A trainwreck in Maxwell

Is anyone else having blogger trouble?

2012-01-28T21:18:00.000-06:00

This time with the blogger blogroll?
I try to add blogs, but after hitting save, it sits there and spins it's wheels- with no result.

It happens in F/F 9 and in Explorer.
I still can't see comments in F/F 9-

Guess with all this 'enhancement' for our 'benefit' that Google is doing, something unexpected is happening.
...Like it is always unexpected when Liberals start tweaking shit.

I guess I'll be needing to look for a new blogging platform...except for W/P who censors you because a bunch of islamatards don't like what you say about them.

Ladies? A word please....

2012-01-28T15:21:00.000-06:00

You know how some of you go to enhance yourselves to make you feel better about your looks, or to please that certain someone?

Just a bit of advice that no matter how much you try, there is no stopping time and the change age brings.

I just wanted to let you know that some times it's time to try undoing those enhancements for the betterment of humanity.

I don't know what language this would be said in, but

2012-01-28T12:31:00.002-06:00

Hey y'all- watch this!

Yep, that's almost three minutes you won't get back.

For your Saturday morning listening

2012-01-28T08:55:00.001-06:00

Drive nice-

Yep, that's who I thought it was

2012-01-28T05:26:00.000-06:00

A quick view of a lower Englanders life in the early century.
As a boy learning the ropes in Englands maritime trade- and the usual daily tasks (that would be called hardships today).

How long did it take 1till you knew who he was?

Excuse me, but didn't anyone pick up the obvious RACISM?

2012-01-27T23:06:00.001-06:00

Because we have two rich Republicans and one black Democrat in a story that involves a privat RICH club called the Alfalfa Club...
Alfalfa???

It's a good thing - with the chocolate Jeezus -they didn't call it the Buckwheat club...

Not that I really need to know what two "Compassionate Conservatives" are doing at the "Bash Bush" White House, anyway. probably helping him stop any "real" conservative from getting that high up.

A quick driving PSA

2012-01-27T22:00:00.000-06:00

for anyone who might be around bridges that have BIG ships or barge traffic.

I know you just can't 'stop', but if you can- look at the waterway you're crossing and see if anything down there looks like it might ...make your day interesting.

Because you should be able to tell if the ship looks maybe too tall for the bridge, or maybe too close to the supports for comfort.

You could pull over and whip out your cell-cam for an instant million hit You-tube video of something massive hitting something immovable.

Just for perspective

2012-01-27T06:03:00.000-06:00

A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?" the man asked. "No, I don't waste time fishing," the homeless man said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on hunting stuff instead of food?" the man asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't hunted in 20 years!"

"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."

The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? The man replied, "That's okay. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking, fishing and hunting ."

I'd like to ask Ann Coulter a favor

2012-01-26T21:56:00.001-06:00

And that would be to just StFU on Newt.
Ok, we get it- for whatever reason you sold out to the Romney train.

Maybe it was to get your fellow Yankee Chris Christi as the other Yankee on the N.E. Atlantic coast "Moderate" ticket- but it's not playing well in Texas, or for certain gays in Chi-town.

You know, don't you Ann- that Americans are a stubborn breed. Most independent Americans like to think for themselves and find hate-filled and demonstratively false accusations a reason to vote FOR the one being unfairly attacked---
Just like YOU and Drudge (who I wonder got paid what to) demonize Newt, and bury any reasonable answers except that he's Da Debbil!!!one!!!

Just to let you know Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge- I will NEVER (and you are re-enforcing my resolve) vote for Willard Romney.

UPDATE-
I forgot the obligatory Romney signature picture:

Have we had enought of the ever more intrusive Google spying?

2012-01-26T19:34:00.000-06:00

You did know that huge Liberal machine was tracking you didn't you?

You do know that unless you turned off your web search history, that it has EVERY site you've been to since you first opened that GOOGLE search engine- right?

And now everyone is surprised that the huge LIBERAL entity known as Google has been tracking you and using what it knows about you for *koff* advertising enhancements.
-Until the 0bama administration wants to know your surfing habits...

But here's a handy article to try taking control of some of the information that's stored on there ever increasinly huge memory banks in your name.

Or you could just go cold turkey and delete (maybe) your history on Google and close accounts if you want to go all back-to-nature and have to hunt and gather your information all by yourself.

It looks like a different browser on the horizon

2012-01-25T15:34:00.000-06:00

Blogger still can't play nice with the mothership.
I think I noticed it a little over a week ago when Google started tracking even more of your internet experience, and it's getting worse.

I was just over at Motzarts place, trying to view a comment I made, but got the Google white screen of nothingness.
I tried by signing out, but nada.
I copied the URL and opened Explorer and went right in.

So, is my FF 3.(whatever) at fault, or every FF user?

Bring it on Nancy, you lying Communist biatch

2012-01-25T08:12:00.001-06:00

You, the leader of a party that gave a standing "O" to Barney Frank(D- mASS) for his boyfriend running a gay prostitution ring out of his house?
The leader of the party who last year had to censure Rangel (D- NY) over tax fraud?
The leader of the party who was directly responsible for the housing collapse?

YOU have something on Newt Gingrich that no one else has?

Bring it on you delusional skank!

How to make a cat run over a dog

2012-01-24T21:59:00.000-06:00

First you need 1+ cats and a sleeping dog.
Or a dog that's eating and not paying attention, and most important- one of these.

You need to get the cat(s) wound up and running from one end of the kitchen into the living room and around the corner at full speed.
Then, when they're concentration on the dot, veer off and over the dog.

Tonight is the big SoTU speech

2012-01-24T19:50:00.000-06:00

It should really be called the STFU speech.

Is anyone going to actually watch this nationally televised FREE campaign speech?
How many of you are going to be playing drinking games with it?

Even though we're more religious than Libs

2012-01-24T14:30:00.000-06:00

Surprisingly we don't believe in electing a Messiah from Chicago, unlike the godless atheists on the Liberal side of things. How's your Unicorn Rider working out for you guys?

Some Republicans believe that we can get a Hero to decide -at this late date- to join the wannabees in the primaries. So that this unknown hero can be brash like Newt, business savvy like Mittens, conservative like Santorum and Constitutional like Paul.

It's not going to happen. So quit wishing for Bobby Jindal or Marco Rubio or Col. West to jump in.
What we have is what we have.
Lets learn to live with it.
Any one of them would be better than what we have right now, and the MSM will hate our nominee just as badly as the rest and dig for the dirt that they didn't on their Chicago Jeezus.

