FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES....

These are great because they are similar to jokes that my husband and I make about like, oh, "Go-Daddy" commercials and those phone dating service commercials.... We make jokes about them like these... However, some of the language....Well, this isn't language I would sit through with your kid. Not unless you want to have an impromptu discussion of the facts of life.
And if it offends you, then I blame Pete Yates....*wink*

If your not an adult and your looking at this...WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW THAT YOUR USING THE COMPUTER FOR THIS!?! Shame on you! This is grown up stuff!!! Shame! Hide your head in Shame....Go watch music video's!

Prison warns convict over fart 'attacks'

 

MALMO, Sweden, March 25 (UPI) -- The warden of a Swedish jail said a prisoner received an official warning for voicing his discontent toward his situation via flatulence.

 

"I had an upset stomach while I was playing cards but did not want to fart there. So I went over to the guards instead," he was quoted as saying.

 

The prisoner was issued an official warning and could face punishment for any future attacks of intentional flatulence, Eriksson said.

Sarah Plain and Stupid

Sarah Palin is one of those people who when you hear her talk you just cringe and wait for the stupidity to roll off her tongue.

In an apparent reference to reports this week of threats and vandalism aimed at Democratic leaders and their property, Palin said, "We are not inciting violence.

"When they're trying to keep you from speaking out (and I get this from my dad), don't retreat, just reload."
I can't say much about our vice president right now though because he's pulled some real boners also..

Health care reform isn't just a big deal, it's a "big f---ing deal."

At least, that's what Vice President Joe Biden thinks.

The 67-year-old former senator introduced President Obama prior to his signing of the historic health care reform bill into law on Tuesday, and let the colorful word slip while shaking the commander-in-chief's hand.

"You did it," Biden told his boss. "It's a big f---ing deal."

Police eventually arrived, and attempted to detain the man and get him clothed again - at which point the man hid under a police van and refused to come out.

He was eventually retrieved from under the vehicle by police officers and medical staff.

Budweiser American Lager Purchased At Tavern

 ST. LOUIS—An educated gentleman of discerning tastes entered a reputable public house Tuesday, whereupon he reportedly purchased a Budweiser American Lager. 'The crisp smoothness of this beer must come from its use of the choicest rice,' said the gentleman, who after expertly swirling the bottle in his hand took note of an aroma that he presumed to be the legacy of many generations of brew masters and their uncompromising adherence to a classic recipe of five all-natural ingredients. 'And the distinct character of this lager is no doubt the product of its exclusive beech wood aging process. Truly, this is a king of beers.' Following the consumption of his eighth bottle, the gentleman excused himself, made his way into the lavatory, and vomited into a urinal.

I Wasn't Going To Buy This House Until I Saw the Realtor's Headshot on the Sign

Buying a house is one of the biggest decisions a person can make, so when I set out to purchase my first home, I didn't take the matter lightly. Sure, the place I ended up with isn't in the greatest shape, or even in the best part of town. And by any fair market estimate of its value, I certainly overpaid.

But as far as I was concerned, the deal was sealed the moment I saw real estate agent Mary T. Ellington looking back at me from that Re/Max sign, her face just barely visible over the rampant weeds growing in my new front lawn. For my money—$256,560 of it, to be exact—there's nothing like a poorly lit, oversaturated photograph to let me know that I'm working with a friend and not just someone out for an easy commission.

Michigan....*ahem*......Headlines


UPDATE: Gov. tries to soothe over 'Meatout Day'

All vegetarian- all the time....

Okay, I am a Dem....I'm email receiving, believing in health care for all, thinking that the government should be taking care of all those who are old, weak, sick and in-firmed-Dem.
That being said, this right up here <see above hyper-linked article>....Not a good idea.
I'm all for vegetarianism. I am. If you want to be a vegetarian, I am going to fight for your right to not eat meat..... And then I am going to get a hamburger from Wendy's.
Because that is my right. Do not, even for the sake of trying to stem the current tide of overweight people in America- tell me to eat vegetables for one whole day. I will eat vegetables when I darn well please. Sorry. Next please....

The woman is a genius. So is my dad. So were some of the people that he worked with, who wore different unmatched socks to work everyday because they were too busy being hyper-intelligent to match up their socks and too busy being smart to find someone to marry because all their brains also made them socially impaired. They thus went without having someone to match up their socks in the era of "making-sure-your-socks-were-matched-correctly...Cause-it-made-you-not-crazy" and were therefore doomed to be societal misfits.

Like my dad is sometimes.

Being a genius doesn't make you right all the fricken time. Case in point...My dad.
But I'm not going into that right now.
Being a genius doesn't make you a good governor.

