Just because I have evil thoughts, does that make me a

Oh, yeah- I AM a conservative.

I'm watching listening to the dog show tonight. They have the English terrier group on now, which reminds me of the trip home tonight.
I was heading west on I-10/HWY-90 and saw one of those ugly @ss red Pitbulls fixing to cross the road in front of me. The traffic was fairly light, so I wouldn't have any problems avoiding it.

This is SouthSan- low class brown trash and gangs, the dog had probably been trained as some kind of attack dog. If it hadn't killed or maimed yet, it has a real good chance soon.

Do I hit it, or avoid it?

So, the way Bush and Co. keep defending out borders

I guess this will become the national pastime?

Man, another one

No, not moslem rioting- a church burning in Alabama.
I think it's unsupervised kids looking for exitement.

It looks like at least one newbie Republican knows why he's in DC

unfortunately his views and mine are 180 degrees apart.
I'm not sure how much to trust the story I'm reading, because it comes from a
notoriously partisan and inaccurate source.
See, the republians went on a retreat to work on their future image- with a new leader.

One of the items raised was earmarks (pork) in the budget.
A controversy over earmarks _ the congressional name for funding pet projects _ is particularly intense. Especially since one GOP-led committee compiled a secret tally sheet showing earmark requests made by Republicans calling for reform.

"Earmarks have become the currency of corruption," Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., (He looks promising-Kurt)recently wrote Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill. "We can't allow this to continue."

High on the list of challenges for the GOP is the annual drafting of a budget. President Bush's appearance on Friday's program was a reminder that he's calling for $70 billion in savings over five years from benefit programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and payments to farmers. (OHmygod, starving the POOR!!!!!!!!)
-snip-
Fiscal conservatives are particularly determined to cut back on earmarks.

The practice, an old one, has mushroomed in recent years under Republican sponsorship, and the legislation backed by Flake and numerous other lawmakers is designed to trim it.

The measure would preserve the existence of earmarks, but for the first time allow critics to challenge them one by one on the House floor.

Flake, who issues a stream of news releases accusing his fellow lawmakers of wasteful spending, says the purpose is transparency in government. The theory is that forcing lawmakers to defend projects will expose them to ridicule and, eventually, the practice will ebb.
I like this guy, if I were in Az, I'd vote for him again-if he lives up to his words.

The committee that controls the pursestrings compiled a list of earmarks requested last year by GOP lawmakers who favor Flake's bill. The total was 717 requested earmarks, although none for Flake, for more than $4.5 billion.
This other guy, however- shows that he knows how Gov't works, and is determined to be a regular for a long time in DC.

The response was sharp.
"I am shocked that the Republican staff of a Republican-led committee in a Republican-majority Congress would do opposition research on a fellow Republican," first-term Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia wrote in a letter to fellow GOP lawmakers. "I do not see any other purpose behind the preparation of this report other than for it to be leaked to the press."

The Associated Press obtained copies of both the Appropriations Committee tally and the letter.

By committee count, Westmoreland requested 59 earmarks last year, for a total of $536 million. His office declined to release the entire list of projects he requested.
Didn't I tell ya that boy had a real future in politics?

We sent the republicans up to DC because they were SUPPOSED to be the party of constraint.
I guess that's only when a Democrat is living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. All they've done is change a coal shovel for a grain shovel in the budget department.
They've gone so far to the left that FDR would now probably call himself a moderate conservative.
If there was a viable independent party with a majority of views I agreed with, they'd get my vote in a heartbeat.

You may have noticed the small, inconspicuous Kinky Friedman for Gov. on the top of the blog.
I'll help him get elected simply because he's a real independent. He really can't do much to change the standard rout with out the Leg going along, so like his campaign slogan says-"Why the hell not?" (Besides, I stole it and can't figure out how to resize it)

It's sad to think that this will never happen in America

again.

An Australian football player "dacked"(pantsed) a team-mate in front of a school full of adolescent girls.

What wouldn't happen in America- anymore- because of lawsuits "Zero Tolerance" and Political Correctness is:

Roos said there was no need to fine or reprimand Kennelly further after the dashing defender accepted full responsibility for his actions.

"It's about accepting responsibility for your actions that's what we are all about here at the Swans," Roos said.