I don't know if I'll even bother voting in our primary because it'll be in either May or June.
Thanks to the politics of race driving the Federal judges in their redistricting clusterf*ck.
Because if it's in June- the candidate will have been elected and it'll be someone I can vote for or someone I'll not vote for in November.

Some people say tennis is boring

2012-01-23T21:02:00.000-06:00

Because most of the time you're watching a yellow ball go back and forth.

But then again there are really good plays that make you want to see more.

But then you go back to watching the same boring thing.

Fritos corn chips

2012-01-23T20:36:00.001-06:00

Did you know that cats like them?

I'm sitting here blogsurfing and using the dippers as my salsa delivery system and being stared at by the littlest dog.
Then I had to give her one.

And the real dogs wanted some too.

This is the littlest dog in "her" room-

I keep reading about how Newt can't win

2012-01-22T20:02:00.000-06:00

Because all the 'smart' people living in either DeeCee or "Da City" say Newt is unelectable because he turns people off with his combative style.
That independents will run to president Everyman because newt is too scary...or something.
Right S.E. Cupp? Right Ann Coulter? Right Jennifer Ruben?

I'm not a Newt voter- yet. I still have another guy to look at and decide -if I have a choice once we have a primary here in Texas.

But, one thing for sure; I and a lot of other Americans love the fact that Newt is taking the fight back to the Liberals trying to force our election ...AGAIN.

Which reminded me of this speech that's now unfortunately wrong (in some places), but still has what's left of American spirit:

And here is the unedited original.

I have also heard Newt being compared favorably to Churchill. I don't know if I'd want to go that far, but I'd much rather have a fighter with baggage than a weather vane with the 'right' connections to the establishment.

"I say, Randolph- have you seen the Orange Juice Futures today?"

2012-01-22T16:41:00.000-06:00

No Mortimer, but I am assured that we will make a killing once our DEA and 0bamas EPA kill the Brazilian imports.

Yes, Randolph-we know this administration will not allow any possible contaminates into the public consumption- like Bush did when we tried to corner the arsenic sequestration of drinking water.
Remember when he forced them to put arsenic back into drinking water?

You now Chris Christi,

2012-01-22T15:13:00.000-06:00

The only people who think Newt is an embarrassment to the GOP is RINOs like yourself.

So go and keep attacking the one guy who's actually taking the fight to the people who are completely against any Republican- even an east coast 'moderate' like your buddy Mittens.

And, Chris- What you call "reserved" we in flyover country cal elitist...
While Christie has pointed to Romney’s difficulties in connecting with people before, he said Sunday it’s due to Romney being a “reserved guy.”

Brigid? Sam?

2012-01-22T10:46:00.000-06:00

Could you relay to EJ that blogs don't write themselves.

Good morning

2012-01-22T08:46:00.001-06:00

Enjoy something semi-religious:

FWiW- Margaret Cho (the semi-funny comedienne) doesn't like Gwens grils.She says reinforces a stereotype of Asian women.
Like what Marge? That they're hot..with several glaring exceptions...

So, #OWS had a protest in DeeCee the other day

2012-01-21T16:26:00.000-06:00

They were chanting the usual drivel, including "this is what a police state looks like." (@ about :19 in)

No you f*cking inbrede morons-
THIS is what a police state looks like.

And those are YOUR buddies that YOU want to act like if YOU could take over. (the ones shooting, not the protestes- they would be the Tea Partiers.)

Darth Canis?

A question for PETArds out there

2012-01-21T07:50:00.000-06:00

Is this animal cruelty?

I found on FB this morning.

What's the conflict between Google and Blogger now?

2012-01-20T06:10:00.000-06:00

It seems that lately, no matter where I'm coming from- my bookmarks or a link to a specific posting in Blogger, I get half a second of that page, then Google sends me to a complete white screen and the bottom says DONE!

Remember back when "W" was creating jobs back in the early 2000's?

2012-01-19T21:38:00.001-06:00

This was after the 9-11 attacks that shut down the airline industry and everything associated with them- including tourism.
The Left and their Lamestream Media co-conspirators sniggered about it being only McJobs and not 'really' worth counting as *real* jobs.

Remember?

But now, we have President Hopey-Changie in DISNEY LAND shutting down Mainstreet America so he could get a photo-op with Cinderellas castle as a backdrop.

He's touting tourism jobs.
Because those minimum wage jobs will be better for America than 20,000 oil patch jobs.

AND what I haven't heard anywhere....the TAX REVENUE from that oil as soon as it crosses the border.

It's like I can read their minds

2012-01-19T19:33:00.000-06:00

I put up a post a little over a week ago asking when an occasional thing becomes a pattern.

And now that random thing we never heard of before Iran started rattling its scimitar in the Straights of Hormuz just happened again.
Isn't it amazing that all these Iranian sailors never needed our help until someones 'smart diplomacy' kicked in and we're getting exactly what weakness brings in the mid-east?

Is it a pattern yet, or am I going to be posting next week about us rescuing another Iranian?

So, Warren Buffet gave $49K to the Treasury to pay down the debt

2012-01-19T16:48:00.001-06:00

Because he's challenging Republican Congressmen and he'll match it- I guess.

Does he know it would be useless to challenge the Democrats to do the same?

Well good for you Warren, If you *REALLY* want to help- maybe you should tell your company Berkshire Hathaway to pay that almost $1 Billion in back taxes it owes.
Of course now that you made the $49K donation to the deficit, I'm sure your fellow tax cheat Tim Gethner will call of his T-men and let it slide away just like his tax bill.

The same Federal agency who hasn't stopped a single terrorist yet

2012-01-18T19:19:00.000-06:00

In the ten years they've been steadily increasing their intrusive behaviour on private citizens.
Just let another weapon get on board a flight in DFW.

But that's ok, we found it before granny could hijack the plane, and now she's under arrest.
...AFTER she boarded and they were in the taxi line.

This in addition to the same bungling bureaucracy that let Scott Atwater get on a plane in Tenn. and fly with two blocks of C-4 into Midland, TX.

But hey- it's cool, we found it before anything bad happened.
...So our record is still 0-0and0, right?

I'm really surprised that it's taken this long

2012-01-18T19:05:00.000-06:00

I heard about Microsofts new 'Avoid the Ghetto' app about three or so months ago.

Only now are the usual suspects starting to make noise about it.
The as-of-yet unnamed product is being referred to as the “Avoid The Ghetto” app by those who are concerned with where it will guide users.
“I’m going to be up in arms about it if it happens,” said Dallas NAACP President Juanita Wallace.
Wallace spent her afternoon at a rally on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and said she felt safe there, but fears the app may project otherwise.
“Can you imagine me not being able to go to MLK Blvd. because my GPS says that’s a dangerous crime area? I can’t even imagine that,” she said.

