Well seems like the early rumors are turning out to be true. Our good friends and long time allies, the United Kingdom, approved the early release of the convicted Lockerbie bomber in order to further a huge oil deal with Libya. al-Megrahi may be dying of cancer, and have only months or weeks to live, but he should have spent those last days in his prison cell. Instead he's treated to a heroes welcome in Libya.
Now I'm not saying we should consider the UK as an enemy or part of the "Axis of Evil", but we should let them know in a very strong way that we, as a nation, are not pleased. How about recalling our ambassador to the UK for 6 months and ending any high-level diplomatic contact with them? How many of us have had disagreements with good friends and been given the cold shoulder. Makes you want to put things right if it's a relationship you cherish. Maybe it's time we gave the UK the cold shoulder for a while.

Before you read this post be aware that it is a joke forwarded to me by a friend. However, given the current state of our nation and the recent socialist tendencies of the current administration, it should give you reason to think....

Democrats, realizing the success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers" rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.
President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reed are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named....
"CASH FOR CODGERS" and it works like this... Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay for the delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person. The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.
Special "Bonuses" will be paid for those submitting codgers in targeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, and any member of the Republican Party.
Smaller bonuses will be given for codgers who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussel sprouts, or Girl Scout Cookies.
All codgers will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection. This will insure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair.
