Police Officer and Corrections Officer Commit Fraud in Bigfoot Hoax!

After a massive press conference last week, Matt Whitton & Rick Dyer had the media abuzz with Bigfoot talk. The top story on the CNN website was about these two Georgia men find a bigfoot body.

Apparently they sold the ice encased body to bigfoot hunter Tom Biscardi for an undisclosed sum prior to the press conference. After the press conference the ice started melting and so did Whitton & Dyer’s story. The melting ice revealed the bigfoot to be nothing more than a very nice halloween costume.

The funny irony of this hoax is that Whitton is getting canned from his police job for being part of the fraud.

WHAT? United States has NO Official Language!

I was checking out the Olympic Medal count and on the United States Page LINK HERE it listed our official Language as “No Official Language”! WHAT?!

How policially correct does our country have to be.. ENGLISH is the official language of the United States of America! I’ll be the first to admit that we need to make more of an effort to learn a 2nd or 3rd language but come on! That is crazy!

Here is a link to an offical US Government website with the answer to what is the official language of the United States of America. It’s funny that it urges you to write your congressman if you would like the US to adopt an official language. We should all make requests to our Congressman to adopt English as the offical language but the requests should be written in Spanish! LOL!

While we are adopting English as the Official Language, we should go ahead and adopt Jessica Simpson as the OFFICIAL Woman!

Philip turns into MAD MAX!

Today was a Ranch day and on the list of to do’s was building a fence around my valley game feeder…

First stop was Country Boy’s Feed and Supply to pick up cattle panels and fence posts. The wire panels were a little bigger than I had hoped so we had to get creative when loading them…

Here is the drivers view as we headed for the ranch..

 

I felt like Mad Max driving down the road with the 20′ long welded wire cattle panels strapped to the top of my truck.

My truck is now battle ready
My truck is now battle ready. You can see my cabin on the hill behind the truck.

At the end of a hard days work, the fence around the feeder is done.. The hogs will HOPEFULLY have a hard time getting in there to steal food from the Elk and Deer!

North Texas school district will let teachers carry guns

Way to go Texas!!

Read article HERE

My favorite quote from the story is “In order for teachers and staff to carry a pistol, they must have a Texas license to carry a concealed handgun; must be authorized to carry by the district; must receive training in crisis management and hostile situations and have to use ammunition that is designed to minimize the risk of ricochet in school halls.”

I agree! It’s aways a good idea to minimize the risk of ricochet in the school halls!
Way to go Texas! The first state to allow teachers to protect our children!

Excerpt from the article

Dr. Scott Willoughby, of the Cardiovascular Research Center at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Adelaide University, said he was “alarmed” at the results of his survey.

“After one can it seemed to turn the young individual into one with more of the type of profile you would expect to see with someone with cardiovascular disease,” he said.
