Liberal or NDP MP, call them and let them know that you want more police and less gun registry. Let them know your vote will go to the Conservatives if they don't vote for scrapping the crap. I wonder what Goodale is going to do. He has to know the long gun registry is wildly unpopular with us prairie people.
What really ticks me off about this whole issue is the police organizations who want to keep it. They have become very political, and that should not be allowed. Don't the unions realize that they could get more police if the registry was scrapped? Are they so stupid that they think the registry will protect or help their front line officers? Shouldn't the police be neutral like our army, navy and air force? What can the union members do about disagreeing with the union position? Are the police chief's union members, if not, why haven't the police unions spoken out against the registry? Lefties constantly attack our troops and the police, isn't it about time that real cops speak out? We need some truth, not just the one side that the media feeds us.
Let the opposition play games, it only makes them look like fools. Scrap the crap. h/t SassyLassie
I really feel that the mosque in New York at ground zero is a slap in the face to all westerners. It is a sad statement about terrorism. The victims are forgotten in the politically correct atmosphere that doesn't allow anyone to criticize Islam without being called a bigot.
I remember the morning of September 11, I hope we all do. Unfortunately, many people seem to prefer to forget that over 3000 totally innocent people lost their lives that day, including many firefighters who were trying to save all those people. I remember the story of the blind person with his seeing eye dog who guided him out to the building. Good puppy!! There were many stories of hero's that day. Without terrorism, we wouldn't need so many heroes!
With the arrests in Canada of terror suspects, it makes me think back to that horrible day, Sept 11. Does building a mosque fundamentally change a nation? Not usually, but it might this time, as it is a slap in the face to all westerners and especially the over 3000 innocents killed on 9/11.
A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi.. You know...., I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."
The social worker behind the counter said, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes.
"Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have as part of your job assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshittin' me!"
The social worker said, "Yeah, well ... You started it." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stanley died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best friends, Cooter and Gomer. The three men had always done everything together. Cooter arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet, Cooter said, 'Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over.' The mortician rolled him over and Cooter said, 'Nope, ain't Stanley ' The mortician thought this was rather strange. So he brought Gomer in to confirm the identity of the body. Gomer looked at the body and said, 'Yup, he's pretty well burnt up.
Roll him over..' The mortician rolled him over and Gomer said, 'No, it ain't Stanley 'The mortician asked, 'How can you tell?' Gomer said, 'Well, Stanley had two assholes.' 'What? He had two assholes?' asked the mortician. 'Yup, we never seen 'em, but everybody used to say:
'There's Stanley with them two assholes.' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The squared-away Marine guard snapped to attention, saluted and said:
"Nice pigs, sir."
The President replied: "These are not pigs. These are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and I got one for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi."
The squared-away Marine again snapped to attention, salutes and said,
"Excellent trade, sir." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in the Bozeman, Montana airport, while waiting for their respective flights..
One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana StateUniversity from the Middle East.. Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.
The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face, and lights a cigarette. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, 'At one time here... my people were many... but sadly, now we are few.'
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, 'Once my people were few,' he sneers, 'and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?'
The cowboy removes his cigarette from his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl . . .
'I reckon that's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greyhounds might be the fastest dogs on the planet, but they are also the champion couch potatoes! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital. While the Tax Office agent was checking the books he turned to the CEO 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 CEO. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every now and then they send us a free box of bandages."
"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 CEO, realising that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question . "We save it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free package of plaster."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CEO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CEO. "What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the Tax Office, and about once a year they send us a complete prick." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dentist with a good sense of humour..
The other day, a gentleman went to the Dentist's office to have a tooth pulled. The Dentist pulls out a freezing needle to give him a shot.
"No way"! No needles! "I hate needles", the man said.
The Dentist starts to hook up the laughing gas and the man immediately objected.
"I can't do the gas thing either; the thought of having the gas mask on is suffocating me"!
The Dentist then asks the gentleman if he has any objection to taking a pill.
"No objection", the man said. "I'm fine with pills".
The Dentist then returns and says, "Here's a Viagra tablet".
The gentleman, totally at a loss for words, said in amazement, "WOW"! "I didn't know Viagra worked as a pain killer"!
"It doesn't", said the Dentist, "but it will give you something to hold on to when I pull your tooth" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Large Plastic Trash Bags
A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic trash bags behind her. One of the bags rips, and every once in a while a $20 bill falls out onto the sidewalk.
