Pssst...Silverhorners...it's me Marcello...remember me, I used to be Chief Garden Gnome and Researcher here at Silverhorn Lodge. That is until I was summarily dismissed by that prick...um...I mean the Boss for what he called 'artistic differences' but actually meant he was jealous of my fame.
I just snuck in here to say hello, and remind you I have my own blog now, Marcello's Place and because I missed you guys...and I am not impressed with the direction Silverhorn has been going since I left...the Boss seems to be big on Britney and celebrity stuff...whatever happened to the good old news about animals and tall tales and wharves and stuff....
For example, did you hear about the Western Screech-owl that moved into a house in Eugene Oregon and stayed...didn't hear about it did ya...oh my...what has happened to the Silverhorn?
I gotta be quick before the Boss comes back, but here's what happened, a lady was building a new room on her house when the owl moved in. In fact, he has kept busy cleaning up a rather large rodent population which has been uprooted by the new construction.
The little owl is only about 8 inches tall, he rests up on the beams in the new construction and doesn't want to leave. When someone tried to capture him he went and hid in the attic.
However, his time is coming, the construction is almost finished, and when it is, the little feathered fellow will have no way in or out. The owner is putting up an owl box in the backyard, but he probably won't want that after being used to the comforts of the inside of the house.
When interviewed about the possiblity of relocating, the owl is reported to have told a reporter from a nature publication, "I don't give a hoot about the house, or the neighborhood, but the meals are great."

The Carpenter Angle Am I too late...?
Hey Silverhorners and wannabees, welcome up the Mountain!
Well...somedays are just discouraging....several years ago I stumbled upon a series of books, The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, The Head of God, The Messianic Legacy, and several others that if nothing else, got my attention for a time and sent me off in search of more books of a similar nature. Of course I found more, all of which ended up as more than a passing interest in the 'ancient mysteries'...oooh...sounds deep doesn't it...
Along the way, another guy was developing an interest in the same topics, his name has become rather well known, while I languish in obscurity on the internet. I am talking about none other than Dan Brown, who, instead of looking for other books to read on the subject like I was doing, wrote his own, which of course he called The DaVinci Code...I'm told it did very well...someone said it even became a movie...a movie...
Now I am not suggesting I could have written The DaVinci Code but my point is...I didn't even try, I was too busy planning a blog called The View From um...from...ahh...oh yeah, Silverhorn Mountain...which although it has turned into an international hit of epic proportions, hasn't become a movie....
So why am I telling you all this you ask? You did ask didn't you? Well, I'll tell ya..apparently I missed the boat again...it seems everyone is getting on the DaVinci bandwagon. Pope Benedict has just inked a deal with Doubleday, the DaVinci Code publisher to publish his book about the life of Christ...
It's called "Jesus of Nazareth," which is a pretty catchy title in some circles and is intended as "a personal, historical-theological analysis of Jesus as the central figure of the Christian faith." At first I thought it might be some kind of travel guide to Nazareth, but I stand corrected....
Actually it picks up on Jesus around the time of his baptism in the River Jordan and follows him through to the Transfiguration...don't know what that is?...you're just gonna have to read the book I guess...
Dan Brown sold 40 million copies, I'm sure the folks at Doubleday are hopeful....
Meanwhile back at the ranch I have decided maybe to get in on this, I'm thinking about the carpenter angle, more of the early years...before he hit the big time...maybe I can cash in on the self help home handyperson craze at the same time, remember Jesus started out as a carpenter.. .
I should get started on it...I already have a few titles; The Jesus Plans...Coffee Tables for Temples...Backyard Chapels You Can Build,
Pine Alters.....Turn Wood Into Wine-Build Your Own Wine Rack.....Walk on Water with Wooden Boat Plans...How about The Jesus Code, Nazareth Building Code, Build and Sail Your Own Boat on the River Jordan...
OK OK I am outta here...there are two guys in tall white hats and robes at the door wanting to talk to me....
Do conspiracy stories and unsolved history mysteries turn you on like they turn me on? If they do, check out

Would You Like Porn With Your Pancakes?
Hey Silverhorners, Howsithanging??I have to say it like that because it seems I have been Gizoogled! Now for the unwashed, let me explain, um...well...I..it seems that a site has picked up on The View From Silverhorn Mountain and put us through what I can only describe as a um...well..I can't really describe it...let's just call it a 'process'
And out the other end comes a blog that looks like Silverhorn, is about the same stuff as Silverhorn, but it is in a little different language...readable, but different...you can find itHERE
Britney Spears Hit Me Baby One More Time
My passing fascination with the Spears fenomoina..phonomo..phenomen...ahh thingy, is
apparetently passing others as well. I recently read that Ruben Garay, perhaps an even better devotee to the Britney Chronicles than me, has let it be known that he is planning to shut down his website, World Of Britney, found at where else, worldofbritney.com. It seems Gary has had enough of her behavior of late, and more importantly so are her fans, which is having a detrimental effect on his website.
Don't tell Gary, but I think it might be us...let's face it, Silverhorn has been having a good run of Britney lately, and after you've been here...well...it's hard to go anywhere else....
World of Britney has been around for several years is planning to pull the plug on January 31st...Gary is planning a new website with a little broader celebrity base, and says Britney will still get some attention, but won't be the primary focus.
So the World's Worst Celebrity Dog Owner and the World's Worst Celebrity Role Model is on her way to becoming the World's Worst Celebrity Website Subject....well at least in some circles...she still has a place on the mountain...panties optional...
Porn and Pancakes
Yup...you read that right, a church in upstate New York is ...wait a minute...is there such a thing as 'downstate' New York? I mean, there must be right? I just never heard of it...anyway a Church somewhere in New York is holding a Porn and Pancakes ummm...event...which sounds delicious...the pancakes I mean...all smothered in butter and syrup...but then I digress...or regress...
Porn and Pancakes is a discussion at breakfast about pornography...uh-oh..this can't be good...these kinds of things seldom are...I mean...who goes to these things exactly? Do You? You can tell me...our little secret...they are going to talk about pancakes...ah..no..they are going to talk about the impact of pornography on America...I think there time might be better spent talking about the impact of global warming on America, or the Impact of the Iraqi and Afganistan wars on America...or...you get the picture...
If you would like to attend, it's at the Living World Assembly of God Church, LWAOGC on February 10th in the town of Ontario, which is a wee bit to the east of Rochester..oh Rochester...
The discussion will be facilitated by the Triple-X Church...oh? XXX is a group of youth ministers who travel the country talking about porn and the porn industry...talk about your weird fetishes...we have something very similiar here at the Silverhorn Breakfast Bar and Grill, only we call it Corn and Pancakes....
How do you like them pancakes...?
Rugged Good LooksThe University of Michigan's School of Public Health has found that although women go after men with rugged jaws and chiselled, masculine facial features, it't the chubby round faced boys they want to marry...sometimes it sucks to be a chubby round faced boy...
Yup, one night stands are apparently no problem for the chiselled faced guys...but the more um..feminine looking fellows are what girls really want for full time love...anyone seen my chisel?
GEEZ Ya Gotta Be Kidding
Yup we've started a new category for stuff that just doesn't fit...I thought at first this belonged to the AM I STUPID files, but I just don't know...it seems a cop in Florida caught two teenagers making out in a car so he arrested them, or at least detained them in his car...threatening to charge them with lewd and lascivious behavior...I don't know what that is, but it has a kind of sex ring to it...try saying it out loud..las-siv-i-ous....oh stop it...
But the inventive cop came up with something a little different...instead of pulling out a ticket book, he ordered the girl, who was a mere 16, to do jumping jacks...while topless....with safety obviously the charming officer's chief concern, he held his flashlight on her while she jumped....
The city is paying the young lady $35,000 for her trouble, and the officer has decided to find work elsewhere after he serves his two years of probation the judge handed out on the charge of extortion....if I was the judge...the copper would have been doing some jumping jacks....naked....

