What's even more embarrassing is the fact my Human Evolution lecturer showed us the video in a lecture as an example of how chimpanzees are remarkably good at copying human actions. Most people laughed, I facepalmed :D

This is just a tiny one, about as thick as an AA battery.

There was one about 4 times as thick eating a frog in the pond the other week :shock:

Well at least it was until the frogs screaming distressed someone enough to chase the snake off with a stick.

We have a lot of water moccasins in my region. I once found 5 living in my well-house.

Snakes in the yard are not as scary as Obama in the White House. Lost your job yet? A few voters are catching on. I spotted this button and had to get a photo of it. Anyone know where to buy these?

I did see the grin. I hope you only meant that as a joke.

Did I mention race? Sorry don't play the race card. It's a jobs, entitlements, and economy thing. If you look at the data on our national debt, the requierment to continue to borrow more and more money to stay solvent, it is exactly a Ponzi scheme. When it can no longer grow, it will fold like a house of cards. The debt ceiling was only a bump in the road to continuing the ponzi scheme. Race is not the issue. The socialist adgenda and unsustainable decificit spending while sending jobs overseas is the issue. The US has mostly gotten out of manufacturing due to labor costs. Where else do the poor have an obesity problem, cable TV and cell phones? The borrowed money will run out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

All Ponzi schemes have good payment records.. like the USA AAA credit rating.. until the new investors can no longer be found. Our borrowing is unsustainable and Standards and Poor have called us on it. Now we are attacking the messanger.

Cash for clunkers.. Governemt buys working cars and smashes them.. I get the bill. Obama Care, we get the bill. The bill enables the government to use Electronic Funds transfer to empty my retirement investments if I don't pay. Am I mad.. You bet. Is it because he is black? Do you have a clue yet? Playing the race card is simply an admission you have no clue to the issues and think it has to be about race. um no.. It is about policy.

I'm sure he did. Obama isn't the first black president anyway, he's the seventh mixed race president of the United States. Ho hum.
