I'm With Stupid said...

I thought making millions and billions was the American Dream...and what is this, "Your failed President?" Is Obama not your President as well. Just askin'.
Matt-Man

Nope, not mine Matt, yours and your friends who elected this idiot.  He is stealing America’s future and giving it to his friends in an attempt to buy votes for his unlikely reelection.  At least I hope it is unlikely, America cannot survive a second term……….

Everything is for sale…..

 

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an award bestowed by the President of the United States and is—along with the comparable Congressional Gold Medal bestowed by an act of U.S. Congress—the highest civilian award in the United States. It recognizes those individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."The award is not limited to U.S. citizens and, while it is a civilian award, it can also be awarded to military personnel and worn on the uniform.

Holy crap, she is someone's representative

I suppose it is not cool to have an opinion different from that of the most ignorant Maxine Waters, oh well, I must not be cool.........

Oldest Survivor Of Bataan Death March Dies at 105…….. 

A doctor once told Albert Brown he shouldn’t expect to make it to 50, given the toll taken by his years in a Japanese labor camp during World War II and the infamous, often-deadly march that got him there. But the former dentist made it to 105, embodying the power of a positive spirit in the face of inordinate odds.

“Doc” Brown was nearly 40 in 1942 when he endured the Bataan Death March, a harrowing 65-mile trek in which 78,000 prisoners of war were forced to walk from Bataan province near Manila to a Japanese POW camp. As many as 11,000 died along the way. Many were denied food, water and medical care, and those who stumbled or fell during the scorching journey through Philippine jungles were stabbed, shot or beheaded.

Shameful………

President Barack Obama, in the process of saluting, participates in a ceremony at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Del., Aug. 9, 2011, for the dignified transfer of U.S. and Afghan personnel who died in Afghanistan on Aug. 6. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

Photography of returning remains has historically been very tightly controlled, and traditionally if any of the families of the dead object, only the approved caskets are photographed. In this case, 19 of the 30 families said no, and the press were told they were not allowed to take images during the scene, despite high interest. They even asked if they could photograph just the officials, but were still rebuffed. That's the point of contention, since the White House widely released a photo on their own.

What the old sarge thinks:  Yep, our commander (shutter) in chief, completely disregarded the wishes of the families in violation of DOD policy, how could this looser pass an opportunity for self promotion……

Sometimes you piss me off!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok Newsweek, you have earned your place on the trash heap of dead publications.  I do wonder how long it took you to get that blank stair on he face.

“The Queen of Rage” you say The Queen Of Rage” The photo of Bachmann makes her look like some sort of manic street preacher. And the headline, "Queen of Rage," hardly speaks to her Christian values.

Is this some gimmick by Newsweek to goose newsstand sales? Cause they couldn't have picked a crazier picture and headline to entice supermarket shoppers.

The cover shows Bachmann standing against a stark blue background, looking directly into the camera with a wide-eyed expression. The headline advertising the magazine's story reads, "THE QUEEN OF RAGE."

Rage" is a word that doesn't appear in Newsweek's actual profile of Bachmann

Do these guys know they are going to be replaced by the National Inquirer…….

Smile of the day……

Bubba and Johnny Ray were sittin' on the front porch drinking beer when a large truck hauling huge rolls of sod went by.

I'm gonna do dat when I win the lottery", said Bubba.

"Do what?" asked Johnny Ray.

"Send my grass out to be mowed."

The Old Sarge offers a hat tip……..

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), center, is welcomed by her fellow members of the the House of Representatives as she appears on the floor for the first time since her shooting earlier this year.

Even though I do not agree with the political views of this lady, I commend her for her tenacity, she is a fighter who faced overwhelming odds and made it back to the House of Representatives to cast the vote that put the debt limit bill over the top.  I am not convinced that she made the correct vote, but Representative Giffords is an American Hero in my eyes.

Vietnam: for victims of Agent Orange, the war isn't over

I suppose this post is here because I went back into Chemo treatment yesterday.  This current round of the cancer fight is approaching three years now.   Am I pissed off, you bet, but that will not change my condition, life is precious, so you keep up the fight.

My treatment went well, I am experiencing some shortness of breath and will have an Echo Doppler of my heart today in an attempt to find the cause.  I have had no ill effects from the treatment so far…. 

What the hell were they thinking, this crap would kill a tree that was a 100 years old, and they did not consider the effect it would have on the human body. 