Of course YOU felt safe there Juanita-

It was MLK Day
it was daylight
there was probably a huge police presence
they know you
they wre in a happy mood

How do you think Dr. King would feel if the first thing you thought about when you were talking about the ghetto was a street named after him?

You know guys, it's not a stereotype if it's true-MK?

Got nothing

2012-01-18T06:21:00.000-06:00

Everything is the same as always.

Republicans are going to put the only one who can lose to King Putt out as their nominee.

The MSM are covering for the Chicago Jeezus.

Europeans are showing that they're just as mature as a 13 year-old girl in a crisis.

Democrats want to tell you what to do in your bedroom.

More junk science forcing legislation on those who didn't make the laws.

FoxNews is still making me turn off WOAI at the top of every hour because they can't get enough soundbites of president white-guilt.

So here I am rubbing Stompy-the-cat's chin

2012-01-16T21:27:00.001-06:00

(She's the wife's new cat that I had NO say in allowing- whatsoever)A smooched-face ferrite-like thing who would be a dachshund if she were a dog.

Anyway, she let me scratch her chin when the littlest dog* started rubbing my other hand and purring because SHE is the one that adopted me.

*The littlest dog is some kind of tail-less black cat that chases balls, begs and licks plates clean...

...AND fearlessly checks out plates being cleaned by the reals dogs in spite of the growls.

My dad had a favorite quote when it came to odd things

2012-01-16T20:10:00.000-06:00

"Follow the money." And when you do, you'll know *why* they did what they did.

Which is probably the reason the TSA is letting you airline travelers and their own employees get hit with over the limit gamma rays at their scanners.
They're not even letting the operators wear dosimeters because they know there criminally badly designed machines would put them over within a couple days.

So who made the descision and what kind of connections do they have to the makers?
Who got the money?

I don't know a lot about cruise ships

2012-01-16T17:03:00.000-06:00

But I do know that they have to have some compartmentalization.

Right? Most modern ships -especially those designed for passengers almost have to have safety at the top of their list.
-If not because they're concerned about passengers good health, but at least so they don't lose the company to lawsuits.
So, what I'm wondering is why the Capt. didn't counterflood to keep the ship upright so as to be able to launch his life boats?

Well, that's good...I guess

2012-01-16T05:40:00.000-06:00

At least I won't have to try to not intentionally leave off Gov. Asterisk anymore.

Because according to the sycophantic NYT- Gov. * "struggled to live up to the soaring expectations of his candidacy,"- nooo they seriously said that.

The decision from Mr. Huntsman came on the same day that he received the endorsement from The State, the newspaper in the capital of Columbia.
Columbia? Is that one of the extra 7 states his boss thinks we have in America?

Yeah,,,whatever there Jon- and I'm sure Mitt will appreciate the 0bama supporters you give him in your endorsement to be the next establishment Republican to LOSE to the Democrat.

I see Gods other son went to church today

2012-01-15T17:51:00.000-06:00

For the third time this year.

He took an 11 minute motorcade ride to an #OWS-DC supporting church so us bitter clingers could see him talking to dad.

The third time this year,,,that makes six times in three years now?

I admit it, I'm shallow

2012-01-15T10:16:00.000-06:00

I know I should look at the person behind the appearance.

But I guess that's one reason I can't see getting behind Rick Santorum right now.
I'm still up in the air, except for refusing to vote for the "President from Central Casting" and one other.

A sweater vest as his trademark? I'm not the only one who feels that way, either.

Besides, remember who else was noted for wearing a sweater?

Yeah, HIM!

It's poll time again!

2012-01-15T10:15:00.000-06:00

In our last poll I asked if you changed your vote after the last go-round. The answers were about what I expected- including the Paul-bots hitting him every time they could vote.
So the results were Still waiting the clear winner of the votes that mattered at 14 votes and 39%.
NO at 7 votes and 19% and yes at 2 and 6%.

As usual, you can still vote, but it won't count.

I know human faces are hard to draw

2012-01-15T09:35:00.001-06:00

But- daym guy are you blind or just ...stupid?

And you actually PAID for that?

:-O

More money sinks here.

UPDATE:

This is a $220 tat that I kind of regret having the blue done on, but he was the expert...

What do you think?

Liberals and unintended consequences

2012-01-14T14:19:00.000-06:00

I know, conservatives have them too, but not as unexpected and as often as Liberals.
Because Liberals usually don't give a thought after they have some brilliant idea to "better" someones life.

It's the feeling they get from "helping" someone rather than the results they suffer.

Because a Liberal will almost always make someones life worse after the good-feelings law takes effect.

Like the TeeWee show "Extreme Makeover" on HGTV (I think) who helps the downtrodden by rebuilding their hovels into McMansions.

I always wondered just how someone who was struggling to make it before they had a brand new and bigger house would handle the extra utility costs, property taxes and maintenance.

Well now we know- they can't.

The producers, touched by her selfless plea, hatched a bigger plan. In addition to renovating the cancer ward, they would tear down the 1,800-square-foot house (with its leaky roof and problem plumbing) that Kassandra's family was renting and rebuild a dream home.
The project generated enormous interest in the Valley. Nearly 4,000 people stood outside the home on a cold and rainy February day to watch the unveiling. The episode aired on March 13, 2005, with the stunned Okvath family reacting with smiles and tears of joy.
And the home's owner, who had okayed the renovation, had signed the property over to the Okvaths, giving the family full ownership.
It seemed like exactly the type of happy ending the show was famous for, but after the cameras left, reality intruded.
Utility bills skyrocketed, reaching $1,200 during the summer months; property taxes increased from $1,625 in 2005 to more than $4,100 in 2006.
Bryan, who was unemployed when the show was filmed, worked sporadically as a truck driver and fire fighter, but none of the jobs paid particularly well. Strapped, the couple used the house as collateral for a $405,000 loan in 2006, but payments on the adjustable-rate mortgage soon became unmanageable.

Am I the only one who'll say why Obama wants with his consolidation?

2012-01-14T13:42:00.000-06:00

...Other than the fact that he wants to nullify Congress.

This .GOV consolidation that he wants to do to *koff* make the Commerce Dept leaner and less costly..or something.

The only reason he wants to get rid of waste and redundant efforts is so that the separate splinters aren't slowing down his anti-business goals by creating friction in slapping Stalinistic laws all over businesses.