Rosie and Donald - For Publicity? Ivana Seems to Think So...
Aha!! Just as I have suspected all along, Ivana Trump has suggested that Rosie (The View) and the "Trumpster" Donald (The Apprentice) may have been milking their little battle of words in a bid for publicity. Of course, as you know, I suggested the same thing in in my post Donald Trump-Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walterswhich you can read HERE if you haven't already...
Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of the Trumpster was in Paris, (no not Hilton, Paris the city) attending some fashion shows, she came out to AP Televison news saying the show feud was just for show.
In fact, Ivana had this to say about that, "Donald and Rosie, they're getting fantastic ratings, they're getting publicity, they're really using it as a marketing tool, not because they are enemies, and I understand that only too well."
So I say again, AA-HA!! I am not surprised, and I have to agree it worked...they certainly got people sitting up and paying attention, including yours truly. I started to enjoy it almost as much as televison wrestling...you know deep inside it's phoney, but ya still like to watch....
Now for the unwashed among us, and for those of you who just bought a computer and got an internet connection, here is what happened...it's enthralling....Last month the Trumpster said that Miss USA, Tara O'Conner could keep her title of Miss USA regardless of being involved in some underage drinking. This was pretty nice of the Trumpster, who apparently has the say about the title because he owns the beauty pageant...you can own one of those?? I'm thinking a Miss Silverhorn Mountain pageant is on the way!!
Anyway..on with the story. It seems that Rosie O'Donnell, one of the stars of the televison program, The View, took a little issue with that and made a statement to the effect that the Trumpster didn't have the right to be, in her words, "the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America." Which now that I type that, does sound kind of strange....
The Trumpster wasn't about to take that with his hair all out of place, so he came back with some choice words of his own, perhaps verifying that his moral compass might be affected by magnetic north, as he resorted to shorter statements, calling Rosie a "loser" and a "degenerate" Which of course we all know is ____________ Ha!! (do you think for one second I am putting any word in that blank??)
After a lot of back and forth and a media bruhaha which included sucking Barbara Walters(The View) into the fray at one point, the Trumpster said he was finished with the feud. Then he started it up again....tricky Trumpster....
In the end, if it really is the end, The Trumpster said, "In a way it's wonderful she doesn't like me and I don't like her. There is nothing wrong with that."
There...that ended things...or did it? Now Ivana Trumpster is suggesting that it may have had an element of publicity to it...uh-huh...do ya think?
Well, if that is true...does anyone else wonder why Ivana has now come out with that little tidbit? Could it be part of the grander scheme to keep this going by getting it back in the headlines? Clever...hmmmm
So...if this was a publicity stunt, maybe Rosie's latest comment about a recent Oprah Winfrey Show featuring Shawn Hornbeck who many of you know was kidnapped but has now been reunited with his family.
On a recent episode of "The View" Rosie said she was appalled that Oprah had the young fella on her show. Rosie's words were something to the effect of, "As a parent, it shocked me that they would allow him to be in front of the media after four years of, in anybody's estimation, pure hell."
That doesn't seem to be aimed at Oprah necessarily, more at the parents or guardians of the child, although Oprah had to feel some of the sting, after all it is her show. But the talk on the street is that Oprah, nice lady that she is, doesn't get into bruhaha's the same way that Rosie and Donald like to get it on....
Oprah is all lady, and classy at that. I doubt anyone could lead her down a path of media mongering....no matter how hard they tried. Yes, it sounds like I am a fan of Oprah, which I am not, although I have nothing against her either, other than Dr. um..Phil, whom I cannot really take to on any level at any time....I dunno about you, but I find him a little too self rightous for my liking....
PARIS HILTON FOLLOW-UP
Frequent readers know that Paris Hilton just plead out a driving under the influence charge and had to pay a fine of about $1500 in addition to legal fees etc. Now I see that there is a website selling her belongings....
Could this be a sign that Paris is looking for cash to pay her driving under the influence fines? Ah...No...c'mon she's got the bucks. Actually it appears to be a bunch of stuff that someone has managed to acquire including photo's, diaries, home video's, recorded phone calls..uhuh? and love letters, among other things..
The web site is called ParisExposed.com but before you go dashing off over there, and I know you want to...it's gonna cost you about $40 for access to the site...that changed your mind didn't it?
Rumor has it this is a bunch of Paris Hilton stuff that was in storage and someone....forgot to make the storage payments and it eventually ended up sold...and bought...and now it's sorta for sale again...or at least you have to pay to look at it...
Paris' spokesperson said they were going to explore their legal options...I guess they don't want to pay to see it either...
Robert Burns Day
Break out your kilt and cook up a haggis, and of course a wee dram of whisky, today is Robbie Burn's birthday, a big celebration for the Scottish and lovers of Robbie Burns poetry. For the benefit of the unwashed among you, Robbie Burns, or Rabbie Burns as he is called in his homeland of Scotland, is a famous poet, famous for many a fine Scottish poem, but the one we all know is Auld Lang Sin which we all sing on New Year's, although we may actually forget we sang it the next morning, and no one really knows the words...I'm not even sure how to spell the title...
But, I always remember Robbie for this one, perhaps you have heard it,
Had we n'er loved sa kindly
Ha' we n'er loved sa blindly,
N'er a met and n'er a parted
We ha n'er a been sa broken hearted.
Is tha' wee poem not the bonniest wee thingy ye e'er a h'rd
Well, that's all for tonight...I hope that's enough celebrity stuff to hold you over until Britney goes without her panties again.....

Paris Hilton Guilty and Amsterdam Statues
Hey Silverhorners,
How ya doing? A little better than party girl Paris Hilton, who as I understand it has been placed on probation for 36 months on top of having to pay some fines...poor girl...Paris didn't put up a fight, I guess she knew her dress was up...I mean the jig was up...so she plead no contest to Alcohol-related reckless driving.
I don't know much about alcohol-related driving except that you shouldn't friggin do it, no matter who your Daddy is...
Much to the disappointment of the guys with cameras, Paris declined her invitation to court and sent an emissary in the form of her lawyer instead, actually her 'team' of lawyers..Howard Weitzman and Shawn Chapman Holley, not that their names matter one little bit to you or me...nope, I already got my lawyer picked out, Johnney Cochrane...did he die recently???
The fun thing for the lovely Paris is she might get to attend some school parties and dances because the Judge ordered her to attend an alcohol education program...much to the delight of a bunch of other drunks waiting their turn to be judged...I heard several of them volunteered to take an alcohol education program with her...even one guy that was answering to a simple charge of littering....
Ms Hilton also has the option of reducing her probation time if she partakes of some community service, but she hasn't decided on that one...one community service might be to stop dragging Britney down the party road...All told it cost the poor waif about $1500 in fines and costs...just a little bit less than one of her shoes....
Paris met up with the strong arm of the law back in September when she failed a field sobriety test while on her way to get a burger following a day long music video shoot.
Hilton told the media through her publicist that she was happy the matter was over...well that is at least what her publicist said...maybe he told her to say that, I dunno, after all he is a publicist...that is what they do...I think I need one...then maybe I wouldn't say half the stupid stuff I say here...
Celebrating Hookers
In other important nudes...I mean news...Amsterdam, the City Of Lights, no I have that wrong, Amsterdam, the City Of Red Lights, is getting a new attraction to draw tourists and celebrate a long infamous heritage.
Yup, in the Red Light District, which I am told has a lot of red lights, not sure why, they are erecting a statue to honor those charming prostitutes known the world over as hookers and whores, ladies of the evening, etc...Ah leave it to those umm..Dutch..I think...they love their Hollendaise Sauce...wooden shoes and their prostitutes...
The statue is going up, along with other things, and will be unveiled, along with other things, around the end of March. It was designed by Els Rijerse, OK I will help ya out, "ELLS RI-JERSE"
The umm....sweet little lady who commissioned the piece, Mariska Majoor, a former umm..sweet little lady prostitute, said "In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength,"
The statue is made of bronze, "shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world." which reminds me of many a girl from my past, always looking out into the world, or somewhere else....There is no word on what position the woman is in.....but I am thinking a trip to Amsterdam for research is in order....I might take this assignment myself....
WhooHoo! leave it to the Amsterdammers...
See ya!
How ya doing? A little better than party girl Paris Hilton, who as I understand it has been placed on probation for 36 months on top of having to pay some fines...poor girl...Paris didn't put up a fight, I guess she knew her dress was up...I mean the jig was up...so she plead no contest to Alcohol-related reckless driving.
I don't know much about alcohol-related driving except that you shouldn't friggin do it, no matter who your Daddy is...
Much to the disappointment of the guys with cameras, Paris declined her invitation to court and sent an emissary in the form of her lawyer instead, actually her 'team' of lawyers..Howard Weitzman and Shawn Chapman Holley, not that their names matter one little bit to you or me...nope, I already got my lawyer picked out, Johnney Cochrane...did he die recently???
The fun thing for the lovely Paris is she might get to attend some school parties and dances because the Judge ordered her to attend an alcohol education program...much to the delight of a bunch of other drunks waiting their turn to be judged...I heard several of them volunteered to take an alcohol education program with her...even one guy that was answering to a simple charge of littering....
Ms Hilton also has the option of reducing her probation time if she partakes of some community service, but she hasn't decided on that one...one community service might be to stop dragging Britney down the party road...All told it cost the poor waif about $1500 in fines and costs...just a little bit less than one of her shoes....
Paris met up with the strong arm of the law back in September when she failed a field sobriety test while on her way to get a burger following a day long music video shoot.
Hilton told the media through her publicist that she was happy the matter was over...well that is at least what her publicist said...maybe he told her to say that, I dunno, after all he is a publicist...that is what they do...I think I need one...then maybe I wouldn't say half the stupid stuff I say here...
Celebrating Hookers
In other important nudes...I mean news...Amsterdam, the City Of Lights, no I have that wrong, Amsterdam, the City Of Red Lights, is getting a new attraction to draw tourists and celebrate a long infamous heritage.
Yup, in the Red Light District, which I am told has a lot of red lights, not sure why, they are erecting a statue to honor those charming prostitutes known the world over as hookers and whores, ladies of the evening, etc...Ah leave it to those umm..Dutch..I think...they love their Hollendaise Sauce...wooden shoes and their prostitutes...
The statue is going up, along with other things, and will be unveiled, along with other things, around the end of March. It was designed by Els Rijerse, OK I will help ya out, "ELLS RI-JERSE"
The umm....sweet little lady who commissioned the piece, Mariska Majoor, a former umm..sweet little lady prostitute, said "In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength,"
The statue is made of bronze, "shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world." which reminds me of many a girl from my past, always looking out into the world, or somewhere else....There is no word on what position the woman is in.....but I am thinking a trip to Amsterdam for research is in order....I might take this assignment myself....
WhooHoo! leave it to the Amsterdammers...
See ya!

