Just one of those slow days here at casa trainwreck

I din't find anything impelling enough to post about yesterday, and today isn't much better.

I tried searching for some information on the way Mexico treats their own Illegal immigrant problem on their southern border. All I could find was one position type paper and one blog- neither had links to any really concrete evidence. I DID- however find pages of search results on how (badly)we treat the few illegals we actually arrest.
I guess that's a post for someone why has the time and ability to dig for facts.

Wife and I were off yesterday, we went to San Antonio to spend some more money. I wanted to stop at a gun shop to price a .22 revolver but they were closed, so we stopped into Sportsman's Warehouseto see how some fitted her hand. That's ALL we did- I'm not going to pay almost $300 for a .22 revolver -plus tax. We did find out that the one that's comfortable for her hand is a little too small for me. I did like the Academys prices, but just thought that this hoglegporkchop was a little too long at 9" worth of barrel for backyard shooting (it was the only one they had in the showcase).

The 14 yr old 15 in Feb year-old liked the ChexMix so well that she made some for herself last night. I supervised from the computer. She did well. I hope she decides to be the next Racheal Rae , that way she can be "famous" an not be living on the left coast with all those Cali crackpots.

It look like I was wrong in my post on the SPYING investigation.

(Cue the "Patton" music)
It looks like divulging top secret information that your enemy can use to elude detection is now called Patriotism and not traitorous acts.

I can see doing this to some d*ckhead

But not your girlfriend. Read the second question to click and clack
the tappet brothers.

Here's A HINT:
Tom: Gee, I don't know, Melissa. My brother tops off my headlight fluid all the time, and he usually charges me more than that.

Ray: Actually, there are two possibilities here, Melissa. One is that you misunderstood what your boyfriend said. Perhaps instead of saying he replaced the "fluid levels in the headlights," he actually said he took care of the "fluid levels AND the headlights." That would be perfectly reasonable.


D*ckhead yes, someone I'm trying to get somewhere with- a definite NO.

File this under "cool"




No matter how non-geeky you are, you have to admit this is cool.

I really can't believe that I agree with Nancy Pelosi (D Ca.)

When she's giving her weekly radio address about the Federal budget.

Can you believe that we BOTH think the budget should be redone?
Listen to what she's got to say:

"Today as Americans are making New Year's resolutions, our Democratic New Year's resolution is to renew America's promise," the California congresswoman said.

A budget that addresses issues such as health care and education would create a better future for the American people, she said, but the current Republican spending plan fails to do so.

"The federal budget should be a statement of our national values," Pelosi said. "Sadly, the Republican budget fails that test."

How can we disagree with that? We should be rethinking what kind of message we're sending when we throw half our budget away on entitlement programs. Not to mention the fact that we're going to be spending only gawd-knows how much on Bush's flood of Federal perscription votemongering. We need to address healthcare and education! We need to get the lawers and unions out of them both. Lets stop shovelling money into a bottomless pit that's gaining exactly Jack-chit in efficiency.

I agree that the budget should be a statment of our values. We need to quit kissing @ss on everyone who has their hand out as a gimmie vote.


Now, though I have to stop myself from giving her a swirly when she hypocritically brings the religious right into her diatribe.

"We must draw a fiscal line in the sand. And we must join the religious community in drawing a moral line in the sand," Pelosi said. "Nothing less is at stake than the well-being of America's children, the strength and soundness of our economy, and the respect that America commands in the world."

The ONLY reason she's with the religious community -now- is because they oppose the Republican budget, and lets not go into her moral stance against most things America embraces.
BUT you notice how she finally worked in the "for the children" kant.


You can read more over at Robs place.

Good morning blogworld and I hope a better year than the one just behind us.

And just to show you what's in store for us this year, I give you a sample of the wondrous scientific finds awaiting us!

We've all heard of the mysterious "Elephant Graveyard" where they go to to die.
Now, scientists have found the elusive Dodo graveyard down in Mauritius.

No complete skeleton has ever been found in Mauritius, and the last full set of bones was destroyed in a fire at a museum in Oxford, England, in 1755.

Researchers believe the bones are at least 2,000 years old, and hope to learn more about how dodos lived

The discovery was hailed as a breakthrough in the Netherlands.

