Gun saves homeowner's life

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) — Carter County authorities say a homeowner fatally shot a hatchet-carrying intruder.

The Johnson City Press quoted Sheriff Chris Mathes, who said the early investigation Friday indicated it was self-defense.

Mathes said his office was called just after midnight Thursday to a home in the Roan Mountain community. He did not immediately identify those involved.

The sheriff said a report from the investigation would be submitted to District Attorney General Tony Clark.

Never bring a hatchet to a gun fight.

Poker Player kills rats!

Poker Player answers phone: Hello

Reporter: Is that you Poker Player?

Poker Player: Who does it sound like?

Reporter: You.

Poker Player: Well, it must be me. Now, what you got on your mind.

Reporter: I called up to ask you about your trip to DC and the rat hunt at the White House…

Poker Player: Yeah, I figured that. How come you never call up and ask if you can help me hoe out the garden?

Reporter: The garden’s got a hoe?

Poker Player: No. Chop out the garden.

Reporter: What do you want to chop out the garden for?

Poker Player: Get rid of the weeds.

Reporter: Huh?

Poker Player: Never mind. What’s your question?

Reporter: Well, how did you get involved in all this?

Poker Player: Congressman Batty. You know after that rat cut across the podium while Obama was busy apologizing to somebody about America.

Reporter: Now don’t get started on that. We both know that America has many faults.

Poker Player: No. You may know. The only fault I know is that we elected Obama.. But anyhow, that’s how it got started.

Reporter: And?

Poker Player: Yeah. Obama played it cool until he got back inside. But then he started demanding a writ for the rat, or a rat for a writ…

Reporter: Wasn’t that in “True Grit?”

Poker Player: Maybe. Anyway, the justice department said they only handled two legged rats. Turned into a real scene. Anyways, Congresscritter Batty was over there taking the Prez some of our fine home grown tobacco and a machine so the Prez could make himself some ready rolls…

Reporter: Ready rolls?

Poker Player: Yeah. You know, cigarettes that are ready to smoke when you take’em out of the pack.

Reporter: Oh.

Poker Player: Anyhow, Batty tells Obama that he had the answer.

Reporter: And that was you?

Poker Player: No. My rat dog.

Reporter: Ole Yeller?

Poker Player: No. Ole Yeller is a coon dog. My fice dog. Big John.

Reporter: I’ve seen Big John and he isn’t big.

Poker Player: That’s why we call him Big John.

Reporter: And that’s why you call him Big John?

Poker Player: Surely. I keep forgetting you ain’t from around here.

Reporter: So your rat dog…

Poker Player: No. My fice dog..

Reporter: Never heard of such.

Poker Player: Fice. F I C E

Reporter: Oh, you mean Feist Dog. F E I S T

Poker Player: No. He’s a fice. What are you, a Damnyankee?

Reporter: Okay, okay. He’s your fice rat dog. What happened next?

Poker Player: Well, quicker than you can say Cock Robin they had a G-5 down here and me and Big John was on our way to DC.

Reporter: G-5?

Poker Player: Airplane. Mighty nice one, too. Obama borrowed it from Pelosi… Air Force One is too big for Junction Airport.

Besides the President and the family were using it... they were off to Indonesia or somewhere. Everybody said it would be a perfect time to get rid of the rats.

Reporter: How’d Big John like flying?

Poker Player: Loved it. Just one thing. He hiked his leg and piddled on this one seat. The guys said it was where Madam Speaker sat.

Reporter: Him hiking his leg must have made them mad.

Poker Player: Well, I thought it would. But the crew just kept saying “Good doggy” and giving him more water.

Reporter: What happened after you got to the White House?

Poker Player: Everything was going great. Big John was killing rats left and right and then disaster.

Reporter: Disaster? What happened? One of the rats hurt Big John?

Poker Player: Worse. This woman from the French Embassy showed up with a female poodle that was in heat.

Reporter: Heat?

Poker Player: In season.

Reporter: What?

Poker Player: You are slow, aren’t you. She was in a lovey dovey mood.

Reporter: Oh.

Poker Player: I tell you it was love at first sight. Big John hadn’t ever seen a dog with a bow in her hair… I mean the rat killing just left his mind.

Reporter: I bet.

Poker Player: The French lady got all excited and kept asking if Big John was fixed. I told her it looked to me like nothing was broken. She just got madder and madder.

Reporter: I am not surprised.

Poker Player: Finally this guy showed up and started poking me in the chest with his finger telling me to go away and not come back until I had the problem solved.

Reporter: What’d you do?

Poker Player: Well, we went to the hotel and I ordered up a couple of steaks for us and a six pack of Heineken.

Reporter: Heineken? No PBR?

Poker Player: Yeah. I’d gotten to like it while on the G-5. Anyhow, had me some food and beer and after awhile it came to me.

Reporter: It?

Poker Player: Yeah, I remembered that when my Daddy thought we had too many rats in the corn crib he would catch a couple of Chicken snakes and just toss him in the crib. Man you should have seen those rats leaving the barn.

