It's a-comin'........

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in the Bozeman , Montana airport, while waiting for their respective flights..

One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at University of Montana in Missoula from the Middle East ....

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face, and lights a cigarette.

Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, 'At one time here... my people were many... but sadly, now we are few.'

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward,
'Once my people were few,' he sneers, 'and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?'


The cowboy removes his cigarette from his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl . . .

'I reckon that's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, But I do believe , it's a-comin'

No Quarter..... I Hope This Family Wins Big...

   LAS VEGAS (CN) - Henderson police arrested a family for refusing to let officers use their homes as lookouts for a domestic violence investigation of their neighbors, the family claims in court.
     Anthony Mitchell and his parents Michael and Linda Mitchell sued the City of Henderson, its Police Chief Jutta Chambers, Officers Garret Poiner, Ronald Feola, Ramona Walls, Angela Walker, and Christopher Worley, and City of North Las Vegas and its Police Chief Joseph Chronister, in Federal Court.
     Henderson, pop. 257,000, is a suburb of Las Vegas.
     The Mitchell family's claim includes Third Amendment violations, a rare claim in the United States. The Third Amendment prohibits quartering soldiers in citizens' homes in times of peace without the consent of the owner.
     "On the morning of July 10th, 2011, officers from the Henderson Police Department responded to a domestic violence call at a neighbor's residence," the Mitchells say in the complaint.



......


    Police took Anthony and Michael Mitchell to jail and booked them for obstructing an officer. They were jailed for at least nine hours before they bailed out, they say in the complaint. All criminals charged were dismissed with prejudice. They claim the defendants filed the baseless criminal charges "to provide cover for defendants' wrongful actions, to frustrate and impede plaintiffs' ability to seek relief for those actions, and to further intimidate and retaliate against plaintiffs."
     None of the officers were ever subjected to official discipline or even inquiry, the complaint states.
     The Mitchells seek punitive damages for violations of the third, fourth and 14th Amendments, assault and battery, conspiracy, defamation, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, negligence and emotional distress.
     They are represented by Benjamin C. Durham, with Cofer, Geller & Durham, in Las Vegas.

Fourth of July, a Fifth of Patron
Celebrating it with all the girls that we know
Yeah, today is the day they put paper to quill

Super Soaker fights, but nobody is getting me
Fleeing from that water like my name was Ted Kennedy
It's the land of the free, we put paper to quill
and said the government can't be all up in your grill, cuz I--

Couple Sex........

An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather, who was working in the yard and asked him, "Grandpa, what is a couple sex?

The grandfather was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decided that if she's old enough to know to ask the question then she's old enough to get a straight answer.
 
Steeling himself to leave nothing out, he proceeded to tell her all about human reproduction and the joys and responsibilities that go along with it.
 
When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open, eyes wide in amazement. Seeing the look on her face, the grandfather asked her, "Why did you ask this question, honey?
 
The little girl replied, "Well, Grandma says to tell you that dinner will be ready in just a couple secs.

California Cops Arrest Man For Videotaping on A Public Street Then Shoot And Kill His Dog...

By Carlos Miller
In one of the most shocking videos I’ve seen since launching this blog six years, ago, Hawthorne police shot and killed a dog while arresting the dog’s owner for video recording them from a half-block away on a public sidewalk.
Several cops were standing in front of a house halfway down the block, apparently to make an arrest over the weekend, while a man walking his dog was video recording them from the corner.
A group of other citizens were recording from across the street and captured the entire exchange, including the arrest of the man and killing of his dog.

Poor Stanley.....

Stanley died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best deer hunting friends, Cooter and Gomer. The three men had always hunted and fished together and were long time members of a hunting camp.

 

Cooter arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet, Cooter said, "Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad.  You better roll him over." The mortician rolled him over and Cooter said, "Nope, ain't Stanley ."

 

The mortician thought this was rather strange, So he brought Gomer in to confirm the identity of the body.  Gomer looked at the body and said, "Yup, he's pretty well burnt up.  Roll him over." The mortician rolled him over and Gomer said, "No, it ain't Stanley."

 

The mortician asked, "How can you tell?"  Gomer said, "Well, Stanley had two ass-holes."  "What! He had two ass-holes?" asked the mortician.  "Yup, we never seen 'em, but everybody used to say, There's Stanley with them two ass-holes."

 

Cooter and Gomer are both now employed in the Obama administration.  One in the Cincinnati IRS office and the other in the Justice Department.