"This new find will allow for the first scientific research into and reconstruction of the world in which the dodo lived, before western man landed on Mauritius and wiped out the species," the country's Natural History Museum announced in a statement.


Imagine the wonders that await us with the discovery of Dodo civilization.

I'm sure you've all heard about Farris Hassan,

the 16 year-old who hied off to Iraq without anyone knowing about it- right?

As a parent AND someone with a bit of common sense, I'm wondering exactly how he got away with it?

First question (not the first that popped into my mind-but): it costs $3,416 for a round trip ticked from Fla. to Kuwait. Where did he get the money? It's obvious that his parents are loaded, but still a $3,000+ credit card limit -for a 16year-old???

Second: Why didn't anyone tell the parents?
Skipping a week of school, he left the country on Dec. 11, telling only two high school friends of his plans. His travels took him to Kuwait and Lebanon before he arrived in Iraq on Christmas Day. He left without telling his family and sent an e-mail after his departure, Atiya said.

The teen traveled to Kuwait, where a taxi dropped him in the desert at the Iraq border, but he could not cross there because of tightened security ahead of the Iraqi parliamentary elections on Dec. 15. He went to Beirut, Lebanon, to stay with family friends, and flew from there to Baghdad. What, they don't believe in calling home to tell mom and dad that sonny made it here safe?

Julie Schiedegger, who teaches English at Pine Crest, said Friday that she learned Hassan was headed to Iraq about two weeks ago when she overheard some students talking about it.


After his second night in Baghdad, he contacted the AP and said he had come to do research and humanitarian work.
The AP called the U.S. Embassy, which sent U.S. soldiers to pick him up.


State Department officials then notified his parents.

So, we have three examples of foreknowledge and no-one dropped a dime to mention it to the parents?

What about his passport? Can minors make their own international flight plans, and board without parental notification (don't ask-don't-tell) ? He's in the United States. Why did he have his Passport with him instead of in safe keeping with the rest of the family's? Oh, am I the only one that doesn't carry their Passport with them at all times- just in case I need to drop by some Mid-eastern sand pit at a moments notice?
Does Julie Schiedegger still have a job? Of course she does, she's probably got tenure- besides telling the parents that their son was heading off to some God-forsaken sandy chit-pile would be like "imposing" moral judgment (or some liberal garbage).

Hey, remember Joe Wilson's wife?

Yeah, the secretary spy undercover agent who worked for the CIA! That's the one! The New Yankme Times and the rest of the Leftwing media was all on the bandwagon to "Find the REAL killers" find the source of the leaked name St. Plame.

Now, lets fastforward to ohhh, say May of this year where "secret CIA flights" originated. Remember the outcry?

Nope, me neither.

How about part of the big brouhaha about extradition
rendition? Remember the demands for the source of the leak? Probably not, because almost the only people who knew about them were getting Top Security briefings about it.

And now we have the latest breach of secrecy -again from the mouths of those in Congress the know about wiretaps on terrorist sympathizer, supporters and operatives. The white House finally decided to get off it's @ss and try to find the most likely sources of those Top Secret leaks.

Well, now that they have- my first prediction of the year will be that the Legacy Media and it's hangers-on will be wailing about the WITCH HUNT about to take place.


My guess is that Rove did it.

(UPDATE DEC 31)
DonJr just reminded me of the "secret" cookies dropped onto your browser by the NSA site. Personally I feel less vulnerable from an NAS cookie than I do knowing GOOGLE is getting the ability to track almost every keystroke I make on my computer.

The Trainwreck Awards

Well, since everyone else is doing the year -end thing, I thought I'd toss y'all these trainwrecks of:

A life Britney Spears Trailer trash baybee.

A political ideology The HoDea chairmanship and the leftward lurch of the DNC

A world government body the U.N. if you don't know why, the back button is at the top- left.

An environmental treaty I give you the Eurowienies' Kyoto protocols


An outdated, anti-consumer energy policy is shown by the aftermath of Katrina, and what, exactly has congress done to change anything?

An "explanation" of being 'roid pos. we give you Rafael Palmeiro.

