Hey Anthony……..
I’ll spend this evening with a scotch ……..listening to the Alman Brothers.
Blessings to you and your family.

Well….I didn’t know Anthony…..but what I’ve learned about him makes me smile….One more person you’ve made a difference to………..
I would not presume to be able to share the sadness his family and close friends feel……There is one thing about Anthony that really stands out…….. I am overwhelmed by the fondness….and the joy….. with which you all remember him.
If you go to Legacy….you can get to know Anthony a little. It is full of love and fond memories. Anthony seems to have impacted so many people in ways they will never forget.They carry him with them every day…. and while sadness overtakes them from time to time, the thought of him usually makes them smile.
I want to thank your wife Ana, your daughter Amanda, your son Matthew, your mom and dad, your brothers, the guys you played with, and your other friends and collegues for allowing me to get to know you a little. You all were lucky to have Anthony in your lives as he was lucky to have you in his.
I do not know if Anthony’s family and friends will read this today…..but others will….
So I will tell you a little about him.
Anthony was a son, a brother, a husband, a dad, a friend, and a bass player. He worked as a broker for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor of WTC 1…. He was 38 years old. Anthony was the middle of three sons.
Anthony had been with Cantor Fitzgerald just over a year. He was a bright spot to his collegues and friends at work. Many of them say how much they looked forward to seeing him every day……that says a lot about a person.
And a Jets fan……not just a jets fan, but a JETS FAN. Way to go Anthony!….some brats, a grill….you know how to spend a Sunday afternoon.
But the thing that was one of the true loves of his life was his music. Anthony was a Bass player. He played a Fender bass. Smokey bars, loud music, good times, and a love of music was something he shared with everyone around him. I grew up with the Allman Brothers…and now, when I hear ‘em, they will always sound a little better to me. Members of both the bands he played in - the Other Brothers, which played Allman Brothers Band music, and No Requests, a group of co-workers - performed at tributes in his honor.
I will say he is loved and missed by his family and friends and is in their hearts every day….to this day.
Yep, that’s Anthony. How many of us can say that?

British Yachtsman Who Counted On Global Warming to Cross Arctic Now Trapped by Ice

British yachtsman Adrian Flanagan attempted to be the first to sail across the arctic north of Russia. He based his hope on the fact that he believed in the Global Warming propaganda that the arctic is rapidly losing its ice thus making his trip possible. One little problem. Cold cruel reality has crushed the Global Warming hype and now Flanagan’s boat is trapped by ice in the arctic. To add to the irony, Flanagan who seems to be destined to go down in history as Wrong Way Flanagan, is now pleading with Russian authorities to provide him with the services of a nuclear powered icebreaker to get him out of his embarrassing situation.
Flanagan announced his trip in an August 18th article titled:
‘GLOBAL WARMING IS HERE’
…Flanagan is now anchored by an island just east of the Vilkitsky Strait, still hoping for the ice to clear but working on the backup plan, his manager said.
She(his manager) described the yachtsman’s mood as “pretty fed-up”.
There is a bright side to his situation……………….
As we all know, Polar Bears are suffering as Global warming reduces their natural food supplies. A steady supply of naturalists may be their best hope to stave off starvation.
Besides the arctic ice, Wrong Way Flanagan now appears to have another problem. Remember those polar bears that Global Warming activists were warning us were endangered? Well, it now seems that the tables have been turned and those endangered polar bears are now endangering Flanagan:
Ostrov Peschanyy is a bleak, featureless island that is little more than a sand spit rising a few metres above sea level. It’s a resting place for walrus and Western Arctic Marine Operations HQ have advised Adrian to keep a careful watch for polar bears hunting walrus there.SOURCE

WHY BOTHER WITH CARBON OFFSETS……..HEH……….
UPDATE:

I believe Darwin stated that Naturalists did indeed taste like chicken……or was it seal……

Um….Er….Um…..I’m not Gay
Nor am I stupid……Neither are all my constituents that believe what I say…….
I’M NOT SURE……BUT I’D GUESS THERE’S A LIE SOMEWHERE IN THESE STATEMENTS
Let’s see what commenters are saying…………….

A fillibuster proof Senate is going to really suck. Hard.

…………………………
You know what’s funny? Is the thousands and thousands of guys who read this blog now will now be so paranoid in every public bathroom. You know you will all keep your feet smack dab together like a prim little church lady while in the stall. If someone so much as moves his foot next to you, you are going to yelp like a stuck pig. I figure if someone puts their hand under your stall, your over the top and out of the bathroom faster than you can say “I LOVE BOOBS!
Heh.

If the guy next to me started tapping his feet moaning & grabbing the stall walls I just figured he had won the jalapeno eating contest at Bubba’s Backstop sports bar the night before.
…………………………
Gay?
What does being gay have to do with sucking cock in a men’s room?
Two totally different things.
The man has two children and is married.
Of course he’s not gay!
He’s bi.

………………………………..
If a normal guy is taking a dump and his foot accidentally touches that of the guy in the stall next to him, the natural reaction has always been to recoil as if about to be bitten by an HIV infested rattlesnake. Talking is highly discouraged.
If you see a hand move into your stall and it’s not grabbing the sandwich he dropped, smashing said hand with your foot or cutting it off with a pocket knife is perfectly acceptable behavior.

He DEFINITELY violated man law. Eyes forward, keep your hands and feet in your OWN stall. Had I been the person in the stall next to him the story would read “Senator breaks foot in bathroom incident.”
As for being gay, who cares. As for trying to get freaky in a public men’s room, STUPID. Somebody should get him George Michael’s number.

