  • Senator Brown’s victory in Massachusetts is the most significant political event of the decade.
  • Hey, Congress. Do you hear us now? This is yo wake up call or is it still Bush’s fault?
  • Every time that Obama runs his mouth it cost me money either in taxes or investments. Another great use for duct tape.
  • It has been a year and only three to go.
  • Why is it that Girl Scouts sell their cookies during prime dieting season?
  • Saints vs Colts. Let the hype begin.
  • Two weeks of Super Bowl hype is like the political campaign season. Wake me up when the fun begins.
  • Our phone is ringing again. Must be election time.
  • Time to start the Farve retirement watch again. Will he or won’t he?

As punishment for bad grades, a Georgia mother forced her 12-year-old son to kill his pet hamster with a hammer, police said.

The day after he was forced to kill his pet, the child told his teacher, Meriwether County Sheriff Steve Whitlock told the AJC Thursday evening.

The teacher reported the incident to DFCS authorities, who contacted police, Whitlock said. The pet’s death allegedly took place at the family’s Warm Springs home.

On Friday, 38-year-old Lynn Middlebrooks Geter was arrested, Whitlock said. Geter faces one charge each of animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.

Geter remained in the Meriwether County jail Thursday evening, Whitlock said. Meriwether County is located about 90 minutes southwest of Atlanta.

Redneck Joke of the Week

Brother John entered the “Monastery of Silence” and the Abbott said,
“Brother, this is a silent monastery; you are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so.”

Brother John lived in the monastery for five years before the Abbott said to him, “Brother John, you have been here five years now; you may speak two words.”

Brother John said, “Hard bed.”

“I’m sorry to hear that,” the Abbot said. “We will get you a better bed.”

After another five years, Brother John was called by the Abbott. “You may say another two words, Brother John.”

“Cold food,” said Brother John, and the Abbott assured him that the food would be better in the future.

On his 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Abbott again call Brother John into his office. “Two words you may say today.”

“I quit,” said Brother John.

“It is probably best; you’ve done nothing but complain since you got here.”

Ain’t True

FAIRBANKS, Alaska – An Alaska man who hit a Taco Bell manager in the face with a double-decker taco has been sentenced to one day in jail and one year probation.

Warren Strickland of Fairbanks must also pay a $100 fine after pleading guilty Tuesday to disorderly conduct.

The 31-year-old says he threw the taco because it contained spit after he went through the drive-thru twice because the restaurant messed up his order. He claims the manager accused him of lying to get free food.

Strickland is barred from Taco Bell during his year of probation.

Ain’t true that the judge gave him the worse sentence. He could have made him go to Taco Bell every day for a year. That would be cruel and unusual punishment for sure.

Redneck Education Tip of the Week:

Public Service Announcement – Older Man Scam – Beware!

Please be aware of the following circumstances.

At this time of the year, you need to really pay attention!

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and
in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men.

I wanted to pass it on in case you haven’t heard about it.

A ‘heads up’ for those men who may be regular Lowe’s, Home Depot,
Costco, or even Wal-Mart customers.

This one caught me totally by surprise.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out
shopping.

Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic.  Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you or your friends.

Here’s how the scam works:

Two nice-looking, college aged girls will come over to your car or truck
as you are packing your shopping into your vehicle. They both start
wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost
falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It’s impossible not to look).
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say ‘No’ but instead ask
for a ride to McDonalds.

You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start
undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the
other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th,
20th, 24th, & 29th. Also December 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd,
26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming
weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take
advantage of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.

By the way, Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones
for $.99 at the dollar store and bought them out in three of their
stores.

Also, I never did get to eat at McDonalds.

But, I’ve already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from Lowe’s, to
Home Depot, to Costco, Etc.

So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them
to be on the look out for this scam. (The best times are just before
lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon!)