"I guess you can debate punishment and all those sorts of things but the most important thing for us as a footy club is to have good role models and good people and characters.

"If mistakes are made we want you to put your hand up and accept the consequences and Tadhg was very keen to get back to the school as quick as he could and very keen to speak to the students tomorrow."

Swans chief executive Myles Baron-Hay, who learned of the Kennelly incident late yesterday, endorsed the way the club and its player handled the situation.

"Tadhg is embarrassed by it and realises it's the wrong thing to do and has unreservedly apologised," Baron-Hay said.


And did I mention how the educators believed how this would affect the girls?
Permanent scarring? Behavioral problems? Councilor's called in?
How about:
"It certainly was an unexpected response to a question in front of a group of girls,"she said. Gurr said Kennelly's actions would not be mimicked in the schoolyard.

"They (the girls) have a very clear understanding about how to behave," she said. "I don't think it will inspire them to do that at all."

Yeah, you think that reaction would happen in America, the p*ssified today?

BWAAAAHAHAHA

I think we had the rest of the kids this morning.

Don't click this link if you have a queasy stomach

No, it's not disgustingly gross, it just has Paris Hilton with a(nother) boob out.

I'd have to hazard a guess and assume the lady on her right thinks as much of her as I do.

I think I'll put Western Caviar on the blogroll for a while, see if they keep regular posts.

In the spirit of bi-partisanship

I offer this idea for a bumpersticker.
Both parties can use it, although it only promotes one name.
It should bring people together (at least while buying it).


RUN HILLARY! RUN!

The Democrats can put it on the tradidtional rear bumper.
The Republicans should put it in front.

Texas forced to patrol their own border

Since President Bush refuses to.

Gov. Rick Perry has decided to launch Operation Rio Grande to try to stem the increasingly brazen border incursions.

AUSTIN Gov. Rick Perry today launched “Operation Rio Grande,” a state-led initiative to address escalating violence, increase border security and ensure Texans’ safety. The operation brings together a variety of state resources to better secure the Texas-Mexico border from Brownsville to El Paso.

ÂThere is not only great concern that the drug trade is becoming more aggressive, but that terrorist organizations are seeking to exploit our porous border, Perry said. Last year alone, 135,000 people who are not of Mexican descent were apprehended entering Texas illegally. The threat is real, and it grows each day.

-snip-

"While enforcing our border remains the responsibility of the federal government, the consequences of an action are felt right here at home in Texas, Perry said. The state will not wait for Washington to take all the necessary actions.

Although Perry emphasized that border threats are best addressed by law enforcement, Texas Army National Guard planners and analysts will also provide support to operation.

This is a BIG problem I have with the current president. I have others, but they'll be posted as they come up.
George W. Bush refuses to do anything substantial about the problems on the border. Illegals. Drugs. Lawlessness.
Foreign incursions are all poo-poo'd away and double talked to death. While sheriffs of Hudsputh County are getting personal threats- at their homes from Mexicans driving Mexican tagged vehicles. Bush sends his spokes-flack to lie about how the Border Patrol is changing procedures.

Good God, has she no shame?

of course not, she's Saint Cindy- now on E-Bay.
Sorry "Chip", I just had to check, it was too good to be true.

There are only 2 days left to buy a speaking engagement. Go, bid now! As of this posting, she's worth $1,275.00.

Since this won't last forever, here is the text:

Speaking Engagement with Cindy Sheehan
Have this courageous mother and powerful advocate for truth speak to your group.

The journey toward truth often begins with one simple act of faith and determination.

Cindy Sheehan spent months searching for answers for why her son had to give his life in Iraq, and months traveling across the country wading through the spin and the lies seeking a truth that never came. When enough was at long last enough, Cindy went to Crawford, Texas and sat down.

And in that one quiet moment of determination, a ripple of truth became a great river, joined in its journey by the tributaries of thousands of others who could not ignore the simple power of one grieving mother asking, "Why?"

Cindy has become an inspiration to many who fight for truth. She is an example of the extraordinary power we each possess to make change in the world.

Because we in the progressive community are on this journey with her, Cindy is generously donating some of her time to help raise money for the YearlyKos Convention (see below for more info on YearlyKos).

You are bidding on a speaking engagement with Cindy Sheehan. Cindy will come speak to a group of your choice (within the continental US)*, and any speaking fees and transportation costs will be waived (your group will only need to provide lodging for the night).

