In honor of the late Ted Kennedy, I dedicate today's silliness to him. While many applaud his life, a look at Ted Kennedy quotes from his past show his progressive stance, humor, and pretty much no fear of repercussions. **If it were a matter of mere political disagreement, we would join the calls to strike a conciliatory tone and mourn the death of Sen. Edward Kennedy. But we do a disservice to him and the country to call him anything but what he was. Ted Kennedy was not a good man and we mourn the damage (or worse) he did both to individuals and to America (**last sentiment from Patriot Post editor, but well said).
"What we have in the United States is not so much a health-care system as a disease-care system" ~ Ted Kennedy on health care reform for which he campaigned throughout his life, 1994
"With Barack Obama, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion. With Barack Obama we will close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group, and straight against gay" ~ Ted Kennedy endorsing Barack Obama for president, January 2008.
Those are great. Some good taglines in there.
“-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...”
Here’s a local one that I don’t understand. Here in Norfolk, VA if the speed limit on a street is 30 or above the school zone speed limit is 25. But if the speed limit on the street is 25, then the school zone limit is 15. And it doesn’t matter if it’s an elementary, middle, or high school.
Why is 25 fine for some schools, but 15 is for others?
My favorite is the ninja.

Make up your mind, please.

20 mph.
Yeah, reminds me of my nights of “hogger hunting” when I was a single Navy sailor.

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer.
Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.
Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls.
If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here’s a valuable tip: your life is in trouble.
Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.
The term “mulligan” is really a contraction of the phrase “maul it again.”
A “gimme” can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ... neither of whom can putt very well.
An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse.
Golf’s a hard game to figure. One day you’ll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.
If your best shots are the practice swing and the “gimme putt,” you might wish to reconsider this game.
Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.
Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won’t work, and both are expensive.
The best wood in most amateurs’ bags is the pencil.
Husband and wife are in bed together.
She feels his hand rubbing her shoulder.
She: “Oh, that feels good.”
His hand moves to her breast.
She: “Gee, honey, that feels wonderful.”
His hand moves to her leg.
She: “Oh, honey, don’t stop.”
But he stops.
She: “Why did you stop?”
He: “I found the remote.”

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden.
He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little
girl was.
Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the
wonders of nature through such innocent eyes.
Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground.
He went over to her to see what work of God had captured
her attention.
He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.
“Daddy, what are those two spider things doing?” she asked.
“They’re mating,” her father replied.
“What do you call the spider on top?” she asked.
“That’s a Daddy Longlegs,” her father answered.
“So, the other one is a Mummy Longlegs?” the little girl
asked.
As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and
innocent question he replied,
“No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.”
The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a
moment, then took her foot and stomped them flat.
“Well, we’re not having any of that gay sh*t in our garden

SEX WITH AN OLDER MAN
When George Burns was 97 years old he was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, Oprah asked,’ Mr. Burns, how do you carry so much energy with you? You are always working and at your age I think that is remarkable.’
Mr. Burns said, ‘I just take good care of myself and enjoy what I do when I do it.’
Oprah said, ‘I understand you still do the sex thing, even at your age.’
George said, ‘Of course I still do the sex thing, and I am quite good at it.’
Oprah said, ‘I have never been with an older man, would you do it with me?’
So they had sex and when they finished Oprah said, ‘I just don’t believe I have never been so satisfied, you are a remarkable man.’
George said, ‘The second time is even better than the first time.”
Oprah said, ‘You can really do it again at your age?’
George said, ‘Just let me sleep for 1/2 hour. You hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me up in thirty minutes.’
When she woke him up, they again had great sex, and Oprah was beside herself with joy.
She said, ‘Oh Mr. Burns, I am astounded that you could do a repeat performance and have it be better than the first time. At your age, Oh My, Oh My!!!’
George said that the third time would be even better. ‘You just hold my testicles in your left hand and my penis in your right hand and wake me in thirty minutes.’
Oprah said, ‘Does me holding you like that kind of recharge your batteries?’
George said, ‘No, but the last time I had sex with a black woman she stole my wallet.’
Hey, that was the 'nuc rule' in the Navy. Naval Nuclear Power is full of really, really bright guys who drank away their college money and had to get a job. Many of them are the stereotypical "memorized the encyclopedia but can't start a car" type, thus 50-50-90.
Words of wisdom.....
On marriage -
“Marry a woman who can cook. The sex will wear off but you’ll always be hungry.”
On exercise -
“If you see me running that means the laxative’s working.”
- Rodney Dangerfield
Rodney once said, “They say when you have sex you lose 200 calories. The last time I had sex I lost more than that. I lost 200 calories, my watch and my wallet!”
