a slam dunk or A SLAM DUNK?!?

A pander to the left wing pocket books? Cashing in on the Iraqi War? Settling an old score? Or simply telling it like it was? This book is going to be quite the story. George Tenet served the country as head spook for seven years and did, what I feel, a good job in the war against terrorism. His new book will take a close look at how the United States put Iraq in its crosshairs and how the administration took the Republic to war. Regardless, despite the old saying "dont judge a book by its cover," I can't wait to get my hands on this book and devour it. Even if the cover looks a bit feeble.

Damned Terrorists!

Today, as my wife and I traveled across the great Commonwealth to visit my parents and enjoy a nice warm day in God's country, I learned that those filthy good for nothing dog hating tierrerists have struck again and caused chaos amongst the farming community. This time they struck at the heart of the Connecticut River Valley....and most importantly...they attacked my family farm ......and thus made it personal. Rotten scum.

You see, the federal government will begin to severely limit if not eliminate Broad Leaf Tobacco insurance for "cigar" tobacco growers throughout the country as that funding is needed to support the boyz fighting gallantly (despite the liberals thinking otherwise) against those damn tierrerists in Iraq.

Due to this recent development, farmers throughout the Connecticut River Valley are scrambling to grow as much tobacco as possible this year as very few farmers will risk growing the crop in future years because of the lack of insurance. For those wondering, Connecticut River Valley broad leaf tobacco is quite risky to grow due to numerous considerations - hail, strong wind, heavy rain, blue mold or drunken teenagers with four wheelers.

So with that said, this summer, the fields of Western Massachusetts will be a buzz with workers and tractors tending the tobacco fields for one last hurrah. Then the farmers will lay low once again and wait for the demand for tobacco to skyrocket of which will bring back the insurance. Just another cyclical process that will effect the lives of those that tend the fields on a daily basis.

Oh and those that smoke cigars - buy them now because they're going to get expensive again. Believe me. It'll be like the early 90's when Demi Moore was hawking them on that expensive Cigar magazine.

Rotten scum.

War isn't funny, but this movie may be perhaps....

It was only a matter of time that this would happen. In the like of the many war movie spoofs during the 80's, another attempt to humour the masses has begun. Take a look at the trailer. I must admit, it does have a funny twist to it. Not exactly Fallujah....

A higher calling?

This is probably one of the most luckiest people alive. This poor girl is going to have nightmares for the rest of her life. She survived Columbine AND the Virginia Tech massacare. Unbelievable.