For those who can't understand the Liberal thought process

2012-01-14T10:10:00.000-06:00

Or those of you who just don't get those sneaky nuances from the "Smartest Negro in the World",
I found a translator for you white people:

There is a reason I sometimes don't believe in co-incidence

2012-01-14T08:22:00.002-06:00

And I'm sure that this new and happier MEchelle 0bama is one of them.

Ever since we heard about HERSELF being seen as an angry black woman- we're seeing her all (ok, even more than usual) smiles and breaking out into a happy dance whenever she has a captive audience.

To be truthful MEchelle- I don't see you as a typical angry black woman, just a regular beatch.

Seriously?

2012-01-13T17:43:00.000-06:00

I had the .MIL over on my site from Google looking at CATS?

You came to my blog for cat pictures?

Do the guys in the Signal corps like to hang out at the hair dressers too?

On the way to work this morning

2012-01-13T16:26:00.000-06:00

I had to listen to some arrogant asshole talking about how gutting the military is going to make it stronger and more adaptive.

...And that's a good thing.

Ok Mr. budget-cutting middle class warrior- lets try that with the Dept. of Ed or some of your social services bloated bureaucracies.
Better yet, lets make the EPA a shining example of how much can be done with absolutely NOTHING.

A little unsolicited advice to you military guys

2012-01-12T20:09:00.001-06:00

...and chicks-

When I was in, and probably when most of my ex-military readers.
...and probably everyone else, We did stupid shit. We did stupid shit that could have gotten us killed- even.

You're going to do stupid stuff- it goes with growing up. We did stupid stuff in uniform, but that was then.
Back before PC grew into such a monster AND more importantly- before everyone had a video camera in their pocket.

Here's the advice-
When you do something stupid (and you will)- no matter how cool it is....

DO NOT take a video and post it to You-Tube.

Because at one time this was worth nothing but a slap on the wrist:

Now it would result in Federal penalties.

How many have ever heard of the Hollywood blacklists of the 50's?

2012-01-12T19:12:00.000-06:00

That's back when Sen. Joe McCarthy rightly was naming names of Hollywood and government Communists.

The hidden Communists in H`wood refused to hire known Communists- unlike today where they're celebrated.
The Socialistic insider bureaucrats were pretty much left to grow and fester into the bloated anti-American public sector unions we see today.

Anyway, today it's not the Communists that are being blackballed by their H`wood producers- it's global warming sceptics being blackballed by the Japanese copy and electronics maker Kyocera.

,,,And the Leftist Ad Agency types in NYC.

We have always been at war with EastAsia

2012-01-12T05:13:00.001-06:00

The criminal Emmanuel Goldstein has always been National computer ID #2012.

Because it makes sense in an Obamaesque way that to enhance your computer privacy- you need a national computer ID.

Because it's just too much of a PITA to remember all those different passwords you have on a cheat-sheet next to your computer.

Besides- who would evAr want to hack your ONE identity that lets the .GOV track your entire intratubZZ wanderings?

I don't understand

2012-01-11T19:50:00.003-06:00

Who is this OSHA guy?
And why was he freaking out?

San Antonio owns the local power company- CPS

2012-01-11T19:21:00.000-06:00

The initials stand for something like Citizens Power Service- or something close.

CPS wanted to build another nuke plant down in Three Rivers- but didn't because it wasn't 'green' enough for the city council and Democrat Mayor.

But, guess what? San Antonio ratepayers will be buying a state of the art Solar array!

Because we all need to pay our fair share- or something.

...And in other news that WOAI decided not to put on it's website--oh noes...that nasty drought we're going to have for the next five years is going to cause problems with power generation.
Because we need water to cool the power plants or we'll be having rolling blackouts.

Except that Charity McCurdy forgot that we won't HAVE power plants that need water because Obamas EPA is going to shut them all down next year.

A question for y'all

2012-01-11T18:01:00.000-06:00

Why is it that no matter what I drive, or what I'm hauling someone just HAS to ride my bumper?

I could be driving the fuel truck, a 45' drop-deck trailer with a broken back-hoe dripping hydraulic fluid all over your windshield, a bucket truck or a pressure drill- you always pull up so I can only see a shadow where your 4 wheeler is- or one side mirror tip or the other...because you can't hold a lane position either.

I stay in the slow/right/granny lane as much as I can, and there are almost always two, three or four lanes to the left that are going alot faster. It's not that you're waiting for the next exit, because I've had you tailing me for miles- with an empty lane immediately to your left.

The trucks I drive aren't the ones you want to draft, because I don't drive a dry van.

So?
Anyone want to venture a guess?

Are you ready for your IQ drain?

2012-01-10T20:22:00.000-06:00

Because, as usual after hearing the ever chubbier bleached blonde- you will feel even less smarter than Sarah Palin...or something:

Don't put those candles away yet

2012-01-10T19:45:00.001-06:00

We have another, even more deadly menace to (try to) stomp out!

This menace- which is probably sitting unguarded right now in your HOUSE!
I bet even Joan Peterson and the Bradies let their grand-kids near such deadly items as these without a second thought.

Yes, there are things more deadly than GUNS! These things are responsible for 24% of ALL toddler deaths in the area studied and it affected minorities in a more damaging factor than whites (again! just like blk-on-blk violence!).

This study, done in the time honored style of our betters on the Left shows that these items should be locked out off reach and maybe even some kind of competency class in their use!

So, this Saturday, I want you all to take pics of you holding a candle and standing in a 5 gallon bucket.

Ladies, in respect to the water ruining your good clothes- please wear your skimpiest suit.

How many times does it take

2012-01-10T15:55:00.000-06:00

For some related random occurrences to become a pattern?

Is there a set amount, or does it depend on your expectations, and who those events are happening to and the participants?

I started wondering about that when I hear about our second rescue of Iranian sailors in about three days.
And given the way "someone" who is basically a pussy wants to be seen as some kind of Savior so He can talk to our enemies with an open hand and no preconditions. I wonder who and where the next Iranian to be saved/rescued will be?

Unlikely conservative views

2012-01-09T22:13:00.000-06:00

I was reading about the newest greatest thing in Gaia friendly car tech over at IoTW just now and realized just how conservative some 'alternative' bands really are.

See- illustr8r was showing the latest Smart ummm.....pick-up and I just had to drop a comment from one of my favorite bands. Because this urban pick-up couldn't even haul a bale of ~~cocaine~~ hay, much less deliver it where it was needed.