Clearly.

Being a Dem (and I'm choking on this people) does not make you a good governor.....Sometimes.

Case in point....<See above hyper-linked article>

Mortalitas in prosapia


My Uncle Clare Shrum died on Friday night.

I got a call Friday night that my dad's brother was being taken off life support. We didn't even know he was in the hospital till that last night-although we knew he was battling cancer. I was sure my dad would fly to Portland, Ore. to be at his funeral but this morning when I called him to ask him to include me if he was flying out there he told me he wasn't going. He said he told his brother everything he needed to say last time he talked to him. He told me it was too expensive to fly out there. And I told him, "Dad, I will pay for you to fly out there if that's the problem. I can do this, I can make this happen for you." and he said, "I appreciate that Sharon (my dad always calls me Sharon when he's trying to get a point across) but we said our goodbyes."
Apparently my brother offered to fly out with them and he told him the same thing.

I thought about the fact that I would not miss my brothers funeral if I had to go out there by Pony Express. I imagined the hurt and pain my grandmother would feel if she only knew.


It was dark and cold Saturday, although there was nearly no snow left on the ground. I made a carrot cake because I needed a little comfort food and I thought of my Grandma Shrum and how she baked all the time and it was always something scratch it seemed until her later years. The smell of cinnamon in the house helped me cope and made me think of her.

I sat in my office and sobbed pretty much all day...And then my cats started to gather around me, and my one cat jumped into the window next to my desk and looked at me typing. It's funny how kitty's know when your sad, because my cat was right there for me to lean my head on and she has a big black, soft, coat and she was just sitting in the window next to me allowing me to invade her space.

I one time asked my mom if she thought my cat loved me and she said, "He loves you as much as a cat can love."

"Pizza Friday" night and I was crying in the car, and my son tried to hug me and every once in a while he would brush a tear from my cheek. I told him he was such a nice boy.
The world goes on...It keeps spinning. People keep buying and selling, cats keep meowing, boys keep sleeping, babies keep smiling, diminished somewhat by that one person who is absent in the world.

Outrage over Seven Hills West Public School putting autistic children in cage

Or butt wipes on parade...
Click on the title above to read the whole story....
  • Autistic children kept in fenced area
  • Treatment inhumane, says NSW Opposition
  • Matter of safety, says Education Department

A SYDNEY primary school that pens children with autism in a fenced area at lunchtimes should be investigated for human rights violations, the New South Wales Opposition says.

Parents with children at Seven Hills West Public School are angry that pupils with special needs are placed inside a fenced enclosure that has one tree, a bench and a dirt floor.

"To see the type of facility which autistic children are being penned in is outrageous," he said.

"I've seen cattle yards in better condition.

"You cannot treat children with autism in this way.

"I think it is in breach of every anti-discrimination act in the country."

The Department of Education said in a statement the enclosure was set up after parents raised safety issues.

"The school is located on a busy road. Without this area, the students may leave the school grounds and could potentially be injured," the department said.
(And they can't seem to find one on one aids to be with them because?)
"Some of these children have no sense of boundaries and do not respond to staff asking them to stop.(So get the one on one aid....)
Once the school is satisfied a student will listen to directions from staff members and is also aware of playground boundaries, the child can use the playground."

The department said any student in the school could use this area if they chose.(Maybe...If it's Wednesday....And there was an "R" in it?)

"The area is never locked and students are supervised by a school learning support officer (what otherwise known as gestapo?)at all times," it added.


They should be put in a fenced in area with a tree and a bench and told to stay there until they learn how to act like human beings.

And I hope it rains.

Girl Welcomed To Womanhood With 4-Page Pamphlet

CLEARWATER, KS—'Cramps are a natural part of your new monthly visitor,' a sentence halfway down the first page read, one of roughly a half dozen upbeat mentions of menstruation-related discomfort that greeted Vanessa McMillan as she reached her amazing milestone.

Nation Shudders At Large Block Of Uninterrupted Text

March 9, 2010 | Issue 46•10

WASHINGTON—Unable to rest their eyes on a colorful photograph or boldface heading that could be easily skimmed and forgotten about, Americans collectively recoiled Monday when confronted with a solid block of uninterrupted text.

Dumbfounded citizens from Maine to California gazed helplessly at the frightening chunk of print, unsure of what to do next. Without an illustration, chart, or embedded YouTube video to ease them in, millions were frozen in place, terrified by the sight of one long, unbroken string of English words.

Ball Movement Making Dirk Nowitzki Nauseous

DALLAS—During last Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns, Mavericks center Dirk Nowitzki reportedly told teammates that he 'needed a sec' after a possession featuring quick-paced perimeter passing made him nauseous. 'Oh jeez, I think I'm gonna throw up.'

