COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana. Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

Headlines and Advertisements

From CBC to ABC To FOX and UPI It’s tucked there in their broadcast Now, concentrate and try.

Your attention span ejects You’ll find “Carbon Monoxide, Has no long term effects.”

Here’s a couple from Alberta There’s a caption up above They’re standing at their barbeque “Pork, the one you love.”

Ignore your surroundings Then listen with intent The headlines say it all But, is this what they meant?

“Prostitution Charges: Man Changes Plea” Was he looking for a bargain? What is the normal fee?

Don’t just stop with radio Use all branches of the news Focus on their headlines Focus on their views.

Here’s the final chapter And this is what they share Explosives on a passenger They’re in his underwear.

Remember, concentrate! Read and listen every day Sometimes stop and ponder What did they really say?

The flight is interrupted Things had gone amiss An authority announced, “We’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Well, here’s an ad for carpets That surely says it all It’s written in their motto, “Big or small, we lay them all.”

Yes, it pays to advertise Here’s the sweetest one you’ve seen Here’s an overeaters ad That’s preceding Dairy Queen.

Brought to you by:

Come in for a test save.

To extract a proper meaning Here’s a phrase for you to chew A photographer must advertise, “We shoot pets and people too.” Truth is in the spotlight Though it seems a wee bit late It says, “Unwanted pregnancy: It is a hot debate.” Perhaps they could continue Here’s a meeting to endorse They’ll congregate at 7, “Childbirth Refresher Course”. If you’re lacking concentration

GET STARTED EARLY! -- It’s impossible to stress this point too much! Despite other financial pressures, this can often make the difference in reaching your goal. Historically, stock values appreciate in the long run so investing over longer periods can help your appreciation potential with managed risk. ESTABLISH A REGULAR INVESTMENT PROGRAM -- Even experts cannot predict when prices are low and on the rise; therefore, the best strategy is to invest a set amount every month. Like any other investment, this approach cannot protect from loss or guarantee a profit, but it may help to lower the average cost of your investment purchases. REINVEST RETURNS -- By reinvesting distributions from investments, you may be able to increase your account balance over the long term. Assuming a positive return on your investment, you will realize greater benefits from the power of compounding. This is the concept of earnings on earnings. MAXIMIZE TAX-ADVANTAGED RETIREMENT PLANS -- If retirement is one of your objectives, be certain to invest in an employer-sponsored retirement plan if you are eligible. Most plans allow pre-tax contributions and tax-deferred account earnings. Don’t forget about IRAs either. DON’T BE TOO “SAFE” DURING RETIREMENT -- When you retired, preservation of capital was a steadfast financial planning rule. However, because of inflation you should be more concerned with preserving your spending power. To keep ahead of the game, you must take inflation and taxes into account for the actual amount of your investment return. “Safe” investments could be a losing proposition if they offer no growth potential. PREPARE FOR THE LONG HAUL -- Follow the plan. Don’t be tempted to over react to short term market fluctuations. Chasing “hot” tips could damage your long-term plan. SCHEDULE REGULAR PORTFOLIO CHECKUPS -- Your financial portfolio may need gradual adjustment as your lifestyle changes. You should review your holdings with your financial advisor at least once a year. If you have a major life change (e.g. marriage, baby, job change or early retirement), make an immediate appointment.

WHO SAID IT: Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832) Reverend Charles Caleb Colton was an eccentric clergyman and writer. Born in England, he later transplanted across the globe, even spending time in the United States, some believe to evade creditors and rumors of wine merchantantry. When in Paris, he invested in an art gallery, gathering a large collection of valuable paintings, and frequented gaming salons, acquiring and subsequently losing a small fortune. At the time of his self-inflicted death, he was living off funds borrowed from his mother and other family members. Colton committed suicide in order to avoid a needed life-saving surgery, which he dreaded. CONTEXT: Colton was an expert in laconic phrase and wrote several works that consisted of collections of his own unique aphorisms. Though mostly read today in publications like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bartlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Familiar Quotationsâ&#x20AC;?, he also wrote short essays and privately published small books that may have offended some well-known individuals of his day, such as The Conflagration of Moscow, written about Napoleon. He had a strong negative view of landowners, and was openly disgusted with what he considered a lack of learning among the merchant class. He was accustomed to wearing a somewhat odd attire for someone of his station in life, sometimes being mistaken for a militarist, and he seemed to enjoy the attention it brought him.

