			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Wake up, people!</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>What are you waiting for?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Get your overcoats on! It&#8217;s time to go Hanukkah/Christmas Shopping!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Grab it now, before it all ends up in &#8220;Layaway!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>If you call yourself a p-p-p-patriot, you&#8217;d better get up off your sorry butt and do something to save the America Economy! </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>So get out there and heat up those credit cards!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And at night, when you&#8217;re dog-tired from fighting the masses, trying to get &#8220;just the right anatomically correct<strong> Barbie Doll</strong>&#8221; for that niece (or even that nephew in San Francisco)&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-226" title="barbie-2009" src="http://thenewspaysitsdues.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/barbie-2009.jpg?w=500" alt="barbie-2009"   /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8230; you can sit by the fire and ponder a whole new set of &#8220;seemingly improbable&#8221; (if you&#8217;ve been reading the <strong>WSJ</strong>) events like:</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>A virgin birth, and&#8230;</li>
<li>Some people rising from the dead, and&#8230;</li>
<li>How some fat old man can bring presents to every child on the planet in one night without ever being seen, and&#8230;</li>
<li>Why it is our duty as Americans to spend more than we can afford on presents for people that often don&#8217;t appreciate them, so that&#8230;</li>
<li>Multi-National conglomerates can pay obscene bonuses to people who never even begin to deserve them, while in order to pay for them&#8230; American taxpayers take it up the&#8230; um&#8230; er&#8230; never mind&#8230;</li>
<li>While our newly elected President gets the Nobel Peace Prize for surviving 14 days of the Presidency&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Oy&#8230; I&#8217;m getting a headache already&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;"></ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>And the people say&#8230;</em></p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Amen.</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The United States has taken over from previous champion Germany&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;in wind power production. For this honor, the USA has only to give thanks to nature and human resourcefulness.</p>
<p>Nature has gifted the USA with much stronger winds than Germany.</p>
<p><em>Providence (or inbreeding) has gifted the US with an overabundance of  &#8220;political poltroons bent on public stupidity.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Hence&#8230; all the hot air!</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Why? Because we have more politicians, that&#8217;s why! Aren&#8217;t you paying attention? Do I have to use CRAYONS here? Argh!<br />
</span></p>
<p>Apparently, somebody at the American Wind Energy Association (<em>probably in the mail room</em>), said that in the US, wind energy capacity is growing faster than anyplace else.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">I can only assume it&#8217;s because this &#8220;expert&#8221; gets first crack at all the donation solicitations being sent from Washington DC.</span></p>
<p>But if we try to view those stats differently, Germany harnesses seven percent of their power from wind and Denmark generates twenty percent of power from wind.</p>
<p>Hmmm&#8230; Which means it may not only by due to political hot air after all. It might be something else&#8230; I know! Maybe it&#8217;s the beer! I mean, they drink in Germany, but I&#8217;ve been to Denmark, and THEY really know how to &#8220;slam a stout,&#8221; let me tell you&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Per capita these Danish Pilsner-Swillers can drink you under a table faster than you can say; &#8220;Obama is yo mama!&#8221;</span></p>
<p>Strangely enough&#8230; Wind energy only constitutes 1.2% of total power consumption in America.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">I think it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s spread out over more square mileage&#8230;</span></p>
<p>The American Wind Energy Association also estimates that by the end of the year 2012, some 7,500MW of wind energy will be brought online in America.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Why? Because it&#8217;s the next &#8220;Election year&#8230;&#8221; duh! There will be enough hot air floating around to make the warm Santana Winds that sweep in off the desert look like a defective hairdryer!</span></p>