Michael Vick Chew Toy Lets Every Dog Have His Day
Next time Spike wants a bone, reward him with a chew toy - The Michael Vick Chew Toy!
Is it different you ask? You bet it is! The Vick Dog Chew Toy is made of state of the art “dog” material. The Vick Toy Doll is so strong and flexible, it will challenge even the most aggressive breeds. Especially Mike’s Favorite Breed, The Pit Bull.
Unlike Vick, our manufacturer is so sure of its durability they guarantee it against the most aggressive dog destruction. It Bends. It Bounces. It Flies. It Floats. And best of all, it lasts through the whole season and more!

So……
Americans soundly rejected the Senate and Administration’s idiotic failure of an attempt to construct and pass an Immigration reform Bill a couple of months ago. In doing so they had to threaten their representatives both Democrat and Republican with everything but the kitchen sink and drag them kicking and screaming to vote no on a “COMPREHENSIVE” PLAN of Amnesty and open borders…..
But our elected traitors are stubborn and scheming.
The worst parts of the immigration bill are now beginning to pop up as amendments and attachments to other legislation.
The Dream Act is attached by Sen Durbin to the Defense Appropriation Bill and will probably sail through next month.
Arlen Spector (R-PA) has announced that he is ready to unveil a new immigration bill designed to replace the now-doomed Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act.
He intends to appease amnesty-opposing lawmakers by not placing illegal immigrants on a path toward citizenship, but rather to eliminate their status as fugitives from justice……HMMMMM…..
1) Have your Comprehensive “non Amnesty” bill that grants Amnesty defeated…
2) Lay low…
3) Introduce new less comprehensive non Amnesty Bill that grants Amnesty…
4) Profit!

How many different ways can you grant AMNESTY TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE CRASHED OUR BORDERS AND BROKEN OUR LAW WITHOUT CALLING IT AMNESTY?
Creative minds in the Senate seem to have no limits in their willingness to consider Americans stupid.

Well…..maybe….uh….well, possibly…..OK…OK….not Really.
HERE’S THE OPENER:
LONDON, England (AP) — Using marijuana seems to increase the chance of becoming psychotic, researchers report in an analysis of past research that reignites the issue of whether pot is dangerous.
HERE’S THE SECOND PARAGRAPH:
The new review suggests that even infrequent use could raise the small but real risk of this serious mental illness by 40 percent.
HERE’S THE RUB:
The research, paid for by the British Health Department…..
WAAAY….WAAAY…DOWN IN THE ARTICLE, IS THE TRUTH:
The researchers said they couldn’t (actually) prove that marijuana use itself increases the risk of psychosis……
BUT THEN THAT DOESN’T AFFECT THEIR CONCLUSION:
“Experts are now agreed on the connection between cannabis and psychoses.”
STIK DOESN’T SMOKE DOPE……BUT HE HATES LIARS WHO TAKE US ALL FOR IDIOTS…
So……..The Weasels are scrapping for forgiveness………..Well, there is no forgiveness.
The Washington two step is a dance they all know. Lindsay “the Snake” Graham, who just months ago was calling those who supported secure borders ‘RACISTS’ is a co-sponsor along with Arizona’s John Kyl.
You probably wont hear them chatting up their support for the Amnesty bill…..
BUT REMEMBER: THEY WERE FOR HANDING OUR COUNTRY OVER TO MEXICO BEFORE THEY WERE AGAINST IT……….

McCain does 180 on immigration
As John McCain sees his chances for the White House dropping like a lead balloon, he has changed his views on illegal immigration. Backing away from the recent failed immigration bill which McCain stood behind in spite of the Conservative base, he is now sponsoring “a scaled-down proposal that imposes strict rules to end illegal immigration but doesn’t include a path to citizenship.”
“We can still show the American people that we are serious about securing our nation’s border,” McCain said in a statement, adding that the new bill would “provide an essential step toward achieving comprehensive reform in the future.”McCain’s immigration position has been a campaign liability among Republican voters and hurt his efforts to raise money. Other GOP presidential candidates, fellow Arizona Republicans and immigration opponents throughout the country have loudly decried his position.
Observers said McCain’s switch was political. “He recognizes his position on the issue is killing him,” said Steven Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors vigorous immigration enforcement.
McCain’s co-sponsors include Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jon Kyl of Arizona. All three were leading advocates for the unsuccessful comprehensive immigration measure and were bombarded with criticism for their support.
Immigrants’ rights advocates jumped to condemn their decision. (more)

Bush says NO to Ramos and Compean
Cross posted And adapted from Right Truth
United States President George W. Bush does not plan to pardon Border Guards Ramos and Compean, stating he is ‘good friends’ with U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. He went on to say the border guards were “convicted by a jury of their peers”. Yeah, and so was Lewis Scooter Libby, Mr. Prez. Funding is down in the Republican party because you have not listened to the voters on illegal immigration. I expect funding will drop even more after this.
“I’m not going to make that kind of promise in a forum like this,” Bush said at the event, which was intended to focus on his budget and economic policies. “I know it’s an emotional issue, but people need to look at the facts.
“These men were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts.”
…AS OPPOSED TO LIBBY WHO WAS CONVICTED OF A JURY OF HIS PEERS AFTER LISTENING TO THE FACTS……
He referred to the prosecutor in the case, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, as “my friend,” and called him “an even-handed guy.”
….AS OPPOSED TO LIBBY’S PROSECUTOR WHO WAS AN EVEN HANDED GUY BUT WAS PROSECUTING HIS FRIEND….
Anti-immigration groups have taken up the cause of Compean and Ramos, lobbying lawmakers and the White House. Several members of Congress also are urging the president to pardon the two former agents. Those calls increased after Bush commuted the sentence of former aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby in the CIA leak case.
JUSTICE…..
