A man takes a balloon ride at a local country fair. A fierce wind suddenly kicks up, causing the balloon to violently leave the fair and carry its occupant out into the countryside. The man has no idea where he is, so he goes down to five meters above ground and asks a passing wanderer: "Excuse me, sir, can you tell me where I am?"
Eyeing the man in the balloon the passer-by says: "You are in a downed red balloon, five meters above ground."
The balloon's unhappy resident replied, "You must be an economist."
"How could you possible know that?" asked the passer-by.
"Because your answer is technically correct but absolutely useless, and the fact is I am still lost".
"Then you must be in the government", said the passer-by.
"That's right! How did you know?"
"You have such a good view from where you are, and yet you don't know where you are and you don't know where you are going. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now your problem is somehow my fault!"
1. Did you hear how the “Yes We Can” slogan came to be? Well a reporter asked Obama, can you fool the nation in thinking your a moderate, Obama answered, “Yes we Can.” Another reporter asked, can you convince all the reporters to ignore your association with known terrorists? “Yes we can!”. Another reporter asked can you nationalize the banks? “Yes we can”.
2. How many democrats does it take to change a burned out light bulb? None, democrats believe the bulb can’t change if its not a CFL.
3. Why was Obama so mad when he heard about the AIG bonuses? Because so many at AIG got a larger bonus from AIG than he did.
4. How does Obama win the war on terror? He renames it! Its now the overseas contingency operation.
5. Did you hear about the reporter who asked Obama a hard question? Neither have we!
6. Actually there was a reporter who asked Obama a really hard question. The question was, does he want his water plain or with a slice of lemon.
7. How many democrats does it take to change a light bulb? 5! Al Gore to insure it’s a CFL, and EPA agent in case the blub breaks and a mercury cleanup is necessary, a person to bail out the home owner, an ACORN member to insure that the right person changed the bulb, and a member of the media to celebrate the change.
8. How can a person get bailed out by Obama? Is it by 1. being a member of ACORN, 2. contributing to the campaign funds of the democrats, 3. being irresponsible, 4. supporting liberal anti-American causes, 5. all of the above? The answer is 5-all of the above.
9. What does CNN stand for? Communist News Network.
10. What does ABC stand for? All Barack Channel.
11. What does NBC stand for? Now Barack Channel.
12. What's the difference between God and Obama? God doesn’t think He’s Obama.
13. Why won’t Obama release his birth certificate? He hasn’t decided where he was born.
14. The good news about Obamas inauguration was that of the two million people who showed up, only 10 of them had to call off work.
15. What's the difference between Karl Marx and Obama? Nobody knows.
16. How can you tell a Conservative home owner apart from a Democratic home owner? Ask who is paying the Mortgage. The Conservative will point to himself, and the democrat will also point at the conservative.
17. Democrats and liberals always say they are smarter than conservatives. If that is true, then why do democrats always have problems in filling out a ballot. 18 19 20. What do Obama and financial scam artist have in common? They both say “yes we can”, they both give hope, they both take your money, they both will leave you penny-less in the end. 21. What do you call a gathering of terrorists, financial scam artists, tax dodgers, and sexual predators? A democratic convention. 22. How do you scare a democrat? Say your a gainfully employed church going family man.

Anyway, great Friday Y’all.
Here’s the version of Tico Tico we had on 78 RPM (by Xavier Cugat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuFy82WX3u8&list=PLUT3geolYVg7Tt7LDbu89B0MWJTbk2lQX&index=5
It’s got a nice long instrumental intro, then a female vocal.
Feel free to sing along:
Oh, Tico Tico, Tick
Oh, Tico Tico, Tock
This Tico Tico, he’s the cuckoo in my clock.
And when he says “cuckoo”,
He means it’s time to woo,
It’s Tico time for all the lovers in the block.
I’ve got a heavy date,
A tete a tete at eight,
So speak, Oh Tico, tell me if it’s getting late?
If I’m on time, cuckoo,
But if I’m late, woo-woo!
The one my heart is gone to may not want to wait!
For just a birdie, and a birdie who goes nowhere,
He knows of every lover’s lane and how to go there;
For in affairs of the heart
My Tico’s terribly smart,
He says “Go gently, sentiment’ly at the start!”
Oh, Oh, I hear my little Tico Tico calling
Because the time is right and shades of night are falling.
I love that not-so-cuckoo cuckoo in the clock,
Tico Tico Tico Tico Tico Tock!!!
TOP 30 !!! (Oh, the shame)
Good morning!!!! The end of a two day work week. President’s Day, then the base was closed because of the snow. 9 degrees this AM with wind chills below 0 here in Norfolk.
And my friend who lives in Yuma, AZ is bragging on Facebook about 88 degrees and sunny weather.
Is Groundhog season open? I want to shot that little SOB.
TOP 30!
Sorry about the double posts!
Arizon doubles its efforts to re-build!
