This does it! I'm changing my listed location!

Sigh, what next? Arizona legislation announces, "The world is flat"? What's wrong with the water in Phoenix? Has radiation from the Palo Verde nuclear plant drifted on the wind? Has the Ozone layer finally thinned enough to the point the unfiltered U-V rays are literally cooking these lawmakers' brains?

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.
Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mister Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well listen to this: "I'm Mister Ed."

simply another attempt to legislate ethics for the scientific community. in reality, such creatures already exist:
known as "Jack A**es", a mix between a human and a donkey.

My sis in Colorado reports that 'dirty rain' drifted up from Arizona and covered everything around Denver with red residue.

Ms. Barto must have a fantasy of copulating with a non-human animal.

If they were plant cells (read GMO's) there would be far more uproar.

Remember the "No Cussing Week" in CA? Or how about in WI where the Hodag was given some sort of status? Same thing. They need to do something otherwise you will think they are not doing their job. IOW, busy work.

And someone got reeeeal busy up there in WI too.

That was/is a crazy Rhinelander thing.
The bar talk around Washington Island was/is “Thank God that evil creature can’t swim!”

Does make for a cool concert series though. If you’re into country music.

Runs just prior to AirVenture/Oshkosh, early July. You going to either???

I think they recently made having sex with a corpse illegal after they used the "Billy Crystal - The Princess Bride" defense as to the boys who wanted to dig up this hottie to have sex with. And by dig up, I mean dig up from the ground. But education works here. They did buy rubbers to keep themselves safe from whatever diseases she might have.

Thinking of it if we can find the time from our work and recovered from teh house move.

I think the legislator in AZ got scared really bad one night after coming home from a late-night session of the legisture and walked in on her kids watching "South Park" and one of those episodes where Dr. Moreau and his monkey-boy were doing something weird.

That's where she probably got the real idea for her proposal.

Actually, too many politicians with WAY TOO MUCH TIME on their hands.

Let's go back to the old days.

Remove the A/C from all Legislative-branch buildings and send them home in the spring when the humidity and heat starts to become unbearable...then FORGET to call them back in the fall until after "Indian Summer" or is it "Native-American Summer?"

Moving?

MOVING TO MEXICO

Dear Mr. President:

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 (bi-lingual) 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 flag poles 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 their 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 top, 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 me or 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 money 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're the man!!!
