Can you get any more red neck than this? “BUBBA” for your license plate. Now add in hanging Truck Nutz, but not the purchased sort. The sort made from over-sized real machine nuts! The quality of the picture is poor as I had to drive 80 mph to stay up with him, and only caught him when he ran into slower traffic in the passing lane. Robin shot this through my dirty windshield with a camera phone. I just had to have evidence of what I saw.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I purchased a model SF6000TA electric space heater from many other available models primary because it was made in North America. Some of the reviews online also gave me a warm fuzzy about my proposed purchase. Your product comes at a price premium compared to similar products from China, but I ignored this as it is important to me to buy products made closer to home.
I noticed the shipping container that my heater arrived in was a cardboard box made in China. Perhaps you should rethink your sourcing of these sorts of products in your business. I want to support manufacturing in North America. I do not think it should be a stretch for North American manufacturers to support manufacturing in North America.
Just a thought.
Sincerely,
From Freakanomics…
50% of Americans say they cannot lay their hands on $2000 in 30 days. Why $2000, because that is a good guess at what an average, sudden crisis would cost. 20% of households making $150,000 per year say they cannot come up with the $2000.
On the flip side an American household spends on average $520 per year on lotteries. 20% of households say their only chance of accumulating wealth is the lottery. 40% of households making less than $25,000 a year make that claim.
Just something to chew on. Sorry link was taken down…
Wonderful site listing many contradictions in the Bible:
Reading the passages below, sure sounds like it to me!!!
Acts 4:
31: And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32: And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33: And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34: Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35: And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36: And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37: Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. Continue reading “Was the Early Christian Church Socialist?”
The first 3 gospels have Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross. John has Jesus carrying the cross. Go with the majority???
Matthew 27: 32 — And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Mark 15:21 — And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
Luke 23:26 — And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
John 19:16 -17 –Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
…yeah I know you did not ask!
I am sure I am not the first to think of this…I just wonder how much better and less conflicted Christianity and western civilization would be if the Apostle Paul had gotten laid regularly.

And for that matter how much better would things be if the Apostle Paul had not been such a misogynist.
The big deal of Matthews is that Jesus is a direct descendent of Abraham through Isaac, King David, Solomon and others. Finally in the lineage is Joseph who became the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
As Mary was impregnated by the Holy Ghost Joseph did not know Mary sexually until after the birth of Jesus
Question — How does that make Jesus a descendant of Abraham and the others? It strikes me that the chain was broken with the “virgin” birth.
