Spring Southern Ohio Poultry Association Show 2008

Today was the last day of the Southern Ohio Poultry Association Spring Show 2008. It was a smaller turnout than usual. But explainable due to the economy and gas. Otherwise it was a very nice show, and some really nice birds. I took quite a few pictures and here are some of the better ones.

NAIS Removed From Farm Bill!

I received an e-mail from libertyark.net and it informed me that the letters and e-mails sent by an untold number of Americans persueded Congress to remove the provision to implement NAIS in the United States under the Farm Bill. The voices of these Americans have been heard and action taken! But the USDA is trying to shove NAIS into our society in other ways, so the war is not over yet. For more information, go to libertyark.net. Thank you for sharing your opposition against this outlandish plan. Have a great day and take care!


Its about time!

Its about right!

How many Americans?

I got an E-Mail today and I though I would share it with everyone. After reading this, think about who many Americans would be overjoyed just to hear this on the news!

Wouldn't It Be Great to turn on the T.V. and hear any U.S. Presidential candidate, Democrat or Republican give the following speech?

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq this action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of the countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the worlds nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on list 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraq war. Then every year there after it'll go to our social security system so it wont go broke in 20 years.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France...

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mez amies.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and Limos be turned over to the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2 its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway Immediately, we'll be drilling for Oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: Pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank You guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God Bless America. Thank You and Good Night.

Let me say, hats off the the author! This is just about perfect, and by golly its time!

Picture of the Day, or should I say the month........lol.

I really liked this one, I hope you all do too.

The sad thing is, this is sooooo true. Too bad I am the First Born!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Report

Well, I don't have a lot to report right know, just some little stuff.

My moms silkie mix hen has hatched four chicks so far, two partridge silkies, one black silkie and one white leghorn bantam chick. She has two more silkie eggs yet to hatch, when these last ones hatch I will try and get some pictures up for ya'll to see.

I am currently in the process of re-doing my website page again........lol. Well, I wanted to make it a little more user friendly and I have had quite a few people who were unable to use the links. The new page will have better linking and a large link database. I am also going to include some resource pages, with information on showing, washing, breeding.....ect. Hopefully I will have the site finished within the next few weeks. Work in progress, its taking a lot longer than expected. Also, if anyone has any information that they would like to add, let me know. I would like to get some resources on bantam ducks, peafowl, and turkeys.

I haven't been working much on my art lately, don't really have time to do it. I really need a studio, since most of my work is done on my bed...lol. I am hoping to have the Joseph drawing done by the end of the month.

I will be attending the Southern Ohio Poultry Association Lucasville Spring Show this month on the 24th and 25th. I will have quite a few birds for sale, silkies and leghorns so If you are interested in anything let me know to reserve the birds for pickup at the show.

In the future I do plan on being able to ship started and adult birds, this is also a work in progress.

Well, thats about it for now.
