A friend of mine from Michigan knows that Aunt Martha, librarian/poet/writer of local renown, likes to play word games. He sent her the following facts to share with the folks at the Cafe.
Did you know....that the words "race car" spelled backward still spells "race car"?
...that "eat" is the only word that, if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense, "ate"?
And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in "illegal immigrants," and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, violent, non-English-speaking jerks and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-loving, raggedy-ass morons with you."
How weird is that???
Well, a quick polling of the folks who attempted to view Obama's State of the Union speech rated it below an ugly goat roping. In fact, not one single person was able to listen to the entire speech. Butch Jackson, political observer/fact checker/philosopher of questionalble renown, claims that he made it for 25 minutes without dozing, which would have been 10 minutes more than anyone else. Butch's claim was met with unguarded skeptism.
Butch handed out the Heritage Foundation's review of the speech which included the following:
"The speech was an incoherent mess of promised tax cuts for small businesses coupled with the threat of tax hikes from his health care and energy proposals; more federal money to encourage banks to lend to businesses, coupled with new taxes on banks and individuals; the continued waste of his $862 billion stimulus plan and $2 trillion in new health care spending, coupled with a delayed and temporary spending freeze." Wow, looks like he nailed it, huh?
Butch also claimed to have read an advanced publication of the entire Obama "Worldest Shortest Books" collection before bed after the speech. Folks either didn't hear this claim or didn't care much whether he had or not. Rumors are that Butch might have ghost written a couple of these books.
Billy Roy, local wise man/country and western singer/big issue summarizer, commented, "All I got was that Obama did everything he wanted to in 2009 and liked what he did a lot. Therefore he was going to double his efforts to do it all over again in 2010. I just wonder if the Republicans are paying him big money to act like this."
Something to think about,
Jim

Obama Announces New Releases of the World's Shortest Books
Aunt Martha, as the official librarian in Hubbard City, is always right on top of new publications. Her latest will have readers heading to their borders (note that is not the Borders book store). She authored and read the following review to the folks:
"A great author has to change with the times, even Barrack Obama. After his 'Audacity of Hope 'and 'Memories of My Father' publications which made him a millionaire, he is now going small.
In these busy times the American people have no time for long, tedious books. 'Random Louse' Inc. has published a new fifteen book collection of the World's Shortest Books authored by none other than our President. They are only offered as a set for the mandated price of $150 (payment due no later than 4/15/10). Those choosing not to subscribe can do so by paying a federal fee (directly to the Obama family) of only $159 (due 2/15/10). Those wishing exemptions from purchase or fees may do so by voting a minimum of 3 times in the 2012 elections (send voter ID # and registration fee of $149 to ACORN.com, San Quentin Prison, S.F., Ca.).
This collection is already #1 on the NY Times Best Selling List even though the publication date is set for 2016."

Billy Roy Thinks Downtown Scotty Brown "Gets It"
When something as big as yesterday's special election happens I can't wait to get an explanation from Billy Roy Michem, local country and western performer/philosopher/all around good guy. BM is a real man of few words.
My big question, "BM, why did those yankees vote for Scotty Brown?"
BM: "Seems like this Brown guy has a simple message: 'Government is way too big and the current boys and girls in D.C. are making it bigger. This means we need tax and spending cuts and to throw out every politician that wants to keep government big. Secondly, Brown says he is for a strong military and homeland defense who will protect us at home and around the world. Lastly on today's health care mess, Brown is OK with finding a way to provide health care to folks, but he knows the worst way to try to do that would be to let the government take it over.' Pretty simple stuff."
My follow up question, "BM, isn't there more to it than that?"
BM: "NOPE."
Got it,
Jim

Changes to Idiot's List and New Heroes List
The current top ten ranking of the "Idiot's List" :
1. Barry (had a great week with huge "mispeakings" including the attack on his own GMC trucks)
2. "Martha or Marsha or What Ever" Coakley (Mass. Senate Cand. easily replaced Janet Napolitano who has been put in "time out"
3. Robert Gibbs (continues to stack up idiot points big time)
4. Nancy Peolosi (an immovable object from the land of fruits and nuts)
5. Harry Reid (solidified his position behind his light skinned leader)
6. Bill Clinton (replaced Maxine Waters by saying Haiti was strategic to the US because of it's #1 AIDS ranking)
7. Barney Frank (laying low but we remember him)
8. Henry Waxman (looks more like a weasel than weasels)
9. Al Franken (how do we get him more involved?)
10. Tie: Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, and George Bush (Joins the group by enlisting in the Barry and Bill Haiti efforts even as they continue to blame him for everything. He could have just supported the Red Cross instead.)
Continues to be Disqualified: Joe Biden (considered as an "Off the Chart" idiot and unrankable)
The Brand New and Somewhat Different Cafe Heroes Almost Top Ten List
1. Scott Brown, Mass. Senator Candidate (leaps to the top of the list win or lose)
2. Glen Beck (hitting the ball out of the park but may be on steroids)
3. Rush Limbaugh (consistency over, over, and over again)
4. Newt Gingrich (really smart and gets it right most of the time)
5. Martha Coakley (thank you Marsha)
6. Barrack (conservatives couldn't do it without him)
7. Dr. Martin Luther King (a true conservative, really, "content of character" true believer, etc.)
8. Ronald Reagan Placeholder (places 8-10 and waiting for applicants)
9.
10.
Inputs and comments welcome,