GIDDY-UP SILVERHORNERS!!! WE"RE GOING TO A WESTERN!!
Howdy Pardner,
Yee Haw, it's been a long time coming but finally Hollywood has come out with another western...no not the sandwich...a movie, a western movie, you know the kind, with ruggedly handsome heros..no not the sandwich...the heros...and sexy barmaids who tried to please a man instead of...oops going down the wrong road there....
We can thank Mel, of Mel Gibson fame, and his company Icon Productions for getting us back home on the range. The new big screen production is called "Seraphim Falls." which I think is pronounced, SA-RA-FIM FALLS or if you are a true wrangler at heart, you will pronounce it, "thet thar movie."
It's been quite a long time since I sat in the Silverhorn Bowling Alley, Movie Theater and Arcade to watch any kind of a movie, infact the last one, apart from the DaVinci Code, was probably Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" a true epic of violence and revenge that made me hanker for a horse and a couple of amigos to ride the range with in search of bad guys.
Western's are always so, um...epic...and you can usually count on some spectacular scenery with big skies and high mountains not unlike old Silverhorn before the glacier melted...
Yup, this one promises to be no exception and offers a chance to get us back to the Western and the core family values they always offered...along the way you get an opportunity to watch Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson shoot it out over beautiful mountains, while others in the movie get shot, stabbed, punched, kicked, frostbitten, burnt, dragged alive by horses, trampled by buffalo...well...some of that I made up, from a movie in my mind, but I am hopeful...I doubt old Mel's company is going to disappoint me...remember Braveheart??
Don't ask me the plot, I don't know it, but normally this genre (that means type) have something to do with tracking down a wrong doer and bringing him in, and normally the tracking goes well, but the guy seldom lives to be 'brought in'
From what I've read SA-RA-FIM FALLS is set following the Civil War and one guy is chasing another guy...you get the picture...I bet one of them is wearing an old Confederate Army coat or hat or pants...they always are...
Seraphim Falls stars Liam Neeson, Pierce Brosnan and the lovely Angelica Huston, man I love those names...why couldn't I have a name like that..."Pierce Parker" or "Rob Neeson" or Pierce Liam...or Angeli...ahh..I am digressing.... I can't wait to see it....it's a Samuel Goldwyn Film, and it's unfortunately it's rated R for violence not nudity...
Did I mention a horse gets disembowelled? How often do you see that?

"Git Your Rubbers Martha -The Glacier's Meltin !!"
Hey Silverhorners! Well it looks like we are gonna be trading in our Silverhorn Mountain Skis and ski boots for a pair of chest waders...yup, scientists in Vienna, (that's in Austria) have announced that glaciers are going to disappear from the Alps by 2050....they are melting...if that is true, the little patch of snow atop Silverhorn must be gone now...I'll have to look in the morning...
REUTER's have reported today that the glaciers are dropping at about 3 percent per year according to a guy called Roland Psenner from the University of Innsbruck's Institute for Ecology, hereinafter know as Rolly from UOIIFE (for those of your reading aloud, that is pronounced ROLL-LEE from YOU-O-I-FEE...
Rolly summed it up in one sentence, and I might add, a simple sentence which is quite good for a scientist...in Rolly's words, "The future looks rather liquid."
The 'experts' at the Annual Conference of Alp Experts on the Alps, ACOAEOTA, pronounced AA-KOE-A-TA (no connection to LAKOTA although no one at the conference appeared to be suffering from arthritis pain) stopped short of blaming global warming...and as a nice change of pace, didn't blame Al-Quaida either....
The experts did call for a review of the flood control measures in place in the valley...I dunno about you, but that seems quite practical to me, which is another nice surprise considering 'experts' are involved.
This is no laughing matter, so if you are laughing stop now...this is a global problem, at least according to the World Glacier Monitoring Service, WGMS, (pronounced W-G-M-S). The good folks at WGMS (trust me, knowing these acronyms will help ya if there is ever a test, or you get on Jeopardy) are watching 30 sheets of ice on nine mountain ranges worldwide and say the ice is going away....talk about your boring jobs..imagine just sitting there watching ice melt...kind of like waiting in line at the bank...
Not only is this a big deal because the glaciers are the largest source of fresh water...the stuff you drink....I drink rum usually, so am a little less concerned...however I digress...here's the thing, these glaciers are very popular with skiers and snowboarders....OMG (OH MY GOD) all those skiers and snowboarders running around with nothing to do...geez...I had no idea of the impact here...something has got to be done...never mind the water supply, I know some skiers and they get pretty antsy when they aren't hurtling down a mountain between trees at breakneck speeds....
One of the experts said, "a bad year for a glacier is a dry winter and a hot summer." and he went on to clarify what a good year for a glacier is saying, "What's important for a glacier is winter snow accumulation and a cold summer with not a lot of melting," Uh-huh...just how does one go about getting one of these 'expert' jobs....? Imagine you'd turn on the news to hear this:
"Robert Parker, self proclaimed rum drinker and ice cube melting expert, (in addition to blogger) says, "What's important for an ice cube is cold temperatures, a power outage is not good for a tray of ice cubes in your freezer."
Well, enough of that, nuff said..we've melted that down to a puddle...drained all the good out of that one...flooded the valley so to speak...
So in summation your honor, I didn't take the Mr. Brown's pig I....oops..wrong summation, sorry.
Here 's the deal on glaciers, as far as I can tell, and folks I gotta tell ya, if you haven't figured it out yet, I can't tell much...Glaciers have been melting forever, that is why we have rivers...however, it does seem like they are melting just a wee bit faster than usual these days, global warming perhaps...an anomoly perhaps...climatolgists and weather forecasters are not exactly known for being right all the time now are they....?
But before you sell your skis and buy a boat, Switzerland's Great Aletsch Glacier is a half-mile thick and has a ways to go...
Man-made or otherwise, things they are a changing...

The Little Grey Haired Guy is Getting a Raise
Whoo Hoo!! The influence we have here on Silverhorn Mountain never fails to amaze me. I just read that CNN anchor Anderson Cooper (known hereabouts as the little grey haired guy) has reportedly just put pen to paper and inked a new deal with CNN that promises him at least $4 million per year...(that's four million dollars...U.S.) See kids, it pays to learn to read and it pays to go out in hurricanes...and it pays to get mentioned a few times in The View From Silverhorn Mountain.
Now before you get too carried away, I'm sure his mention here a few times played a favorable role in his contract negotiations, but wasn't the only reason...I mean c'mon do you think I am delusional....? Wait...don't friggin' answer that...
Reuter's and the Hollywood Reporter are reporting that this more than doubles his previous salary while still maintaining his parttime job moonlighting on the CBS show "60 Minutes."
Wow! The little grey haired guy is doing good...I wonder if it has anything to do with his choosing not showing the tape of the Saddam Hussein execution?....oops...I almost set myself off again into a long diatribe about how disappointed I am that CNN apparently only shows the news that it feels is appropriate for us to see...whew...glad I didn't get caught up in that one again...the next thing and I would have been preaching about Michele Manhart's right to pose nude in Playboy...OK..OK where is my medication....????
I gotta go watch Criminal Minds, I think the guy gets away this time....

This Is Not Threat
Hey Ho Silverhorner's It's me again! Your faithful scribe, hard at work, "doing the research so you don't have to."
What do you think of this, Reuter's Life is reporting that a Cambodian woman who disappeared in the jungle for 18 years before being found last week, wants to go back!! Can ya blame her? Sources close to her said it was because she had a look at stuff on the internet...
In other news, an old fella in Bethlehem Pennsyvania got a surprise visit from Secret Service Agents because he wrote a letter to the editor regarding Saddam Hussein's execution. The agents expressed concerns that he was threatening President Bush.
The agents searched the home of Dan Tilli, an old fella of 81 years, and even took his picture. The Secret Service Agent In Charge in Philly, a guy with a dark suit, dark glasses, a microphone in his sleeve and a receiver in his ear...(you know the type) Bob Slama, said it was the agency's duty to investigate.
But not to worry, Slama went on to say that "The agents almost immediately decided Tilli was not a threat." Hmmm....'almost immediately???' ummm...what exactly is 'almost immediately'? Wouldn't you think it they could figure out he wasn't a threat 'immediately'? He's 81 years old for heavens sake...he probably has trouble peeing, never mind harming anyone....
Special Agent In Charge Slama, (I love that name) went on to say, "We have no further interest in Dan."
Geez, now they are on a first name basis with the old guy.
So what exactly did poor old Dan Tilli say in his letter to The Express-Times? Well it seems he ended a commentary on Saddam Hussein's execution with the line "I still believe they hanged the wrong man."
Uh-oh...I can see why that could be interpreted as a threat...(have you noticed that people seem to be on edge these days?...that's why I decided to make The View From Silverhorn Mountain a little 'edgier' this year.)
Mr. Tilli said the statement was not a threat, yeah right buddy..sure sounded like one to me...Tilli said in his defense, "I didn't say who, I could've meant Bin Laden." Yeah...sure...that's not what the Secret Service thought, obviously....
I guess Mr. Tilli is not new to encounters with guys in suits, the FBI know him too, having visited him last year when he wrote a letter suggesting a civil war to unseat President Bush...oh Dan...you like living dangerously I guess...
The old scribe said that the agents let their guard down when he showed them a scrapbook of some 200 letters he has written over the years, most of them on political issues.
The agents told him to keep writing but not to make any threats....I still don't see how his statement could be a threat, but I don't own a dark suit and sunglasses, or an earpiece radio. Freedom of speech is a complicated thing in the United States these days I guess...
It's a good thing that Dan doesn't have a blog.....
No wonder that Cambodian woman wants to go back to the jungle....
Uh-oh...better be clear here...None of the above is intended as a threat to anyone either living or dead, or of this world or any other world, nor is it meant to be serious in any way, shape or form. If you think otherwise, you better go Here and get your membership card.