This is a wonderful opportunity to treat your group to an evening of motivation, inspiration, truth, and the indomitable power of a mother's love... and you get to help out the progressive cause, to boot! How great is that?



* Note: Because of the obvious potential for right-wing shenanigans, Cindy retains the right to refuse to speak to groups antithetical to her cause or offensive to her beliefs. If no group can be agreed upon, the winning bidder will receive a full refund.

Yes, You read correctly, the Absolute Moral Authority won't speak if she disagrees with your beliefs. Also, she believes that it's Ok for her to shut your views off, but not hers.

Man, those mullahhhhas are mining the madness for all they can get, huh?

What is it now, over a week- and they're still rioting in the Mid-east to S. Africa.
Come on people they're CARTOONS!
If you act this way every time someone says or does anything that "offends" you, you really need to refocus your outrage.

Say to the institutionalized rape of half of your population- and then punishing them for it.
A 15 year old girl was hanged the other day for trying to protect herself and a younger sister against a gang rape- in IRAN. She managed to stab one of the followers of moHAMed, and he died.
She was hung for murder. But what do you expect from a cult that treats women as badly as they treat feral dogs?

They really need to STFU and start trying to act like civilized human beings, instead of children throwing an organized temper tantrum.

A nod to CUG

I just gotta bet that the driver was a union guy.

I have to say that on the surface, I find it extremely hard to believe

That Terrorists from the "Religion of Piss" would do a 9-11 on L.A.
I mean, they HAVE attacked French, and other islamaphilic countries before, so it's not beyond reality.

I just have a hard time seeing them attacking their biggest backers, is all. I'm not a strategic thinker, but just can't see turning supporters and appologists into -at worse, foes. I mean crap, they might make a nasty sign and link me with Haliburton at their next demonstration against Bush the war. Those Californians may even act like we're not on the same page anymore and draw piggy faces on their moHALIBURTONommad signs.

It's a good thing the Girl Scout that Bu$Haliburton=Hitler was wiretapping(illegally) mentioned hearing the moslems talking.

PSSSSStttttttt, wanna see something Kinky?

Quite safe for work, unless you work for a major political party.

Two quick thoughts

#1 When taking care of your morning ritual, be sure you know where the deodorant nossel is pointed. Nothing will wake you up like Arid SPORT in the side of your eye first thing in the morning.

#2 I was making my lunch, when I started thinking....MMmmmmm Peanut butter-made from the "food of the slaves." Then I remembered all the people who have stopped our enjoyment of the things in alot of places because of life. threatanging. allergies. The WHITE (ok and black) slavemasters would feed peanuts to their slaves because it was cheap food. What about the slaves who were ALLERGIC to peanuts? They'd DIE..... you Bastards!

Fake, but Accurate 2.0

Ok, I gotta admit that I was kinda surprized at the world-wide rioting. Sure the moslems are nuts, look at their way of life, any sane person would have skeedaddled by now. They riot like L.A. does after celibrating a championship.

It seems that those cartoons everyone's been seeing and rerunning weren't bad enough to really get out the loons, so-Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban-a moslem holyman decided to add his own pictures. Just to be sure the donkeys acted the way they were supposed to. You know, show the world how mature they are in the face of not getting their way being offended like every other religion is treated to at one time or another (or continiuosly).

He decided to add three pics designed to blow the lid off ANY kind of reluctance the unwashed horde might have to get stupid, including mohhamid with a pig snout. That's worse than fake T.A.N.G. records, at least they didn't kil anyone. Newsweeks koran flushing lies showed just how these paragons of maturity and restraint act when their so-called religion is in the least bit disrespected. Our 15 yearold has always acted more mature than these mohhamedines whenever she's been swatted down.

(UPDATE) You really have to wonder what changed between ramadon, 2005 and now?
With the same cartoons printed in an Egyptian paper bought by the millions, and no outrage or riots against Egyptians. I guess they were too busy trampeling each other in the annual stampeed.

This can't be good

And here I thought they were going into competition with Google.

I'm tired

You've heard about the Iranian contest to p*ss off the west- haven't you?
Go check these cartoons out.
Do they get your blood bloiling?
Do they make you want to pick up a rock and break windows?
Burn buildings?