Reporter: And you found some Chicken snakes?

Poker Player: Yeah. I got this guy who had been assigned to help me and we went over to the zoo…

Reporter: And they had Chicken snakes?

Poker Player: They had some fancy name for’em. Didn’t want to let us have’em but we told’em it was a national emergency and nationalized the snakes.

Reporter: Nationalized?

Poker Player: They said be careful with’em but heck, I just tossed’em in an empty feed sack and we went over to the White House.

Reporter: And turned them loose?

Poker Player: Yeah. And you should have seen those rats take off. I mean they were everywhere.

Reporter: I bet.

Poker Player: Along about then someone from the zoo figured out what the snakes were for and called over and told the guy who liked to stick his finger in my chest and he started screaming. Snakes! Snakes! Get out! Get out!

I ain't never seen a grown man get so excited over a couple of Chicken snakes.

Reporter: Works for me. So everybody ran out. No one was hurt.

Poker Player: Yeah. The finger guy kept saying that if the President and his family hadn’t been gone he’d have me arrested or something…. I told him the snakes were harmless and I’d been told that the Prez and family were gone and that was why we were doing this now.

Reporter: Did that calm him down?

Poker Player: Not much.

Reporter: So that’s why they were all angry with you.

Poker Player: Well, I thought so but I finally figured out it was that Fox News picture that they kept running every two hours for a week.

Reporter: Huh?

Poker Player: You know, the one with all the politicians running from the White House with the caption that read: “Obama out of the country! All rats gone from White House!”

If he hadn't been here he could not have raped her

Yeah, we do. A long way up.

EDMONDS, Wash. – The man accused of raping a woman behind an Edmonds grocery store has been deported at least four times in the past 15 years, reports KIRO Radio.

An officer responding to a woman's cry for help Sunday night found 46-year-old Jose Madrigal on top of the woman and arrested him.

According to court documents, the woman told police that Madrigal had followed her and offered her $35 for sex, but she said no. She said Madrigal then forced her into the bushes on the north side of the store and raped her.

Documents say Madrigal told police "Sometimes we have control in our brains, but we make mistakes."

The 28-year-old Edmonds woman was treated at a hospital.

Snohomish County prosecutors have charged Madrigal in district court with second degree rape. He is also is being held for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

You know, maybe there is something wrong with what we have been doing.

A member of Arizona's top government utilities agency threw down the gauntlet in a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, threatening to cut off the city's power supply as retribution for the city's boycott of Arizona

snip

"I received your message; please receive mine. As a statewide elected member of the Arizona Corporation Commission overseeing Arizona's electric and water utilities, I too am keenly aware of the 'resources and ties' we share with the city of Los Angeles," Pierce wrote.

"If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation."

I hope they do. I am just so tired of arrogant hoodoos doing things like this boycott. They need to learn that...........

Obama gives up to Mexico

I listened and watched TV today as our global leader, President Barack Hussein Obama said, (and I quote, verbatim)...."Your visit speaks to a truth of our time. In North America and the world, in the 21st century, we are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds."

Then, our global leader stood silently by, on white house grounds, while the Mexican President complained that, "Arizona law is forcing our people to face discrimination."

This is a new low, even for a Saudi King supplicant. I don't like it at all when my president sides with a foreign leader against one of the United States of America -- of which, President Obama, may I remind you, that there are fifty (not fifty-seven; remember? There are 57 Muslim countries in the world, but only 50 states in the USA. It might help you if you repeat that in a mirror a few times.)

Please, Click on this: Link

Hurry up, fellow Americans, put your encyclopedias in your safes before Google scrubs any remaining definition of the United States of America as a sovereign entity off the web. The only proof we'll have of the existence of the late, great USA is the spoken word and banned books.

It is important to note that it was George Bush who signed Agenda 21 not Barack Obama; so this warning is strictly bi-partisan. Furthermore, if you really wanted a "dang fence," Senator McSame, the bill you and your fellow Progressives signed into law authorizing it would have been funded and the fence, built. But no, you guys only voted for it because you had complicit assurance that it would never be funded. Plenty of money to feed kids into the wars.......

Why the Democrats and the Left hate Arizona 1070

While Lefties, Demos and Mexican activists chant "human rights" and "no one is illegal" it is always helpful to review the real motives for their actions.

If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: “You don't need papers for voting.”

On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.

But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: “You don't need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign).”

snip

Busby said she was invited to the forum at the Jocelyn Senior Center in Escondido by the leader of a local soccer league. Many of the 50 or so people there were Spanish speakers. Toward the end, a man in the audience asked in Spanish: “I want to help, but I don't have papers.”

It was translated and Busby replied: “Everybody can help, yeah, absolutely, you can all help. You don't need papers for voting, you don't need to be a registered voter to help.”

Link

The Democrats don't care if illegal aliens vote and now we have proof of why they are in a tizzy over Arizona 1070.

BTW - Busby lost the election. Most likely because of the backlash from what she said.

So be of good cheer. We can take back our country.
