April Warning! Anything goes here! (Within reason!)

The "Rate of Unemployment" dropped to a new 4 year low while at the same time, employers are at a near low for hiring. You may ask how is this possible? The answer is that Obama changed the number of unemployed by stopping unemployment for thousands of unemployed workers, thus reducing the rate. This gives him some time until the gap is filled with newly unemployed workers.

From Bloomburg
"Employers in March added the fewest workers in nine months and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low as the share of Americans in the labor force slumped, marking a pause in the job-market recovery."

I suggest a wait and see before adding debt.

Also, on page two....

Obama's proposed budget witll actually reduce Social Security next year and onward by adjusting the Cost of Living rate which is already bogus. However, this one is being fought hard by Dems. You know this is his "attempt at addressing the REAL entitlement problem" so when it fails he can proclaim "I tried compromise but those darn Republicans wouldn't pass it."

As you know America is facing a shortage in general practice doctors whic is expected to worsen as Obamacare takes hold. WalGreens Pharmacy is stepping up it's clinic program staffed by Nurse Practitioners and guess what.... doctors are angry about it. They have been pampered so long as being "special" that they are afraid of loosing their status.

I know when I call my doctor for an appointment I am told the next one is 6 weeks out, followed immediately by you should visit the Urgent Care Center (owned by the medical group) who is staffed by....Nurse Practitioners. Now they want to claim people can be harmed and care will suffer, etc. I say bravo for WalGreens and anybody else that brings medical care to us "ordinary people".

I figger it won't be long until we all hafta get acquainted with "Doc Granny". Actually, if more folks understood that "Granny" can take care of about 25-30% of the little things a lot of folks rush to the free clinic/emergency room for, our system wouldn't be so over stressed. That, and get a handle on the overly extreme liability (aka frivolous lawsuits) issues that all doctors have to deal with when only a tiny minority of quacks are in the system.

Last Fall my bP meds ran out and I called in for a refill. Nope, can't do it without DR's orders. The Doc I use is now affiliated (obviously due to the silly liability thing) with a hospital "group", and the policy of the hospital group is that you can't get a refresh script without seeing the doc at least once a year. I called the Doc's office and the next available "slot" was 4 weeks. My "condition" is very mild and not life threatening so I coulda just let it go, but it really pissed me off so I got in touch with the Doc in person. I was in the next day, we talked med stuff for about two minutes, then talked guns, concealed carry, looked at his pictures from his last "range trip", etc, for the rest of the allotted time. I had my script filled within an hour. We do have a really screwed up medical system now.

BTW - Ol Jfootin has been hanging around over at the S&W forum.

Just so you know that he has divided loyalties.

It's no mystery here that my two favorite guns are my Custom Mirror Polished CM9...



and my Customized J-frame with Gloss Black Duracoat finish and the DA trigger lightened to 4.25 lbs...



So I check out what is going on at the S&W Forum, too. I also own a Taurus TCP. so I visit the TaurusArmed.net Forum(a pretty fun place). And I own a Walther PPQ, so I visit the Walther Forum (interesting because the U.S. sales manager interacts with us about marketing decisions and issues regarding the divorce from S&W).

But KT is still home!

[Bawanna]

Wow, all those guys have forums too? I thought it was just us.

Guess I really did just fall out of turnip truck.

I'm sure Shotgun Joe Biden approves of the creative firearm use.

u know normally I would have sumpin to say about a photo but in this case I will just let everyone think about this photo. Did anyone think that maybe this person is giving birth to this gun and it is almost out.

U know I have heard the ol saying "out ur ass" many times in the past and now maybe we have sumpin to relate to. Just sayin.

Would this be equivalent to water boarding?

You know, I always thought it would have been nice if they had captured Osama Bin Laden alive and put him in a cage at Gitmo. Then a well endowed soldier could visit him hourly and say,
"Hey Osama Bin Laden..." -
glancing down at his package -
"...yo mama, bin proddin!"

I'm a poet and don't know it! Make it rhyme every time! Lord, I'm sorry 'bout that. But that's funny right there, no matter who you are!

I like to respond humorously to TV commercials.

Maybelline has a little musical refrain in all of their commercials: "Maybe it's Maybelline." I always complete the refrain: "Maybe it ain't!" After all, they leave it open to conjecture by using the word 'maybe'.

I have been seeing this TV ad from Vonage for a couple of years, and I always ask these two questions:

1. The dark haired woman tells everyone in the world that her name is Laura Pruden. Why? Why does she think we need to know her name?
2. The blonde woman clears her throat and says, "Why did I not do this earlier?" I have to ask her, "Why did you not hock that lugie earlier, before you started filming that national TV commercial?"

Instant channel surf when that commercial comes on! If I hear her "hawk" one more time.............................................. .................I'm gonna go (you insert favorite phrase)

Actual Craig's List - Funny

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last. I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours, Semper fi,

Edit: Snopes.com says this is totally FALSE! Funny, though!

[jlottmc]

Jfootin, a call to my DA's office with ANY kind of threat right now will get a quick and likely unpleasant response. Then again, look at the news and see what hasn't long happened in my county.
