There are lots of reaons why this article should annoy or even anger me. But I am sick of hearing this word "vet" in its verb form. For many years this has been a colloquialism that, as a verb, means "to subject to a veterinary examination." What idiot suddenly decided that it was better to say that someone or something has been "vetted" instead of "examined" or "evaluated?" Yeah, this kind of thing makes me see red. Silly, isn't it? As for myself, if someone ever tried to shove a horse thermometer up my backside vet me, I would consider it a threat of deadly force and respond accordingly.

I went to this site to read the comments from the Border Patrol Union Local 2544 in Tucson, AZ, regarding the Minuteman Project. I found many other things to get your dander up. Like this:

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: You Can Now Be Detailed Away From Your Family indefinitely. Notice how everything they talk about and the reason for continuing to strip your employment rights is "TERRORISM", yet our borders remain wide open to TERRORISTS because our President kowtows to illegal aliens and refuses to shut our borders down. The good news just keeps coming folks. Read about their continued assault on your employment rights here.

Be sure and follow the link to the pdf file. Heck, just read the whole page and prepare for your blood pressure to rise.

tnx to No Quarters

Just received an entertaining email about an old lady in Australia who emasculated her grand-daughter's rapists with a 9mm pistol. Only problem is, it didn't happen.

And apparently this chain email is about 5 years old.
