GO PACKERS!!!!

Barack Hussein Obama is promising he'll be at the Super Bowl if the Chicago Bears make it in.

WTF! Will this guy get to work already?
King Obama is not trying to cure this nation's ills. This piece of shit is too busy playing golf and jetting around the globe on vacation with his bitch-ass wife!

... and just think of the monumental expense this would create trying to ensure the security of this douchebag at such a large public venue. furthermore, he'd probably bring along a huge entourage thus depriving real fans of the coveted tickets.
This guy has such a workload on his plate that he should be too freakin' busy to even watch the game on TV!
This clown and his self-divining ruling-class ilk must be sent packing!

On a final Superbowl note, Let's Go J-E-T-S!!!!

Public Housing

The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners. The people that live in the house did not earn the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the taxpayers. Because of this, the residents do not have the "pride of ownership" that comes with the hard work necessary. In fact, the opposite happens and the residents resent their benefactors because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves did not earn the right to live in the house. They do not appreciate the value of the property and see no need to maintain or respect it in any way.

The result is the same whether you are talking about a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques. If the people who live there do not feel they earned the privilege, they will make this known through their actions. The picture below illustrates the point…




The Resolute Desk was built from the timbers of the HMS Resolute and was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes. It is considered a national treasure and icon of the presidency.

Mr. Obama, get your @#$% feet off our desk! As a matter of fact, get the hell out of the peoples house and take your arrogant staff with you.

I'm just sayin'....

...that all we really need the government for is to maintain the damn roads and to protect the freakin' borders.

I believe that maybe the U.S. should regain its superpower status through conquest and world domination.
It's Empire time baby!!!

...as for our current political "ruling class", heat the tar and gather the feathers.

R or D, left or right vote them all out.



Why does Obama hate America??


I need a drink... and a shower.

Obama's Secret Power Grabs

Obama has a pattern of sidestepping Congress that will only get worse in the aftermath of the health care fight and the pending financial “reform” legislation. For a full explanation of all of these threats as well as action items on how to stop them, please check out the interactive version of the chart on www.ObamaChart.com.

"Healthstapo"?

Remember before the election when Obama said we need to have a civil defense corps as well funded and as well armed as the armed services?

Obamacare prescription: 'Emergency health army'

A Savage Notion

USE RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS TO CHALLENGE OBAMA CARE

By MICHAEL SAVAGE

(MichaelSavage.com) OBAMA IS PREPARING TO SHOVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE DOWN OUR THROATS. AND IN ORDER TO DO SO, HE’S DECIDED TO BLOW UP THE U.S. SENATE. HE ANNOUNCED THAT RATHER THAN FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE U.S. SENATE, WHICH REQUIRE 60 VOTES TO END DEBATE ON ANY ISSUE, THE DEMONCATS WILL USE A METHOD CALLED "RECONCILIATION" TO PASS THE BILL WITH ONLY 51 SENATE VOTES. OBAMA HAS DECIDED TO USE THE NUCLEAR OPTION TO FORCE HIS WILL ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOW YOU KNOW THAT THE DEMONCATS ATTACKED THIS SAME METHOD WHEN THEY THOUGHT THE REPUBLICANS WERE GOING TO USE IT IN 2005. BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER TO THEM BECAUSE THEY’RE IN POWER NOW.

ON TOP OF THAT HE’S GOING TO MAKE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO DON’T NEED HEALTH INSURANCE PAY TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO DON’T PAY FOR HEALTHCARE AT ALL. MAYBE YOU DON’T KNOW THIS, BUT MAKING INDIVIDUAL AMERICANS BUY HEALTH INSURANCE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. IT’S TRUE THAT ARTICLE I, SECTION 8 OF THE CONSITUTION GIVES CONGRESS THE POWER TO REGULATE INTERSTATE COMMERCE. BUT IN ORDER FOR THIS TO APPLY, CONGRESS MUST BE REGULATING SOME KIND OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. BUT A HEALTHCARE MANDATE DOESN’T REGULATE ANY SORT OF "ACTIVITY.” JUST BEING AN AMERICAN WOULD TRIGGER IT.

THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME THAT BIG GOVERNMENT HAS TRIED TO FORCE NONSENSICAL AND DRACONIAN REGULATION ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THIS WAS FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT’S APPROACH IN THE 1930s UNDER HIS SOCIALIST “NEW DEAL” PROGRAM. BUT HIS DICTATORIAL SCHEMES CAME INTO CONFLICT WITH FOUR JEWISH BROTHERS IN NEW YORK, THE SCHECHTER BROTHERS WHO RAN TWO KOSHER BUTCHER SHOPS IN BROOKLYN.

ROOSEVELT CREATED THE NATIONAL RECOVERY ADMINISTRATION (NRA) DURING THE DEPRESSION TO SOCIALIZE AMERICA. IT DREW UP ALL KINDS OF DETAILED CODES FOR INDIVIDUAL INDUSTRIES, TELLING HOW FIRMS HAD TO DO THEIR BUSINESS. THE SCHECHTER BROTHERS, THE KOSHER BUTCHERS FROM BROOKLYN, FELL UNDER RULES WHICH SAID CUSTOMERS COULD BUY A WHOLE OR HALF COOP OF CHICKENS, BUT COULDN’T MAKE A SELECTION OF PARTICULAR BIRDS. THIS WAS IN CONFLICT WITH JEWISH KOSHER LAWS, WHICH REQUIRED THE REMOVAL OF UNHEALTHY ANIMALS FROM THE STOCK. IT WAS A VIOLATION OF THEIR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. BUT THE COURTS FOUND THE SCHECHTER BROTHERS GUILTY OF ALLOWING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO BUY INDIVIDUAL CHICKENS INSTEAD OF WHOLE COOPS AND THEY ALL SERVED JAIL TIME.

BUT ON APPEAL, THE CASE MADE IT TO THE SUPREME COURT, WHERE THEY FOUND IN FAVOR OF THE SCHECHTER BROTHERS BY A UNANIMOUS DECSION. THE COURT HELD THAT FDR’S REGULATIONS WERE IN EXCESS OF CONGRESSIONAL POWER UNDER THE COMMERCE CLAUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION AND INVALIDATED THEM. SPEAKING TO AIDES OF ROOSEVELT, JUSTICE LOUIS BRANDEIS REMARKED THAT, “THIS IS THE END OF THIS BUSINESS OF CENTRALIZATION, AND I WANT YOU TO GO BACK AND TELL THE PRESIDENT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THIS GOVERNMENT CENTRALIZE EVERYTHING.” THE SAME MESSAGE SHOULD BE SENT TO OBAMA.

IT’S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT IN THE CASE OF THE SCHECHTER BROTHERS, GOVERNMENT REGULATION CAME INTO CONFLICT WITH JEWISH DIETARY LAWS. IF THEIR LAWYERS HAD TAKEN ANOTHER TACK, THEY PROBABLY COULD HAVE WON ON THE BASIS THAT THEIR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM WAS BEING VIOLATED. BUT THIS TIME AROUND, OBAMA THE DICTATOR HAS MADE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS FOR HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. THE AMISH WON’T BE REQUIRED TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE. CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS WON’T BE REQUIRED TO BUY IT, AS MODERN MEDICAL CARE VIOLATES THEIR RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS.

SO HERE’S MY SUGGESTION: IF THEY CAN MAKE EXCEPTIONS FOR THESE RELIGIOUS GROUPS, LET’S FIND OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUPS THAT THEY’LL HAVE TO FIND EXCEPTIONS FOR UNTIL THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE EXEMPTED FROM THE SYSTEM, THAT THEY WON’T POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT. LET’S THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES:

  • WILL RELIGIOUS JEWS BE FORCED TO PAY FOR MEDICAL CARE ON SATURDAY, THE JEWISH SABBATH, ON WHICH THEY’RE NOT ALLOWED TO RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE?
  • WILL OBAMA CARE PAY FOR RELIGIOUS CIRCUMCISION IN JEWISH FAMILIES?
  • DEVOUT MUSLIMS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF ALCOHOL? DOES THIS MEAN THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN OBAMA CARE PROGRAM WHICH COVERS ALCOHOL SWABS?

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. WHAT OTHER RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE TO AVOID OBAMA’S SOCIALIZED MEDICINE PLAN?