Ok, that's enough steam, screeching metal and coal dust choking the pristine environment of the southwest.
And so we conclude this outing of the "Trainees".

The difference between men and women(an example)

HER side of the story....

He was in an odd mood Sunday night. We planned to meet at a bar for a drink. I spent the afternoon shopping with the girls and I thought it might have been my fault because I was a bit later than I promised, but he didn't say anything much about it. The conversation was very slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately. We went to this restaurant and he was STILL acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure. So anyway, in the car on the way back home, I said that I loved him deeply and he just put his arm around me. I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he didn't say it back or anything. We finally got back home and I was wondering if he was going to leave me! So I tried to get him to talk but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to bed. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and to my surprise, we made love. But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to confront him but I just cried myself to sleep. I just don't know what to do anymore. I mean, I really think he's seeing someone else.

--------------------------------------------

HIS side of the Story:

The Titans lost. Got laid though.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks really dorky

to see one of these kids (or "fshionable adults) driving down the road leaning soooo far over that they look down the centerline of the hood? Yeah, I know- it's supposed to be cool.

Unless you're left handed it's also a good way to get into a wreck. If you don't write or do anything else requiring fine movements wiith your left hand, why lie on your dominant hand and control a 4,000 pound vehicle with your left? The ones I've been behind have a hard time keeping it between lane markers.

Besides I was following two gys yesterday, both were leaning into the middle- it looked like they were the stars of "Brokeback Mountain".

Gimme a kiss hunny.

So tell me something,

I'm just surfing, and got off of the Day by Day cartoon.

If I saw Jan in real life- would I think she's as slutty as she's drawn?

Would I be a dumbstruck adolescent if Sam walked into the room?

Is it "strange" to have the hots for a cartoon drawing?. . . Not that I would ever think of Sam that way- but -you know hypothetically?

Well, it's kinda late

but the Chex mix is in the oven. I finally had time to look up a recipe I liked, and mix it.

The computer is working alot better since I uninstalled the newest Adobe upgrade- and the photoshop trial that came with it. I was suspicious when the clan Singh took over my computer to install the newest Adobe. I also uninstalled Quicktime, which got installed about the same time the computer went south.

The Presario is getting fixed, and I'm stealing the 14-yr-olds *new*(e-bay) computer until I get mine back. He's going to charge $45 to solder a lead to the motherboard and leave a flex connection out of where the old pre-engineered breaking point power socket used to be in the case.

If you haven't had enough Christmas yet,

here's a quick Christmas Story for you.

Merry Christmas!

Just to clear things up for some people,

This is a CHRISTMAS tree:





It's not a Hanukkah hedge
It's not a Kwanza bush
It's not a "Holiday" tree
It's not an Ead Eed Eid whatever(moslem)Alder


It is a CHRISTMAS tree.

From the Christian religion.

I know HE is the representation of tolerance, but I'm getting daym tired of having all this P/C garbage shoved down my throat.
HE said I'm supposed to turn the other cheek and forgive 70 times 7. I think that number has been passed a while ago. I don't think I'd be so affronted by others religious holidays and observances IF the Liberals wouldn't be condemning my religious beliefs every time I turn around. I'm not all that religious, but I have my beliefs and I'm getting sick and tired of the MSM and their fellow travelers telling me I should embrace a sect that calls for killing me and everyone who doesn't belong to that so-called "religion" of death.

Right, but sooo wrong, too.

Farm or Ranch You scored 13 out of 40 on urban-rural and 16 out of 40 land intensity.

People know you as: The Milkmaid Quote: "You get to not mind the cow smell." Your score indicates that you prefer a rural atmosphere to an urban one and low land intensity. You’re no hermit though; you like other people and, once you start talking to them, other people like you. As far as you’re concerned there is no difference between living in a city and living in a suburb, not that you would want to do either because you’re probably a bit scared of cities in the first place. Examples of places you should live: Amish country, PA; Kansas All Categories Secluded Hideaway / Farm or Ranch / Small Town / Little City / Suburb / Streetcar Suburb / Rowhouse 'Hood / Downtown Loft

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 11% on urban-rural You scored higher than 14% on land intensity

Hondo, TEXAS
and, no- I don't actually LIKE people.
The reason I don't like a city is that there are too many people there- with their F*ing 24inch base Barrio blasters inflicting their noise on me.