Pardon My Carbon
Hey Silverhorners!!
I just read that Prince Charles, or "Chuck" to his friends, has cancelled a skiing holiday in an effort to reduce his "carbon footprint". Apparently he has been criticized for creating carbon....uh-oh..
It sounds like he is doing this because 'officials' are going to publish the amount of greenhouse gases he produced this year....geeez...they measure that...what next...??? How do they do that? Man, it must suck to be royalty....if they start measuring the gas I produce I am in a lot of trouble...
Prince Charles' carbon is going to be published along with his annual office accounts later this year and targets are going to be set for the reduction of gas emmissions from his office and household...those British...have they no shame?
I know this has been a problem with cows for sometime, but I hadn't heard the same about Royalty although I have been suspicious about it for some time....have you noticed the look on Camilla's face when she is standing beside him...I think that the Prince must have some serious gas issues...
Chuck was criticized for planning to fly to New York to receive an award for his work saving the environment. As near as I can figure, he and the charming Camilla are still planning to go to New York, but they won't be going skiing in Switzerland. While in the U.S. they are scheduled to see some youth development, urban regeneration and environmental conservation projects.
So far there has been no mention of them coming here to the Silverhorn Lodge for one of our famous Baked Bean and Brown Bread Suppers....

Michele Manhart - Freedom's Folly?
Hey Silverhorners. Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. It's the weekend yippee!!
From time to time we get comments on The View From Silverhorn, and most of the time I am content to let them sit in the comments box below the post, risking never being seen again. But...occasionally we get one from someone that we have really, really had and effect on, for better or worse, and they let us know. Those are the ones I like to give a second glance, and if possible repost for everyone to see.
We like a little debate here on the Mountain, and are not afraid of a critical review or comment. This one is no exception. It seems our post on Michele Manhart has gotten the attention of someone by the name of MSgt...who wrote a comment to the post. Here is what he had to say:
"Airman is the term given to everyone in the Air Force; just as Soldier is for the Army, and Marine is for the Marines. Since the statement by Air Force officials was referring to everyone in the AF, the plural, "Airmen" is the correct term. I am so tired of idiots, who don't understand what it is like to be in the military, who assume they know something about it. She directly violated regulations she vowed to follow when she enlisted. That is her real uniform, whether or not the photo was staged or not. Had she posed for Playboy with a made up name (like they don't do that, huh) and a made up story about who she was, nothing would have ever come out about it. The fact that she is in uniform, shown "working" for the Air Force, and the story is written to explain her position and duties in the Air Force, puts her in complete violation of rules she agreed to follow. She should definitely be kicked out of the AF; hopefully with a dishonorable discharge or at the very least, a bad conduct discharge. I don't want her in my Air Force!!!!!!!!!!! She is worthless."
Well..well....what about that.... The Master Sgt sounds pretty serious, something we aren't too familiar with here at Silverhorn. He took issue with several of my comments, beginning with my comment about "Airmen". That's because I mentioned that the military must be in trouble if they are calling a girl who just posed nude in Playboy an "air-man
He further explains that Airman is the same as soldier for the army and marine for the marines...nope..it isn't the same, it's just that the air force doesn't have a name for it's members, particularly female. If it were the same, we would call a person of either sex in the army an 'armyman' and a marine a 'marineman' I dunno, almost sounds like the Air Force might have some sexist issues going on....
The eloquent MSgt, went on to say he was tired of 'idiots who don't understand what it is like to be in the military, who assume they know something about it."
I think the good MSgt was calling me an idiot...Well, that isn't very nice, but I can't argue with that, here I am on a Friday night typing a response to him when I could be out having a drink or sleeping or reading Playboy for the articles....yup..I am an idiot....goes without saying...but thanks for pointing that out. In fact, I think he may be a regular reader if he knows I am an idiot....geez, everyone is on to that by now....
MSgt goes on to say Ms Manhart violated regulations...perhaps, I wouldn't know the regulations of the Air Force, but judging from MSgt's comments I assume they have one that states "an Airman shall not pose nude for Playboy Magazine"...which brings up the whole 'airman' thing again...
The Sarge says it would have been OK if Manhart had faked her name and uniform, nobody would have cared. Perhaps, but what would be the point of that. Besides, nobody likes a woman who fakes it....Is her posing in a magazine not a reminder that the many brave men and women serving their country (whatever country that is) are humans too, with skin and bones..and dreams and aspirations like the rest of us who are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of duty to their country or cause?
Apparently the good sargeant thinks it's OK for a woman to pose nude in a magazine, as long as she isn't in the air force or military...that's a bit of a double standard...
Whether or not she broke the rules of the Air Force, I don't know, and if she did, well, she has gotten her just deserves. Did she set out to bring dishonor to the U.S. Air Force? I highly doubt it. In fact I think her motives were probably honorable on some level. Will everyone agree...not bloody likely....
MSgt doesn't want Michele in his air force...well I suppose if you asked her Michele may not want him in her air force...
The United States Of America wants the world to believe that freedom is the answer, and that Americans all live in freedom. Freedom of choice,, freedom of speech,, freedom to do what they want, and freedom from tryanny...and...that's not all, they want that for the rest of the world...apparently the only place their philosophy doesn't apply is their own military....In the words of the good MSgt, "I am so tired of idiots..."
Why shouldn't Ms. Manhart have the freedom to pose nude or otherwise in Playboy? Who cares if she is an 'airman' 'airwoman' or 'airhead'??
I am not suggesting everyone should strip off for a Playboy photo shoot, but if you want to do that, go for it!
I believe Michele has the right to choose to do whatever she bloody well believes and wants to do...and nobody should have the right to stand in the way of that...
To become offended and fire her ass out of the military for taking her clothes off for a few nude pictures is a reminder of what living under military rule must be like...Kind of like making a woman cover up and wear a 'burka' don't you think? And we all know how well that goes over with freedom fighting equality loving Americans....
I am so tired of idiots who talk about freedom but don't know anything about it.
Whew..... I think I am finished. I love your comments...and believe it or not, I'm really pleased that MSgt took the time to write. Keep them coming....and Michele..You Go Girl!!
As an added bonus those of you who are interested, (and over 18) I believe you can find a link to Michele Manhart's pictures,

From time to time we get comments on The View From Silverhorn, and most of the time I am content to let them sit in the comments box below the post, risking never being seen again. But...occasionally we get one from someone that we have really, really had and effect on, for better or worse, and they let us know. Those are the ones I like to give a second glance, and if possible repost for everyone to see.
We like a little debate here on the Mountain, and are not afraid of a critical review or comment. This one is no exception. It seems our post on Michele Manhart has gotten the attention of someone by the name of MSgt...who wrote a comment to the post. Here is what he had to say:
"Airman is the term given to everyone in the Air Force; just as Soldier is for the Army, and Marine is for the Marines. Since the statement by Air Force officials was referring to everyone in the AF, the plural, "Airmen" is the correct term. I am so tired of idiots, who don't understand what it is like to be in the military, who assume they know something about it. She directly violated regulations she vowed to follow when she enlisted. That is her real uniform, whether or not the photo was staged or not. Had she posed for Playboy with a made up name (like they don't do that, huh) and a made up story about who she was, nothing would have ever come out about it. The fact that she is in uniform, shown "working" for the Air Force, and the story is written to explain her position and duties in the Air Force, puts her in complete violation of rules she agreed to follow. She should definitely be kicked out of the AF; hopefully with a dishonorable discharge or at the very least, a bad conduct discharge. I don't want her in my Air Force!!!!!!!!!!! She is worthless."
Well..well....what about that.... The Master Sgt sounds pretty serious, something we aren't too familiar with here at Silverhorn. He took issue with several of my comments, beginning with my comment about "Airmen". That's because I mentioned that the military must be in trouble if they are calling a girl who just posed nude in Playboy an "air-man
He further explains that Airman is the same as soldier for the army and marine for the marines...nope..it isn't the same, it's just that the air force doesn't have a name for it's members, particularly female. If it were the same, we would call a person of either sex in the army an 'armyman' and a marine a 'marineman' I dunno, almost sounds like the Air Force might have some sexist issues going on....
The eloquent MSgt, went on to say he was tired of 'idiots who don't understand what it is like to be in the military, who assume they know something about it."
I think the good MSgt was calling me an idiot...Well, that isn't very nice, but I can't argue with that, here I am on a Friday night typing a response to him when I could be out having a drink or sleeping or reading Playboy for the articles....yup..I am an idiot....goes without saying...but thanks for pointing that out. In fact, I think he may be a regular reader if he knows I am an idiot....geez, everyone is on to that by now....
MSgt goes on to say Ms Manhart violated regulations...perhaps, I wouldn't know the regulations of the Air Force, but judging from MSgt's comments I assume they have one that states "an Airman shall not pose nude for Playboy Magazine"...which brings up the whole 'airman' thing again...
The Sarge says it would have been OK if Manhart had faked her name and uniform, nobody would have cared. Perhaps, but what would be the point of that. Besides, nobody likes a woman who fakes it....Is her posing in a magazine not a reminder that the many brave men and women serving their country (whatever country that is) are humans too, with skin and bones..and dreams and aspirations like the rest of us who are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of duty to their country or cause?
Apparently the good sargeant thinks it's OK for a woman to pose nude in a magazine, as long as she isn't in the air force or military...that's a bit of a double standard...
Whether or not she broke the rules of the Air Force, I don't know, and if she did, well, she has gotten her just deserves. Did she set out to bring dishonor to the U.S. Air Force? I highly doubt it. In fact I think her motives were probably honorable on some level. Will everyone agree...not bloody likely....
MSgt doesn't want Michele in his air force...well I suppose if you asked her Michele may not want him in her air force...
The United States Of America wants the world to believe that freedom is the answer, and that Americans all live in freedom. Freedom of choice,, freedom of speech,, freedom to do what they want, and freedom from tryanny...and...that's not all, they want that for the rest of the world...apparently the only place their philosophy doesn't apply is their own military....In the words of the good MSgt, "I am so tired of idiots..."

