What does a self-described progressive city girl do when she chases love to a remote corner of Kansas? She blogs about the local news media covering the appropriate kind of squirrel meat to serve at Thanksgiving, among other hilarious findings. Mudflap Bubbas definitely worth the click.

basically a british lord was giving a speech in minnesota, and said Barak was about to cede US sovereignty.
**********
At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.
I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.
How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once. So, at last, the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement, who took over Greenpeace so that my friends who funded it left within a year, because [the communists] captured it – Now the apotheosis as at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world. You have a president who has very strong sympathies with that point of view. He’s going to sign it. He’ll sign anything. He’s a Nobel Peace Prize [winner]; of course he’ll sign it.
and this is about to occur in which parallel universe?

WTF does any of that have to do with Squirrels in Kansas?
Jeeezus, try to stay on-topic. It's not like you don't have plenty of normal political posts to pollute with your moronic conspiracy theories.
T
LOL... speaking of tools....
any links about the family fortune being long gone? Most of what I can find he doesn't seem to be doing to bad, although he did downsize his house sometime around 2001 or so. He cut down from a 200 acre estate to one with only 90 acres(but a mile of shoreline)
And yes he is the last 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, but simply because he is the 3rd, kinda like his dad was the 2nd and his grandfather was the 1st, and his brother the current heir presumptive would be the 4th.
I don't know anything about Rolla, KS, but I'm guessing it must be rather tree-free and/or the site of a toxic waste dump. Squirrels are basically cute, mainly acorn-eating, rats with bushy tails. In the Continental US, if you've got oak trees of any kind, you've got squirrels. Had sh*tloads of them in SoCal, Miami, and just about every more rural place I've been.
WTF, Rolla?

colander not a funnel. The squirrels who are the 'regulars' in my yard would love that!! They'd think they died and went to heaven - free food AND a great Disney-ride....
I like to watch them near the end of June when the mulberries are falling and 'fermenting' on the lawn. The squirrels literally get
drunk and do back flips off the fence - then climb up and do it again. Wish I had a video camera....
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
Technically it is a colander modified for use as a integral part of a funnelator.
It seems to works very well for its engineered purpose although you have to wonder how many squirrels smacked the rail before they got the angle of trajectory correct.

Laws forbid shooting a gun in town and most towns are sanctuaries; Nothing prevents you from silently trapping them; and then?
If you have a garden or fruit trees Squirrels will get to fruit before it ever gets ripe. I've also discovered they will eat Petunias.
Donaldd
Around here I trap them and get rid of them because they mess up our vegetable garden, but if I was hungry I'd probably try to eat them.
City people making fun of small-town or rural folks is not really a road that smart-aleck urban liberals need to go down, IMO. There's enough division in this county as it is.
I think we just found one more explanation to Kansas' current batch of senators.
Shouldn't be surprised by this depression-era story, but goddamn...squirrels? Pigeons are probably cleaner.
As an aside, squirrels aren't exactly "fun-loving" either, as the article suggests. If you've ever had them nesting in the walls of your house, you'll know what I mean.
?
Don't.

that can carry rabies are carnivores or omnivores.

Hospitals filter who can come and go to the facilities, in order to prevent the spread of swine flu. Is the suckonomy the "new normal"?

TRICK or TREAT
Kiddies...
... Be a CEO for Halloween!!!
Dress in a clean three piece suit, or tie and slacks and coat, and hand out business cards as your "trick". On the cards, have printed the name of your favorite Health Insurance CEO. Have mom or dad help you with the spelling. Maybe they can even have some details about income and denial rates.
Parents,
You get to play too!!! BOO!!!
Parents get to dress as Death, scythe and all. Make a sign to sling around your neck that resembles a plank or panel of wood. On it, in magenta red have scrawled upon it, "Health Insurance Claims Adjuster".
Now, when the adult at the door says to Death, "...and where's your business card," simply reply, "You don't want to see MY business card, now do you?" Then, simply present a copy of a made up bill of a claim stamped, DENIED, "Here!"

I wonder if this has happened to anyone else.
A few weeks ago my father received a letter from State Farm saying that his home insurance policy would be raised due to something on his credit report. He knew there was nothing negative on his report and when he called his insurance agent, at first they stated that the notice said rates could be increased if there was anything negative on their report. However, it said that his rates would be raised. After his agent made another call she replied "Sir you have been a great customer who has always made their payments and this does not apply to you.
For one it is outrageous to think that they are connecting your property insurance rates to your overall credit record. Secondly this is more evidence that the very wealthy are treated completely different when it comes to the policies of major financial institutions.
Here's
a link that describes the poor paying 35% more for property insurance due to unrelated credit history.
Whose reforming this shit?
once it became legal for prospective employers to run credit checks during the hiring process.
Be careful with renting or subletting as well. At the first house I rented in Miami (for only a few months, from a nice couple who owned their place for 30 years), I had some insurance inspector show up on a Saturday to do his annual windstorm inspection. He asked if the owner was home. I stated that they were overseas for a few months (they owned a house in Brisbane, which they visited during the Miami summers). When the couple finally came home, they found their windstorm insurance canceled because they had sublet the house to me! Friggin' unbelievable!

Our whole society is slipping down the slippery slope and into the rabbit hole.
I went to the recycling center the other week to redeem $5 in cans and bottles. There was a sign that said
"Effective immediately a valid ID must be shown to redeem cans"
Doesn't effect me but can you imagine being homeless and not being able to clean up the streets to get a .99 cent burger because you lack proper identification?
We are fucked. Fucked I tell you.
and turn in copper, they take a picture of you, your vehicle, your lic plate, what you brought in and copy your drivers license after you sign an affidavit that they notarize on the spot.
is because there is a very high rate of theft of copper material from work sites.

Here's another home insurance nightmare. Many have heard of the toxic Chinese drywall that flooded the markets during the building boom/commodities shortage. Now insurers are denying claims and canceling policies on home affected by the debacle.
Since most of these homes are mortgaged, a wave of foreclosures is expected due to the homeowners inability to find insurance.
Consumer protection dead? Nah.
..when pappy bush called KO and Rachel, "..sick puppies..".

Anti-Zionism is very different from Antisemitism. Using an outdated stereotype on a group of people is just close-minded.
the Zio's sure like to conflate the two tho, they think it gets them off the hook for all of their dastardly deeds by calling everyone anti-Semite. Makes me dislike them all the more.
