UFO political joke
Many will recall that July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and the federal government.
However, you may NOT know that in the month of March 1948, nine months after that historic day, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., Hillary Rodham, John F. Kerry, William Jefferson Clinton, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles E. Schumer, and Barbara Boxer were all born.
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? This piece of information may clear up a lot of things.

Strange facts and pig orgasms – unconfirmed
(Seen this one for years but still can not confirm its accuracy)
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death.
(Creepy.)
(I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour
( Don't try this at home, maybe at work)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
(Honey, I'm home. What the...?!)
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmmm.)
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(Okay, so that would be a good thing)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
( I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains
(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to, maybe even a chuckle. In other words, send it to everyone!
(and God love that pig!

Don't pump gas on MAY 15th - False chain e mail
NO GAS...On May 15th 2007 -
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th!"

The Week in Washington from Senator Martinez
The Week in Washington
Wednesday, Senator Martinez addressed the Mortgage Bankers Association. The senator was introduced by Mr. Kieran Quinn, the incoming chair of the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Thursday, Senator Martinez called efforts to tie emergency troop funding to a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq a dangerous effort. "This bill means we turn our back on our national security," said Martinez. "Our national security demands we let the generals on the ground tell us the best strategy going forward - not politicians in Washington." Click here to view a clip of the Senator's floor speech.
Senator Martinez praised the Senate's passage of the America COMPETES Act, a bill to improve educational opportunities for students! in the areas of math, science, technology, and engineering. "America has been the global leader in innovative technology, and we must ensure that we continue to hold that position in our competitive global market," said Martinez. Read more …
State Events
Senator Martinez announced that the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita will continue to receive housing assistance for an additional 18 months. Senator Martinez was notified of the joint decision by the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Thursday, Senator Martinez announced that Del-Jen, Inc. will receive more than $16 million in funds for their operation of the Gainesville Job Corps Center. "These funds will help prepare Florida's students to successfully join America's workforce," said Martinez. "! The Job Corps program provides an opportunity to those who might not otherwise have access to these services in preparing for their future." Read more …
Reminder: Northwest Florida Community Office Hours
Senator Martinez announced Community Office Hours will be held in Northwest Florida this month. Caseworkers from Senator Martinez’s Office will be available to assist with issues related to Medicare, Veterans benefits, Social Security payments, and other matters involving federal agencies.
Northwest Florida Community Office Hours will be held in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington, and Bay counties on Thursday, May 3rd, and Friday, May 4th.
Casework Corner
*A town mayor in Florida was working with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Program office for several years to resolve a situation regarding a COPS grant that the town received in 1996. The federal department conducted an audit and believed that the town supplanted the grant funds in excess of $600,000. The mayor contacted the Office of the Senator in order to have help in getting these allegations of supplanting funds dropped.
A caseworker contacted the DOJ for assistance; the Department reviewed their previous decision and found evidence that the town provided substantial documentation on how the grant was to be used for policing services. Consequently, the DOJ reversed their decision and the town will not be required to return the COPS grant funds.
If you have questions about a federal agency, please contact the Orlando Regional Office by calling (407) 254-2573 to speak with a member of the Casework Department. The toll-free number for Florida residents is (866) 630-7106. To find out more about how my Office can help you, go to http://martinez.senate.gov or stop by one of our scheduled Community Office Hours in your area.

Hate crime bill ACLU email
Dear Friend,
Hate crimes based on sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability are a daily event. You can do something today to help stop this problem -- while still protecting free speech.
For years, the ACLU had to oppose hate crime bills because they were written in a way that could also chill speech that was constitutionally protected. But this year, Congress has a chance to get it right.
A new bill, introduced by Rep. John Conyers, protects victims of hate crimes while still safeguarding free speech. Please take a moment and tell Congress to pass this landmark legislation.
Federal hate crimes legislation is necessary because sometimes, due to inadequate resources or bias against the victim, state and local law enforcement officers don’t act. By telling your representative to support the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (H.R. 1592), you can help reduce hate crimes and ensure that our laws are fully consistent with both the Equal Protection Clause and the First Amendment.
A vote in the House of Representatives is scheduled for this Thursday afternoon, May 3. Please take action now: Tell your representative to support H.R. 1592.
Representative Conyers' bill will go a long way toward ensuring that hate crimes are treated seriously. At the same time, this bill takes an approach consistent with the constitution: it shows that it is possible to protect victims of hate crimes without jeopardizing free speech or association rights. It includes an explicit ban on the use of speech or association to prove criminal activity, unless it specifically relates to the crime.
With voting expected this Thursday, there is no time to lose. There are two ways you can get involved right now:
1. Email your representative.
2. Follow up with a phone call urging your representative to vote YES on H.R. 1592 this Thursday, without weakening amendments and without sending it back to committee. Call (202) 224-3121 and ask for your representative by name. Or, use this link to look up their information and talking points.
By sending your representative an email and following up with a phone call, you can amplify your voice during this critical time.
Opponents of this bill have been hard at work flooding their representatives’ offices with calls and emails. It’s critical that we take action today to pass this important legislation.
Help protect civil rights and free speech. Urge your representative to vote YES on H.R. 1592.
Thank you for adding your voice to this fight.
Sincerely,
Caroline Fredrickson
Director
ACLU Washington Legislative Office
