Khloe Kardashian & Paris Hilton share a Pork Dinner in Mexico

Paris Hilton was asked if she was worried about swine flu, and she said verbatim, "No ... I don't eat pork" Nicole Richie said that proved she was right about Paris all along. "Flu comes from ANY kind of food", said the Real World starlet.
On a serious note, while this outbreak has been played down, and examples have been made to "usual numbers of deaths" from the flu, this has genetic material from birds, pigs, and humans. It almost sounds manufactured by some pharmaceutical - does it not? I can envision this virus morphing into something even worse, and it is spreading fast. I am worried about this pandemic situation quite a bit.

Hefner: Holly Madison Welcome at the Playboy Mansion -- "But Not as a Girlfriend": Ok now, let me get this strait! You can invite old girlfriends back to the house even with the new one already moved in ??? Why have I never thought of this before? I am definitely getting out my satin robe and my black book right now. What a genius .... oh man!!!


FACT CHECK: Obama disowns deficit he helped shape : GOOD GOLLIE!!!!!!!! This from mainstream news?? Funny how the new president acts like he was not in Washington before winning the election. I saw his talk with America tonight and laughed and laughed. Do people really believe his rhetoric? He said he wants a streamlined government. Ummm, he has been the biggest tax and spend / pork pay-out fellow "EVER" in the history of our country for many, many years now. THEN ....... I hear him say "It will be good for African Americans" ~ describing his policies. If this does not bother you, how about these lines?

1. Good for Mexicans
2. Good for Whites
3. Good for Men
4. Good for Atheists
5. Good for Christians
6. Good for chickens

I guess I prefer "Good for all Americans"

Britney Spears extends "Circus" tour to Europe and plans to show her beaver in Poland and beyond. Enough said.


Khloe Kardashian proved that she is as sexy as her big sisters in a form-fitting black bustier dress. I cannot really decide if she is more "hot" or more scary looking. Honestly, she looks to me like a woman that tries to kick men in the balls a lot. Literally and verbally.

"You forgot to open the car door again" .... WHAPP!!!

ooooopffff

Church Humour

The newly appointed parish priest of a Catholic Church was visiting in the homes of his new parishioners after taking down their contacts at his first mass at the parish.
At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home as the TV was on, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. So, he took out a business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday at mass, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message,"Genesis 3:10."
After mass, he reached for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.
Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked, so I hid myself."

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!"
His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means?"
The son replied, "I do know!"
"Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?"
"That's easy, Dad..." the young boy replied excitedly," It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.'
There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country."
Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk.
"Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady.

"Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world.There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, its morning!"

A Catholic priest parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.
Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."

There is the story of a priest who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humour, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass Caution: Do not step in exhaust."

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?"
A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy.
"Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked."You know - Our Father, who art in Heaven... "

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about.
The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt."
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed.
Later in the day, the priest stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about.
He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."

The priest was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute.
The substitute wanted to know what to play.
"Here's a copy of the mass," he said impatiently.
"But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances."
During the mass, the priest paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played "Advance Australia Fair." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

Monday Cheating & Hope from the Shadows

What to post when you have 10 minutes?? Well, you simply copy an old post many have never seen before. This was written by El SpeedCat over a year ago ...

Oils meld on canvass
colors blend and reflect
streams flow to rivers, and then to sea
my road writhed
I turned
the pale ship moved out from port
warm rays with hope jumped from shadows
then lifted salt from my wound
ease and comfort overtake
seizing time and spirit
I awake

Chicken Island Nightmare & Captain Weenlelskinnard's Giant PIE

After weathering an incredible storm all night on the Hollydale Sea, 10 survivors had landed on Chicken Island with no form of communication ... not even Twitter.


On the beach the the group decided to split up in parties of three and investigate. Sherry Louitinbaukers was the odd woman out, and ventured onward by herself. Nobody liked her anyway after she stole the ships steering wheel as a "joke" on Captain Weenlelskinnard.
On the West slope of Mount Kikakatchiekikinz threesome #1 was intently curious about the strong and wafting fragrance of 12 to 14 secret spices. They soon found out why.
One after another - gigantic buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken were falling from the sky and crashing down to Earth like meteors.
The group walked closer to one of the buckets and checked for the possibility of lunch. (THEY WERE EXTREMELY HUNGRY) The bucket was hot, and it looked really good. A conversation started as to just how they would eat a 500 pound chicken drumstick, but it was too late!
One ruggedly handsome giant spaceman / alien type emerged from the sweet smelling KFC bucket and said, "Touch one chunk of this poultry and I will crush you like a twig. This is what I will live on until I procreate and eventually take over this planet.
Like wooosies they ran for it, and yelled out to find the other 7 castaways.