AMERICA MUST ACT QUICKLY ON THIS, BECAUSE OBAMA IS SHOVING THIS THROUGH THE SENATE AS WE SPEAK. OBAMA’S NUCLEAR OPTION FLIES IN THE FACE OF OVER 200 YEARS OF SENATE TRADITION. REQUIRING ONLY 51 VOTES INSTEAD OF 60 FLIES IN THE FACE OF THE INTENT OF THE CONSTITUTION. WHEN THE FOUNDERS DESIGNED THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT, THEY MADE THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THE BODY THAT WAS MEANT TO BE DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY RESPONSIVE TO THE VOTERS. THAT’S WHY THEY HAVE SHORT, TWO-YEAR TERMS. THAT’S WHY THEY REPRESENT SMALL DISTRICTS AND HAVE A MORE DIRECT RELATIONSHIP TO THE VOTERS.

THE SENATE, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS DESIGNED TO BE A MODERATING INFLUENCE ON THE PASSIONS OF THE ELECTORATE. THAT’S WHY THEY HAVE SIX-YEAR TERMS, LONGER THAN THAT OF THE PRESIDENT, SO THEY COULD WEATHER THE STORMS OF A POPULACE STIRRED UP BY A POTENTIAL DICTATOR. THAT’S WHY THEY REPRESENT ENTIRE STATES INSTEAD OF JUST DISTRICTS. UNTIL THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY, SENATORS WEREN’T EVEN ELECTED DIRECTLY BY THE VOTERS.

EVEN GEORGE WASHINGTON UNDERSTOOD THAT THE SENATE WAS MEANT TO ACT AS A BULWARK AGAINST THE ACTIONS OF THOSE WHO WOULD TRY TO QUICKLY IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON THE NATION. IN A LEGENDARY CONVERSATION, THOMAS JEFFERSON HAD RETURNED FROM FRANCE AND WAS BREAKFASTING WITH WASHINGTON AS THE CONSTITUTION WAS BEING CREATED. JEFFERSON ASKED WASHINGTON WHY HE AGREED TO HAVE A SENATE. “WHY,” SAID WASHINGTON, “DID YOU JUST NOW POUR THAT COFFEE INTO YOUR CUP BEFORE DRINKING IT?” “TO COOL IT,” SAID JEFFERSON; “MY THROAT IS NOT MADE OF BRASS.” “EVEN SO,” SAID WASHINGTON, “WE POUR OUR LEGISLATION INTO THE SENATORIAL CUP TO COOL IT.”

THAT IS WHAT THE U.S. SENATE WAS DESIGNED TO DO – STOP BABY DICTATORS LIKE OBAMA FROM RUNNING TOO HOT AND PUSHING THROUGH THEIR RADICAL AGENDAS BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAD A CHANCE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON. BUT OBAMA HAS DECIDED TO BLOW UP OVER 200 YEARS OF SENATE TRADITION, BLOW UP THE INTENT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THOMAS JEFFERSON, AND BLOW UP THE ESSENCE OF THE CONSTITUTION IN ORDER TO PASS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE WITH THE NUCLEAR OPTION.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS COULD BE MORE THAN JUST A DEFEAT FOR CONSERVATIVES OR REPUBLICANS. IF OBAMA SUCCEEDS IN DROPPING HIS BOMB, IT WILL DESTROY THE VERY CORE OF THE CONSTITUTION. IT’S AN ATTACK AGAINST EVERYTHING GUARANTEED BY THE BILL OF RIGHTS, EVEN THOSE CHERISHED BY LIBERALS. BECAUSE IF OBAMA CAN DESTROY ONE PART OF THE CONSTITUTION, HE CAN DESTROY ANY PART OF IT. AND DON’T THINK FOR A MINUTE THAT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE WILL BE THE LAST STOP ON THE TRAIN BOUND FOR PERDITION.

