Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a valid birth certificate.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barrack Hussein Obama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;V. Honor thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE:  This is not my work.

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 I am starting out on a trip of a lifetime. Three weeks + of riding around the country. &lt;br /&gt;The basic plan is to head out to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Sturgis&lt;/span&gt; for a most of next week.  We will be visiting the sights around there. &lt;br /&gt;Then we are going to head across the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;rockies&lt;/span&gt; to see the great salt lake and the salt flats.&lt;br /&gt;Next is a ride down the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;rockies&lt;/span&gt; to the grand canyon.  One of the guys I am riding with has a friend with a camp on a mountain overlooking the canyon.  A free stop with a view, can't get much better than that.&lt;br /&gt;From the grand canyon we plan on heading across rt 66 for awhile before heading south to the gulf coast.&lt;br /&gt;The last leg of the trip will be heading north up the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;appalachian&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;mts&lt;/span&gt; back to Massachusetts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still can't believe this trip is happening.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6827135603161409140-866974218962366877?l=blackstone-bills-briefs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blackstone-bills-briefs.blogspot.com/feeds/866974218962366877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6827135603161409140&amp;postID=866974218962366877' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6827135603161409140/posts/default/866974218962366877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6827135603161409140/posts/default/866974218962366877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackstone-bills-briefs.blogspot.com/2009/07/trip-of-lifetime.html' title='A trip of a lifetime'/><author><name>BlackstoneBill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03301267906749178888</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_dNHhhzFtn_o/SHNyOobFlyI/AAAAAAAAAAU/_hNWsY6rhlo/S220/meriding3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827135603161409140.post-7797514652613209052</id><published>2009-06-18T11:41:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T11:43:34.654-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Four Free Tickets</title><content type='html'>Four Extra Tickets&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend who has 4 extra free tickets for the Robbie Knievel(son of Evil Knievel) event at the Ford Center this weekend in Beaumont , Texas , if anybody wants them ...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's going to try to jump 10,000 Obama supporters with a bulldozer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted to try to jump 100,000 but the other 90,000 had to get in line for a government handout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should still be a good time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6827135603161409140-7797514652613209052?l=blackstone-bills-briefs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blackstone-bills-briefs.blogspot.com/feeds/7797514652613209052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6827135603161409140&amp;postID=7797514652613209052' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6827135603161409140/posts/default/7797514652613209052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6827135603161409140/posts/default/7797514652613209052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackstone-bills-briefs.blogspot.com/2009/06/four-free-tickets.html' title='Four Free Tickets'/><author><name>BlackstoneBill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03301267906749178888</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_dNHhhzFtn_o/SHNyOobFlyI/AAAAAAAAAAU/_hNWsY6rhlo/S220/meriding3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827135603161409140.post-3758536597009766513</id><published>2009-06-15T11:43:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T16:59:36.692-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A Saturday without rain!</title><content type='html'>This Saturday was the first day without rain in seems like forever. I dropped the cage off at the shop to have the oil and brakes changed. I then jumped on the bike with my wife for a little ride.&lt;br /&gt;We stopped off at the HD dealer cause my wife just didn’t have anything to wear for the 4th of July trip to Maine (I still don’t understand why last years shirts won’t do). In the beautiful weather seem to me like a waste of time waiting around for her to pick out cloths. When she finished we had enough time to ride the back roads for a couple of hours before having to get home. Was nice to ride again on a warm dry day. Sunday it was right back to rain and drizzle, looks like it will be that way next weekend also. What a shitty spring we are having up in the Northeast.
