QUICK HITS - BACK IN DA SADDLE

Miss me? Probably not. While I was gone it seems that our socialist friend Claire got used and thrown to the side by Obama. It is kinda funny that she actually thought that Obama was going to put her on the supreme court. Face it Claire, you are an Obama whore whose payoff is going to be through his campaign fundraisers for you. And they say Pimping aint easy.......

1. Russian girl turns house pet.

2. Pink dolphin proves that contaminating waterways can be fun.

3. Our extremely butch head of homeland security barks at Canada.

4. PROBLEM SOLVED! White roofs will end global warming. That Obama guy has all the freaking answers.

5. I don't think that the NAACP has been notified yet that we elected a black president.

6. When will people learn that the world is safer with the mafia then without?

7. We have become a paranoid society. Why in the hell would we EVER think to prepare for a solar storm? Is this really a major concern right now? The douche bag that thought that NOW would be a good time to bring this up needs to canned.

8. Mike Tysons 4 year old daughter dies on treadmill.

9. Biden knows that Obama is a dumbass

10. Obamas Supreme Court choice is a racist. Big surprise right?

BILL SETS YOU STRAIT ON PAINT

Bill once again shows us why he is the best paint guy in JOCO.

Paint Warranties; The Real Scoop

We’ve all heard the claims of “lifetime” warranted paint or 25 year guarantees, etc. What does that really mean? Keep reading and find out!

So you think you need Lifetime paint, maybe your painter says you need it. Well, in my opinion most of the time, you don’t. Let me first say that the lifetime offerings from any manufacturer are of better quality than their other paints. You DO get a better paint out of the deal! The problem lies in the warranty. If you ever get the chance to actually READ the warranty, you’ll see that it only covers peeling and blistering caused by the failure of the product.

Here’s a little secret: The product almost NEVER FAILS! With modern manufacturing techniques and quality control, there is almost no chance of defective paint coming from the factory. They are doing a great job! When paint peels, blisters or fails in general, its usually a preparation problem or maybe even a water infiltration issue. These conditions are not covered by any paint warranty whatsoever and who can blame them? There are all sorts of painters out there installing their product. There are no training requirements or licensing needed to be a painter.

If you think you have a warranty claim, you will need to contact the store where the paint was purchased. You may also need to keep the original receipts or get in touch with your painter (if you can still find them!). The paint store will then send out a representative to look over the problem. The will give you their honest opinion of what went wrong. Don’t be surprised if he blames the painter! If you do qualify for a warranty claim, the warranty only covers the replacement of the product, NOT the labor! They will give you some paint, but you are on your own after that.

Also note that paint warranties generally do not cover fading of their product. We all know that paint fades, no matter who puts it on or what they use, it will fade. Fading isn’t considered a “failure” under the warranty. No matter what, you should plan to paint your home every 5-7 years in the Midwest. There’s just no other way around it. If that is the typical paint life, why spend the extra money on the lifetime product? They are banking on people moving every 5 years. The warranty is not transferable!

Lifetime paint generally costs the painter around $42 per gallon. The next step down is usually around $24 per gallon. That’s a difference of $18 per gallon. Take that times the average house needing 32 gallons of paint and you’re looking at a difference of $576! That doesn’t include sales tax or markup for the painter!

The bottom line here is this: do not hesitate to use the next step down from lifetime when it comes to exterior paint. Just make sure you or your painter uses 100% Acrylic Latex. Make sure your painter knows what he is doing when it comes to preparation and product application. Don’t be afraid to pay a higher price to use a reputable painter.

CHAPPELLE TUESDAY ON UMM WEDNESDAY

Fairfax Learning Center?

Question: If rain closes the Fairfax Learning Center and nobody there is receiving an education does the school really close? We all know that great educations always take place in vacant malls.

THE WIRE - Giving Credit

If the city isn't going to do anything about all the murders can we at least get the gang affiliations mentioned? I would like to know who is in the lead, who is shooting at a high average and which gangs are this years dark horses to take the lead.

There is no reason that we cant exploit gang banging for profit!

1. Belmont is making a strong showing this year in murders. I may have to add the street to my Top 10.

2. Do not get this confused with the government caring. Seatbelt enforcement laws are nothing more than ways to generate revenue.

3. The shooter in this east side shooting will be spending some much needed time working on his aim.

4. Further proof that West side gangs are no match for the East side.

AMERICANS THAT HATE OUR COUNTRY

HOW IN THE HELL DOES THIS CRAP HAPPEN? How is our own flag considered OFFENSIVE on our own SOIL? You have been in our country for 14 years YET it offends you?
I hope that this womans daughter bitch slaps you when she gets back from Iraq.

N. KOREA LAUGHS AT OBAMA

Can you blame foreign countries for taking advantage of our empty suit?