So we have this song from the Rev. proposing actual conservative ideas:

...in the idea of don't tell me how to act and I won't push you to act like I do...
Unfortunately the lyrics ask too much of Liberals in asking for empathy.

A good point by Shaky Pete

2012-01-09T06:20:00.001-06:00

That is a perfect contrast between the capitalism we (think) are in now and the socialism that the Democrat party wants for us.

All you have to do is ask the Liberals (who are much smarter than you) if or what they know about the two Korea's.
All they probably know is what they've seen on MASH and that Kim died the other day.

H/t Shaky Pete (who'll probably go on the blogroll if he writes enough).

If I was a Presidential candidate

2012-01-08T14:07:00.001-06:00

And I was standing up in front of the TeeWee cameras answering slanted questions from Democrat operatives...

I would have to start out almost every answer with some variation of... "I'm glad you asked that, since asking us is the only way it would be asked."

OR- "At least one side is getting these kind of questions, and here is what I think about...."

How about :"Yes, I'm glad you're at least digging into the past of at least SOME of the candidates who are going to be leading this great nation."

And one that would never make it past the cameras- "Are you going to ask Obama any of these questions?"

Lighting the candle

2012-01-08T09:53:00.000-06:00

Against violent guns..or sumething feel-goody like that.

Today everyone is supposed to light a candle to shoe how we're against gun violence (whether it's defensive or not they don't say). But I'm all for helping out, and Weer'd has more links to people who are against violent guns, too.
Here are my contributions because I *REALLY* care:

I hope you have a peaceful Sunday and your guns behave themselves.

A breakfast for champions

2012-01-08T09:01:00.000-06:00

I just had a Western Omlet with a good (what other kind is there?) side of bacon.

I didn't quite finish my coffee before ~~scarfing it down~~ enjoying a leisurely breakfast.
After I was done, I tried the rest of the coffee and remembered *why* I took my liquids before eating eggs.

I like eggs, but anything I drink -milk, coffee, OJ leaves a weird and bitter aftertaste during or right after eggs.

Am I the only one? The way it looks, everyone else has no problem eating and drinking.

Here we go again

2012-01-07T19:56:00.000-06:00

An Afghani Abu Graib, or so they want us to believe.
Now we have the ruling warlord of A-stan calling for the US to hand over the prison we're holding Islamic terrorists in- which happens to be right next to Bagram Air Base.

Ok. Tell ya what there Hamid, not only will we hand over the prison, but our airbase too!
We and our allies will leave you the entire infrastructure we built in spite of your backward population.

Just as soon as we're out, we'll be sure the Tailban won't be able to use our fortified bases against your badly trained troops...IYKWIM- and I think you do.

Have fun staying in power Hamid, and good luck!

Then there were six

2012-01-07T17:24:00.002-06:00

Or five if you want consider actual Republicans* in the race.

And in the last weekly poll that ended up being weeks long- our results are
two frontrunners separated by one vote between Gingrich at 24%/37 votes and "I'll Wait" at 23%/36 votes.

In the next tier we have a tie between Ron Paul and "Wasn't my guy at 20%/31 each.
Unsurprisingly since he couldn't pass money around here- Mittens came in last with 2%/3 votes.

As usual, you can still vote but it won't count.

* I meant real Republicans and not Obamas boy in China who's in this race for the Liberal vote.

Looking at the latest polls

2012-01-06T20:52:00.001-06:00

About the "widespread popularity" of the Central Casting candidate, and the ...love people are throwing at him.

Up in Yankeeland (no offense to the people on my blogroll :-D ) where he's one of them....

I'm going to see how far the moniker "Platte River Mitt" will go, since his support is a mile wide and an inch deep.

All bought and paid for by the Establishment Republicans.
Besides, he's next in line!

My, what a difference two days make

2012-01-06T19:55:00.000-06:00

See- on Weds we see the wise elderly negro accepting the results of the Democrat Iowa Caucus.

The very next day we see an invigorated social crusader gleefully cutting the ONLY Constitutionally mandated cabinet Department that's not going to see a budget increase.

Nose putty and pancake make-up does wonders....?

How many Anti-American Liberals do you think wet their pant(ies) in excitement when they found out that president Peacenick was going to cut $1trillion from the Defense Dept and almost half a million troops?

Yeah, someone wants to go all Gen. Turgidson on his skinny butt.

...And now we have the kiss of death

2012-01-05T18:32:00.001-06:00

For the Romney campaign.

Can't you just feel the man-love.
Look at his adoration of "moderation" and bi-partisanship.

But- Hey! We have the last big loser endorsing the next loser because it's his turn to lose to the Democrat.

Seriously. The ONLY reason I bothered to show up last time was because "Maverick John McCain" was smart enough to put Palin on the ticket.

...So- do ya think Big John made Mittens promise to NOT throw any hard punches against his frieeeeeend Barack for his valued endorsement?

The chubby one speaks

2012-01-04T19:40:00.000-06:00

No, not that one- the one who got invited to be a political commentator based on her dads losing to President White Guilt.

Notice how they had to cut off her babbling about SantoRomney?

That's good to know

2012-01-04T06:09:00.000-06:00

That I'm not going to have to not vote for Mittens come next November.

Romney 30,015 25%
Santorum 30,007 25%
Paul 26,219 21%
Gingrich 16,251 13%
Perry 12,604 10%

The Iowa Caucuses

2012-01-03T19:23:00.000-06:00

To steal the whole Seinfield thing- A caucus about nothing. That produces nothing.

Or- if you're a more literary bent- MacBeth (scene 5/act5)
...That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Because after all is said and done, and the winner is announced, and the delegates go to the convention- none are bound to vote for the winner in Iowa.

For you history geeks

2012-01-03T18:33:00.000-06:00

Who are into old WWII comic art as practiced by the warmonger Walt Disney, you'll find a wealth of stuff here.

What I was surprised about was that there were over 1,000 insignias and patches drawn by his artists for newly commissioned military units.

...Of course that was back when Hollywood supported out troops and patriotism didn't mean spitting on owr flag.

Dear Mary C. Curtis of the WaPo

2012-01-02T21:50:00.000-06:00

You decided to spew an article going after the overheard words of a Republican in a (so far) major mouthpiece of the Obama administration taking him to task.

I'd like to take the time to help you out here (just between us girls- you know) about how we in flyover country see your article.

Lets start out with your opening paragraph:
Can you imagine how the incident would play out if an African American congressman made a crude remark about First Lady Laura Bush’s body? It certainly would have taken more than an insincere apology to wash that sin away. That scenario never happened — hopefully because those congressmen were raised with a measure of common decency....
How do we know they didn't? We all know what the Black Caucus thinks about whitey- the Ofay, and how the MSM loves to cover up ...mistakes and "mis-statments' from their friends.