Oh, and the "no shooting in the backyard" thing.

(UPDATE) I fergot to tell y'all that I stole this from Donnie.

Well, I wasn't going to bring up the "domestic spying" thing for Christmas

But I just heard another spying allegation from the left.

I am really getting pissed about all this Top Secret spying cr@p. All we hear about is what the Bush administration is doing listening to "alleged" terrorists- and how it's all out of bounds. The MSM is all over the surveillance thing, so is Iowa Hawk- he's all over this spying thing like white on rice, AND the labor walkout right before Christmas, too.

When ARE we going to have hearings on this spying stuff?
When are (or are we) going to find out who leaked TOP SECRET actions to their fellow socialists in the MSM?


At least the Hawk isn't giving the MSM top secret briefing topics to help sell a frigging BOOK.

Merry Christmas George!

In case you hadn't gotten your chance to see it this year, here's a thirty second re-run of 'It's a wonderful life' with cliches and all.

Ok, so who's in charge up there?

Did you read about the House only extending the Homeland security bill by ONE f*cking month?
I thought the Republicans were the majority party- supposedly in charge of both the house and Senate.

Why are they letting the Democrats run all over them? I know, they wanted to go home and *koff* take their voters concern to heart *snortle*. Will someone give me a reason to vote for any party anymore? I mean the Republicans are just as feckless and spendthrift as Democrats have been seen historically. The Democrats are now so far to the left, that one slip will send them solidly into the Communist camp- instead of flirting with Socialists.

The Democrats are setting the agenda, and deciding everything that matters to the future of America. Anybody remember this last summer? Hurricanes out the @ss, broken pipelines and refineries- and WHO decided to keep everything the way it was after they pissed all over Bush?

Yeah, I'm on the oil thing- I drive 102 mi. a day.

Next time gas hits $3/gal you can thank

these people who actively tried to stop drilling for oil at home.

Not to mention the Fla. Congressional delegation for putting the kibosh on unsightly drilling rigs so far off the coast that you can hardly see them.

I wanted to bring you the official tally on who voted for or against the bill- but as usual, nothing in Congress is straight forward. Here are the votes, and you can figure out what it means.
If some blogger could sort it out for us, the great unwashed, I think it would be appreciated. All I know is the Dems ran over the RINOs again, and showed who's really running things.

Like I said, $3/gal- you know who to thank. AND all the oil companies should be thanking the same people for their record profits this year.

Miscellaneous B.S.

I missed the test this morning, got a late start due to the Mazdas' newly discovered thirst for motor oil ( the rear main seal- it looks like). After I found a quart of 40wt. I hit every read light between here and San Antonio. By the time I got to the N.E. side of S.A. it was already 8AM, it would have taken another 60-90 min to get where I had to be. So, instead of a wasted 100= mi. round trip, I didn't even call to cancell (the confirmation mail didn't have a phone number for the test center). Well, I can't take the ATS screener test for another 185 days.

I'm still waiting on the title for the Mazda- he keeps telling me the "title's in the mail"- I'm wondering if I saw the right title when I have him the check. Guess I'll wander down to the P.D. to see who actually owns it.

Vonage is working again, it had a fit this weekend, may have been the computer- That stopped connecting this morning about 6:30AM, and may have a virus that is VERY well hidden.
The Wildblue rep was out just now, my power is on the low side. He did some resets and I can access AlGores Internet, now- again.
He thinks I might have a hidden virus, too, but he didn't want to start deleting things- I understand but it's working alot better now. It's working alot better than that last sentence, anyway.

The laptop finally lost it's charging ability Sun. It seems the pin going into the charging dohikey breaks off alot. Wifes boss's son-in-law will fix mine better than new for $45.

I just got done installing wifes Christmas present, a new ceiling fan/light with remote. I would have gone with the regular wired one, but the remote controlls the fan speed AND light settings with the 2 wire existing wireing.