One of Mom's Favorite Jokes
Mom loves a good joke. She loves even more to share them at the Hubbard City Cafe. This is her latest:
One winter morning a husband and wife in Buffalo were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, “We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." So the good wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." The good wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park....." Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"
With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, the husband replied, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

Who would you waterboard? Horseshit lists grows rapidly!
These are busy times at the Hubbard City Cafe.
Butch Jackson posed the question to the Cafe, "Who would you waterboard to save your children from a horrible death like an exploding bomb in an airplane?"
Billy Roy responded with, "Obviously the light skinned orator and clean, President Obama, and his idiotic Attorney General, Eric Holder, will not waterboard captured Jihadists to save our children. I wonder if Obama would waterboard one of these punks if his own children were being held hostage? I bet he would in a manic minute if it were his daughters."
Butch Jackson retorted, "Hell, I would waterboard my own Mother if if would save the life of any ones' children. Wouldn't you?"
The silence that followed confirmed the hard, but right choice.
Billy Roy summed up, "Only idiotic liberal elite lawyers would rather protect the rights of Jihadist Scum than protect American children."
This conversation prompted an extension of the Horse Shit List:
Bailout: A process by which the Democrats after forcing companies (banks) to make bad business decisions (loans to Democratic voters who are poor credit risks) then loans the banks tax payer money to keep them from going bankrupt claiming that they are too large to fail and would destroy the entire world's economy. This action is soon followed by the banks improving their operations to the point of being able to pay back these government loans enabling the banks to then place huge taxes on the banks to pay for providing free health care to Democratic voters as a punishment for improving their operations too much.
Global Justice: The term is used by Obama-nites to provide Jihadist Terrorists who murder innocent men, women, children, and people of unknown genders with fancy lawyers and legal rights at the expense of the taxpayer resulting in protecting these cowardly Radical Muslim fanatics from having to share intelligence data that is essential to the protection of Americans and other people around the world. Non-Obama-nites, a huge majority and rapidly growing number of Americans, categorize this simply as "putting Terrorist's rights ahead of the safety of Americans". Obama-nites argue that by treating these people allegedly suspected of "man made disasters" fairly, fewer of them will be motivated to blow our asses up.
Finger Pointing: The term used when the Democratic Government screws up that keeps anyone from identifying who was responsible for the screw up. This process would be the opposite of a "whistle blower" program. While the President will accept screw ups, he "will not tolerate" finger pointing within his administration.
Partisan Politics: This term is used by Democratic Administrations when they screw up and Republicans "finger point" at them. It is considered by Democrats to be unfair.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform: This title is used for a legislative bill that would make illegal immigrants, who have broken American laws by illegally entering and remaining in the USA, legal. This bill would give these illegals voting rights and would give the Democrats the large majority of these millions of new voters and insure there elections in several states and nationally. Surprisingly, this legislation has been supported by President George Bush and Presidential Nominee John McCain before Republicans found out these two men were not real Republicans.
Comprehensive Health Care Reform or Comprehensive Anything: Comprehensive is a code name for any bill that is so complex no politician can read it nor any voter can understand it. All of the bills are aimed at the Federal Government taking over whatever is being reformed.
Global Warming and Climate Change: The folks at the Cafe have no idea in Hell what these terms mean other than the obvious. The World warms (and cools), and climates change four times a year probably tied to the seasons.
Additions are welcome,
Jim

Surprise, Surprise: The Story Behind Obama's Presidency
Letter to: The Hubbard City Cafe
From: Jim Hammock
What a surprise? Even Harry Reid thought the Democrats could elect a candidate to the office of the President of the United States if he was a "good orator, light skinned, and did not speak using a Negro dialect, except when he wanted to". Remember when a political analyst as astute as old Joe Biden said, "I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who's articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Wow, clean?
Notice no discussion nor concerns about the candidate's experience, ethics, leadership qualities, or even views concerning national or international issues. No concerns about the possibility that the candidate might be a socialist, a man of black militant faith, has an obvious Islamic background and education, no questions even about his ability to prove his citizenship, no investigation into close connections to organizations like ACORN or other "Social Justice" movements, nor a strong desire to completely "transform" the US economy by re-distributing wealth from the current stake holders to those chosen by the "chosen one". No concerns were exposed about the candidate exhibiting all the signs of someone with a pathological Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Hell, the guy has had more names than a New Orleans lap dancer.
In today's political arena all of those pesky little flaws and details can be managed. Particularly if Candidate Obama follows someone in office who has been crucified by the press and the opposing party for a good 7 of his 8 years. Particularly if he is running against someone as unattractive as Hillary Clinton who is threatening the nation with 4 more years of Bill staining the oval office. Particularly if he runs against a John McCain who is such a gentleman and patriot that he believes it would be disloyal to bring up any of these little uncomfortable topics that might disrupt the civil discourse of the campaign. Best to keep it positive and at the 60,000-100,000 foot level as not to drag voters into too many boring details.
Well, that's what happened, and now we see what we have. The American voters closed their eyes and shed years of racial guilt by electing a nice young black couple with two beautiful children to the highest office in the most powerful nation of the world.
Man, if it weren't for those pesky little flaws and details this would be such a great fictional story. Yeah, if it weren't for the parts that are real: things like our economy, security, and freedom.
Think about it,
Jim
