Cougar // MICHIGAN
They're at Alpena and moving south, following the deer herd.
This cougar was hit on M-65, just north of Long Rapids near Alpena, Michigan by a car MDNR had to come and put him down.
He charged at the MDNR officer in the process. And you thought no cougars lived in Michigan

Obama Snubs Nation's Heroes, Becomes the First President
to Skip Ball Honoring Medal of Honor Recipients in Over 50 Years

Barack Obama may have stumbled over his words briefly during his
inauguration, but he made an even bigger blunder later Tuesday evening.
The newly sworn-in President opted not to appear at what should have
been one of the most important Balls on his agenda that evening -
"The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball."
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was begun in 1953 for President Dwight
Eisenhower's inauguration. The event recognized recipients of the Medal of
Honor, the nation's highest military award. There were 48 Medal of Honor
recipients in attendance, who were undoubtedly disappointed by the new
Commander-in-Chief's failure to show. Over the past 56 years and 14
inaugurations, no President has skipped this event - until now.
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball is sponsored by the American Legion,
and co-sponsored by 13 other veteran's service organizations, including
those such as the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Military Order of
the Purple Heart.
Instead of attending this ball honoring our nation's heroes, Obama was busy
making stops at 10 other official balls. Obama and his wife's first stop was at
the Neighborhood Ball. From there they went to the Home State Ball for Illinois
and Hawaii, the Commander-in-Chief Ball, the Youth Inaugural Ball, and the
Home State Ball for Delaware and Pennsylvania. They finished off the night
with brief appearances at the Mid-Atlantic, Western, Midwest, Eastern, and
Southern regional Balls.
Celebrities were a plenty at the balls, with Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Mary. J. Blige,
Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, will.i.am, Sting, Mariah Carey, and
Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance at the Neighborhood Ball. In addition, the other
nine balls also featured a star-studded lineup including Kanye West and Kid Rock
at the Youth Ball, Marc Anthony at the Western Ball, and Cheryl Crow at the Western
Ball.
It was the party without all of the celebrities that Obama
skipped. The very people who he sought to have support
him during his candidacy and campaign, who have fought
to protect this country, were snubbed in favor of publicity
and the opportunity to rub shoulders - yet again - with the
out-of-touch Hollywood elite!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SHAME ON YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA. THESE BRAVE MEN CAME TO RESPECT YOU, YET
YOUR BLATANT FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THEM SENDS THEM AND ALL WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO DEFEND THIS NATION, THE WRONG MESSAGE. MAKE NO EXCUSES MR. PRESIDENT - WE NOW KNOW WHERE VETERANS STAND UNDER YOUR WATCH!
GO GATORS!!

I've read this before. I think it is true, but there is some ways you can tell for sure. Look it up on www.snopes.com. Anytime you read something in e-mails, that doesn't sound like it should be right, snopes will tell you if it has any validity.
For instance, we often get e-mails with some essay purportedly by Andy Rooney, or George Carlin etc. Snopes will tell you if Andy Rooney really did say that or if Carlin really wrote those things. A lot of these essays are things neither of those two raving Liberals would ever say. Snopes will give you the truth.
You keep trying there Rick, one day ....

Bro Wulf, You should read the article you linked. It says it is true. Obama didn't attend that ball.
Now, whether his snub was intentional or not, only Obama himself can answer that question.
But it is a well known fact that Obama has little respect to the United States armed forces, and we don't need Snopes or urban legends to tell us otherwise.
Go worship the narcissist Obama and be damned, as all you Liberals will be if you continue to allow him to blind you to the truth.
Thanks, Bro, for confirming the validity of the facts of Obama's snub.
Is this really you? Are you coming to this year's Bash?
Mark, we use Snopes freqently--Apparently the facts in this case are true...The Legion chose not to make an issue of it and was very gracious under the circumstances.
Yeah, it's me Rick.
Maybe, not sure yet. Star'll prolly make it tho.