Studies of veterans who served in South Vietnam during the war have increased rates of cancer, nerve, digestive, skin and respiratory disorders. Veterans from the south had higher rates of throat cancer, acute/chronic leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, prostate cancer, lung cancer, soft tissue sarcoma and liver cancer. Other than liver cancer, these are the same conditions the US Veteran's Administration has found to be associated with exposure to Agent Orange/dioxin, and are on the list of conditions eligible for compensation and treatment.

While in Vietnam, the veterans were told not to worry, and were persuaded the chemical was harmless. After returning home, Vietnam veterans began to suspect their ill health or the instances of their wives having miscarriages or children born with birth defects may be related to Agent Orange and the other toxic herbicides to which they were exposed in Vietnam.

NOT TO WORRY, IT IS HARMLESS………

The following are list of health issues I have suffered, all related to Agent Orange.

• Acute and Subacute Peripheral Neuropathy
  A nervous system condition that causes numbness, tingling, and motor weakness.

Neuropathy in both feet since 2005, live with it.

• Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2)
  A disease characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from the body’s inability to respond properly to the hormone insulin.

Medicated since 2004.

• Ischemic Heart Disease
  A disease characterized by a reduced supply of blood to the heart, that leads to chest pain.

Pacemaker implanted in 2001.

• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
  A group of cancers that affect the lymph glands and other lymphatic tissue.

R-Chop Chemo in 2009, followed by 15 radiation treatments

• Prostate Cancer
  Cancer of the prostate; one of the most common cancers among men.

My prostate was removed in 2001.  Followed with 36 radiation treatments.

• Respiratory Cancers
  Cancers of the lung, larynx, trachea, and bronchus. 

Respiratory cancer resulted in the removal of the upper right lobe of my lung.  This cancer is now in the bone in my back and that is why I am presently being treated.  

Other than that it has proven to be harmless to me personally.

Air Force records show at least 6,542 spraying missions took place over the course of Operation Ranch Hand. By 1971, 12 percent of the total area of South Vietnam had been sprayed with defoliating chemicals, at an average concentration of 13 times the recommended USDA application rate for domestic use.  In South Vietnam alone, an estimated 10 million hectares of agricultural land were ultimately destroyed. In some areas, TCDD concentrations in soil and water were hundreds of times greater than the levels considered safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Hey folks, we got to come home, what about the Vietnamese people, they live there, they were at home…..

40 years after it was sprayed, Agent Orange continues to cause deaths, cancers, leukemia and birth defects. The Vietnamese Red Cross estimates that there are one million victims.

Q: What's the difference between Obama's cabinet and a penitentiary?

A: One is filled with blackmailers, tax-evaders, and threats to society. The other's for housing prisoners.

Holy crap, 54.4 MPG, back to the Yugo.......

Under the hood, there isn’t much power but with a car this small there doesn’t need to be. Motivation comes in the form of a 70-horsepower, 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine that can push the 2011 all the way to a top speed of 90 mph. A five-speed auto-manual transmission is standard. Fuel economy is one area where the ForTwo excels, getting 33 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.

My friend JJ owns this Smart, hey JJ will it really do 90 MPH. You will not have to get a YUGO, you can now buy a SMART, same size but a much better car. I used the YUGO because it is easy to make fun of............

1985 Yugo GV

Lets face it folks. the Obama EPA will not be satisfied until they have forced every American to ride a bus or walk to work. In 1985, we imported the Yugo GV, which turned out to be the worst care ever made. Built in Soviet-bloc Yugoslavia, the Yugo had the distinct feeling of something assembled at gunpoint. Interestingly, in a car where "carpet" was listed as a standard feature, the Yugo had a rear-window defroster — reportedly to keep your hands warm while you pushed it. The engines went ka-blooey, the electrical system — such as it was — would sizzle, and things would just fall off. Yugo. Or not.

Unfortunately, most of them wound up like this........

I must admit, they are very eco-friendly, nature friendly, and green, look they make a wonderful planter.

The debt debate may be grabbing all the headlines, but another debate has been taking place in Washington over the last few years. Under the Obama administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been hammering out an agreement with automakers and the state of California for a new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard. Today the EPA announced that a CAFE of 54.5 mpg will be required by 2025, nearly doubling current fuel economy standards.

Folks, I got to tell you that the Old Sarge will not be riding around in a sardine can, I want some steel around me when I move from place to place 60-70 MPH. The problem is to meet these standards there will be not allowance for steel in the new automobiles.

The following video was the genesis of this post, I watched it and it CRACKED me up. Lets face it, he will meet the new EPA CAFE Standard. This one runs on fried chicken, pork ribs and sausage gravy...