The Doomsday Clock - Does Anyone Know What Time it is??
Hey Silverhorners!
Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. Are ya happy to be here? Or are you dumb, in which case you should go HEREand be processed.
Well, old Anonymous is at it again...I don't know who he is, and cannot find a numbe for him or her in the phone book, but they have left a comment on one of our posts. He or she is one of our most frequent commentators. This time it was a plea for me to bring Marcello back....apparently they feel he keeps me in check....
I do miss the little guy...but...his replacement is doing OK...although you know the French...sometimes very tempermental...he also wants to publish this in French and English...geez...I have trouble enough with my current language, gobbledegook....
Well Anonymous, I miss the little guy too...but...it's just the way it is I guess...he had his View and I have mine...he didn't really want to go to Iraq but I sent him...he hasn't been the same since...as for the French guy, well...he is only a temp...we are still on the lookout for a replacement....
Ya know, the funny thing about the above is that a newbie reading this blog will have absolutely no idea what the Hell I am talking about and probably click 'next' real quick...or else call the police and report some kind of strange internet communications.....
So on to other things, maybe something funny!!
In Washington today scientists moved the Doomsday Clock two minutes closer to Midnight...uh-oh...I think I picked the wrong item for funny...oh well..it's gotta be done...and I love a challenge...
For the unwashed among you, the "Doomsday Clock symbolizes the annihilation of civilization"...oh-oh...moving it ahead...this cannot be good. It seems global warming is heating up...and is one of the reasons for the time change. Geez global warming gets blamed for everything....whew...is it just me, or does anyone else find it hot in here...?
But all is not lost. You can relax...I'm here looking into these things...you know the Silverhorn Motto.."We do the research so you don't have to"
I wouldn't put much stock in scientists who cannot even set a clock. They have been trying to get the time right since 1947. That's when they set it up the first time, warning people of the dangers of nuclear war. I'm thinking they can't tell time....
This is where our research dollars go...picture it, a bunch of over educated nerds in thick glasses, wearing white lab coats, standing around a big clock trying to figure out what time it is...
They set it for five minutes to midnight....earlier today...ummm...more than five minutes ago...I am still here...are you?? I wonder if they remembered to change the batteries...we'll be in a lot of trouble in the spring when the time goes ahead...
Might be kind of fun to sneak in and set it exactly on midnight...then bang a couple of pots together...

Scotland Wants to Leave Britain Britain wants to Leave Britain...
Hi, welcome to Silverhorn Mountain. We're here and still going strong, even without whatshisname...oh yeah,
Marcello I understand he is drinking a bit since he left us...too bad poor little fella can't hold much liquor.
Well they are at it again in Scotland...yup...talking about separating from Britain and going it alone...those fiesty Scots..they never give up, but they do lose interest...it's been 300 years since they joined Britain.
But the thing is, they aren't alone, opinion polls are indicating that a majority of English as well as Scottish want to separate. This brings up an interesting question, who would the English be separating from? I mean are they not essentially Britain...I know, I know, Britain is a lot of places, but let's face it, the English are Britain.
When I think of Britain, I think of London, not Scotland, when I think of Scotland I think of 1972, a winsome lassie a couple of years older than me, I think her name was Heather...no wait we went for a roll in the heather...her name was..umm...ahh...well, lets just say I enjoyed exploring Scotland.....
OK, I know you aren't getting it...so let me explain further. It is all about what they are called and it has to do with the "ish" You see, the Britain includes England, Ireland and Scotland. ...stay with me folks this is deep...talk about it with your University prof's they will be impressed...anyway, back to the explanation...People in Ireland are Irish Scotland's folks are Scottish. and England people are stuck-up and pompous...oops..I mean English Now, originally I was going somewhere with this but for the life of me I don't know where...oh yeah, together they are British
I wonder if we should move The View From Silverhorn Mountain to Britain because most of the time these posts are Foolish

Donald Trump On Hollywood Walk of Fame
Hey Silverhorners!! Welcome to the View From Silverhorn Mountain. It's a c-c-c-colddd
d-d-d-day her on the Mountain and it sound like tomorrow isn't going to get any better...uh-oh..don't worry though, I will loan The Wife my parka when she goes out to start my car in the morning....
So lets go somewhere warm...where...oh let's see, how about Los Angeles where
"The Trumpster" Donald Trump had his star unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Hollywood Boulevard to be exact...
There is no proof to the rumor that Barabar Walters nominated him...
The Trumpster as we like to call him here at the Silverhorn received his star for the highest number of televised comb over hair flips...ahh..well...no...it was for the best dramatic appearance in a televised daytime talk show bruhaha...ahh...no..for his ongoing feud with the girls on "The View" in particular, Rosie O'Donnell....nope.
Actually he was recognized for producing and hosting a reality show on NBC called "The Apprentice" but then you knew that didn't you?
Yup, The Trumpster has a pretty successful reality show going on, and I think the Hollywood types thought it might really work up Rosie if Donny got a star before her...woohoo!! Which of course might just make for some more controversy which of course makes for great daytime television...Last week the issue became a big deal between Rosie and Barbara Walters and people were tuning in...what would you rather see, some guy bragging about his upcoming movie? or a fight between cohosts...maybe even a...shall I say it....? Sure...Catfight!!! If only they can get it going again...
To rub it in, "The Trumpster" said, "It was a really nice moment in my life."
Rosie and Donnie have been going at it since December when Rosie said that "The Trumpster" didn't have the "right to be the moral compass of America." and he responded eloquently by calling Rosie a "fat pig" and a "loser"
There is absolutely no truth to the rumors that Rosie was seen heading down Hollywood Boulevard late this afternoon with a jackhammer....
Todays Question
Who do you think has nicer hair? Rosie or Donald?

The Juicer Is Full of Holes
Hey Gang. Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain...I am a little despondent tonight as I just discovered some bad news. It seems Marcello, our Chief Garden Gnome and Head Researcher here at Silverhorn Lodge has started his own little place on the internet.
He is claiming "artistic differences" as his reason for ending his affiliation with Silverhorn. The truth is, Marcello got his nose out of joint when I sent him over to Iraq, and hasn't gotten over it. In addition, I think he made friends with the little grey haired guy on CNN...what's his name...Cooper, Anderson Cooper..I have a feeling they might be in cohoots (that means working together)...However, we are still good 'friends' and hopefully we'll be able to get him back once and awhile for a guest piece.
So, I am on the lookout for a new Chief Researcher. In the meantime, I have contracted with a temp agancy for a replacement...turns out, garden gnomes are in big demand these days so I had to settle for somebody else....his name is Meeko..and he is French, which will help with our plans to go bi here at the Silverhorn...Here he is, busy researching a story on what's really in dog food......
In other, completely unrelated news, Orange Juice Simpson has said recently that a chapter in his yet unpublished book that puts forward a theory of how he might have killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend is really a work of fiction from a ghostwriter and is not a confession.
The odd thing is that O.J. says the book has "many factual holes in it" ....hmmm...factual holes...that he knows about...he knows the facts...
As we all know, a little thing called 'double jeopardy' keeps O.J. from facing the same charge after having gotten off, so he can be a little cavalier at this point.
Mr. Simpson, or as we like to call him, "the Juicer" was charged, tried and acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman. You must remember the saying, used by his defense lawyer, "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit" The jury, apparently all lovers of cute rhymes followed through with an acquital.
Later, a civil jury, not so enamoured with nice rhymes, later held him liable for
the killings. Go figure that out...he was acquitted for the murders but found liable for the murders...oh the U.S of America...what a cool place. Where else can you be cleared of making a mess, but still end up paying for it....
Well, that's it for tonight, I am off to see what dear, little, old, pathetic Marcello has come up with on his
blog...maybe I'll leave him a comment...tell him I miss him...