Palin Crossed Border For Canadian Health Care

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.

Reasons why I need a scanner...

An Isabella County man is looking at possible assault charges after he barricaded himself in his home with a gun and hurt a woman. Police say the suspect threatened to shoot police and they had to evacuate the neighborhood.
____________________

Okay, here's my thing. I use to be a substitute aid for the schools in Isabella county and I worked with high risk kids and kids with special needs, and for some reason they gave me kids with emotional impairments (like I could actually deal with kids with emotional impairments-I mean, I'm emotionally impaired myself). Anyway, one of things I told kids when they bragged about how they were going to rob a bank or some such ridiculousness is this certain and undeniable fact:
"If they catch you in the act they will shoot you- or they will hunt you down. Because the police have nothing better to do than, give traffic citations, take care of idiots at the casino, deal with student crap at The University and hunt your butt down."
And in this county they not only have state police, they have the campus cops, they have the reservation cops, and they have the city police. Who's it gonna be?
You can't and won't win.
Everyone knows everyone else, and everyone is looking out their windows. You can't swing a dead, pickled cat and not hit a cop.
It's like the worst place in the world to be a villain.

Which is why they are all in Gotham city and Metropolis hangin out with my dad.

WTF? Sad part is that I personally love those restaurants. And to be honest, it's surprising more breasts haven't been seen there in the wee hours of the morning after many deleterious effects of beverages and a lot of fried dead chicken appendages.

FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES!

YIKES!

Here's another good one:

German police summoned over forgotten vibrator

 It's a back massager....Nothing more....

BERLIN (AFP) – A woman in Germany phoned police after hearing "suspicious noises" in her flat, but much to her embarrassment officers found the source was a vibrator, authorities said Friday.

 

The noise was so loud and strange, even over the telephone, that police in Bochum in western Germany decided to send a patrol car around to the "scene of the crime", a statement said.

Kin you imagine?

FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES!!! ...And other bits and bites!

YOU MEAN NOT ONLY IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN!

FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES!!!
Out of the Florida Keys.... 

FHP: Driver lacked razor-sharp focus

 

BY ADAM LINHARDT Citizen Staff
alinhardt@keysnews.com
 

As authorities nationwide warn motorists of the dangers of driving while texting, Florida Keys law enforcement officers add a new caution: Don't try to shave your privates, either.

 

Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 on Cudjoe Key was caused by a 37-year-old woman driver who was shaving her bikini area while her ex-husband took the wheel from the passenger seat.

 

"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," Trooper Gary Dunick said. "If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it. About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot ... who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, 'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it."..........................And it goes on like that.......

Yikes!
Ponzi scheme targeted MI churches

DETROIT -- The following is a message from the OFIR:

The Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (OFIR) announced today that it has taken action against a multi-million dollar Detroit-area Ponzi scheme. The agency determined that Michael Winans, Jr. was the ringleader of a multi-level scheme that used the family name and connections in the Detroit religious community to gain access to and prey on church members through a fraudulent crude oil bond investment program.

My Constituents Care Way More About Political Gamesmanship Than Jobs, Health Care, And The Economy....

It is my responsibility as an elected official to look out for the people back home, the voters who sent me to Washington. So, after 20 years representing Ohio's 8th District, I know what the good citizens of Montgomery, Preble, and Butler counties really want: someone who engages in the kind of calculated political gamesmanship that increases his standing in the Republican party while simultaneously hindering our country's legislative process at every conceivable turn.

Michigan Headlines

Woodstock is plowing out random citizens!




FROM THE DESK OF PETE YATES!!



I love these points...
His porcine complexion verging on crimson, Beck called that concept of "community" a "cancer" that "is not our founders' idea of America" — somehow forgetting the notions of community and solidarity inherent in the founders' "Join or Die" motto.

But ignorance, no matter how embarrassing, doesn't get in Beck's way. To wild applause, he labeled this alleged tumor of "community" the supposedly evil "progressivism" — and he told disciples to "eradicate it" from the nation.
No doubt, some conservatives will parse, insisting Beck was only endorsing the "eradication" of progressivism but not of progressives. These same willful ignoramuses will also likely say that the Nazis' beef was with Judaism but not Jews, and that white supremacists dislike African-American culture but have no problem with black people.


I love the imagery here:

And so we finally see tyranny's hideous image within our midst: It's not a tightly cropped mustache in a beige uniform; it's a clean-shaven baby face in a suit — a rodeo clown with a chalkboard who unfortunately speaks for modern-day conservatism.
