Let's See What Message America Sends To Washington Politicians In Tomorrow's Super Tuesday Primaries

Tomorrow's "Super Tuesday " primaries are hopefully the beginning of America's message to politicians and that message is that we are fed up with your shucking and jiving and government as usual. The national economy is in shambles, unemployment is astronomical and now, every politician's job is in danger as well. Now the politicians will see what unemployment really feels like.

The Pennsylvania contest is one of four competitive Senate primaries Tuesday. Incumbents and establishment favorites have already seen casualties in Utah, Florida and West Virginia.

In Pennsylvania, Rep. Joe Sestak is in a statistical tie with Sen. Arlen Specter heading into Tuesday's primary that will decide the Democratic senate nominee, with Sestak leading 42 percent to 41 percent with 16 percent undecided. Specter was a Republican for years and switched parties in April of 2009 after realizing he would be defeated and lose his seat to his opponent. Spector may or may not survive the Democratic primary, but his fate will likely be sealed in the November elections.

In Kentucky, reflecting the GOP drift to the right, Secretary of State Trey Grayson has faded amid a surge for Tea Party favorite Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist and son of libertarian Rep. Ron Paul (R- Texas). There's also a battle for the Democratic nomination, this one between Attorney General Jack Conway and Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, a physician.

The bottom line? Americans can repair the damage done to this country in 2008 and now is the time to show Washington that campaign lies will result in losing the next election.

The News As I See It: President Obozo said he’s angry and frustrated with the oil spill in the Gulf and the oil companies behind it. He said he’s tired of all the finger-pointing — then he blamed the Bush administration for everything.

Nancy Pelosi told Catholic leaders they need to support the Democratic version of immigration reform, and to preach it from the pulpit. She would have said more but she had to leave to attend a rally for the separation of church and state.

A woman in Britain is selling wallabies as a good alternative to lawnmowers. They say the wallabies work just as well as regular mowers — until you get drunk and try to ride one of them into town.

Picture Of The Day: Political cartoons and photoshop pictures abound as the current news in America becomes worse each day. Some are humorous and some are not but all make valid points.

Printable Things I Never Told You: 1) I'm trying to figure out whether I should have casual sex, or should I dress up? 2) One of my lady friends asked me, "Do you believe in love at first sight"? I said, "At the first sight of what"? 3) Those who say they "sleep like a baby", haven't got one. 4) Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. 5) Most women don't know where to look when they're eating a banana.....and that's five !

The AREA 51 Retirement Home Bar and Grill: Two old men were talking. Murray said, "So Moises, how's your sex life?" Moises responds, "Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex." Murray says, "Social Security sex?" Moses repies, "Yeah, you know; I get a little each month, but not enough to live on!"

Bob and Larry men are out just fishing quietly and drinking beer. Almost silently, so as not to scare the fish, Bob says, "I think I'm gonna divorce my wife. She hasn't spoken to me in over 2 months." Larry continues slowly sipping his beer then thoughtfully says, "You better think it over, Bob. Women like that are hard to find."

The Hits Just Keep On Coming: My thanks to my pal Victor for his contribution to today's stories.

Barack Obama was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, three kids, who were fishing, pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted.

The first kid said, "I want to go to Disneyland." Obama said, "No problem. I'll take you there on Air Force One". The second kid said, "I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan's." Obama said, "I'll get them for you and even have Michael sign them!" The third kid said, "I want a motorized wheelchair with a built-in TV and stereo headset!!" Obama is a little perplexed by this and says, "But you don't look like you are handicapped." The kid says, "I will be after my dad finds out I saved your ass from drowning!"

The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase, "Tutti Homini" - Blessed be Mankind. A women's rights group approached the Pope the next day. They noticed that the Pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind. The next day, after His sermon, the Pope concluded by saying, "Tutti Homini, et Tutti Femini" - Blessed be Mankind and Womankind.

The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope. They said that they noticed that he blessed man kind and woman kind, and asked if he could also bless gay people. The Pope said, "Sure". The next day, the Pope concluded his sermon with, "Tutti Homini, et Tutti Femini, et Tutti Fruiti."

While touring an Indian reservation in North Dakota filming a documentary, the lady was puzzled as to why the difference in the number of feathers in the headdresses. So, she asked a brave who only had one feather in his headdress. His reply was, "Only have one woman. One woman, one feather." Feeling the first fellow was only joking she asked another brave. This brave had two feathers in his headdress. He replied, "Me have two women. Two women, two feathers."

Still not convinced the feathers indicated the number of sexual partners involved, she decided to interview the Chief. The Chief had a headdress full of feathers, which, needless to say, amused the lady. She asked the Chief, "Why do you have so many feathers in your headdress?" The Chief proudly pounded his chest and said, "Me Chief, me sleep with 'em all. Big, small, and tall, me sleep with 'em all."

Horrified, she stated, "You ought to be hung." The Chief said, "You damn right, me hung, big like buffalo, long like snake." She cried, "You don't have to be so hostile." The Chief replied, "Hoss-style, dog-style, wolf-style, any style...me sleep with 'em all." With tears in her eyes, she cried, "Oh dear." The Chief said, "No deer. Ass too high, run too fast."

That's it for today my little sweet potatos. Remember, nothing in the world is more expensive than a women who's free for the weekend. More on Wednesday.

Stay Tuned !

According to the latest polls the Democratic seats up for grabs this November are all expected to be lost. This has held steady since last year. People are seriously fed up. That's why this administration and the Congressional Democrats are trying to do as much damage as possible now, because they know come January, that little playhouse will be over.

Love the political humor!