Bonjour, Et Vu Bi? and The Poseidon
Bonjour! Comme tailez-vous? Hey les Silverhorners!
In their latest attempt to convince Canadians to become bi, Canadian scientists have announced that bi people can delay the onset of dementia by up to four years compared with people who only speak one language...(what did you think I meant..?)
In a recent study from York University, researchers found that the extra effort to use more than one language every day helped boost blood supply to the brain which in turn helps nerve connections stay healthy.
Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia, as the disease gradually destroys the inflicted's memory. There is no known cure...which is the same as saying there is no cure...
The study found that the average age for the onset of dementia was 71.4 years, but for those in the study that were bilingual, the age increased to 75.5.
Of course this is great news for the Canadian government who have been trying for years to make the country speak French as well as English to pacify the Province of Quebec. So far all they have succeeded in doing is make many of us demented.
We watched the remake of "The Poseidon" last night,(Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Josh Lucas, Jacinda Barrett and 1000's of drowned extras) giving me yet another reason not to spend my vacation on a cruise ship. I can add 'rogue wave overturning ship' to the other reasons which include, no money, sea sickness, sharks, giant squid, fog, icebergs and did I mention, no money...?
It's actually kind of a cross between a spell binding and depressing movie, as more and more things go wrong throughout the entire adventure. It is based on the old adage, when things go wrong, they really go wrong...I think that is an 'old adage' It is around here....
It was kind of fun guessing who would be the next person among the survivors to not survive....I was right once...the person in the movie that I most identified with, the single, handsome, heroic, brave, smart guy did survive much to my relief...
That brings up an interesting question, is it just me or does everyone end up identifying with a particular character in a movie? I assume yes, that is what makes movies and books successful, but, do people ever identify with someone other than the heros or heroines...for instance the bad guys...do you identify with the bad guys? What about the dumb characters...(frequent readers, you know where this is going don't you? SShhhhh...don't spoil it for the others) Do you identify with the dumb characters? If you do, you should
click here!!
I see Marcello, Chief Garden Gnome at the Silverhorn, dropped in last night to take part in what I think he called a 'meme' which, to the unwashed, is essentially a group blog thingy where everyone responds to the same questions, or relates a particular event in their life etc...
So, that being said, I think we should have one ourselves...so here is your question, please answer it using our comment form, or on your own blog, and just post a link back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain, (of course post your blog addy in our commments so everyone can check out your answers) This will drive crazy traffic to your blog...not crazy volumes of traffic...just crazy people....
So...now we need a question...OK let's try this one:
If you were hanging off the side of a 20 story building with someone hanging on to your leg, would you kick the person off your leg if it meant your own survival?

Marcello's On Deck Tonight!!
Hey Silverhorners.
It's me, Marcello, Chief Garden Gnome here at Silverhorn Lodge and I am also the Entertainment Director. The Boss is drunk so he asked me to step in and provide you with something to do tonight.
Soooo...we're trying something new! We are participating in Patrick's Weekender. The task is to answer the following questions. Feel free to try these yourself. Patrick's post can be found at patricksweekender.blogspot.com
In the meantime, here are the questions and my answers (in bold)...that is my answers are in bold...below the questions...c'mon figure it out....
1. If you knew you would die the following day, what would you do with your blog: edit some parts of it and leave it up for posterity, leave it as it is, or delete it?
If I knew I was going to die I would leave The View From Silverhorn Mountain up for all eternity, or until Blogger ripped it off of here. Quality electronic literature such as this fine publication should be left for the world to see. Perhaps someday it will be used in classrooms to teach children....
2. Other than your own blog, what single website do you visit the most?
Well...I usually visit a private chat room for garden gnomes, unfortunately, I cannot give you the url because then it wouldn't be private...besides you are not a garden gnome...the Boss on the otherhand visits his ad provider site regularly to see if he has made any money.....
3. How many different email accounts do you currently own, counting work and home?
One, but I usually just use the Boss's because I like to read his mail...
4. Take the quiz: How addicted to the internet are you?
I am on the internet every chance I get, which is not very often. Normally only when The Boss is too drunk or too tired to be bothered with the blog, in which case he gets me to write it, like tonight.
5. Are you more likely to visit the internet the first thing in the morning or the last thing at night?
It's usually at night, (see number 4 above-he's seldom drunk in the mornings...although it has been known to happen)
6. Who was the last person you had an email/instant message conversation with? When was the last time you saw that person in person?
I was chatting with a foxy little gnomette over in Arkansas just about an hour ago...she promised me a good time if I ever get that far.

Michele Manhart Relieved of Duty- What???
Hey Silverhorner! How are you today, welcome to The View From Silvehorn Mountain.
According to a story from Reuters, officials at the Pentagon have let it out that U.S. troops are getting fatter and drinking more than they did before they started mixing it up in Iraq.
The Pentagon survey folks eh..surveyed 16,000 of the military and found out that 60.5 percent more are overweight than they were at the last survey in 2002.
They also found out that 44.5 percent like to do a little "binge drinking," up from 41.8 percent in 2002.
And, they discovered that troops deployed to Iraq from 2002 to 2005 were more stressed, drank more, smoked more, and used drugs more than those who did not go to Iraq...no surprises there...I'm pretty sure I would take a drink or two if I was in Iraq...or Afganistan...or Scotland...or Florida...or....well you get the picture....
So they have found out that the troops aren't in very good shape...well, that's funny because it seems at least one of them is in remarkably good shape...good enough to pose in Playboy. Now you knew I was going to talk about U.S. Air Force Sargeant Michelle Manhard...err I believe that is Manhart as soon as the story came out didn't you?
It's ironic, the same time they announce the troops might not be in great shape, they fire this lovely sargeant for proving to the world she is in great shape. Instead of firing her, they should be using her as their recruiting pinups...I mean posters...
The lovely Michelle is coming out in February's Playboy which of course will be on sale in January..which is a little like trying to figure out the Today Show when you are talking about what's on tomorrow, but as usual I digress....
Sources close to me say Sargeant Manhart was photographed in and out of uniform, holding weapons and wearing her dog tags....ooooohhh dog tags....sexy!
Obviously officials at the Air Force haven't seen the spread (oops sorry) yet, as their official statement is:
"This staff sergeant's alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Air Force's core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do," Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said in a statement.
OK....now here is why I get crazy....what a load of crap...this guy doesn't even know she is a woman...duhhhh....he says her actions don't meet the high standards expected of their "airmen" Ha Ha Ha Ha!! Somebody show this bozo the pictures...she isn't an airman but I bet if you asked an airman he would say she met his standards....I'm an airhead and she certainly looks like she meets my standards of excellence.
So what she posed for the magazine...big deal...they show pictures of the poor troops getting killed and maimed all the time...that is ok apparently, show one looking good and see what happens...this is probably going to be a favorite on the walls of tents all over war torn Iraq. Is this another conspiracy? Are they annoyed because Michele is proving the survey wrong?
As far as excellence in all they do, what could be more excellent than being good enough to be featured in Playboy, something many of us aspire too...well...not me...well maybe...I suppose...as long as it's tasteful....
I think this young lady should be reinstated poste haste...that means quickly...
Well...again I was hoping to write a piece about the growing problem of procrastination in society today...but I have to go cut my toenails...I will write it later...

Intimate Glimpses of Paula Abdul - Coming To A TV Near You
Hey! Welcome to The View From Silverhorn Mountain, your place on the internet for...umm..well for just about anything, but normally whatever takes my eye...notice I said "your place on the internet" not mine, mine is of course a little site called "WWW.WetnWild Wome..." err...oh-oh..never mind....
Well, we made some inroads into the wide world of entertainment yesterday, being one of the featured blogs on "What the Bloggers Are Saying" on the Unofficial Fan Website for the Today Show...but that was yesterday on Today so I guess its over....fame is soooo damm fleeting in this business...
I have to admit, when I saw our little blog on their site this morning, my old weak heart did a flip flop and I briefly thought about calling my boss and telling him to shove a fire hydrant up his...ummm...but fortunately (in hindsite) The Wife and Marcello were close by and pulled the phone jack out of the wall...It seems the Unofficial Website For The Today Show is not exactly a ticket to fame and fortune...I got more action from the Saddam Video...
The funny thing is, we got on the website by talking about the Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Walters and the Trumpster feud, which just the night before I had said I would never mention again...good thing I have absolutely no determination...and it looks like I just mentioned it again...for some reason I can't seem to stop talking about the Rosie-Barbara-Donald thingy...it's got me...oh my....
But enough small talk, lets cut right to the chase...On the View today the girls and Donald...just kidding...
The Associated Press are reporting that Bravo is making a TV Series about the life of..get this...this will blow you away...it did me...sit down before you read this...Paula Abdul...Paula Abdul...see...told ya it would blow you away...
Now I don't know about you, but I can't think of anything more worthwhile than a TV series about the lovely and charming Paula Abdul...but wait! There's More!! The series is going to follow her life as she films a new season of Fox's "American Idol" YeeHaa! Can life get any better? Why, of course it can, because....
We're Not Done Yet!!! Nosiree...the folks at Bravo want us to get our money's worth, so they are also going to show Paula making a movie called "Bratz:The Movie" and also we can watch as she develops her own perfume and cosmetics line!! This is gonna blow the Soprano's right off the air...
Don't get me wrong, Paula seems like a nice enough person, in fact she appears to be a sweetie, expecially compared to Simon on American Idol, and that whole business with the lovely Paula and the young fella last year did have a certain allure to it...maybe if they made a show about that...
The President of Bravo, Lauren Zalaznick said that Paula's show is going to show us "an intimate glimpse at the real woman behind the headlines." Whooa...intimate glimpse...does this mean there might be nudity? Cause that might make a difference for me...and you too...don't try and pretend otherwise...
Ya know, somedays I just want to take the televison outside and cut the screen out of it, hang it from a tree and fill it full of suet...and least then the birds and neighborhood cats would be entertained....
I am beginning to think their is a conspiracy going on where the goal of the conspiracists is to slowly but surely turn our brains to cat litter by exposing us to more and more crap...what's worse, there is a great big bunch of people out there...(that is the only way I can describe them) who will suck this stuff up like a heavy duty shop vac....Now before you ask, I don't know for sure who is behind the conspiracy. The Masons? I doubt it..too simple a plot for them...Priorie de Sion...nah..bigger fish to fry...the government...maybe...trying to convince more folks to join the army and go fight in Iraq to escape it all...Hollywood...doubtful, they are just pawns...but...What about this...Bollywood....now...there is something worth following up.
Think about it...what's next...An intimate glimpse of the real woman behind The View???
OK enough of that.
I was also going to write about a recent study that shows procrastination is getting worse, but I think I will put that off until tomorrow......