Noticing this, a policeman stops her, and says, "Ma'am, there are $20 bills falling out of your bag."
"Oh, really? Darn!" said the little old lady. "I'd better go back, and see if I can find them. Thanks for telling me."
"Well, now, not so fast," says the cop. "How did you get all that money? "You didn't steal it, did you?"
"Oh, no", said the little old lady. "You see, my back yard is right next to the football stadium parking lot. On game days, a lot of fans come and pee through the fence into my flower garden. So, I stand behind the fence with my hedge clippers. Each time some guy sticks his tallywacker through the fence, I say, '$20 or off it comes'.
"Well, that seems only fair" laughs the cop. "OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what's in the other bag?"
"Well, you know", "not everybody pays". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked. 'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have great weekend!
Can you see the difference? CTV mocks the PM, the laughing and giggling is really juvenile. The video is stupid and defines how immature CTV really is, but I'm sure lefties loved it. The video supplied by David Akin shows the real truth. No editing, just the raw footage. Good for David, he is a real reporter, whether he supports the PM or not, he gave an unbiased report.
CTV showed their Liberal bias with their coverage of our PM. Yes, OUR PM!!!! That has not gotten through to the medias thick heads. PM Harper really is what people want. He really is the Prime Minister of Canada! That dance just won him the north!
Funny how Jean eating a raw seal heart was showing support for our northern people, but PM Harper dancing with them wasn't. Can you see the hypocrisy of the left? Can you smell their desperation? It is stinking up our country and I'm not sure that we have enough brooms to rid ourselves of the riffraff!
CTV can mock our PM as much as they want,..... for now, but SunTV will give us a different more honest prospective. I can't wait!!
Mockery is the lowest form of intellectual pursuit. I guess CTV caters to the lefty bottom feeders and Liberal elite....or are they the same?
PM Harper scored a huge hit with our northern people, and CTV didn't like it, not one little bit. So, they had to mock it. Such babies lacking in any intellectual skills. Good for PM Harper, it has the lefties in a tizzy!
I spent all day getting my boys registered for school. Most kids had their parents with them, even though they were in grade 12. My grade twelve kid liked having me with him, but my grade nine kid didn't want me to stand in line with him until it was time to pay his fees. The point is that I was with them whether they wanted me to be or not. They know I care. They know I am interested in what they are doing, and who they are doing it with.
The men are suspected of preparing a terrorist attack targeting Canada. The ringleader allegedly attended training camps in the Pakistan and Afghanistan region.
.....
In a speech in Toronto on Aug. 9, when he would have already been briefed on the suspected Ottawa group, Minister Toews said he was increasingly concerned about the radicalization taking place in Canada.
“There are homegrown Islamists and other extremists here in Canada,” he said. “In this country, it is the right of all Canadians to hold and discuss a wide range of beliefs.
“But what we are seeing here is not about disagreement and debate. Our concern is with extremist ideologies that lead individuals to espouse or engage in violence. These individuals reject the values on which our country is based, and they must be stopped.”
Do the parents take these kids to a mosque with a radical Imam? Do they encourage them towards radical ideologies? I don't know. I do know that parents need to monitor their children, Muslim or not.
KUDOS to our police, please continue to make sure Canada is safe. Stop those terrorists before they damage our soil. Terrorists need to understand that our military and police are the best in the world, and they have proved it by keeping Canadians safe.
Seeing as nothing much is happening on the political scene, except Wayne Easter from PEI making a fool of himself again, I thought you might be interested in my new hobby..... stripping! HA!
I started with one small project, and it has expanded from there.
I forgot to get a before picture of my first attempt (above), but I have some of my next attempt.
A $10 garage sale find, that got transformed into this:
I did take some time off of from stripping to take in the new Jurassic Forest, it's worth every penny they charge, ($13 for adults, and $10 for teens) all the dinosaurs are animated and life sized.
I can't strip tomorrow because it is school registration for my boys, that's $420.00 and doesn't even include supplies. Ouch. So much for "free" schooling.
My current stripping project is my kitchen cabinets, they are beautiful oak cabinets that needed refinishing, I am hoping to get it done by Christmas, as I don't want to be stripping when my parents come for the holidays.
