Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
Fred's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Brisbane City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

I saw a dead sea lion rolling in the surf at Corcoran Beach this afternoon. It was a big male. It must have weighed 500 lbs.
It rolled back and forth as the sea worked its will upon the body. When the tide reached its maximum the body was deposited on the beach. I watched as hundreds of seagulls descended upon the body stripping hide, fat and flesh. The birds concentrated on the head initially. The eyes and lips were the first delicacy. The birds pecked until they exposed the skull.
I wondered if the sea lion had any intimations of its impending death. I wondered if it was conscious of the inexorability of external reality.
I've been thinking about what I saw. I think the dead sea lion is a metaphor for what lies in store for the current American administration.

"BRUSSELS — President Obama started his day in Warsaw struggling to convince his friends in Central and Eastern Europe that the United States is being tough enough with Russia. He ended his day in Brussels, still struggling, but this time to persuade America’s core Western allies to stay tough with Russia.
The dizzying contrasts underscored the challenges Mr. Obama faces navigating the complicated waters of European politics as he tries to forge a unified stance against Russian aggression in Ukraine. On the defensive at home for a prisoner swap, he finds himself pressed overseas by some allies unsatisfied with his reassurances of resolve and others unimpressed with his arguments for action..."

Obama is less competent than George Bush, say a plurality of Americans
With President Obama's approval rating still deep underwater, a new survey from Fox News finds that Americans generally think George W. Bush ran a more "competent" administration. In the survey, a 48 percent plurality said Bush's White House was more competent, while 42 percent picked Obama's.
At the same time, fully two-thirds of Americans said Bill Clinton's administration was more competent than Obama's, versus only 18 percent who liked Obama's better.

Four million American taxpayers will be forced to pay the Obamacare individual mandate non-compliance tax in 2016, according to a newly released analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.
The report, titled Payments of Penalties for Being Uninsured Under the Affordable Care Act: 2014 Update, includes a gingerly-worded reminder that Americans will be liable for the tax as part of their annual tax-filing process:
“Among the uninsured people subject to the penalty, many are expected to voluntarily report on their tax returns that they are uninsured and to pay the amount owed.”
The CBO data also show that the overwhelming majority of those liable for the are part of low-to-middle income households, a clear violation of President Obama’s promise against “any form of tax increase” on Americans making less than $250,000 per year.

How's Obama's reset with Russia working out? Not so well huh?
How's Obama getting along with the Chinese? Not so well huh?
Obama is an alliance builder. Unfortunately, the alliance he built is between Russia and China.

everyone can sing along to this one:
Tiny Pole Prancer
Big mouthed baby, closet lady, destroyer of our land
Evil-eyed, pirate smirk, you’ve married a kind of man
Masquerader, folks couldn’t see you, heads were in the sand
You so annoy us, worthless, lazy, Tiny Prancer should be canned
Muslim freaks out in the streets
Killing Christians who love God
Turning back you just laugh
Say road to Allah’s not that bad
Barbell Man you make your stand
On the stage with your new pole
Looking on you sing a song
Words sound foreign, tune sounds cold
Oh how it feels surreal
You lie here and everywhere
Always you and you can’t hear me
When I shout loudly slowly
Let us go now Tiny Prancer
Count your blessings and get lost
We don’t want your kind of thinking
Your bad thoughts come at high cost
Let us go now Tiny Prancer
Count your blessings and get lost
We don’t want your kind of thinking
Your bad thoughts come at high cost
Big mouthed baby, closet lady, destroyer of our land
Evil-eyed, pirate smirk, you’ve married a kind of man

Many commentators have noted that it has become hard to keep track of all of the scandals related to this administration, and that reality has actually benefited President Obama. The number of scandals ensures that each individual scandal has about the same staying power as Lindsay Lohan’s sobriety. This phenomenon was on full display this last week as the VA scandal was overshadowed by the Bergdahl swap, which also allowed the media and public to completely block out another story that would otherwise concern many Americans. This story includes President Obama breaking promises, ignoring laws, and betraying allies, all of which have unfortunately become as common as MSNBC show cancellations during this Presidency.
Following the news that the Palestinians have formed a unity government that includes the terrorist group Hamas, Buzzfeed reported that the Obama administration has been holding secret talks with Hamas for six months. It’s hard to keep track of all the terrorists Obama is making deals with these days, but Hamas is the group that has committed itself to the destruction of Israel. Actually, that’s almost every terrorist group, but Hamas is also known for making nice children’s cartoons about shooting Jews. These talks are in direct contradiction to Barack Obama’s campaign promises that he would not negotiate with Hamas or any government that included Hamas. In fact, Obama, as he often does when someone states a harmful truth about him, feigned outrage in 2008 at the suggestion he might engage with Hamas if he was elected President. Then-candidate Obama called it “offensive”, “disappointing”, and a “smear’ for Senator John McCain to suggest that Obama would negotiate with Hamas. Unsurprisingly, six years later this supposed smear turned out to be a prophetic observation.
Not content in just negotiating with and releasing terrorists, the State Department has also shockingly announced that it will continue to give aid to the new Palestinian government. The 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act specifically states that the United States aid may not go to “Hamas or any Hamas-controlled or power-sharing government” unless they abandon their commitment to Israel’s destruction. I admit that I did not go Harvard Law School like our esteemed President (I went to Michigan Law instead), but that seems fairly straightforward to me. Funding a government that includes Hamas is a clear violation of the law, but this administration has proven on multiple occasions that they believe laws that they don’t like should be treated like suggestions that they can ignore. They pretend like ignoring these laws is similar to running by the pool when you’re a kid despite a “No Running” sign. However, even running by the pool usually resulted in you getting yelled at by the lifeguard, but in this case the lifeguard, our esteemed press, is more likely to complain about why we aren’t clearing a path for Obama’s latest jog.
Israel’s ambassador said the country was “deeply disappointed” by the announcement and other Israeli officials correctly pointed out that the United States is essentially sanctioning terrorism by supporting this unity government. However, none of this should come as a big shock to Americans. This administration has had a consistent policy of trying to appease enemies while dismissing allies. This policy has significantly reduced American influence in the world as our allies recognize that they cannot count on us and our enemies perceive they can exploit our naiveté as if we were a drunk freshman sorority girl at a frat party.
I do not see this decline changing as long as this President remains in charge and continues to have the support of his Party and the media, which leads to the real questions: Where are the Democrats who support Israel? Where are the Democrats who support holding politicians accountable for their promises to the American people? Where are the Democrats who support the rule of law?
I can only assume that CNN is currently planning an in-depth investigation as to whether they were all on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. If those Democrats do not speak up now, I do not see how the American people can take their claimed support for those positions as anything but empty rhetoric. It is my sincere hope that they do reappear because the damage that may be done to our country over the next 2.5 years if they do not is not worth the political gains for my side from their continued silence.

Scandals? What scandals??
The GOP has been vainly trying to make political hay out of nothing and continually fall flat on their faces. Congress's time is taken up pursuing imaginary straw men and nothing gets accomplished by the do nothings there.
