Doing It Right, Doing It on Purpose, Doing it Awesome
[Cutting Down An Enormous Tree With Perfect Precision] (Viewer #8,441)
Any idiot can cut a tree down. A skilled woodcutter can choose the general direction in which it falls. But a master lumberjack can move a tree with surgical precision.
Scott of Scott’s Tree Service in Randle, Washington is such a lumberjack.
The roofs of the two buildings were about 4 feet apart. The tree had to fall through the middle of this narrow channel. Arranging this drop required precise planning:
“This is not a “Lucky Shot”. This had been planned and the ground prepared out there in the distance so the tree would not fish tail or twist when it hit the ground. The tree was perfectly straight and limb balanced. The falling cuts were gunned to the exact spot half way between the buildings. An appropriate face cut was used.”

One Way to Stop Obama
Desperate to boost their economy, Spain is planning sweeping income and corporate tax cuts.
The most likely result: expect President Obama to stop holding Europe up as a role model.
How to Pick a Religion
Should probably avoid the one that wants to kill everyone in your country and that deeply adores the worst President your nation has ever had.
I’m with the Mormons.

Visualize an Invasive Procedure
San Diego International Airport has opened its first-ever meditation room, designed to be a “serene place for travelers”.
Might work… if it’s a replacement for the TSA patdown station.
Obama Warned Us – American Families
President Obama: Gridlock and willful indifference can’t get in the way of hard working American families. #OpportunityForAll
@BarackObama
“But a wildly ill-conceived government health care program will do it perfectly.”
Straight Line of the Day: Germany Celebrated Winning the World Cup by…

Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Germany celebrated winning the World Cup by…
Culture Warrior
We’re to the last few days of the Liberty Island PubSlush campaign.
Now, we all talk about wanting a country where more people respected freedom, but too much of the battle is done in politics which is like trying to drag people along with us. We want people to happily go down the path of liberty, and for that, we need to fight on the battleground of culture. And that’s what I’m doing now; I’m out there in the trenches, writing novels and stories and getting ready for the culture war. And so are others like me. Well, not just like me. I think I’ve kind carved out my own unique niche. It would be weird to find someone just like me. He might then be the evil Jrank F., fighting on behalf of the left. Hopefully that’s not true.
So what was I saying? Oh yeah, there’s me and other conservatives out there getting ready to fight on the side of culture, and you can support us by helping Liberty Island get its start so it can be a proper publishing house. So give to the PubSlush campaign and choose from lots of different rewards. And as long as you give at least $5, you will get my first novel. And as a new special reward, if you give $35 or more, you’ll get a signed copy of my novel Superego along with whatever reward you signed up for. And my novel will be epic. Think of that: a 100,000 words written by me. Can you imagine what they’ll be? No, you can’t. Only I could imagine that. And only I could write that novel. Scifi action adventure with a punch of humor. It’s unimaginable how entertained you will be. I envy you. Until I remember I’m me.
So give to the campaign and spread the word. And remember: $35 or more gets a signed copy of Superego along with whatever reward you sign up for. And you only have until Friday to join in. So, let’s hit the $25,000 goal. And let’s win this culture war for the soul of America and liberty.
A Carney a Day…
Didya hear? Jay Carney is being considered for a new job. Spokesman for Apple.
Yes, that Jay Carney. Barack Obama’s own Baghdad Bob, Jay Carney. Former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. That’s the one.
According to reports — or several reports all quoting one source — Carney is being considered as the head of PR at the tech giant.
That’s not really what I want to hear. But, I’m sure some Apple bashers will love it. So, go ahead.
First, let me tell you that I’m not one of the Apple bashers. I’m typing this up on my MacBook Pro (my second Apple laptop), with my iPhone 5s (my third iPhone) and iPad Air (my second iPad) nearby. Oh, and the TV screen is showing content from my Apple TV (my second). So, no, I’m not an Apple basher. But, the Cupertino Kids are opening themselves up for it now. So now, go ahead. Bash away.
Let me offer a couple of topics, to try to direct this thing. Who would be a “better” head of PR than Jay Carney? Or, just as bad? Like Tommy Flanagen? The Jon Lovitz character, not that actor with the similar name, although maybe him, too.
Or Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf? You know him as Baghdad Bob.
Perhaps other suggestions for positions at Apple? If Jay Carney is a good fit, who else would be?
Random Thoughts: Israel, Errors, and Superman
Maybe they honestly thought Israel liked having rockets fired at them.
“No no no. We’re the Manson Family political wing.”
Good rule of debugging: A really esoteric sounding compiler error usually means a really simple mistake.
I remember when C compilers used to spit out the most complex sounding errors if you ever forgot a semicolon on a line.
You only have until Friday to give to the Liberty Island PubSlush campaign and get rewards (like my novel).
Originally, Superman worked at a newspaper so he could hear about things as they happened. Nowadays, he’d just be a dork on Twitter.
Just saying the name “Jack Bauer” renders lesser terrorists unconscious.
Houdinez
A new report shows that 90% of illegal immigrants won’t show up for their court hearing, and simply vanish into the country, instead.
Democrats are outraged, since far too few stop at a voting booth on their way out.