I am keeping the oak doors natural, and I'm thinking of painting the the rest of the cabinets a green to match my plants (You can see the samples in the picture below). On top of new hinges and handles it appears we need new appliances and a new counter top, but I hate the new fad for everything stainless steel and granite, both are so cold, and won't go well with my old fashioned oak cabinets. Any ideas would be appreciated.
You can see by the finished doors (hours of sanding with my new orbital (birthday present) and mouse sanders) that I want to get rid of the old dark manufactured cabinet look and lighten up the kitchen. I also want a gas stove with 5 burners, but that will have to wait, probably for years. Sigh!
If you don't hear from me everyday, it's because I'm out in my garage..... stripping!
Politicians have a habit of getting into office and then forgetting that it is the voters who got them the job. A great example is going on right now in Edmonton. We have a wonderful city center airport about 5 minutes from downtown, and our mayor wants to close it and put up condos. Did I mention our mayor is a real estate developer? Our international airport is 45 minutes outside of the city, because another mayor's family owned the land.
We have already voted once to keep the airport open, and now the mayor is trying to get around that vote and just close it down without our having any say about it. One of the main things that concerns me is that our Stars Air Ambulance lands there, and they would not be able to anymore. That would mean 45 minute ambulance rides from the international airport, leaving only 15 minutes of the golden hour to save someone. The people in the University area already shutdown Stars from landing anywhere near the hospital, bunch of NIMBY's!
It also shows the lack of thinking about the future that seems to impact local politicians. Edmonton is going to keep growing, and as the north develops, we will need more flights into the city. No vision, "I know best" politicians cost us taxpayers more in the long run. We needed an overpass at 34th ave. for years, but no politician wanted to spend the money on their watch, it's now being built for millions more than it would have cost 10 years ago. No vision.
Thankfully, a group has been working to get enough signatures to force another plebiscite about the airport. This time the politicians better listen to us. They think nothing of spending our money on the Indy race, but they want to shut down a profitable airport. Typical.
Even with Iggy and the Liberals tanking, the Conservatives are not getting any traction with the electorate. Why?
In my opinion, the Conservatives have forgotten to be Conservative. I understand that they had to move to the center to gain more votes, but in doing so, they have become mushy. We know the Liberals have no principals and cater to special interest groups, while the NDP cater to the far left, and the Bloc cater to only Quebec socialists, but what about the Conservatives? Sure they are attractive to the right because they are the only party that we can vote for, but unless they come out with a strong Conservative plan next election, I don't see them getting a majority.
They are so scared of losing power that they are pleasing no-one. My own MP is so scared of doing anything wrong, hoping to get a Minister's position that my blog is a threat! HA! Now that they have the power, they are forgetting what got them there. Conservatives.
I want to see some action on crime, the gun registry, and the wheat board, for starters. Most important, I want to see the human rights commissions put out to pasture. I want this for Alberta as well as the federal HRC. The Conservatives have no balls on this matter, they were really happy when Liberal MP Keith Martin brought forward a bill against the HRC, so they wouldn't have to, how cowardly.
Refugees are another issue they need to address. If 70% of the people claiming refugee status return "home", they should not be allowed back into Canada. Period. Full Stop!
I feel that the Conservative party is relying too much on PM Harper's performance and has forgotten that it is us "peons" who make the party what it is, and we need more Conservative initiatives or we might just stay home on election night.
The last election campaign was pathetic, it left me wondering why I should vote Conservative, it had no substance, no goals, no definable direction. Wonder why the Conservatives seem to have no traction? They are becoming liberal lite. They need a good smack so they wake up and understand what Conservative really means.
Usually Catholics vote Liberal, I'm not sure why, but they do. Has that trend changed? I think it has. Door knocking last election, it was clear that the Chinese vote was shifting to the Conservatives, now I think the Catholic vote is also going towards Harper.
Take my Liberal parents for example. They think Trudeau walked on water. So, imagine my surprise when they wanted a plaque from PM Harper to commemorate their 60th wedding anniversary. My Mom didn't want one from the Pope, she doesn't like him (I agree), she didn't want one from Gordon Campbell, but she agreed to one from PM Harper.
My Dad actually said that Dion was better than Iggy. He was a Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus, so he takes religion seriously. What finally got through to my parents was Iggy calling for abortions to third world nations. They were totally disgusted with his stance. Obviously the attempt by the Liberals to paint PM Harper as anti-abortion has failed badly with Catholics.
