Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

A few Saturday Links

Think Higgs-boson next time you carry a heavy garbage bag to the garbage can. This weighty subject of the nature of matter is impossible for me to get my head around.

Weatherman says that no meteorologists believe notion of man-made climate change. (Drudge)

A chick fight video goes viral. CNN video

More studies to be pursued on cell phones and acoustic neuroma. My theory: it's not the cell phone themselves that are the problem, it's the idiocy of the conversations.

Getting on a bit in age I was gratified to read that the Higgs-Boson heavier mass data explains the more earth bound favoritism that my particular Sato-guna displays in the face of the beloved yoni.
This news stiffens my resolve to do better by yoni in the future despite the gravity enducing effects of Higgs-Boson.

Have I met Yoni? Was she the blond chick in the lace miniskirt?

TOP STORY OF THE WEEK......Chinas interceptions and exoloding of an aging weather satillite.

This has implication that are HUGE. Just last year our intelligence people told us that only with utilizing an atomic warhead exploded "close" to the target could China do this, and that was "years away"..
We alsready know that on a daily basis China attempts to infiltrate our top secret computer systems. They have an entire division devoted to this single endeavor.

A recent exersice with Indian pilots flying modern Soviet Aircraft out F-15 Eagles were badly beaten without the aid of AWACS and other guidance aids.

This is not good.

CHIEF WASHINGTON LOBBYIST FOR THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S TRADE OFFICE, AN UNFORTUNATE CHOICE FOR A NATIONAL SECURITY POSITION (House of Representatives - March 23, 1999)

Habu announced today that he is running for the Presidency of the United States.

In a cunning move calculated to draw support away from all other candidates Habu is attempting to schedule his first debate with Dennis Kusinlick or whatever his name is ..you know the pencil neck geek guy.
Later he'll host a Hollywood style, red carpet affair at the Dollar General Store in Batesville, Mississippi.
In a press release he said, "Screw Iowa, all they have are Iowaho potatoes. Anyway Iowa is a four letter word"

Habu later pointed out to voters that:

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." (Yes, admit it, you are going to say . a e i o u)
They seemed to like his message.

Thanks for the links, Presidential Candidate Habu. And the laffs as usual when you're off on the comedic streak.

But question: If Hillary is the Chinese candidate, and Obama is the Jihadi candidate, who will you be representing? Chavez, maybe? Sorry, but inquiring minds need to know.

I'll go to India....I'll be representing, the people. The Joe SixPack, and the former Mustang Ranch girl. I will go to Korea. I will go to Iraq. I will go to Reno and Vegas. I will convince menage a trois'rs that they don't , well I'll go to Korea.
But in the end, the great untapped source that Americans talk to every day, about finance and the telephone, about the car payment and the health insurance...about our American way of life...I'LL GO TO INDIA. A BILLION PLUS PEOPLE each searching for an outsourced job. They'll He$p me win this e$ection$$$.

Just remember they have this Cast System, where if you don't behave they cast you into the Ganges River.

There, that ends your protocol training, be$t of luck and abyssinia samoa upon your return.
