It has always been a toss between Texas, Idaho, Montana, and Hawaii but it seems that the Hawaiians are starting to up the ante.

Hawaiian Sovereignty Activists Barricades Inside Historic Palace Grounds
Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Native Hawaiian group that advocates sovereignty briefly occupied the grounds of a historic palace in downtown Honolulu on Wednesday, saying it would carry out the business of what it considers the legitimate government of the islands.

Unarmed security guards from the Hawaiian Kingdom Government group blocked all gates to the grounds of the palace, which is adjacent to the state Capitol. They did not enter the building itself.

After several hours, the protesters agreed to reopen the gates but said they would remain on the grounds until early evening and return Thursday. No arrests had been made as of mid-afternoon.

Laura Thielen, state land director who oversees the palace area, said some of the protesters could still be charged.

"This is public property and they can't block public access," she said.

Protest leaders had said they were prepared to be arrested and would go peacefully.

Mahealani Kahau, elected "head of state" of the group years ago, said the organization doesn't recognize Hawaii as a U.S. state but would keep the occupation peaceful.

"The Hawaiian Kingdom Government is here and it doesn't plan to leave. This is a continuity of the Hawaiian Kingdom of 1892 to today," Kahau said.

The group is one of several Hawaiian sovereignty organizations in the islands, which became the 50th U.S. state in 1959.

There's a thread on here somewhere I started about Hawai'i's secession movement, which of course I back 150%.

As for occupied Tennessee...I'm slowly making progress...

Protesters Storm Grounds of Hawaiian Palace

Saturday, August 16, 2008

HONOLULU — For the second time this year, a Native Hawaiian sovereignty group has taken over the grounds of Iolani Palace, residence of Hawaii's last monarch.

About a dozen men, wearing red shirts with "security" stenciled in yellow on the back, locked the gates of the landmark Friday evening and posted no trespassing signs that read: "Property of the Kingdom of Hawaiian Trust."

The action came on Admission Day, a state holiday marking Hawaii's admission to the Union on Aug. 21, 1959.

Kippen de Alba Chu, executive director of the Friends of Iolani Palace, told The Honolulu Advertiser by phone that he and other staff members were "in lockdown" in the palace and a nearby administration building.

"These guys are threatening to go in the palace," Chu said. "There's about 25 of them. They've got a king and the king wants to sit on the throne."

Television station KITV quoted an unidentified palace spokesperson as saying security personnel were guarding the palace, while staff locked themselves in the administration building. The Advertiser reported people on the grounds were later allowed to get to their cars.

Calls to the police department spokeswoman were not immediately returned.

"We're going to be here for a while. Four days, five days, a week. A while. As long as it takes," one of the men posting the signs told the Advertiser. He declined to give his name.

An "occupation public information bulletin" distributed by a member of the group began: "Majesty Akahi Nui, the King of Hawaii, has now reoccupied the throne of Hawaii. The Kingdom of Hawaii is now re-enacted."

Akahi Nui claims to have been coronated in 1998.

Hawaiian activists have long used Iolani Palace, the site of Queen Liliuokalani's imprisonment following the 1893 U.S. overthrow, as a prime location for protests against the United States' occupation of the islands.

Another group, the Hawaiian Kingdom Government, occupied the palace grounds April 30.

An Indian boy asked his father one day "Father, how did you choose my name?"

The father looks at him and says, "When your older sister was born, I walked out of the birthing wikiup and the first thing I saw was a deer running through the forest. I named her Running Deer.

"When your older brother was born, I walked out of the birthing wikiup and the first thing I saw was a bear standing in the forest. I named him Standing Bear.

"Why do you ask me these things Two Dogs Fucking?"

Will that hold you over for a while?
 
Joe was moderately successful in his career, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem.
"The good news is I can cure your headaches... The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine. The pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital, his mind was clear, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He walked past a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need: a new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."
The salesman eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see... 34 sleeve and... 16 and a half neck" Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see... 9-1/2... E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job." ."
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about a new hat?" Without hesitating, Joe said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe's head and said, "Let's see... 7-5/8." Joe was incredulous, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
The hat fit perfectly. Joe was feeling great, when the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure..." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see... size 36."
Joe laughed, "No, I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. It would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache!

*snicker*
 
A guy goes to the Dr. because he has a rash and burning during urination.

After a check, the Dr. tells him "Unfortunately, you have Hong Kong Dong; and the only way to get rid of it is to cut off the penis."

The guy is terrified at the prospect of losing his closest friend so he goes to another Dr. for a second opinion. The Dr. tells him the same thing with the same cure.

Now he is in depression. He goes home and tried to think about what to do.

Then he thinks "Hong Kong Dong. Hong Kong. Surely there must be someone in Hong Kong who would know what to do about this disease besides a penisectomy."

So he books the next available flight to Hong Kong and when he gets there he looks up the leading Dr. on urinary and sexual organ problems.

He goes to the Dr. and the Dr. confirms the previous diagnosis. "Yep, Hong Kong Dong alright."

The guy asks "Is there anything you can do Doc? The other doctors I have gone to say it needs to be cut off."

The doctor looks at him and says "Those guys fulla shit. No need to cut it off at all."

With this, the guy lets out a long sigh of relief; and for the first time in weeks he feels a surge of positivity.

"Nope" continues the doctor "Three more days, fall off by self."