I have never seen my parents change so quickly. I usually get a good fight out of my Dad on anything Conservative, but this time I couldn't get him to argue with me. It made for family harmony, but it was boring not being able to disagree on politics with my Dad.
Now, my Uncle was a different story, he wants the 19B over 20 years for air support to go towards child poverty instead. When I turned to him and told him we would always have child poverty because it has become a profitable industry, he was speechless. He supports the NDP, and as such is a pie in the sky idealist.
Overall, BC is looking good for the Conservatives. I can tell you, when my parents think PM Harper is doing a good job, a long time barrier has been broken. They really do not like Iggy and will either vote Conservative, or refuse to vote at all. Polls can not accurately measure the true feeling on the ground.
My parents were also mad about the opposition keeping "tough on crime" legislation from being passed. They want more to be done not less, like not letting the Tamil boat into Canadian territory. The idea of a majority is now a reality, especially in the west.
Had a wonderful holiday, but now I'm back to bug you, and what better way than Friday night funnies. Enjoy! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway.
'Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband's home early!'
'I can't jump out the window. It's raining out there!'
'If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!' she replied. 'He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!'
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window! As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in as best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.
Do you always run in the nude?' one asked.
'Oh yes!' he replied, gasping in air. 'It feels so wonderfully free!'
Another runner moved a long side. 'Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your arm?'
'Oh, yes' our friend answered breathlessly. 'That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!'
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and asked, 'Do you always wear a condom when you run?'
'Nope..just when it's raining.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEX AT 73!

I urgently needed a few days off work, but, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave.
I thought that maybe if I acted 'Crazy' then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing.
I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss might think I was 'Crazy' and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, 'What in the name of good GOD are you doing?'
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, 'You are clearly stressed out.' Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.'
I jumped down and walked out of the office...
When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her, '..And where do you think you're going?!'
(You're gonna love this....)
She said, 'I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a great weekend....I saw a leaf fall today, I'm not ready for autumn yet!
My parents are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this weekend, so we are off to Kelowna, for some sun, golf and great food.
Of course my sister phoned me yesterday in a panic about us giving a speech, so I was up until 4 o`clock going through 4 hours of old videos and putting the best parts into movie maker for a video presentation. This COULD have been done months ago, but no one thought of it. I had the perogies made over a month ago, it`s called planning, something my sister is really, really bad at, but I love her anyways.
Back next week sometimes, I hear Kelowna will be in the 30`s, given the rain and bad weather we have been having, I am looking forward to it.
I voted for Ted Morton, but all the lefties who signed up for PC memberships wanted Dinning, because of the lefties interfering in a PC leadership vote, we ended up with Red Ed.
Even if Red Ed was to retire tomorrow and Ted Morton was made Premier, I would not change my vote. PC's are red liberals. They are done. It's time for new blood. Morton had his chance to lead a new Conservative party, but he chose to stay with a dead party walking. It's too late for him to become the saviour of the PC's.
“Ted is about the only item on the chessboard that would have a chance of reminding defected Tories who are now supporting Danielle, that all is not lost.” Yet, he says, “it certainly hasn’t worked as well as they hoped.”
It may be that Mr. Morton has become a conflicted character. His muscular conservatism has always been his appeal. But in Mr. Stelmach’s Cabinet, he may be suppressing it: His once proudly brandished beliefs in reducing the size of the public sector, linking teachers’ raises strictly to performance, and that the Alberta’s Heritage Savings Trust Fund, represents “eighteenth century economics,” have been quieted. He defended the latest Alberta budget and its record-sized deficits as “the right balance between spending too much and spending too little.”
Sorry, but you only get one kick at the cat, and by sticking with the PC's, Morton has lost my vote.
I don't know if the Wildrose guys/gals will be better, but I hope they will actually be Conservative. That is why I will switch my vote if they run a candidate in my area. The PC's are old and tired, they need to be replaced, and Wildrose is the only option for Alberta.
Morton is like any other politician, he wants power. Red Ed should retire, but he is not smart enough to understand he is hurting Alberta. It is going to be a massive turnaround next election. We want fresh blood!
We need it now! The PC's are stale. It's time for the big shift. Anyone who is thinking about running in Alberta, should think Wildrose, because that is the future of Alberta.