Barack Obama seems to act more like he's a celebrity than the President

PRESIDENT IN THE RYE: BARACK OBAMA AS HOLDEN CAULFIELD


"I’M GOING TO TRACE THE LONG ARC BETWEEN THE CHARACTER IN THE “CATCHER IN THE RYE,” HOLDEN CAULFIELD, AND BARACK OBAMA, WHO IS STILL PLAYING THE OUTSIDER EVEN THOUGH HE’S THE PRESIDENT. YOU SEE, J.D. SALINGER, WHO DIED RECENTLY, WROTE “CATCHER IN THE RYE.” YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OF HIM, BUT HIS BOOK, PUBLISHED IN 1951, WRITTEN IN 1945, IS STILL SELLING 250,000 COPIES A YEAR. IT’S STILL TAUGHT IN COLLEGES. AND THERE’S A REASON FOR IT. I‘M GOING TO TRACE THE LONG ARC BETWEEN THE CHARACTER IN “CATCHER IN THE RYE,” THE IMMORTAL TEENAGE PROTAGONIST, THE TWISTED REBELLIOUS HOLDEN CAULFIELD WHO WAS THE PREDECESSOR OF THE BEATNIK OF THE FIFTIES, THEN THE HIPPY OF THE SIXTIES AND THEN THE PROGRESSIVES OF TODAY WHO CONTINUE TO SEE THEMSELVES AS WORKING AGAINST THE SYSTEM OR WORKING AGAINST THE MAN.

AND IT LEADS US RIGHT UP TO BARACK OBAMA, STILL PLAYING THE OUTSIDER EVEN THOUGH HE’S PRESIDENT. BARACK OBAMA AT HIS STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH WAS FRIGHTENING. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD THE PSYCHOLOGY OF OBAMA AT THE STATE OF THE UNION. FORGET THE INDIVIDUAL POLICY STATEMENTS THAT HE MADE. SOME OF THEM WERE SO OBSCURE THAT THEY HAVE ONLY CIRCULATED IN UNDERGROUND COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS. I THINK THIS MAN HAS NO CONCEPT OF LIMITATIONS, EITHER HIS OWN OR THE GOVERNMENT'S. AND AS SUCH, OBAMA PLACES US ALL IN DANGER.

THE SPEECH WAS FULL OF BLUSTER AND BOMBAST, UNCTUOUS IN TONE, CONDESCENDING IN SPIRIT. WE THE PEOPLE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND HEALTHCARE. WE THE PEOPLE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND BUDGETS. WE THE PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION. WE’RE THE IDIOTS, AND HE IS BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT. THIS WAS AN ARROGANT AND AWFUL DEMONSTRATION OF A DELUSIONAL MAN TO BLAME EVERYONE. EVEN THE LEFT THINKS IT WAS MUDDLED. OBAMA DID NOT HAVE A COHERENT PHILOSOPHY. THE THEME OF HIS SPEECH WAS “I DON’T QUIT.” IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AMERICA, DID IT? HIM INSULTING THE SUPREME COURT IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.

THE MAN IS A DANGER. PELOSI IS AN OUT-OF-CONTROL EGO MANIAC. TWENTY PERCENT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT HEALTHCARE REFORM, MOST OF WHOM ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS OR ARE GOING TO PROFIT FROM IT DIRECTLY. TWENTY PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS FOR THEM, AND APPROXIMATELY SIXTY PERCENT SAID DO NOT DESTROY THE GREATEST MEDICAL SYSTEM ON EARTH. AND YET PELOSI, GETS UP AND SAYS WE ARE GOING TO DO IT, WE ARE GOING TO VAULT OVER, WE ARE GOING TO PARACHUTE IN. DROP DEAD PEOPLE, WE DON’T CARE.

THAT IS HOLDEN CAULFIELD. AND THAT IS BARACK OBAMA WHO IS STILL PLAYING THE OUTSIDER, WHO IS STILL PLAYING IN ESSENCE THE TEENAGE PROTAGONIST, THE TWISTED REBELLIOUS HOLDEN CAULFIELD IN THE PRESIDENCY. FROM THE BEATNIK TO THE HIPPY TO THE PROGRESSIVE TODAY. SALINGER WROTE "CATCHER IN THE RYE" ABOUT THIS CHARACTER, THIS YOUNG GUY WHO GOES TO A PREP SCHOOL, RICH KID. AND HE’S ALIENATED; THE CHARACTER IS AN ALIENATED CHARACTER, AND HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE IS AND WHAT HE WANTS TO BE. AND WHAT WAS SALINGER TRYING TO SAY THROUGH HIS CHARACTER HOLDEN CAULFIELD? THAT THE KID WAS MIXED UP AND ALIENATED BECAUSE SOCIETY WAS MIXED UP AND ALIENATED. ALREADY AMERICA HAD HAD THE BIG CRACK- UP. AND BARACK OBAMA IS STILL PLAYING THE OUTSIDER, STILL PLAYING ALIENATED TEENAGER, EVEN THOUGH HE IS THE PRESIDENT. FROM BEATNIK TO HIPPY TO PROGRESSIVE".

