"Laughing while you’re driving is now against the law in the police state. As Nigel Bunyan from the Telegraph reports:
Motorist stopped by police for laughing
A motorist was stopped by a police officer and questioned because he was laughing at the wheel. Gary Saunders, a company director, was using a hands-free phone when he burst out laughing at a joke told by his brother-in-law, who he was talking to. A few moments later he noticed a traffic officer flashing his lights at him and gesticulating at him to stop his Renault. When Mr Saunders got out of his car, the policeman told him: "Laughing while driving a car can be an offence."…
The officer spent half an hour questioning his suspect before reluctantly allowing him to carry on his way. However, he took another hour-and-a-half of Mr Saunders' time by ordering him to produce his licence and other documents at a police station. Mr Saunders, the managing director of Spontex Workwear, of Liverpool, said the delay meant that he missed an important appointment. "I couldn't believe it when he told me I'd been pulled over for laughing," he said.
"I was driving very safely in the Birkenhead Tunnel and took a call. "He said something funny and I was laughing - simple as that. I never took my eyes off the road and was in full control of the car. I definitely wasn't speeding so I asked what the problem was and he told me I was laughing too much."…
The report gets funny when the officer demanded to know the color of his hair.
Mr. Saunders is bald. "

Wait till some moonbat sees that truck. I can just hear the conversation:
Moonbat "You're a racist for having that on your truck!!!!! Give him a chance he's trying!!!!"(sobbing uncontrollably).
Owner of truck (SLAP). "Get a hold of yourself fella, it will be ok" (Thinking to himself) "Damn no wonder he got elected,not a brain in the bunch"." I 'm glad I raised my kids and didn't leave it to the public school system".
Drives off.
If anyone wants to continue the adventures of a real American please feel free I've got to get back to work.

And another thing: it is quite obvious that the words "big ass" are a blatantly racist allusion to steatopygia, a condition normal in sub-Saharan African women.

I had no idea that Barry Obama was a woman from sub-Saharan Africa! Thanks for letting us know.

puffdaddy, you are quite right that Barry O. is not of the "female" "gender". However, we should not forget that gender is merely a pernicious construct that ultimately flows from the oppressive discourse that furthers the male white capitalist hegemony. What I meant was that the mere fact of framing the words "big ass" in such a hate-speech acronym is a particularly brutal and insensitive form of disrespect directed at steatopygous African wimmin, and as such can be framed within such an oppressive hegemonic discourse.

Anonymous - Bine v-am gasit (the traditional reply to Bine ati venit (= welcome) in Romanian).
However, the mere fact that I am here is indicative of a vestigial reactionary mindset that I shall obviously have to eradicate by means of a prolonged sensitivity training course, psychotherapy, and frequent multicultural diversity awareness "workshops" if I am to avoid causing offence to any of the racial or sexual minorities oppressed by the white male hegemonic monoculture of which I am part. In this way, I hope eventually to rid myself of every last trace of what the poststructuralists call "phallogocentric discourse".

Nope! Read the law. It says that the members of a parish may, with the permission of the bishop, set up a board in order to oversee and direct the economic affairs of the local Catholic Church. This program is voluntary, it doesn't involve the government beyond filing a form that most businesses have to file, and it requires the bishop to first agree to it.

Speaking of the Catholic Church, I wandered by a priest at some point and he said I should be nicer to people for Lent. So, I just wanted to tell you guys that while I don't really like you and I don't agree with you all the time, that I really have a lot of respect for you. You're exercising your right to free speech and not shutting down any but the most obvious of trolls. Also, you are really dedicated to your position and generally want the best for the US. So, I thank you guys for being vigilant.

Dear Iordy: You say, "...I hope eventually to rid myself of every last trace of what the poststructuralists call "phallogocentric discourse"."
I certainly hope you realize you'll have to rid yourself of any further nasty inclination to watch old episodes of Beavis 'n Butthead! Most of us wimmin/womyn and other feminazi types are greatly offended by them.

Obama excuses his socialism by attempting to pass the buck (with plenty of uh uh uhs all around)
"It wasn’t on my watch. And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement -– the prescription drug plan -- without a source of funding. And so I think it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word 'socialist' around can’t say the same."

One sixth of taxpayer-funded stimulus jobs to go to illegal aliens
Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.
Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs, or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create.
They fault Congress for failing to require that employers certify legal immigration status of workers before hiring by using a Department of Homeland Security program called E-Verify. The program allows employers to check the validity of Social Security numbers provided by new hires. It is available to employers on a voluntary basis.