A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the Saskatchewan prairies without water.
His horse has already died of thirst. He's crawling along the dusty ground, certain that he has breathed his last breath, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of the ground several yards ahead of him.
He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the ground and discovers what looks to be an old briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.
She is wearing a Revenue Canada ID badge and a dull grey dress.
There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a pencil tucked behind one ear. 'Well, cowboy,' says the genie..You know how I work....You have three wishes.'
'I'm not falling for this.' said the cowboy... 'I'm not going to trust a Revenue Canada genie.'
'What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation and it looks like you're a goner anyway!' The cowboy thinks about this for a minute and decides that the genie is right. 'OK!, I wish I were along-side a lush spring with plenty of food and drink.'
***POOF***
The cowboy finds himself beside the most beautiful spring he has ever seen And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
'OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish.'
'My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams.'
** *POOF***
The cowboy finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.
'OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!'
After thinking for a few minutes, the cowboy says... 'I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me.'
***POOF***
He was turned into a tampon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Two women were out for a Saturday stroll with their dogs. One had a
Doberman and the other, a Chihuahua . As they walked down the street,
the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that
bar for a drink."
The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got the
dogs with us."
The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do."
They walked over to the bar and the one with the Doberman put on a
pair of dark glasses and started to walk in... The bouncer at the door
said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."
The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my
seeing-eye dog."
The bouncer said, "A Doberman?"
The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."
The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."
The lady with the Chihuahua thought that convincing him that a
Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but
thought, "What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started
to walk in. Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets
allowed."
The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."
The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua ?"
The woman said indignantly, "A Chihuahua ? They gave me a f******g
Chihuahua ???????" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you know ...,

How weird is that? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation.
They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.
The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a 'drop dead gorgeous' blonde in a topless bikini came walking straight towards them.. They couldn't help but stare.
As the blonde passed them she smiled and said 'Good Morning, Father ~ Good Morning, Father,' nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests? So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits.
These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them! Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a different colored topless bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said
'Good morning, Father ~ Good morning, Father,' and started to walk away. One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, 'Just a minute, young lady.' 'Yes, Father?' 'We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?' She replied,
'Father, it's me, Sister Kathleen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope this wasn't you last night:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy your weekend!
I love rodeos, especially the bull riding, where the bulls usually beat up badly on the cowboys. Unfortunately sometimes, especially with the chuck wagon races, horses get hurt or die.
When that happens, all the PETA people crawl out of the woodwork, and a great cry goes up against the rodeo. Do they not understand that horses love to run? That the bulls usually kick the cowboys butts? That these animals are cared for and loved?
Already, two horses have died from heart attacks at the Stampede, one has been euthanized after a shoulder injury and a fourth broke its back from bucking too hard. A rider was also seriously injured.
It's like a side note that a rider, i.e. a human/person was injured. The animals are more important than the humans.
In other news, a mom kills her daughter and walks away. Apparently, horses are more important than daughters.
Justice Sal LoVecchio placed Aset Magomadova on probation for three years ruling the time behind bars sought by the prosecution wasn’t needed.
“The Crown says due to the nature of the act, namely a ligature strangulation and the necessity to address deterrence and denunciation a period of incarceration is necessary to preserve respect for the law,” LoVecchio noted.
“I do not agree,” the Court of Queen’s Bench judge said.
“Deterrence and denunciation may also be addressed without a period of incarceration,” LoVecchio said, in agreeing with defence lawyer Alain Hepner prison wasn’t warranted.
So, an immigrant:
Magomadova sat in the prisoner’s box wiping away tears as a Chechen interpreter translated LoVecchio’s words.
Who can't even speak English, kills her daughter and gets three years probation. This opens the door for every other honour killing. This Liberal judge should be called before a human rights tribunal (isn't that their purpose) to explain how a murder is okay because the person had a hard life in some other country. I am totally disgusted with this ruling. She should be deported back to where ever she came from, she does not deserve to be considered a Canadian.
Really? 25 years married to the same guy? I got my oldest boy to go dig out the wedding album. His first comment was, "Wow, I didn't realize you had colour back then", this sent me into a fit of laughter that had him looking at me like I had lost it, and the old folks home was not far off.
