After six years in which Britain has been regarded as friend and foe, liberator

handed over its last remaining command post in Basra, the base at the Shat

Tomorrow, the army will surrender its main base to the US army, clearing the way

a full withdrawal by early summer

It will give me a warm feeling in my heart if I see him on TV and he has that Gator blanket at FEMA headquarters whenever a storm is approaching. It will be kind of comforting." - Jeb Bush commenting on President Obama's newly nominated FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate

Stocks fell sharply at Monday's open after the White House rejected turnaround plans from General Motors and Chrysler.
A construction worker from Queens, New York, used Bernard Madoff’s prison number to play the lottery and won. The guy won $1,500. Bernard Madoff, of course, is in prison for luring money from rich people in a giant scam that promised to make them richer. But don’t confuse him with the state lottery, which lures money away from poor people in a giant scam that promises to make them richer.- Jay Leno

with all this stimulus money going to save jobs, it seems to me like they should
share this contract so they can save jobs here in America."

In its tireless effort to provide news and giggles for its readers, All Hat No Cattle offers this Monday glimpse back at the previous week with an emphasis on the weekend dump. (We mean the time preferred by government officials, politicians and titans of industry to release unsavory news in the hope it receives less media coverage – not the bathroom activity.)

OAKDALE, Calif. (AP) – The fundraising idea may seem a little nuts, but Oakdale's annual Testicle Festival is always a big hit. On Monday, volunteers with the town's Rotary Club plan to fry up 400 pounds of the private parts of bulls and serve them to diners who pay $50 apiece for the sit-down meal.
The event, whose proceeds also benefit the Oakland Cowboy Museum, has drawn an average of 450 people and last year raised $28,000.

God must be mad at Alabama, Mississippi
BILOXI, Miss. (AP) – A spring storm dumped heavy rains, baseball-sized hail and whipped up winds across the Southeast on Saturday, flooding homes and cars in parts of Mississippi and Alabama.
About 100 roads in southern Mississippi were impassable at the height of the bad weather because of the flooding, including the main route into Biloxi, Harrison County Emergency Management Director Rupert Lacy said. Some residents had to be rescued from their stalled and stranded cars, and others were helped from their flooded homes, Lacy said.

Jury acquits abortion doctor, but witch hunt continues
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – One of the nation's few late-term abortion providers was acquitted Friday of misdemeanor charges stemming from procedures he performed, but moments after the verdict the state's medical board announced it was investigating allegations against him that are nearly identical to those the jury had rejected.
Prosecutors had alleged that Dr. George Tiller had in 2003 gotten second opinions from a doctor who was essentially an employee of his, not independent as state law requires, but a jury took only about an hour to find him not guilty of all 19 counts.

WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republicans released their response to President Barack Obama's deficit-laden budget Thursday — a glossy pamphlet short on detail and long on campaign-style talking points.
It promises to simplify the tax code and cut income tax rates to 10 percent for people making $100,000 or less. The brochure itself promises to cut domestic spending below current levels, and that pledge seems to include Social Security and Medicare. Republican aide Matt Lloyd clarified later that the politically sensitive programs won't face outright cuts.
It's impossible to determine the projected deficit based on their offering.

The only lingering question, Potter told a House subcommittee, is which bills will get paid and which will not. He did say ensuring the payment of workers' salaries comes first. But Potter also said other bills may have to wait.
Potter's appearance came as the agency, which has lived on a reputation of serving through wind, rain and all sorts of obstacles, seeks permission to reduce mail delivery to five days a week. It also wants to change the way retiree health benefits are amassed to save money.
"We are facing losses of historic proportion," he said. "Our situation is critical."

(Greenwire) – Two House Republicans today will push to add an amendment to the
public lands omnibus that would codify the right to carry concealed weapons in
national parks, less than a week after a federal judge blocked a similar
proposal.
The amendment would reverse the Interior Department's 26-year-old firearms
policy by allowing visitors to carry concealed weapons into parks and refuges in
states with laws that allow concealed firearms -- even if those states have
outlawed concealed weapons in their own parks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An epidemic of drug-related violence that has claimed thousands of lives in northern Mexico and begun to spill over into U.S. border cities has once again thrust Mexico into the first tier of President Barack Obama's security concerns.
The administration announced that it is sending more federal agents and high-tech equipment to the U.S.-Mexican border in an attempt to blunt violence in both countries. One aim is to stanch the flow of U.S. weapons into Mexico, which Mexican officials say is fueling the drug wars.
The new steps are a response to a growing outcry by politicians in border states and on Capitol Hill . There have been more than 7,000 drug-related murders in Mexico since January 2008 and the violence, while largely confined to less than a half-dozen cities, is testing the Mexican government's security.
Lest we forget …
the moronic behavior of the past President who so seriously
harmed our nation, All Hat No Cattle now offers a different notable quotation
from George W. Bush each week.
“If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so
long as I’m the dictator.” – Dec. 18, 2000

Subject: Move on you're getting stale
Lisa,
Palin, Bush, and Cheney are old news. When are you going to do some in depth
analysis of the government's (AKA: Obama's) takeover of 'everything'?
Interesting article you posted:
"Thousands of military veterans across the South are waiting to find out if they
were exposed to infectious diseases by government clinics that performed
colonoscopies and other procedures with equipment that wasn't properly
sterilized."
The operative words here are 'government clinics". Only the tip of the iceberg
of what you'll get when the Government takes over ALL of health care.
Lisa, you need some fresh material if you're wanting some fresh cash to keep you
afloat. Obama is loaded with material...give up on the 'old news'.
WBarrow
Stale? Really?
You want AHNC to do in depth analysis of Obama's take-over-of-everything? This is a political comedy site not the NYTimes.
I've done a few dozen toons criticizing these bailouts with no strings attached, in case you haven't noticed.
Palin, Bush and Cheney are very much in the news, in case you haven't noticed.
I especially get angry when our veterans get poor health care, in case you haven't noticed. Oh, you did, you wrote me about it.
Maybe you're tired of all the damage Bush and Cheney did. I want them held fully accountable so no other president can do as much damage to our country and the world again.
Palin just keeps on giving great comedy material!
Fresh material for fresh cash?
What do you think readers?
