Red Neck special forces
The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF)
These mostly Southern boys who will be dropped into Afghanistan and will be given only the following facts about the Taliban and terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music, or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
The Pentagon expects the problem in Afghanistan to be over by Friday.
Applications to be in the special unit are available at your local Wal-Mart sporting goods counter.

Kinder prompter
I could not make this up. The teleprompter President struck a home run with this one..I quote the AP article..
"President Barack Obama, accompanied by Education Secretary Arne Duncan, speaks to the media after a discussion with 6th grade students at Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va., Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2010."

Massachusetts Miracle?
"Democrat Martha Coakley is the voice of the 'little people' the way Ted Kennedy was the voice of sobriety. If Massachusetts voters want another privileged liberal who talks a good 'social justice' game while ignoring public corruption, pocketing gobs of money from Beltway fat cats and pandering to corporate special interests, Coakley's the one."--Michelle Malkin

Where is Obama?
In one, if not THE one of the most important Senate races (especially to replace Ted "Chivas" Kennedy), where is the P.I.D.E. (President I Didn't Elect) Obama? (This even before the tragedy in Haiti.)
Perhaps after Democratic election losses in New Jersey and Virginia, loss of the Olympics in Chicago, the Big O is a bit shy?
Here is a bulletin...he did offer support to Martha with this statemeent... "We all need Ted Kennedy's seat to be filled by a champion for change -- and Martha Coakley is that champion," he wrote in the message. "The stakes are high. Time is short," he added. "And your role is essential."
What is your role? Where is your support for Martha? Next week should be quite interesting.