Madonna and Rosie & Do Ya Think Rod's Sexy?
The Rosie, Barbara, Donald Thingy
I know I wasn't going to mention this again, but just when I said that, Madonna came along and took Rosie O'Donnell's side in the feud prompting me to sit up and take notice because...well let's face it...Madonna is like me in 2007...'edgy' and I need all the 'edgy' I can get.
Madonna was on Today today....I mean she was on the Today Show, which of course is on today, so I shouldn't have had to explain it...although...what if it was a rerun..what is it called? I hope it was on today, because if it wasn't I might have to say she was on Today yesterday...which is really confusing...and if she is going to be on tomorrow...um..that wouldn't be today...I wonder how they handle that....no wonder I seldom watch the show, I have absolutely no idea when it is on....no wait..it's on today...it was on today...it will be on again tomorrow...so I guess until tomorrow they can't call it anything...but now that I think of it, by the time you read this it will probably be tomorrow, which means Madonna couldn't be on Today because she was on yesterday...
Well...whenever she was on, if she was on, Madonna said she didn't think it was fair that people were giving Rosie a hard time...so in light of that, I am certainly going to lay off Rosie...not that I was ever on Rosie...err...
Madonna also said something that concerns me...ME....she said, "but I have a feeling that if every stand-up comic was penalized for saying politically incorrect things or provocative things, I think they'd all be hung in the public square."
I'm not comfortable with that...I mean hanging a deposed dictator is one thing...hanging a stand up comedian..not that I am a stand up comedian...I'm more of a sit down comedian...not that I am a comedian...I am a blogger...and proud of it...wow I am rambling tonight...I gotta find my medication....
Animals On The Attack
As you know, (if you don't you have no one to blame but yourself) we have been tracking strange activities of animals for some time now here at Silverhorn Mountain. Tonight is no exception. A woman in Enfield Conneticut was sitting on her porch minding her own business when a racoon snuck up behind her and grabbed her leg.
In her words, "It was a huge raccoon..."
But this was no wimpy Conneticutter...she grabbed a chair and beat the deranged little masked biter. Good for her, because as it turns out, this fella had rabies, and now the poor woman has to undergo rabies treatments, which is a nice way of saying she has to have a bunch of needles...someone told me that they have to inject the vacine directly into your brain but I don't believe that....
'Officials' said it was the third time a raccoon had attacked, but the first time a human was attacked. Some dogs were attacked...and sadly a couple of them had to be um...ahh...I can't say it...well they had to be aaahh...I hate it when dogs are involved...I much prefer a dictator hanging...
Don't panic though, the only way to get rabies is to get bitten by a rabid animal or by saliva getting into an eye or mouth, or into an open wound. So today's Silverhorn Safety Secret is, don't make a rabid animal mad, but don't try to kiss one either...sorta just stay neutral...then get a gun....
Rod Stewart told Reuter's Life that he wasn't going to sing "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" anymore. The 62 year old rocker feels he is just a little too old for that song. However, he is in pretty good shape, and is considering changing the lyrics to "Do Ya Think I'm Sixty?"
Rod has 7 children with 5 different women and is getting married for a third time this summer..(figure that out)Obviously his fiancee, Penny Lancaster thinks he is sexy...
On another note, (get it? 'note' music...the above paragraph...duh)The Dixie Chicks are going to be on the Grammy Award Show this year...yuck...can't say I am a fan...in fact I am removing their name from this blog, in order to avoid giving them any free publicity...and starting over...so instead of what you just read, read this:
The D_ _ _ _ C_ _ _ _ _ will be on the Grammy Award show this year. Like Rod Stewart, they won't be singing "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" because there is no point...
Well that's about it for tonight, or I thought it was until I stumbled across this little gem...it seems the U.S Defense Department have told American contractors to be on the look out for Canadian coins which may have a tiny radio transmitter hidden inside...
The Canadian government, while denying any knowledge of the coins, is pretty excited, it's the first time in years Canadian money has had any value in the United States....

Suicide Pigs On The Attack and Rosie, Barb and Donald
Hey! How you doing? Welcome to The View From Silverhorn Mountain.
Speaking of "The View" I was planning to do a follow up on our post about the feud between Barbara Walters, Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump. However, I am less convinced it is worth the keystrokes...Yes, the feud is still going on, but Barbara and Rosie came out in a united front today on their show "The View" giving the audience the impression that if they were having difficulties, they have since moved on. Because I am quite frankly, bored with that...I mean, really...I don't give a dam if those three nuts want to fight...
But for those of you that are interested here is a synoposis of what was said so far:
"That poor, pathetic man" said Barb.
"You know, he just can't — he just can't let go, but we're moving on," said Barb.
(The female hosts all high fived that one....)
No one mentioned the Trumpster by name, instead called him "he" and "that guy"
"The man is obsessed with me, and I'm happy to say his show tanked," said Rosie.
"They didn't even have the courage to mention me by name. It was sad to see Barbara read her statement off a cue card." said the Trumpster.
"she lied to both of us." Trump in a letter to Rosie, referring to Barb.
"don't worry, she won't be here for long" - Barb
"Donald, never get in the mud with pigs." - Barb
"Nothing could be further from the truth," - Barb.
"Trump has no right to be the moral compass for 20 year olds in America.-Rosie
So that's it folks, that's the kind of crap that is going on...don't say I didn't tell ya about it....I won't be reporting anymore about it unless Barbara and Rosie get into a mud wrestling cat fight on the show...
Now on to things of a more sensible, worthwhile nature....
ANIMALS ON THE ATTACK
Frequent readers of this epic work know that our famous Silverhorn Researchers have been following a trail of animals on the attack. We've reported on crocidiles, gators, sheep, bears, Kangaroos, cows, and even sturgeons and dolphins...and most recently we brought you the story of the farmer in Norfolk, outside of London, England who was knocked down by a female pig and then attacked by the whole herd, leaving him pretty bruised up...
Well, well, this doesn't appear to be an isolated incident. It is a well known fact that pigs are intelligent, although smelly and kinda messy if you ask me...Well a farmer in Northern Serbia, which is just above Southern Serbia, lost his farmhouse to fire after three little pigs escaped from the pigpen.
As far as investigators can piece things together, the swine broke out of their enclosure and then brazenly strolled into the living room of the farmhouse, knocked over the television which burst into flames when the television tube burst.
Investigators are divided on the reason the oinkers set the fire which ultimately made them into nice, crispy, succulent bacon (is anyone else getting hungry?)
One investigator has a theory that the three little pigs must have been watching the CNN News about suicide bombers in Irag and Afganistan because all three died in the resultant fire...talk about your weenie roast...
Another investigator has expressed the theory that they may have become disillusioned with life after watching 'daytime TV' and decided to end it all...
Hey, I said they were intelligent, that doesn't necessarily make them sensible...
By the way, the title of this post has nothing to do with Rosie O'Donnell, Donald Trump or Barbara Walters. It just happens that our researchers have discovered the three little pigs were called, Rosie, Donald and Peter...
Speaking of "The View" I was planning to do a follow up on our post about the feud between Barbara Walters, Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump. However, I am less convinced it is worth the keystrokes...Yes, the feud is still going on, but Barbara and Rosie came out in a united front today on their show "The View" giving the audience the impression that if they were having difficulties, they have since moved on. Because I am quite frankly, bored with that...I mean, really...I don't give a dam if those three nuts want to fight...
But for those of you that are interested here is a synoposis of what was said so far:
"That poor, pathetic man" said Barb.
"You know, he just can't — he just can't let go, but we're moving on," said Barb.
(The female hosts all high fived that one....)
No one mentioned the Trumpster by name, instead called him "he" and "that guy"
"The man is obsessed with me, and I'm happy to say his show tanked," said Rosie.
"They didn't even have the courage to mention me by name. It was sad to see Barbara read her statement off a cue card." said the Trumpster.
"she lied to both of us." Trump in a letter to Rosie, referring to Barb.
"don't worry, she won't be here for long" - Barb
"Donald, never get in the mud with pigs." - Barb
"Nothing could be further from the truth," - Barb.
"Trump has no right to be the moral compass for 20 year olds in America.-Rosie
So that's it folks, that's the kind of crap that is going on...don't say I didn't tell ya about it....I won't be reporting anymore about it unless Barbara and Rosie get into a mud wrestling cat fight on the show...
Now on to things of a more sensible, worthwhile nature....
ANIMALS ON THE ATTACK
Frequent readers of this epic work know that our famous Silverhorn Researchers have been following a trail of animals on the attack. We've reported on crocidiles, gators, sheep, bears, Kangaroos, cows, and even sturgeons and dolphins...and most recently we brought you the story of the farmer in Norfolk, outside of London, England who was knocked down by a female pig and then attacked by the whole herd, leaving him pretty bruised up...
Well, well, this doesn't appear to be an isolated incident. It is a well known fact that pigs are intelligent, although smelly and kinda messy if you ask me...Well a farmer in Northern Serbia, which is just above Southern Serbia, lost his farmhouse to fire after three little pigs escaped from the pigpen.
As far as investigators can piece things together, the swine broke out of their enclosure and then brazenly strolled into the living room of the farmhouse, knocked over the television which burst into flames when the television tube burst.