<p>And due to the economy taking more tumbles than<strong> Mary Lou Retton</strong>, layoffs will be at an alltime high. This will lead to more consumption of that blessed brew (and we ain&#8217;t talking &#8220;mountain grown Folgers,&#8221; either!) and the creation of even more warm expelled gases.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-200" title="6801201P MARY LOU RETTON" src="http://thenewspaysitsdues.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/retton.jpg?w=500" alt="6801201P MARY LOU RETTON"   /></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Man, I&#8217;d like to give Mary Lou Retton a tumble or two&#8230; Wait&#8230; I think that I married her clone! I mean&#8230; my wife looks kinda like her&#8230; She&#8217;s short, and really flexible, she has that &#8220;Mary Lou dark hair thing goin&#8217;,  and she can &#8220;go acrobatic on yer butt&#8230;&#8221; wait&#8230; my wife has much bigger boobs&#8230; and she&#8217;s really violent&#8230; not &#8220;sports-minded at all,&#8221; not even a little bit&#8230; and come to think of it, I&#8217;ve never seen her in a leotard&#8230; never mind&#8230; </span></p>
<p>Though the wind industry, &#8220;strengthened&#8221; (now there&#8217;s a laugh) by the Stimulus Bill,  will try to absorb the shock of all this &#8220;wind&#8230;&#8221; once gain, the ultimate brunt will be borne by the American consumer.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">So, buy your gas masks while you can! We have them in several designer colors, and one size fits all! Don&#8217;t delay! Act Now! Limit of three to a customer! We accept Gold, Silver, and &#8220;favors&#8230;&#8221; But none of that &#8220;devalued green folding stuff.&#8221; That sh@t is worthless! Not even the Europeans will take it! </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-199" title="gas-masks1" src="http://thenewspaysitsdues.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/gas-masks1.jpg?w=500" alt="gas-masks1"   />Obama wants to double U.S. alternative energy output over three years.</span></p>
<p>And you know what THAT means&#8230; Experts are already saying that because of the Stimulus Bill, American Government will have to increase in size, just to support it! Talk about &#8220;Hot Air!&#8221; I just hope it doesn&#8217;t blow us out of orbit!</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Talk about Global Climate Change! </span><span style="color:#ff0000;">We&#8217;ll probably end up out there by&#8230; say it with me; <strong>&#8220;Uranus!&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Oh, stop groaning&#8230; You laughed! Admit it! Okay, don&#8217;t! I don&#8217;t care&#8230; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> <strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s clear that the Congress must put clean energy solutions into its top agenda because the unemployment rate is already at a 20-year high and the economy needs a push in the right direction (and we&#8217;re not talking about &#8220;pants propulsion&#8221; here, folks!). Wind power projects can generate jobs and at the same time they can reduce America’s dependence on foreign sources of power generation.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">As long as we don&#8217;t run out of bottle openers, beer taps, or band-aids for those pesky &#8220;twist off cap&#8221; injuries!</span></p>
<p>Now the ball is in the legislatures’ court.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Get your Congressman to expel some of that hot air for a worthy cause! You can make a difference!</span></p>
<h6><span style="color:#ff0000;"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-43" title="the-lexinator" src="http://thenewspaysitsdues.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/the-lexinator.jpg?w=62&#038;h=96" alt="the-lexinator" width="62" height="96" /></span>PS: Your mileage may vary. Offers do not include destination taxes, prep charges, depth charges, shape charges, or anything resembling personal defense equipment. Don&#8217;t run with scissors, talk to strangers, or eat Halloween candy without inspection. Drink your milk, eat your vegetables, and a good stiff belt of Scotch will cure nearly anything that ails you. If illness or irritability continues, increase dosage. I am not a doctor, I just play on on TV and in the garage&#8230;</h6>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Lexinator,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve built up a huge craving for some mocking, but there&#8217;s just too much good material to select from.  Thus, the voices in my head will just go after the headlines today.</p>
<p><a id="r-0-1_1286324648" href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gfsO6SsGJUrRCXhujgS5ycbUIsfQD95F5A380"><strong><span style="color:#000099;">9 Muslim passengers kicked off flight after remark</span></strong></a></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">And that really pissed Abdul or whatever his name is because it was only his daughter doing her homework that scared the other passengers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ff00;">Yeah, what&#8217;s the world coming to when a ten year old can&#8217;t practice beheading techniques without causing a fuss.</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#33cccc;">I can&#8217;t believe the French can figure out how to strike a match.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ff00;">They probably out sourced the work.