The flash mob is the world’s newest form of terrorism. Bands of juvenile delinquents are using social websites to coordinate violent attacks all across America and around the globe. By its very nature, mob mentality takes stupid to astronomical levels and people whose only crime is being successful are unmercifully pillaged. By predetermined electronic provocation, a seemingly peaceful cluster of looters violently explodes. While I was reading news reports about recent flash mobs I thought, “I’ve seen this before.” It was a cold January in the early years of my practice. When you are a starving veterinarian you are very accommodating, so when Gerald asked me to preg-check twenty cows at nine o’clock at night, I agreed to be there. Gerald was a cow trader who owned over a thousand momma cows, but never more than twenty at any particular moment in time. He bought these particular cows in Miles City, hauled them home to Joliet, and needed them checked that night so he could deliver them to their new owner in Columbus the next morning. (Gerald was the poster child of free market capitalism and supply chain dynamics as defined by his 24-foot gooseneck trailer.) I pulled into Gerald’s driveway just as the temperature dropped through 20 below zero. (It’s so glamorous being a large animal veterinarian in Montana.) I tugged on my one-armed coveralls, pulled on a plastic OB sleeve and walked toward the corral. The R-value of an OB sleeve is zero and I looked forward to warming my left arm in the first cow—a sensation not shared with equal anticipation by cow number one. The first three cows fed right through the chute and it appeared this would be a trouble free evening. I was wrong. Apparently the ambient temperature had dropped so low, electricity froze in the power line and with a snap, the entire Rock Creek valley went pitch black. “Being dark shouldn’t matter,” I thought to myself. “My left arm works where the sun never shines, so the absence of light should not slow our progress.” I was wrong again. Gerald’s corral was designed so the processed cows gathered in the same pen as the chute. Normally this is not a problem, but on this particular cold, dark night it was a huge problem. Did I mention these Custer County Angus cows were as mad as they were black? The sixth or seventh cow out of the chute was particularly perturbed and out of the darkness she sprinted directly at us on a death charge…or that was what I imagined because I couldn’t see a dang thing. The passing rumble and the frozen cow snot stuck to my backside proved scampering up the fence was the proper thing to do. We pressed on and listened intently for another death charge and every time I saw Gerald jump on the fence, I joined him. Many of these turned out to be bluff charges where we climbed the fence for no reason, but it was better safe than sorry and eventually we finished the job. As I peeled off my sleeve and climbed over the fence I told Gerald, “Don’t tell anyone I did this or soon everyone will want to preg-check their cows in the dark when it’s 20 below.” The same senselessness I saw in my cow flash mob exists in the flash mobs today. In interviews, looters in London justified their robbery and assault to prove to the rich “we can take and do anything we want.” Answer me this: We removed God and His Ten Commandments from the classroom in 1962, how is that working now? Following the ‘60s, the self-esteem movement took hold and soon self-respect and self-restraint were replaced with the idolatry of how you felt about yourself. When this useless self-worship is coupled with the class warfare rhetoric from today’s Marxist politicians, it is no wonder an entire generation feels entitled to the bounty of others simply because they want it. The commonality in all flash mobs is their organization and execution via the electronic social media. Of greater concern to me than the violence and thievery of flash mobs will be legislators’ kneejerk response. Every entity with the power to make law will strike and overwrite sections of the First Amendment so as to prohibit the use of electronic devices to assemble people. Under the illusion of security, freedom will be voted away yet again.