Then you go on about Rep. Sensenbrenners overheard statements about- basically her hypocrisy.

You then go on misstating the outcome of her 'satments of concern' about our food intake-
What is it about her simple message that gets some folks in such a tizzy? Michelle Obama isn’t advocating a diet of roots and berries, only moderation in a country suffering the effects of an obesity epidemic, with diabetes on the rise in young children. She is sharing the advice in a way that emphasizes healthy eating and exercise, rather than the deprivation diet of a photo-retouched supermodel.
You would think a message to take a little care with what we consume would be welcomed. But no, folks like Rush Limbaugh and Sensenbrenner prefer to inspect every item the Obamas put on their plates. Those two might better spend that time looking in the mirror, but self-awareness has never been part of their package. Of course, if the first lady were a size 0, they would be saying she encourages anorexia.
Yes, maybe- except that everything she looks at ends up having the manufacturers change their ENTIRE food chemistry to adopt her 'suggestions'.

More?
How about you making the statement that she has a fat-@ss and finding a racial statement in it. As we all come to expect from a Liberal-
Not only is this disrespect crude, it also proves yet again that you can’t go wrong disrespecting a black woman in the United States of America, even if she lives in the White House – and in some constituencies, especially if she lives in the White House. Sensenbrenner’s nasty rant made me sick and sad because it brings to the surface the ugly history of how black women are viewed in America, stereotyped and dehumanized, our bodies everyone’s business except our own.
Soo...it's bad to disrespect a black woman because it turns her into just an object?

Or only when she's not a conservative?

But, you're right, no-ne ever called Bush a monkee or his daughters drunken sluts- did they?
The personal criticism of the latest Democratic occupants of the White House started with emailed jokes showing the White House lawn as a watermelon patch and went downhill from there. If ever there was an off-limits rule for politicians’ families, critics have definitely invoked an Obama exception, ironic when the one thing even political foes should be able to praise is the illustration of “family values” they hold so dear on display at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – mom, dad, two children and grandmom.
And in the "Do we *really* want to go down that road is this peach_
Sensenbrenner had to know that what he said was inappropriate when he first let loose at his church – of all places – to a woman who had complimented the first lady. It’s frightening to witness animus so deep that a sitting congressman can’t stop himself from repeating insults in church. Maybe he knows he won’t suffer serious consequences and might even gain a few points from those as dumbfounded as he is that the Obamas reside in the White House.
Because I could waste A LOT of electrons in digging up what YOU people had to say in country and to our enemies about a sitting President about five years ago...

And finally we get to the whole "The Obamas "LOVE" the same military they were badmouthing some 40 months ago...
. First Lady Michelle Obama has taken support of military families as a signature cause. I wonder how long it will take critics to find something wrong with that.
Not long, because to most Americans in flyover country- OUR history doesn't start whenever the new meme comes out about what's the new aim point this week- and know what was said before they became first couple, and just how cynical and HYPOCRITICAL most Liberals are about facts.

Which is probably why most Liberals I've seen are so angry- cognitive dissonance.

Wow, how...adult sounding.

How many did the TEA PARTY have?
Oh -NONE. Because the TEA PARTY didn't need to have self appointed authority figures making sure they acted like RESPONSIBLE adults.

BTW- they had millions of dollars and weeks to prepare for their version of the "Deathmobile" and all we got was this?

So I thought I'd throw this FEMA Camp story out and see where it goes...

I remember hearing about something like this a year or two ago. It was designed so citizens could be "housed" there during whatever the administration called an emergency.

Does this remind you of anyone?

2012-01-01T19:14:00.003-06:00

Some pompous, droning Senator who was a war hero, maybe?

The State in all it's wisdom deciding the fate of the 1%-

They used good writing, made you use your imagination and used new talent- who you still recognize today.

Nope- it would be all Seinfield and edgy and all white guys would be morons...with a laughtrack.

The establishment candidate is ahead in the Iowa polls.

2012-01-01T07:36:00.000-06:00

Which -in a way is a good thing.
Also it would be a good thing to see the 2012 version of Ross Perot win...hmmmm same initials, just realised that.

Anyway- the reason I'm saying it's a good thing is because \, historically the winner of the Iowa polls doesn't usually go on to become the nominee.

Over the past several decades, the Hawkeye State has rarely voted for the Republican candidate who went on to win the nomination. In the league of early primary and caucus states, only South Carolina has an unblemished record in selecting the winning GOP candidate.

So their might be hope to still kill ROMbamacare yet.

To all of you old enough

2011-12-31T20:49:00.001-06:00

That this is your attitude to Dec. 31-

Co-incidentally, I heard this alot in NRTC Great Mistakes the next year after this came out.
It was at least a weekly thing when someone got ASMO'd

Or E-Ranger righting wrongs in e-space.

This is what you really are:

People these days seem to think we are some sort of Internet vigilante group, That couldn’t be further from the truth. We are the little voice in the back of your head that wants to fuck your hot sixteen year old daughter. We are the father who beats his six year old child simply because he spilled his beer. We are every chef that’s ever spit in some random person’s food for the hell of it. We are the pyromaniac who burns down the homeless shelter for shits and giggles. We are the person who rapes the same girl twice. We are that feeling you get when you beat your pets; and enjoy it. We see some guy hang himself live, we laugh. A wrestler kills his family, we laugh. Some maladjusted Asian shoots up his university, we laugh. Fifty-thousand die in North Korea, we laugh. AIDS ravages a continent, we laugh. An Austrian man locks his daughter in his basement for 24 years and fathers 8 children with her, we laugh. A religion invented by a psychotic writer swindles countless gullible fucktards out of their cash, we laugh, and then go kick his religion’s ass just for the hell of it. We aren’t some vigilante group righting wrongs. We aren’t your friends, your buddies or your saviors. Your feelings mean nothing to us. We are human nature unencumbered by pointless ethics, foolish moralities or arbitrary laws and restrictions. We are every dark impulse you have; unrestrained and fully realized. We are what deep down, you wish you were. We exist as a means for instant gratification, purely at our own whim. We have no culture, we have no laws, written or otherwise. We are an autonomous collective, each an insignificant part of a whole. You cannot assimilate us, we do not change. You cannot defeat us, we do not exist. You cannot infiltrate us, we know our own. We do not sleep, we do not eat and we do not feel remorse. We will tear you apart from outside and in, we have all the time in the world. You operate under the delusion that we will someday be outdated, that we might even see the light. You are irrevocably wrong. You are not special, you are not unique and you aren’t crusaders for justice. You’re a blend of college age faggots who think that they can do some sort of good, and who are desperate to belong, to have attention. You have accomplished nothing, and you will fall. Enjoy your AIDS, faggots.”