So everyone is having kittens about Bush OKing the SPYING on PRIVATE PHONECALLS of suspected trerrorists, huh? I guess it doesn't matter that he went to the Senate and House intelligence committies and BOTH of them signed off on it (them?) including the DEMOCRATS who are strangly silent on defending the way Bush went through channels.
- - - And speaking of spying on americans, has anyone ever found out who hired Craig Livingstone?

I was listening to a guy on WOAI last night outraged about the illegals situation- he wanted Bush to do something. He said that if it were proved that the next attack (by moslem terrorists) came via Mexico- THEN the border would be shut. -Sorry guy, Bush has too much invested politically, and business wize to stop the illegals.

So where do I go around the Castroville/Hondo area to agitate help get Kinky on the ballot? I guess a link here would help.

Long day yesterday

We were supposed to take down some light "poles" and haul them to the salvage yard.
It turns out that these light poles were 150' light towers for a High School football field. There's now ay our 45' boom truck would even think about doing anything but causing trouble- so we waited for a crane.

When they finally got there -the replacement rigger was either mentally damaged, or fried from too much crank- and pretty well clueless. Well, he's getting paid to do the high work, we're here to, ummm, cut anchor bolts- ummm - and watch.
It took about 2 hours to get the first one down and about an hour for the rest- except the 2nd to the last. It was in a pretty well inaccessible location, and tight up against the stadium wall.
When we finally got it on the ground- it tried to collapse.

The last one was a piece of cake, cut 12 -1" bolts and swing it down- which was good because it was frikin' dark were we were then.
Got back to the yard at 8:30PM and home about 9:40PM.

13 1/2 hours, which helps because I'm off today taking a Civil Service test for an airline security screener. Hey- it's cool in the summer, warm in the winter and- - - DRY!

THIS is why I firmly believe in the K.I.S.S. principle

And I don't mean the hair band.

It crashed yesterday. It's a VoIP via Bluewave satellite broadband.
I guess it wouldn't have been so bad, but I live in a dead cell area for T-mobile.
(It wouldn't be dead if T-mobile had any phones with an antenna- or used a SIM card)
I have to drive 1/4 mile to get Cell reception, so naturally I can't troubleshoot with the Indian Tech.

I rebooted.
I restored.
I unplugged.
I plugged back in.
I stuck a paperclip in the reset hole.
I got it to stop sounding like I dialed a wrong number when I picked up the handset,
now it only sounds like a fast busy signal.

OK, Wife is going to check with her geek co-workers tomorrow, AND see about fixing the pin that goes into the battery charger of the Pressario laptop. It finally broke today.

Gawd, I love it when I get hit by an avalanche of chit.
It's going to cost about $35 to cancel Vonage, plus the shipping of the Phone modem I didn't hook-up. (yes- I DID try it with the phone, didn't get anything).
In order to get a phone here, we'll need Verizon, or Cingular.
I'm not going near ANYONE who aligns themselves with SBC ATT, because I personally know how badly they suck.

Every time I turn around, cr@p is costing me money.
With nothing to show for it.

I see quite a few people looking for trainwreck pictures

on my referrer log.
I'm not sure, but they may be looking for this picture


It's a staged wreck from a short lived town just north of Waco called appropriately- Crash. The town lived for one day as an advertising stunt called "The crash at Crush".

You may want to open another window to play this Scott Joplin midi tune as you read the link. It's called "The great Crush collision."

Here's a question for you high dollar self employed professionals

And not so high dollar self employed professionals, too.

Wife and I were talking about starting a business I heard about on some radio program, easy start-up. Low overhead, etc.
I went to the SBA site and while nosing around, found this page about self-employment taxes.
The question is- is it REALLY "available" or mandatory, like SSI. I mean can we put the money the gov't would squander waste protect like it was their own into our own retirement- so we'd actually HAVE something to retire on?

Yeah, I know- stop laughing, it was just a passing hope.

Looks like I MAY have found someone I can look at for president

You may have heard of him, he's working in DC right now, and calls Colorado home.
I added a Tancredo4prez link to my blogroll. It'll stay up untill I decide weather or not to fully support him.

He happens to be a Republican, but if you have a Dem, or Indi that I should look at, feel welcome to send me information.