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Still, letting gangs of roaming lunatics burn cars at random sounds like a cheaper way of saving our auto industry than letting Congress solve the problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#33cccc;">Sounds like more fun too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ff00;">Maybe we should let gangs of roaming lunatics burn Congress members?</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#00ff00;">Or the deer that kicked the crap out of that guy on When Animals Attack.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">I wonder what kind of critter is going to make an attempt on Obama?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#00ffff;">Probably whatever dog they buy for use as a publicity gimmick.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Join us, won&#8217;t you&#8230; </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>For another exciting episode of;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-175" title="wtf" src="http://thenewspaysitsdues.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/wtf.jpg?w=500" alt="wtf"   /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Now, I know that you guys have heard the rumor, started by the likes of Pat Robertson, that aside from being spawned under a rock, in Richard Nixon&#8217;s Western White House garden, I&#8217;m also illiterate, and don&#8217;t read too good, either&#8230; </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">But&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell reports that among the guests at Barack Obama&#8217;s inauguration may be three boys from Los Angeles County, California, who broke into a house and beat up the old lady inside. Doctors said that the &#8220;old lady&#8221; was beaten so severely, that authorities feared she might suffer permanent brain damage.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">No, I&#8217;m not kidding. This has actually been verified, through &#8220;reliable sources.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The little bastards&#8230; um&#8230; er&#8230; perps are inmates at Camp Afflerbaugh in LaVerne, Calif., a program for juvenile offenders that aims &#8220;to reunify the minor and family, to reintegrate the minor into the community and to assist the minor in achieving a productive, crime free life.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">In other words, it&#8217;s a summer camp for under-aged felons, who aren&#8217;t old enough to be sent to prison, where they belong.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">An Afflerbaugh employee tells Mitchell, in the columnist&#8217;s words, &#8220;that on Thursday, the minors were taken to be measured for tuxedos and that a judge has approved the trip&#8221;:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">That same employee was heard to exclaim; &#8220;Merry Christmas to all, and to all&#8230;&#8221; Wait&#8230; that&#8217;s not it&#8230; &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe that they would do that for three criminals who assaulted an old lady in her home!&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>What in the hell is Obama thinking?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">These &#8220;youth boot camps&#8221; are usually run by hard-nosed jarheads who love to entertain the troops, while they bludgeon them into shape. I can just hear the exercise chants now&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>&#8220;Kill your neighbors, harm your friend,  you&#8217;ll get to the White House in the end&#8230;&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of all the kids Obama&#8217;s people could have chosen to help celebrate Obama&#8217;s inauguration, they choose three street thugs who tried to kill a senior citizen during a home invasion robbery. What the hell is this world coming to?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>(Picture lexinator shaking his head&#8230;)</em></span></p>
<h5 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em><span style="color:#000000;">And for the curious, or the Republicans, among you&#8230; this isn&#8217;t an &#8220;Obama&#8221; thing, it&#8217;s a &#8220;stupidity&#8221; thing&#8230;</span><br />
</em></span></h5>

<p>I remember wanting a bike, a new telescope, and something that didn&#8217;t resemble my mother&#8217;s cooking&#8230; anything. That woman couldn&#8217;t cook her way out of a paper bag!</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>But folks, times are changing faster than you can say &#8220;Obama&#8217;s yo mama!&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p>Kids just aren&#8217;t the same anymore. They used to want GI Joe&#8217;s, and Hot Wheels, and (gasp!) puppies. Now, they want guns, bombs, and weapons of mass destruction.</p>
<p>And this means that even the Christmas Carols must change&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;All I want for Christmas is my blued front peep (sight)&#8230;&#8221;</p>

<p>And to think I can remember when Santa didn’t even approve of Red Rider BB Guns because, “You’ll shoot your eye out.”</p>
<p>But fear not! Help is on the way! (Courtesy of the St. Louis Dispatch!)</p>

<p>Happy Hunting, you little bastards! Oy Vay!</p>