Should I go the Darwin rout?
Or maybe the responsible adult rout?

See, we have a 12 year old girl running around on the highway at 11PM picking up clothes that fell of a roof-rack.
She's dead because she (naturally) got hit by a car doing at least 70.

The article is pretty scant on details, but I'm wondering who was driving, did they speak english, and were they held accountable for letting her run around in traffic?

Remember the Toyota brake "problem"?

2011-12-31T10:58:00.001-06:00

That ended up NOT being a Toyota problem, but a driver problem.

Yeah, the problems that lead to a recall to help G.M. sell more cars.
The same G.M. that stole 2/3 of investors worth to pay back 0bamas UAW and wasted $50 Billion of our tax money.

How much do you think you'll hear about the fact that G.M. is now having to recall 4,000 of it's cars because those brains at the UAW were either too pre-occupied with all the UNION supported protests going on, OR too lazy to make sure some BRAKE PADS were where they were supposed to be.

And you probably didn't hear about the steering wheels coming off those Govt. Motors cars, either- did you?

....AND still speaking about your wasted .GOV tax money and the shitter, how about that earth-friendly Hybrid money Obama sent to Finland to help them make money?

Fisker Automotive is recalling all 239 of its 2012 Karma luxury plug-in hybrid cars because of a fire hazard, according to a report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Prices on the 2012 model start at $103,000, including the destination charge.

Which isn't so bad, I guess...
Fisker said the problem was discovered on Dec. 16, when workers at the Valmet Automotive assembly plant in Finland noticed coolant dripping. Fisker said it was not aware of any consumer complaints, warranty claims or “any other reports related to this condition.” It said fewer than 50 vehicles were in the hands of consumers.

I guess "smug" isn't selling like it used to be.

I just saw something that reminded me of Gov. Romney

2011-12-31T09:27:00.000-06:00

And another example of his stellar oversight while controlling the finances of Mass.
No, not Romneycare-

Who here remembers the fiasco that was called "The Big Dig"?

To be fair, he didn't start it, but he didn't change anything on his watch, either.
And don't expect anyone to bring this up until the Republican establishment (and the MSM) make him the nominee, THEN it'll be brought up as another way to take down the Republican candidate...as usual.

Can someone help me out here?

2011-12-31T08:25:00.000-06:00

I mean someone much smarter than I am...like a Liberal.

I keep seeing this GlowBull warming crap that you highlight and tell me the world as we know it will end in the next three decades. You know, I've been hearing that since you stopped telling us we were heading for a new ice age.

But -anyway can anyone tell me "WHO" decided that even if we were on the way to sunning ourselves on the new Riviera of the Northwest Passage, that "THIS" was the "right" temperature for Gaia?

Wouldn't the Medieval ~~Warm Period~~ Climate Anomaly work a little better? I mean, if you can grow grapes out doors in Scotland, and the Sahara is a grassland- what's so horrible about that?

Of course we'd all be suffering heat stroke because of all the blackouts caused by 0bamas EPA and their quest for climate 'stability'.

Or maybe the "Little Ice Age" that might be an 'unintended consequence' for this global climate interference that those smarter than us are trying to implement.

Of course if we tip to the cold side, we wouldn't be able to just go back to belching out CO2 and other 'greenhouse gasses'. We'd have to have some hugely expensive .GOV program to rectify that GlowBull climat change- wouldn't we?

So, what did kurt do today?

2011-12-30T20:33:00.001-06:00

As I was mentioning me driving big trucks

2011-12-30T11:27:00.000-06:00

I just got done changing my oil

2011-12-30T10:21:00.000-06:00

I was going to replace my thermostat, too but I need a 13MM deep socket- that I don't have.
While I was doing this, I was wearing shorts.

The reason I mentioned this is that I'm in south Texas and came across this ad in craigslist.

Why should I think this is one of those "Created or saved" jobs we (used to) keep hearing about?

Money talks, doesn't it Mitt?

2011-12-29T19:42:00.001-06:00

You're buying all these reliable Establishment Republicans to endorse you (like which other RINO would they back) and getting some kind of Qui-pro-Quo on others that obviously threw in their conservative creds on backing you (right Ann?)

Now he's using his connection in the VA GOP to screw over everyone but his buddy Ron Paul in changing the ballot rules in the middle of the game. They decided that NOW they'd be holding candidates to the standard they never used before this election.

And in yet another reason to NOT vote for Obama lite- Romney has his people in VA forcing any Republican who wants to vote in the primary signing a "Loyalty Oath" to vote for whoever comes out on top of that two person rigged ballot.
Is the ACLU going to jump in here about unrealistic voting requirements?

Kinda reminds you of someone else using scorched earth politics in using his political power to ~~grind over political problems~~ throw problems under the bus.

F-U Mittens, I'll never vote for you.

I'd like to buy 10,000 marbles please

Seventy years ago- on this day

2011-12-28T21:26:00.002-06:00

December 28, 1941, Rear Admiral Ben Moreell, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks (BUDOCKS), requested specific authority to activate, organize, and man a unique, very special organization that would support the Navy and Marines in remote locations and defend themselves if attacked — the Naval Construction Battalions. On January 5, 1942, he was given that authority and the original Battalions were formed at a new Naval base in Davisville, Rhode Island.

The first naval construction unit to actually deploy from the United States left Davisville, Rhode Island, less than two weeks later on January 17, 1942. It was designated the First Construction Detachment. The 296 men arrived at Bora Bora on February 17, 1942.

On March 5, all Construction Battalion personnel were officially named Seabees by the Navy Department. Admiral Moreell personally furnished them with their motto Construmus Batumius, or We Build, We Fight. A logo, the Fighting Bee, was created by a Rhode Islander at Davisville.

The Navy built their Battalions with experienced, highly skilled craftsmen … electricians, carpenters, plumbers, equipment operators — virtually any construction or building trade was welcome in the Seabees. Seabee units were quickly engaged in construction and combat. By July 1942, the first Naval Construction Battalion landed on Midway Island to begin work on the new airstrip on Sand Island and to start the massive clean up of damage caused by the Japanese bombing.