I'm sure you've all heard some of the WWII/Iraq analogy

If you're talking about the defetist, anti-American (Bush) stance, it's a little flawed.

I just had time to look at this article in the American Thinker, and saw the same flaw I'd heard from Rush and others.

Q. “Since there are always root causes for bellicosity, what’s the root cause of Japan’s attack?”

A. Americans have never bothered to learn Japanese language, culture, and history. So we don’t understand Japan’s complaints against us. There would never have been a Pearl Harbor attack if we had been nicer to Japanese immigrants.

Q. “What’s the root cause for Adolf Hitler’s and Nazi Germany’s animosity towards America?”

A. Jews have disproportionate influence in the current American administration. That’s why President Franklin Delano Roosevelt supports Zionism and the idea of a Jewish state in the Middle East. That’s also why Roosevelt is such a lackey of the British, who persist in standing in the way of Germany’s legitimate need for lebensraum in Poland and in other parts of Eastern Europe.

Not only that. We should be sending a team to Switzerland to talk to Hitler’s emissaries and find a way to stop this totally unnecessary war right now.

Q. “But if we continue to fight, how can do so if we don’t know how much the war is is going to cost us?”

A. We’re only now beginning to emerge from the Depression. In fact, our 1941 deficit equals 4.3 percent of our GDP. So how can Congress give Roosevelt a blank check? The government’s first responsibility is to respond not to unimportant foreign threats, but to urgent domestic needs like health care.

Q. “How can we fight without a plan telling us exactly when and how the war will end?”

A. It’s not acceptable for Roosevelt to prattle that the war will be long and hard, and will end only when we’re victorious. That kind of rhetoric may be suitable for an aging imperialist like Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who keeps telling the British people that their aim must be “victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.” But there’s no room for such talk in liberal America.

Q. “We’re taking very heavy losses. An average of 215 American soldiers and sailors are dying every day in a war we shouldn’t have let ourselves get into. Isn’t it obvious that the Axis powers are going to win this war, and that we’re going to lose it?”

A. Japan and Germany are sinking Allied vessels at a faster rate than they can be replaced. The Philippines, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, Poland, France, Belgium, the Soviet Union, Norway, Denmark, and the Balkans have all been overrun. And North Africa and the Middle East are next. So the right thing to do — the only thing to do — is for the United States to sue for peace and bring our brave boys home right away.

As an example.

The big difference is- between then and now:
The modern day Libs would have NO problem with what we did in WWII because FDR was a DEMOCRAT!

I guess y'all have heard by now

that the House of Representatives has passed some kind of border security legislation.
Not that it's going to go anywhere, it's got the U.S. senate to F-it up and Bush will probably break his (almost) six year streak of not vetoing ONE bill on his desk.

According to the BeeB:

Mexico has condemned a migration bill being debated by the US Congress, saying it is too focused on securing its 3,220-km (2,000-mile) border. Yeh, it's about time, don't ya think?

A spokesman for Mexican President Vicente Fox said security alone could not solve immigration problems. True, YOU could actually try to make your country something besides a third world chithole.

Ruben Aguilar added that his compatriots in the US made "an enormous contribution to the US economy". That's true- our prison system is expanding doing quite well, thanks to you and your international criminals. Our TAXPAYER funded education and healthcare system is over worked, underfunded and lowering standards regularly. Health insurance is going through the roof- partly to subsidize your non-paying illegals citizens.

The House passed a Border Security Act yesterday (H.RES.4437) , which included:

• forces employers to verify the status of workers and raises fines against those who knowingly hire illegal aliens

• orders the construction of a hi-tech fence along parts of the US border with Mexico and asks for a study on using barriers along the Canadian border

• makes it a felony to live in the US illegally instead of a civil offence and toughens penalties for document fraud

• enlists military and local law enforcement to help stop illegal entrants.

They pretty much ignored the question of anchor babies, which pretty much leaves Rep.Tancredo (R. Co.) and his statment with out legs:

"You will find people will go home and they will go home by the millions," he said. "Those who don't go home, you deport." Because who, but a rabid, evil, RETHUGLICAN would even think of separating a family because they actively broke the law.