TESTING OBAMA
Macbeth: “Is this a dagger which I see before me…” Macbeth (II, i, 33)
I doubt President Obama sees any daggers, real or imagined, but he may see tests before him, tests which could serve as daggers at America’s throat.
VP Biden, before he was VP Biden, had warned that tests would happen. See “Is Biden’s ‘Test’ on the Near Horizon . . . http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=876 and “Testing Obama,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=626.
Back in October, the prescient Joe said, “We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember, I said it standing here, if you don’t remember anything else I said: Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
Pal Joey apparently was forthwith muzzled, squelched, told to shut up shortly thereafter and never again spoke of testing “the mettle [the character] of this guy,” “this guy” meaning the President Presumptive at the time, Senator Barack Hussein Obama.
Well, that test or tests, international and domestic, in political-speak have been “generated,” in real-speak have “hit the fan,” and we shall shortly see the depth of Obama’s “brilliance” and character.
The domestic testing has been ongoing and is a carryover from the administration of Bush II and mainly, but not exclusively, has consisted of the banking, mortgage, economic mess. Only time will tell whether history assigns Obama, and therefore America, a passing grade.
At this point, Wall Street has evidently decided on a resounding “F” for the new president and for his wonder boy, tax-cheating Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner. Their mindless profligacy in tossing around a trillion here, a trillion there of taxpayer dollars have been met with a clear vote of no confidence and a drop of thousands of points on the Dow.
After being clued in by Bill Clinton, Obama’s suspended his very peculiar gloom and doom, crisis here, crisis there, approach to inspiring Americans in favor of the pep-talky, “Hey, we can do it, folks!” But the damage had already been done.
Main Streeters and Wall Streeters seem to be thinking, Will the real president please stand up and do something constructive? Both should be cautioned not to expect much in that regard since Obama has admitted that he regards the DJIA as nothing more than a “tracking poll” and neither he nor Michelle Obama own any stocks according to their tax returns. So, who cares?
Obama’s other testing fields are overseas, in foreign nations and in international waters and so far he seems to have adopted a very diplomatic, hands-off, do nothing, wait and see approach.
North Korea’s Kim Jong-il, maniacal loose-cannon extraordinaire, thrives on war and rumors of war and gets his jollies by launching missiles and threats, the latest being to shoot down civilian airliners near its airspace and warning of all-out war if we dare to shoot down its satellite: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=44687.
The latest news out of Pyongyang is that the paranoid Kim Jong-il has cut its military hotline with South Korea and is in process of mobilizing his million man army. The reason? Fear of invasion by the United States and South Korea: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/d5d6fd4a-0c60-11de-b87d-0000779fd2ac.html.
It’s as realistic to expect a U.S. invasion of North Korea as it is to expect us to invade Tibet, but realism never enters the equation when it comes to Kim’s thinking.
Iran’s equally unstable nutcase, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
hurls similar threats, threatens missile and nuclear strikes–when Iran’s nuke facilities are up and running– and now demands the United States apologize for 60 years of wrongs against Iran: http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/a/mahmoud_ahmadinejad/index.html
Mahmoud’s very selective memory must have “dis-remembered” when his Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the illegal storming and capture of our Tehran embassy in 1979. I have to assume that he does not consider imprisoning 52 Americans for 444 days as something worthy of an Iranian apology.
There is, however, another explanation, namely that Mahmoud does recall President Jimmy Carter’s, America’s, feckless response to that grave offense and he seriously does expect an apology from President Obama.
He may get it if Obama fails this test.
Iran and North Korea are comparative pipsqueaks on the world stage and their incessant testing could be ended within weeks, or days, if Obama has the nerve to advise both nations that, starting with their leaders, they will be reduced to molten puddles should they dare any funny business.
Fat chance, but hope springs eternal.
More ominous tests, one clearly and intentionally “generated” by a wannabe superpower, the other the result of an inept government allowing drug criminals to go berserk on their own soil, are on Obama’s horizon.
The inept government is that of Mexico’s Felipe Calderon and his ineptitude is a test for Obama only because of Mexico’s 2000 mile border with the United States and the four states immediately adjacent to Mexico and the fact that its criminal element now is overflowing into those states, and further north.
Houston is already feeling the effects...

Anonymous - believe it or not, the word "phallogocentrism" does indeed exist, and is a term frequently to be met in the "discourse" of university professors and students nowadays. It was coined by French "deconstructionist" (this is a fancy term for "nihilist") "thinker" Jacques Derrida. According to moonbat "post-structuralism", the "logos" (including, evidently, the Logos, the Word - John 1:1) is equivalent to the "phallus" in the dark, oppressive history of western philosophy and civilisation in that it "privileges" the masculine meanings and constructs that perpetuate the male hegemony. Derrida recommends that we abandon Meaning and give ourselves up to "the affirmation of a world of signs without fault, without truth, and without origin." In other words, we should give ourselves up to a solipsistic, exhilarated irrationality, in which meaning is endlessly deferred and the mind experiences an endless masturbatory delight in a flux of empty signifiers. And this is how university students, for the last twenty years or so, have been taught to "think". The university has now become an institution that is designed to paralyse and eventually extirpate the capacity for rational thought. ("Phallogocentrism" is just one example of a vast nomenclature that might be regarded as a product of paranoid schizophrenia were it not elevated to the official discourse of modern academia.)

Actually, Steatopygia was more common in male "Basters" than in some women such as the Khoikhoi.
Of course, we all know that the word "Baster" is derived from the Dutch word for "Bastard" (crossbreed).
So perhaps the "big ass" on the truck is really just a well placed subliminal message used to determine the sensory threshold of unsuspecting moonbats.
