<h1>Obama Names <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33556933/ns/politics-white_house/">110 White House Visitors</a></h1>
<p><strong></strong><br />
<span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">brought back memories of the movie Animal House, when Blutarsky (John Belushi) is handing out frat names to the new pledges:</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Flounder: What is my Delta Tau Chi name?<br />

Pinto: Why &#8220;Pinto&#8221;?<br />
Bluto: [belches] Why not?</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">So, Obama stopped people on the White House tour, I guess, and told them, &#8220;Your White House name is .  .  .   Porcupine.  And YOUR White House name is .  .  .  Deep Throat.   And . . . &#8220;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">WJLA, an ABC news affiliate in Washington, DC, has put together <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/HealthyLiving/wjla-breast-exam-video-cancer-awareness-instruction-controversy/story?id=8949719">a four part series showing women how to do a self breast exam for cancer</a>.  The women do the exams on themselves, and they are not wearing a shirt or a bra, which I understand are not to be worn during a self breast examination. So the people watching the video will see how it&#8217;s done.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Don&#8217;t bother going to WJLA or ABC&#8217;s web sites to see the video; they talk about it, but the prudes won&#8217;t show it.  Neither will You Tube.  One You Tube video refers us to a different web site, but that one is just trying to get money and they don&#8217;t show it, either.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">I think that some ayatollahs and mullahs have taken over our airwaves, and are preventing people from seeing something that can SAVE THEIR LIVES.  Tell me this puritanical approach is not Sharia law all over again.  One gal said, &#8220;They shouldn&#8217;t show it; you don&#8217;t know how many young children may see it.&#8221; What a dunce!  Young children who have NOT seen a breast are to be pitied.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">When I was growing up, women outnumbered men in the U.S.  Now, read this from the 2000 census:  &#8220;The female population exceeded the male population at older ages, but the reverse was true at younger ages. Women aged 85 and over outnumbered men about 2.5 to 1 (3.0 million compared with 1.2 million). In contrast, the population under 18 consisted of 37.0 million males and 35.1 million females.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">So, the prudes are winning:  they are killing off the women  by these stupid, stupid policies of protecting us from seeing breasts to learn how to find cancer, while the women die.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />

<p><span style="font-size:8pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em>by MEAD GRUVER Associated Press writer | Posted: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 12:00 am</em> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;CHEYENNE &#8211; His name was just a numeral, yet he had legions of human admirers and few rivals among his own species.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Mighty bull elk No. 6 has died, victim of a freak accident just north of Yellowstone National Park.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;He tripped while trying to cross a fence and somersaulted onto his back. Pinned between large rocks with his antlers beneath him, No. 6 [couldn't breathe]. He was found dead Sunday.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash said No. 6 impressed everyone who saw him. He had a trophy-sized rack and weighed an unusually hefty 725 pounds.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;I certainly understand why he was a favorite of visitors. It&#8217;s very impressive watching a big, powerful animal like that,&#8221; Nash said Wednesday.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Each fall, more than 100 cow and bull elk congregate around Yellowstone headquarters at Mammoth Hot Springs to graze and mate. Biggest and baddest of all was No. 6.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;No. 6 was famous for venting his sexual frustration on rival bull elk and cars. He was responsible for many thousands of dollars in damage to tourists&#8217; cars over the years.<br />
<span id="more-2535"></span><br />
<span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;They just decide that they want to take out some of their aggression. Sometimes it&#8217;s the grass, sometimes it&#8217;s a tree. Sometimes it&#8217;s your personal vehicle,&#8221; Nash said. &#8220;And while moving vehicles certainly can be an issue, the vehicles don&#8217;t have to be moving to be a target.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Sometimes humans were the target: The record of No. 6 included attacks on two people. One person needed stitches. The other was knocked over without being hurt.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Park officials removed the antlers of No. 6 in 2004 and again in 2005 to make him less dangerous.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;He got an orange and black ear tag with a number on it several years ago.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Also tagged was bull elk No. 10, chief rival of No. 6. Nash said the death of No. 6 could make No. 10 king of Yellowstone, but several younger elk also have been making themselves known.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;Elk usually live 13 to 18 years. No. 6 was believed to be at least 15 years old.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">&#8220;He is survived by a large harem of cow elk.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">They named a squirrel Rocky, a mouse Mickey, a moose Marty, and a duck Donald.  This guy was only a number? C&#8217;mon: at least Elwood Elk, in honor of the Blues Brothers.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Be wary of crystal ball seers.  Two recent examples: Saturn and Palin.<br />
<span id="more-2513"></span><br />
<span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">1.  GM decided to kill its popular, and ought-to-be-profitable Saturn car line, to the chagrin of loyal customers and potential investors.  We, however, are not surprised.  This company now run by brain numb college boys was a major force in U.S. industry throughout the 20th century.  The bored of directors (misspelling intentional) made increasingly stupid decisions in the past ten years, finally resulting in the decimation of the company and a huge bankruptcy.  What makes anyone think they could smarten up and recognize Saturn&#8217;s potential?  Those people cannot find their tushes with both hands.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">2.  Now, Steve Schmidt, John McCain&#8217;s former chief campaign strategist, said that if former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin were to be the Republican nominee in 2012, it would be &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; for the Republican Party.  &#8220;I think that she has talents, but my honest view is that she would not be a winning candidate for the Republican Party in 2012, and in fact, were she to be the nominee, we would have a catastrophic election result.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;">Perhaps we should listen to Steve.  Oh, forget that he was a key person in putting Palin on the McCain ticket.  Forget that he and Palin disagreed a lot.  Forget that he leaked the &#8220;going rogue&#8221; quote to the press during the campaing, criticising Palin.  Forget that he alone probably did more to screw up McCain&#8217;s chances than even McCain could do.  Remember only that he is the Master of the Universe at knowing catastrophes when he sees them, having created a huge one not long ago as McCain&#8217;s chief strategist.</p>