" We must find a way off this beach and get through the canyons to safety! "

When the herd was rounded up they decided to move North. Captain Weenlelskinnard proclaimed, "I feel it in my bones ... we are going to be OK"

..... as soon as we cross this giant pie


Sherry Louitinbaukers did not make it

COMMENTS (LARGE VERSION)

Freddie Mac ?

Sean Olender wrote this on February 3, 2008 - (NOTE THE DATE)

Congress is about to sell us the biggest fraud in American history.

It's been highly touted as an economic stimulus bill that will help millions of Americans - and has the backing of both President Bush and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In the coming year, individuals would receive rebates of up to $600 and families up to $1,200. There are other goodies, too, including tax write-offs for small businesses and an expansion of the child tax credit.

But, as the old adage goes, nothing comes for free. As part of the bill, Congress is set to rush through an increase in the mortgage loan limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (and Federal Housing Administration insurance, too) - from $417,000 to $729,750 - the first step toward a massive financial disaster in which taxpayers will end up paying through the nose.

Here's how we got to this point. Domestic and international investors hold hundreds of billions of dollars in bad debt, because U.S. investment houses sold them junk securities based on often fraudulent mortgages. Many of these mortgages were sold to unqualified buyers under terms that made widespread foreclosures a certainty once the housing market began to fall.

Investment banks and bond rating agencies sat down and tried to figure out how to describe Americans with insufficient incomes and little for a down payment as great credit risks on loans too big for their incomes. The new rules focused on credit scores, because it was a good excuse to avoid looking at income and down payment, factors that would have restricted this moneymaking fiasco.

Now, thanks to Congress, junk bond investors will be able to pawn off their bad debt to Fannie and Freddie, instead of suing the big investment houses for ripping them off. This shift will certainly doom Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so don't be surprised if we, the taxpayers, have to bail out poor Fannie and Freddie - to the tune of more than $1 trillion.

Why more than $1 trillion? If Goldman Sachs is correct in its recent projections that home prices in California are going to drop 35 to 40 percent, the state's losses alone would top $2 trillion, because California has a disproportionate number of jumbo loans. The irony here is that the collapse in housing prices could make Fannie insolvent even without raising the loan limit. Increasing Fannie's limit is like going on a spending spree with your credit cards because you know you are going to file for bankruptcy in a few months. Only here the taxpayer is left holding the bag. Our children will pay interest on this debt in perpetuity. It is our debt. It is inescapable.

In the coming months, Fannie and Freddie will buy up mortgages based on old, fraudulent appraisals and on loans with bogus inflated incomes. Unfortunately, many of these loans will still default.

But that's just the start. Brace yourself for another wave of faxes, phone calls and junk mail urging you to refinance at only 1 percent. With zero new regulation, the same bad actors that caused this crisis can once again inflate property appraisals and begin a new cycle of fraud.

There are firms that rent assets to people to help them fraudulently qualify for a mortgage - like loaning them money to keep in their bank account for a couple months so they can fool the lender with documented savings that evaporate the day after the mortgage is signed. Another popular ruse: The borrower pays an employer to pay him a lot of money in a fake job for a month or two so he can show a fat paycheck in his loan docs. Some real estate agents and mortgage brokers actually refer buyers to these services.

Contrary to popular myth, Fannie holds a lot of subprime debt, option ARM debt and other dodgy securities. Fannie and Freddie owned or guaranteed almost 45 percent of all mortgages in America last year. BusinessWeek noted in 2007 that Fannie and Freddie have "moved more prominently into low-documentation loans, which require little or no proof of the borrower's income." Expansion of Fannie and Freddie's reckless lending is exactly what Congress wants because it's plausibly deniable. Teary-eyed lawmakers can take to the airwaves a year from now and declare: "We had no idea Fannie could go under, but we can't cut and run now. We have to bail out Fannie and Freddie for the good of America! It's going to be a tough slog, but you're getting used to those, no?"

Those same lawmakers won't mention the fact that they get paid far more by real estate lobbyists than they do from our Treasury.

I've spoken with borrowers who stopped making mortgage payments seven or more months ago. None has received a default notice. Defaults may be much higher than banks are letting on. The data lags are growing suspiciously long. Nobody knows what's going on. Seven months without making a single payment! Will Fannie guarantee those loans because they aren't in formal default yet? Nobody wants to know, because if they know, they might be called to testify next year. That's why lawmakers want to raise the limits now and ask questions later.

This shortsighted plan poses a terrible risk to every American taxpayer, especially retirees, because Social Security money will be needed to bail out Fannie and Freddie. And even if you live in high-priced San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York - and stand to benefit from the increased loan limit - this is a horrible fraud on you, too, because raising the limit to $730,000 risks a systemic crisis that will cost far more than any temporary rebate check.