The Principality of Silverhorn & Vlad The Impaler
Hey Gang, welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. I hope this post finds you all well and happy, enjoying life in 2007...
I am not sure how much longer I will be posting the View From Silverhorn Mountain. It seems that the worlds smallest country is for sale, and quite frankly, I have been talking to the wife, and we are thinking about a move....
It sounds like a pretty good deal, a little small, but I can adjust. It's called Sealand, although if I buy it, I will be changing the name..that's one of the perks of owning your own country. Besides, I don't like the the idea that my country sounds like a water park.
Sealand, as it is currently known, is actually two concrete towers in the North Sea, which the real estate agent assures me is not as cold as it sounds. It's about 7 miles off the coast of England and it's outside of Britain's territorial waters...which is always good when it comes to buying concrete towers...
But that's not the best part, it seems this country is a 'principality' and we all know what that means...uh...well it means that yours truly, would be a...you got it, Prince!!
Most of the hard work is done, the previous Prince, Prince Roy sewed up a flag, got a national anthem and minted silver and gold coins....coins...I like that, of course they will have to be changed to display a nice likeness of yours truly, Prince Bob on both sides....
I am a little concerned that no mention has been made of things like electricty, fresh drinking water, bathrooms, heating systems, etc, but I'm told the view is decent, if you like fog...and seagulls...and having your own gold and silver coin mint, that has got to be worth something.
Two towers sounds practical, I can lock The Wife up in one of them...hey, as the Prince, I can pretty much do whatever....I might even invite Britney and the girls over for a party or two...this is sounding better and better....(remember, I promised to be a little 'edgier' in 2007)
The real estate agent says the place was originally built as an anti-aircraft base to repel German bombers, and a retired army major, Paddy Roy Bates took it over about 40 some years ago. Each of the towers has 8 rooms, that is 16 rooms, a few more than we have here at Silverhorn Lodge, even if we count the outhouse...
I wonder if the anti-aircraft guns are still there...they would make a nice pastime, of course I will be declaring the airspace above my principality a no fly zone, which will make it perfectly acceptable for me to shoot down passing planes.
Don't worry, if I'm the successful bidder, I won't give up blogging, but I will probably change the name of this blog to The View From Silverhorn Tower. I've even got my new email addy figured out, princebob@silverhorntowers.northsea.calm
If the Principality of Silverhorn doesn't come to fruition, there is still hope. I just had a call from my real estate agent, who wanted to let me know that there is a castle in Bucharest, Romania for sale that might interest me. This is not just any old castle either, (nope, this one has a history. The agent tells me it was owned by a little old vampire from Transylvania, someone who went by the name Vlad the Impaler which has a nice ring to it don't you think? It's on top of a big rock and surrounded by mountains...oooh...mountains....
Legend has it that Vlad, a Prince among men, had a nasty habit of impaling wrongdoers by impaling them on stakes and once impaled all the elderly people in a community...this was before they invented 'retirement villas' and something had to be done with the old folks...Vlad was obviously a doer....
Apparently he was named after his father, unfortunately the Transylvania Priests at the time were poor spellers and made a boo-boo on his birth certificate...One cannot help but wonder if things would have turned out differently if only they could spell...his father's name was Vlad the Inhaler, who had a nasty habit of sniffing horse droppings...no one knows why...(hey, it was the 1400's, times were different)
Our researchers cannot find any evidence to prove that 'Vladdy' (as his kids called him) ever really owned the castle, he just used it whenever he dropped into Transylvania to do some much needed impaling...(the place was famous for Vampires, and Vlad must have known about the old stake throught the heart routine).
I dunno about you but I am thinking it might make a nice Bed and Breakfast....

Donald Trump, Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters
My researchers are falling down on the job...I just found out about the Donald Trump, Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters mixup...I suppose you all know about it already....
In case you don't, here is what I heard....it seems Donald and Rosie had a falling out sometime back about the Miss USA pageant, which neither of them have gotten over, I think Rosie was pissed because of something Donald did, calling him out on his penchant for making moral decisions just because he owns the show...I have an idea what it was about but morally, I don't think I will get into it...so Donald sent Rosie a letter saying Barbara told him working with Rosie was like "living in Hell" and when confronted by Rosie, Barbara denied saying that, prompting Donald to tell Rosie that Barbara was lying, Barbara has denied saying anything, saying "nothing could be further from the truth" but then Rosie called Barbara a liar backstage at "The View" which is their television show, and is mad that Barbara hasn't called Donald a liar yet...
I think all of this is strategic buildup for "The View" which the rumor mill seems to think will be a really, really big show on Wednesday....I'll bet they have it out...Yee Haw..
In this bloggers humble opinon, if that's what this is all about, I will be hard pressed not to believe that it is nothing more than television hype, and my opinion of all involved will fall dramatically...although...come to think of it...they don't have far to go....far as I'm concerned the only one on the View any good is the makeup person....think about it...
What? What's the matter with that? Hey we posted the link to the Saddam execution video and Britney's upskirt photos...here at Silverhorn we've become a bit...well...'edgier' for 2007....

New Skin At Silverhorn Mountain
Hey Silverhorners !!
Don't worry it's me....we just made a few changes around here tonight. So what do you think of the new 'skin'? That's blogger talk for 'template' which is...well...ahh...the thingy that you are looking at when you are reading the world famous View From Silverhorn Mountain.
So why the new skin you ask? Oh..you didn't ask...well I am going to tell you anyway, but you have to keep it quiet...
It all started last week when we posted that little link to the Saddam Hussein execution...it seems that there are some folks who weren't happy to see him go..and Marcello, just back from spending some time undercover, thought it might be a good idea for us to put on a disquise....just in case anyone came looking...
So here we are with a new 'skin'. Actually, I am only kidding about the disquise part...I mean c'mon you knew I was kidding right? If you didn'know I was kidding please go HERE
Actually, Blogger, our blog host site, has recently upgraded to what they were calling Blogger Beta, but they are now back to calling it Blogger again...it's a long story but don't worry, you don't need to know that part, it won't be on the test.
Sooo...everyone on Blogger before Blogger Beta has to eventually switch to the new old Blogger, and you know the Silverhorn Crew, we are always trendsetters in the world of blogging. So we waited until they had a few of the kinks worked out, and then pulled the plug on the old green Silverhorn template and switched.
We could have kept the old template, but after taking a vote, I thought it was time for some new skin....umm...not that kind of skin...blogger skin...it is more like cyber skin...err...OK I am way over my head now...in too deep....OMG I can't stop...maybe it's the new sexy blue and grey template...template...yeah, that is the word I was looking for....
So after a little deliberation, we took another vote and decided on the blue and silver-grey because we think it conveys the relaxed, open air feel of a mountain, but not just any mountain, Silverhorn Mountain. I can almost see the eagles nest from here....oh wait...that looks more like a seagull...
So we hope you like the new look, and I encourage you to change all your colors to blue and grey, someone said it's the new black...which I don't really understand, but it sounds good...

Confused Ducks, Makin Bacon and George Bush Rubs
Hey Silverhorners and Silverhorn Wannabees! Welcome to The View From Silverhorn Mountain. It's a beautiful summer day in the middle of January around here and except for some confused ducks that don't know whether to go north or south, things don't get much better.
In an effort to get the ducks that are hanging around the Silverhorn Duck Pond on their way before winter actually does start and they get frozen in, I have assigned Alonzo, our Silverhorn Lodge Gamekeeper the job of standing by the pond with a sign saying "Get!"
It took us about 3 hours to decide on the wording for the sign, but finally The Wife summmed it up when she said,"I don't think it matters a damm...I don't think ducks can read." Uh-huh....I knew that...
In another Animals On the Attack report, we have heard that a farmer in Norfolk, outside of London, England was attacked by a herd of his own pigs who were tired of his endless snide comments about 'makin bacon'
A sow, which to the uninitiated is a female pig, knocked the farmer over giving the rest of the swine a chance to attack. Investigators are questioning three little pigs, concerned about allegations this was a conspiracy....yup...conspiracy...they are everywhere folks...
The farmer suffered bumps and bruises and smells...but otherwise he is ok, He said he couldn't get wait to get out of the hospital and back to his farm for a big feed of bacon and eggs...
An investigator from the Coalition for the Ethical Treatment of Pig Prisoners, (CETOAP) told reporters they were heading to the scene immediately to investigate allegations that the pigs were being held in what amounted to a pig stye.
A police spokesman, I think his name was Bobby, said this was the first pig attack he had investigated, but didn't think prosecutors would push for the death penalty in light of the fact that the pigs were already living on borrowed time.
AM I STUPID?
A college kid from the United States was imprisoned for three weeks after being arrested trying to smuggle some condoms full of flour onto an airplane. Huh? Sounds like a bit of an airhead thing to don't you think? Me thinks notsomuch...this same student launched a civil rights case against the City of Philadelphia, (she didn't randomly pick Philly, that is where it happened) for wrongful arrest. The City and the student came to an understanding before the trial and she settled for $180,000...yup...I said, $180,000...that's dollars....I have only one question to ask ....Why can't I think of something like this????
RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH WORLD POWERS
President Bush is trying out some new stuff on his colleagues running some of the world's powers...It seems that last year the good President put the moves on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, giving her a nice neck massage...you must remember that...He came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders and squeezed...she is kinda cute...as world powers go...as I recall, her reaction to his err...um...rubbing..was one of shock...
So, not one to make the same mistake twice...um...this year, at the end of a joint news conference at the White House he promised her no more back rubs. She just smiled...I don't think he was very good at it...an official said afterwards that it was very likely nothing personal, "President Bush just rubbed her the wrong way."
In an official statement after the faux pas, officials said, that the President was a little confused about the expression "rubbing shoulders with the bigwigs"
I don't see him offering any back rubs to Canada's Prime Minister, Stephen Harper...or Britain's Tony Blair, although I have heard it said they are in bed together....which prompts the question, if they are not rubbing each other's backs, what are they doing...?