Scott Brown supports waterboarding,
deporting illegals, no cap-&-trade
. Atta Boy!!

But don't get too comfortable, we may have won this battle, but the war has just begun.

Was that the sound of the health care scam hitting the floor with a thud?

It looks as if the tide is turning. Obama's charisma is waning. He went to Mass. to stump for "Marcia" Coakley and there were perhaps 2000-2500 people in attendance in a venue that sat 3000. Best yet, Obama gets heckled! He was so flustered he lost his place on the teleprompter!

Joe and Jose

We have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families
consist of two parents, two children, and live in California.

Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes
$25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.


Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number,
and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Ready? Now pay attention...

Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00
per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has
$31,231.00.

Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or
$31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has
$31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for
his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200..00 per year. Joe Legal now
has $24,031.00.

Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and
local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has
$31,200.00.

Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or
welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per
year.. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.

Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps
and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200..00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe
Legal now has $9,631.00.

Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose
Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal
still has $ 31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal
now has $7,231.00.

Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has
$31,200.00.

Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.

Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities,
gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after
work.

Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe
Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get
a government sponsored lunch
. Jose Illegal's children have an after
school ESL program.
Joe Legal's children go home.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services,
but
Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Do you get it, now?
If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...
You are part of the problem!
It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Reid calls a spade a spade

Sure this is old news already, but this is my first crack at it.
"Dingy Harry" described Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign as a light-skinned African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Those reflections appear in a new book, "Game Change," by Time magazine's Mark Halperin and New York magazine's John Heilemann.
Obama, asked about the controversy in a TV One interview, said Reid "used some inartful language in trying to praise me."
And don't forget, Joe Biden publicly shared his own similar insight into Obama's popularity during the campaign, and it didn't keep him from getting selected to be Obama's running mate. Biden omitted to note, however, that in addition to being clean, Obama was only Negro when he wanna be.
Were these comments out of line or offensive? perhaps. But you must admit there lies some truth in those statements. There's more white-boys lustin' after Halle Berry than Lawanda Page... and Barrack do change his voice when he speaks in "tha hood".

Bottom line: Should Harry Reid resign? Yes....but not because of the Obama race comments. He needs to go because he's an incompetent boob that continues to ass-rape the constitution.

7 Stories Obama Doesn't Want Told


Presidential politics is about storytelling.
Barack Obama won the 2008 election because his staff were better storytellers than the opposition.Now, it seems Obama’s gift for controlling his image shows signs of faltering.

Here are seven storylines Obama needs to worry about:
  • He thinks he’s playing with Monopoly money
  • Too much Leonard Nimoy
  • That’s the Chicago Way
  • He’s a pushover
  • He sees America as another pleasant country on the U.N. roll call, somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe
  • President Pelosi
  • He’s in love with the man in the mirror

At least Biden's good for someting

Joe "Plugs" Biden mocks Obama by bowing to Jon Liebowitz on his latest appearance on The Daily Show --a deep bow, akin to the one given by Mr. Obama to the Emperor of Japan.

America never voted for change like this

You can't make this stuff up

Obama campaign sued for trademark infringement by National Canning Center
It seemed like a natural phrase for a new, inspirational presidential campaign: Yes, We Can. But, as it turns out, it has been the trademarked slogan for the National Center for Home Food Preservation and Canning -- the trade association folks in DC who advocate for the many ‘canning’ companies around the nation.
“It’s outrageous,” declared Homer “Deacon” Jones Jr., the president and grandson of the founder of the Intercourse Canning Company of Intercourse, Pennsylvania. “Over the years, we have suffered enough from the ‘Intercourse’ jokes. My father, Homer Sr, and his father, Malcolm before him, just took it all in stride. But when someone takes our prideful slogan, ‘Yes, We Can!’ and usurps it for political purposes, well, that makes my blood boil. That slogan is known all over the country for just one thing: Canning.” The Intercourse Canning Company is known for canning beets, pickles and tomatoes. Mr. Jones was the President of the National Center for Home Food Preservation and Canning from 1996 to 2002.

Now, if we CAN just get a cease and desist order against all those singing kids....