In support of the economic stimulus bill, Bush will have to face "working American families" and explain that some of their tax money is going to be spent guaranteeing $730,000 mortgages on $1 million homes. It's like some sort of upside-down communism where the poor pay the rich welfare. Why should taxes from families earning $48,000 a year be used to support expensive mortgages in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco? Welfare for the hungry and homeless is evil, but welfare for million-dollar homeowners facing a tough refi ... well, that's called "helping the economy."

I can imagine the president's radio address playing in the heartland: "We have some families with million-dollar homes on the coasts who are really hurting and so we need you, the working families of America, to stand together with them and help them avoid the kind of home price depreciation that might leave them without a new Lexus for years."

I guess Congress' hope is that median-income families will be too busy using their rebates to buy much-needed groceries to notice that the rich folk are getting way with a new scam.

Several months ago, economist Nouriel Roubini of New York University's Stern School of Business suggested that the housing market has been effectively nationalized. At first it seemed crazy, but now it's fairly obvious. In August alone, Fannie and Freddie increased their loan portfolios by $62 billion, and the Federal Home Loan Bank by $110 billion. That total of $172 billion would come to just over $2 trillion annually - not much less than the entire federal budget.

Everyone seeking a loan, securitizing a mortgage, and buying or selling a mortgage security will now be dealing, in one way or another, with the U.S. government. This type of intervention is very expensive and will eat everything in its path, including Social Security.

If we're going to have a government-financed intervention, it should be to make sure that Social Security benefits go to those who paid for them, that the poor are fed and housed, or that the army of uninsured receive health benefits. If, as they say, we don't have enough money for those important things, then I think we don't have enough money to bail out banks and bond investors.

Don't let me down, my fellow Americans. Let's vote out anyone who dares to vote for this scam.

Recent headlines .... Reported Suicide of Executive Is Latest Shock at Freddie Mac

Mr. David Kellermann was working in a poisonous political atmosphere. In addition to taking criticism over the bonuses, he was recently involved in tense conversations with the company’s federal regulator over its routine financial disclosures, according to people close to those discussions who also spoke on condition of anonymity. Freddie Mac executives wanted to emphasize to investors that they believed the company was being run to benefit the government, rather than shareholders. The company’s regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Authority, had pushed to play down that language. Freddie Mac reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission that changes it had made in practices to help the government “have increased our expenses or caused us to forgo revenue opportunities.”


REPORTED suicide is the key word.

Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970

Congress created this mess

We are not done hearing about Freddie Mac deception

Congress is now using this mess to create more government and nationalization

I am all for a good salad, but not one that has sweat on it.

Carrie Prejean and the Gay Marriage Talking Wieners

Miss California's gay marriage opinion (she did not like it) caused some backlash at the Miss America Contest, and Perez Hilton started crying. Carrie Prejean said her answer to the Gay Marriage Question was the only reason she lost.

In similar news, Mr. Olympia was disqualified for marrying a chicken.

I also look forward to Drowsey Monkey's comment on the red sack underwear (right). She likes Talking Wieners.
If that was not crazy enough ... the Zombie Chicken Tuesday awardie's were listed:
Speedcat Hollydale , Olga the Traveling Bra , Cynical Bastard , Momma Mia, Mea Culpa , A Little Piece of Me


Today on FACEBOOK many stopped by to wish me a happy birthday. They also called me at #777 and brought cake to my house in California (77 Happy Street). When I filled out the info ticket months back, I had no idea that "Birthdays" were sent out as notifications. hmmmm - looks like I get 2 birthdays this year. Thanks to everyone who send me a card. IT WAS NOT MY BIRTHDAY TODAY . I am fairly certain that Christen Fehr Nagy started the whole thing.


According to Forbes Magazine, Almost 1 in 10 Young Video Game Users are addicted. Parents of these children answered by saying "They only had kids for the family pictures on the wall". Games are also much cheaper than a Nannie. Let them have their fun ... the little dickins!



A 'Weird wind event' trapped two men under a golf cart at a New York suburban course this week. They say it was caused by a dust devil with a real power punch! After being set free from their predicament, the players teed it up on the next hole and yelled FORE !!!! Obama said that the odd ball hot winds were caused by radio talk show hosts that are mean to him.
After a thorough investigation, it was found that Dr. Phil just sucks at driving ... ANYTHING.
His wife yelled at him later when arriving back home. She said Phil thinks he walks on water, and looks like an inner tube. Phil smiled and said, "Is it any wonder I love this chick so damn much" ??