From the construction and defense of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal to the Normandy Invasion. Seabees participated in every major amphibious assault in World War II. They quickly earned a reputation for exceptional creativity. If materials weren’t available, the Seabees used whatever they could to get the job done.

Building a pipeline out of old 55 Gal drums

More than 325,000 men served with the Seabees in World War II, fighting and building in more than 400 locations before the war's end. They knew more than 60 skilled trades. In addition, nearly 8,000 Civil Engineer Corps officers served with the Seabees

NOTE--My battalion lost almost a quarter of their compliment assaulting Iwo Jima.

What was needed after the successful Marianas campaign was an emergency landing field much closer to the Japanese homeland that would service crippled bombers returning from raids and enable shorter- ranged fighter planes to accompany the giant bombers to their targets. The island chosen for this purpose was Iwo Jima, scene of some of the most savage fighting of the war. On 19 February 1945, the Fifth Amphibious Corps, which included the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion and elements of the 31st Naval Construction Battalion, hit the beaches. During the assault, the 133rd Naval Construction Battalion had the dubious honor of suffering more men killed or wounded than any other Seabee battalion in any previous or subsequent engagement. Although only minor construction was accomplished during the first ten days of the operation, the Seabees later built one crucial emergency landing field and fighter airstrips so desperately needed by the Allies.

The Seabees also played a key role in the last big operation of the island war, the seizure of Okinawa. The main invasion forces landed on Okinawa's west coast Hagushi beaches on Easter Sunday, 1 April 1945. Off the amphibious landing craft and over pontoons placed by the 130th Naval Construction Battalion went the 24th Army Corps and Third Amphibious Corps. Right beside them were the 58th, 71st and 145th Naval Construction Battalions. A few days later, two additional Naval Construction Battalions, the 44th and 130th, landed. The fighting was heavy and prolonged, and organized resistance did not cease until 21 June 1945.

The Seabees' task on Okinawa was truly immense. On this agrarian island, whose physical facilities a fierce bombardment had all but destroyed, they built ocean ports, a grid of roads, bomber and fighter fields, a seaplane base, quonset villages, tank farms, storage dumps, hospitals, and ship repair facilities.

Nearly 55,000 Seabees, organized into four brigades, participated in Okinawa construction operations. By the beginning of August 1945, sufficient facilities, supplies, and manpower were at hand to mount an invasion of the Japanese home islands.

While the Allied forces in the Philippines and on Okinawa were readying themselves for the final battles that would get them to Tokyo and complete the roads to victory, decisive events were taking place elsewhere, on the island of Tinian in the Marianas.

During the summer of 1945, the USS Indianapolis (CA-35) arrived at Tinian from the Naval Weapons Center at Port Chicago, California. Seabees of the Sixth Naval Construction Brigade helped with the unloading of the components of a newly- developed weapon. The Seabees then stored the elements in a shed built by themselves, and organized a detachment to guard the shed and its mysterious contents. Scientists assembled the weapon in the shed with several Seabees assisting as handymen.

If this is true...

Maybe we did put the fear of G-D in them.
(Ok, maybe the frear of re-election...)

A glimmer of "true grit" is emerging in the U.S. Senate, where Republican lawmakers are refusing to adjourn the Senate for the year, because while in session they have the ability to prevent confirmation of Obama appointments.

In doing so, this will 'neutralize' President Obama from making any "recess appointments," thereby thwarting the confirmation process, particularly with the now very controversial National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

The same NRLB who sued Boeing for trying to work with non-union labor.
The same NRLB who wants to shove card-check down companies throats to make it easier for their union thugs to take over right-to-work states.

Didn't we just go through this debt ceiling crap?

2011-12-28T09:37:00.000-06:00

If I remember right, it was like 4-6 months ago that President Moneybags got the Republicans to cave on a debt ceiling that was supposed to last until after Nov.2012.

Now he wants even MORE.

WTF???

STOP

SPENDING

MONEY

WE

DON'T

HAVE!

F-cking seriously.
Vote them ALL out!

Now we get a glimpse of the participants

For that USA TODAY/Gallup Poll which put Hillary and King Putt at the top of the most admired.
USA Today doesn't tell who they asked, but looking at the answers let me know it wasn't flyover country.

Judith Hurt, 53, of Willoughby, Ohio, just had fun with the question.

"I'm not into politics so I went with the people I really admire —George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez," she says.

Clooney's sexy smile reminds Hurt of the actor's aunt, Rosemary Clooney who crooned in Hurt's favorite movie, White Christmas.

As for singer Lopez, Hurt says, "She's come so far. She's a mom of twins and she still looks hot!"

Some dooshbag Liberal actor and an unmarried mother who- at least isn't on welfare.

I just realized why the Left

2011-12-27T17:25:00.000-06:00

And most Democrats want to help Hamas and the Palestinians.

It's because they help them remember their Democrat roots.

So we went out looking at new sofas today

2011-12-27T15:55:00.000-06:00

Because the existing one is broken.
Because 'someone' just has to fall into the thing no matter how much she's told not to. This will be the second thing she's broken buy falling into it.

Anyway, we're looking at sofas -no leather or pleather TYVM because we have dogs, and the only ones I want to afford are either the wrong color or don't feel just right.

So we ended up at the pawn shop I saw those four pump .22s. There are three now, but we found one she could feel comfortable using. It's an off brand called "Permier" that the guy said was sold at retail stores- way back in the day. That is the only thing on it besides the .22 LR-L-Short and the S/N.

According to THR it's either a Savage or a Stevens take-off of a Savage...or a Mossberg. I think it's worth $300- especially if she likes it....and I can shoot it.
We went to my favorite gun shop, and they didn't have anything we were interested in- between Christmas and the two best gun salesmen in modern times they were shy of almost all but the unpopular guns- and on backorder because of nationwide demand.

This woman is evil

2011-12-27T08:53:00.000-06:00

She is the one who will be the ~~first~~ second Democrat to send American citizens to detention camps.
She is presiding over what -if it were a Republican administration would have the ACLU and all the other fellow travelers up in arms about the encroachment of the evil NAZI Rethuglicans.

But she's doing it under President Whiteguilt and the Communists of the Democrat party so it's going to be a "happy" oppression.

Oh, puleeeze

2011-12-26T19:22:00.000-06:00

Alternate title- GMaFB

We're supposed to believe that MEchelle prayed to get King Putt over to his $4,000,000 Hawaiian vacation before Christmas?

Really?

Who believes that the Slacker in Chief would miss ducking out for two weeks at ~~Christmas~~ the Winter Solstice holiday?

A late Christmas present
