Not been a good weekend for Governor Palin. In a 263-page report, Alaskan officials said she abused the powers of her office, and that was an ethics violation. Wow, she’s only been on the national scene a month, and already she has an ethics violation. Who says she’s not ready for Washington, huh? - Jay Leno

international sanctions against his regime.
In a speech...talking about being behind in the polls, John McCain said, “My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them.” And he’s not the first military man to say that. I believe General Custer also said it. - Jay Leno
Disturbing News
"At a
rally today in Virginia, they played the theme to `Rocky' as John McCain walked
on to the stage. Does John McCain seem like Rocky to you?...Why would McCain
want to be like Rocky? Did you see the movie? Didn't Rocky get the hell kicked
out of him by the black guy?" - Jay Leno

Surprises in the Sarah Palin "Troopergate" Investigation Report
10. Spent thousands of tax-payer dollars pimpin' her dog sled.
9. Terminated her hairstylist after receiving a bad beehive.
8. Palin claims she hasn't seen this kind of misuse of justice since Supreme
Court case of... umm, lemme think of one.
7. In her adult life has never gone more than ten minutes without saying, "You
betcha!"
6. No number 6 -- writer looking for his hairbrush.
5. Report's conclusion: "Hey, at least she didn't shoot a guy like Cheney!"

Too Stupid To Be A Husband Or Father
Mark Ciptak
says he went behind his wife's back and listed their newborn daughter's name as
"Sarah McCain Palin" on her birth-certificate application because "we are strong
supporters of that ticket," according to the Kingsport Times-News in Tennessee.
"She wanted Ava Grace.
So,
with a clear conscience, even though I know I was sort of going around her back,
I kind of secretively put down Sarah McCain Palin instead of Ava Grace on
another set of forms that I acquired from the front desk,"

A Letter to The Red States
Dear Red
States:
We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and
we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware,
that includes California,
Hawaii,
Oregon,
Washington, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan,
Illinois
and all the Northeast. We believe
this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the
people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas,
Oklahoma
and all the slave
states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the
Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You
get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of
America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We
get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay
their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the
Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a
bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be
pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens
back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your
evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to
their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show
pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you
success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not
willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent
of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple
and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of
America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most
of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and
condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus
Stanford, Cal
Tech and MIT. With the Red States,
on the other hand, you will have to
cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected
health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S.
mosquitoes, nearly 100
percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent
of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all
televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University,
Clemson and the
University of Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite,
thank you.
Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was
actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred
unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent
say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was
involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you
are people with higher morals then we lefties.
Finally, we're taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed
they grow in Mexico
Peace out,
Blue States
Subject: Your future
Hi Lisa,
Just wondering how you are doing. I check the site and it is still so solid, but
it must feel like uncertain times ahead for you. I remember when we saw the
devastating results of the 2004 election and you said, oh well four more years
of employment.
I really admire all that your site and your insight has done for so many important issues. Love to hear what you are thinking about this and that.
Your fan, Ann from LA
Thanks so much Ann. Yeah, I am a bit nervous about the future of AHNC.
Fans as yourself have kept me online for almost eight years and I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to continue. It would be ironic that I would have to close down AHNC because Obama got elected and my support disappeared.
Only time will tell.
Hey, buddies, can you spare some change?
Please help keep All Hat No Cattle online