No marriage is without it's bumps, but we have worked them out, and our relationship is stronger than when we were all starry eyed and hot to trot. Commitment to each other, and to our marriage has allowed us to grow as a couple and most importantly, has given our boys a stable family life so that they can thrive.
We are starting to think about when the boys leave home, and it will just be the two of us again. Hubby is from PEI and it calls him back all the time. His anniversary gift to me , was a wonderful picture of PEI, you can almost smell the ocean and hear the sea gulls.
I love the island and the people. One of my favorite places is French River. The colours are stunning, as an Alberta born girl, I have a certain fascination with the ocean, especially the shellfish.
What did I get my hubby? An antique "Billy the Kid" pocket knife, that is just too cool. He is very hard to get anything for, because he just goes and buys anything he needs. I also got him a WWII medal and a silver coin.
No big party, just beef stroganoff and caesar salad for supper. I am busy learning how to restore antique furniture, I am trying my hand on a $15 garage sale find. Anyone know what kind of wood this is??
Oh well, have power sander, will grind away! Marriage is a lot like that, keep polishing until you reach the point that you want to apply the sealant. Very rewarding when you work together.
Honour killings, where's the honour? Who's honour? Some 7th century immigrant male who thinks he is superior to any female? It is disgusting. It does not belong in Canada. You will all nod your heads in agreement, but many will fail to understand the deep fear women live with everyday.
I had the chance to talk with a beautiful young woman from Afghanistan. I mentioned sharia law and her eyes went wide with fear, she stood up and in a very soft voice stated that she hoped we would never have sharia in Canada. I could see her shivering with just the thought that Canada would allow sharia. She was lucky that when her parents immigrated they did it for all the right reasons, and one of those was to escape sharia laws. She is being allowed to integrate into Canadian culture, and understands that females are equal here. She went back to visit her grandma in Afghanistan and when I asked her if she would go back there to help her people, she shook her head no. She liked Canada because it was safe.
I know that males do not understand this issue. My own MP does not understand the fear that women live with because of Islam. In my last discussion with him, he was mad at me because of this blog post:
When a demographic becomes too overwhelming, will it mean changes forced on the minority, like sharia law? Females should be very scared of that happening. Feminists, who trumpeted womens rights should be worried about our female Muslims who are suffering from discrimination and a lack of education. They are considered slaves by Islam, only good for breeding. Well we all know that feminists don't like breeders, so maybe that is why they do so little to defend Muslim women.
He was listening to a Liberal board member, hiding herself as a Conservative (they do that a lot in Alberta, poor things, that's how we got stuck with Stelmach), who complained about my blog, who either spent hours going through every blog post I had ever made to discredit me, or I suspect listened to her Liberal/NDP friend Gayle (who has been suspiciously absent from my blog ever since...guilt???? HA, as if Liberals knew what that was.).
To his credit, my MP doesn't support sharia law, but he also doesn't appear have a clue about how strongly women really feel about the suppression of their rights because of sharia. Even if it is not legal in Canada, you have to suspect it is being practiced. Honour killings are a huge hint!!! DUH!!
Thankfully Rona is doing something about the issue:
It is in the interest of ALL religious organizations, and they were quite good at it up until the last 100 years in this continent... it's still common practice in many parts of the world.
Not enough praise can be given to the real feminists of the early 20th century who proudly stood up and said NO MORE.
You would think the horrid oppression of women in other countries would be the main focus of modern feminists, however Western feminism today has more to do with socialism than actual feminism, the fema-nazi's you see today are concerned with equality in outcome rather than equality in opportunity.

Go haunt some other chick who is actually afraid of your Islamic supremacists' drivel. Of course I'm afraid of Islam, as a female I'd be property of men to despose of at will, killed on a whim, denied gender equality and forced to run around dressed in a body bag. What's to like Spioza, I'd rather be dead than forced to convert to the Religion of violence and hate.
Canadian females like SassieLassie have a huge advantage, they don't back down to any male. We have been raised as equal to our brothers, not as fodder for suicide bombs, or slaves to our fathers. Canadian males, including I suspect, my MP, do not understand what Sassy is saying, Islam scares us. It seeks to destroy all the strides we have made to be considered equal, not slaves to males. MP's of all stripes need to stop pandering for votes and start protecting ALL Canadians.
Or, protesters wear black boots like the police so that they can scream conspiracy.
Thugs learn by experience.
A sexual predator happened by our old house one day, he exposed himself to the female tenant in the basement apartment. The police knew who he was, and went to his house to apprehend him. He had run home and changed his shoes because the last time he had been caught, the police could tie him to the assault because of his shoes. So, this sexual criminal learned from experience.
Have protesters learned from experience? Seems like it, and the media is all too happy to go along with them as long as it sells papers, or hurts the government. Let me see, activists wearing black including their shoes went wild in Toronto, and they are not to blame for the police rounding them up and holding them in jail? Get real you idiots. What sickens me is that unions have become so politically active on their members dime. Go ahead and protest, but do not use funds from the government (Pride parade) or union members who are forced to pay union dues.
It's time for the silent majority to become vocal and drown out the special interest groups. You do not have to go to a protest to do it, you can email, and most importantly comment on sites like CTV. Lefties are the kings of protests, it's time for us to stand up to a vocal minority. Don't tread on me sounds about right. I am talking about all those lefty activists who shout about anything and believe in nothing.
Your mother wears army boots used to be an insult by lefties, it is now a sense of pride to all our female troops. As far as the stupid people protesting nothing, except themselves, go volunteer at a soup kitchen, then get back to us.
We have the best country on the earth, let's enjoy it, and have some fun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVING TO MEXICO Dear President Obama: I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bilingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flagpoles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from his president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need income tax credits so, although I don't pay Mexican taxes, I'll receive funds from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot: please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U..S. from Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You da hombre!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a great weekend, stay cool!
How could gays work so hard to get recognition and then blow it all off by supporting a group that spouts hate? Is it because they have no "cause" to fight for anymore? They can yap about free speech all they want but not on the taxpayers dime. You want a parade? You raise funds and do it on your own, especially if you want to include groups with political agendas. So says the Toronto council.
I found this interesting:
The city’s anti-discrimination policy says that, “groups that accept funding grants” must “protect the right to be free of hate activity based on age, ancestry, citizenship, creed (religion) colour, disability, ethnic origin, family status, gender identity, level of literacy, marital status, place of origin, membership in a union or staff association, political affiliation, race, receipt of public assistance, record of offences, sex, sexual orientation or any other personal characteristics by or within the organization.”
Look at that list, could it get any more ridiculous? What happened to the half ape/half man, why is he excluded from that list? How about we don't discriminate against individuals. Full Stop. Period. The End.
I don't care if you are black, gay, a union worker or a combination of all of the above, it shouldn't make you different or special in any way. Until we look at people as individuals and not some special interest group, no-one will be equal.
I notice the only characteristic listed that is in brackets is (religion), why??? They just made (religion) different from all the other things. That is obvious discrimination. Typical lefties. They knew they had to include (religion) but they didn't like it, so they put it in brackets so we could all understand that it was only put there to be politically correct. Ninnies.
I feel sad for the women and girls of Islam, I wonder where the feminists are to help defend them. I know for a fact that our military is trying to protect them because their Canadian Moms taught them that women are special, not cattle.
The pride parade draws out big crowds of people, not in support of their cause but to watch the spectacle they make of themselves. I feel sorry for those people who think it's necessary to walk around with their boobs/dicks drooping, they obviously have no self respect. Being gay is not an excuse for bad behaviour. When you have won everything you want, maybe it is time to thank Canadians for their acceptance, not to shove a radical group in our faces. Tolerance only goes so far.
When a judge last month ruled that a Catholic high school in Montreal could choose its own religious curriculum, in defiance of an order by the Quebec government, he wrote that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifically referred to “the supremacy of God” in its preamble. Now, in the ruling’s aftermath, some are wondering whether that language is out of place in a society that has grown increasingly secular.
“From an atheist’s perspective, what happens to those who don’t believe God exists?” asks Justin Trottier, executive director of the Centre for Inquiry Canada in Toronto.
“If God needs to be defended [by a court], then does God need to be defended by those of us who don’t believe in God?”
God does not need to be defended by a court, he's doing just fine. Lefties might be happier and less negative about life if they opened up their hearts to God. That is surely what they are missing in life. Take the time to look at your world, see how perfect it is, and understand that humans are only one of God's creatures. Stop bowing down to Gore, he is not a god, he is a tent preaching traveling salesman.