You ain't seen nothing yet, those cartoons are normal fare for the Religion of P1ss.
Just go riot if you feel like it-only don't do it in L.A., they'll think they just won a title-or something.

Isn't the 9-11 Cover up Commission the Be-All to the Legacy Media?

If it is, then why are they so silent on what they had to say about FISA?

I can't find a direct link to it, but via Newsmax comes this little nugget:
"The FISA application process continues to be long and slow. Requests for approvals are overwhelming the ability of the system to process them and to conduct a surveillance.” he 'wall' between criminal and intelligence investigations apparently caused agents to be less aggressive than they might otherwise have been in pursuing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance powers in counterterrorism investigations.
"Moreover, the FISA approval process involved multiple levels of review, which also discouraged agents from using such surveillance. Many agents also told us that the process for getting FISA packages approved at FBI Headquarters and the Department of Justice was incredibly lengthy and inefficient".

Yes, the illegal, immoral, improbable soccer-mom spying was done because FISA was a NORMAL BEREAUCRATIC clusterf*ck from the git-go.
These same Libs who look at the report as (well they are anti-religion) almost the word of God, seem to overlook the failings of their idolic secret court.
I would hazard a guess as to the fact that it gives Bush a pass on this.

And as it isn't worth another post:
The muhammadines are outraged again, and rioting. Isn't that like saying the sun sets in the west?
If you sneeze wrong, they'll act out the LA riots again-because their Religion of Peace(and compassion, and understanding, and tranquility, and,,,,,well you get the point) has somehow been insulted.

Hey guys, how about acting like grown-ups; maybe someone might care.

I found this blog on the sitemeter

I'm trying to kinda keep this around PG13 or so, but maybe I need to start a list of NSFW links?

Your Sunday dose of religious commentary


A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church

one Sunday afternoon when he came to a crossroads where

he met a little girl coming from the other direction.



"Hello" said the little boy.

"Hi" replied the little girl.



"Where are you going"? asked the little boy.

"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way

home", answered the little girl. Me to", replied the

little boy. "I'm also on my way home from church".



"Which church do you go to?" asked the little boy.

"I go to the Baptist church back down the road" replied

the little girl. What about you?" "I go to the Catholic church back

at the top of the hill", replied the little boy.



They discover that they are both going the same way so

they decided that they'd walk together. They came to a

low spot in the road where spring rains had partially flooded the

road so there was no way that they could get across to the other

side without getting wet.



"If I get my new Sunday dress wet my Mom's going to

skin me alive" said the little girl. "My Mom'll tan my

hide too if I get my new Sunday suit wet", replied the little boy.



"I tell you what I think I'll do" said the little girl. "I'm going to

pull off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across".

"That's a good idea", replied the little boy. "I'm going to do the

same thing with my suit".



So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without

Getting their clothes wet. They were standing there in the sun

Waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on when the

Little boy finally remarked:



"You know", "I never did realize before just how much difference

there really is between a Baptist and a Catholic".

Gungeeks needed


Before Blogger goes tits-up again

I just bought a .22 revolverfor Mrs Trainwrecks B-day.
A the Saxet gun show, alot of the older .22 revolvers could handle multiple casing sizes (.22 short- .22 LR). They wanted cash for the one I wanted, so by the time I got back outside and the ATM was empty- I decided to go to the nearest dealer.

I was looking at inexpensive .22's to teach the wife the basics of pistol shooting------SHHH,, don't tell her(she reads this occasionally), and was told that the modern revolvers aren't capable of handling different case sizes.
I'm just wondering, is it that they're made differently- or is it because of the trial lawyers?

The chamber should be strong enough to hold the pressure of 1/4" difference in casing length.
Why would an old revolver be able to handle .22 short to .22 long rifle, but not a modern one?

Gun geeks, I await your answers. . .

(UPDATE)
The reason I want to use up the .22 shorts is that it's not exactly allowable in the HOA laws to shoot in the back yard, and being as I'm too lazy to drive to the range and the RR embankment makes a great berm, well. . .

Quick, before blogger crashes again

Make a link to this and get a back-up site.
I'd buy one, but am fixing to change jobs.
Besides I'm a cheap b@stard.
Plus I just spent $250 on wifes B-day present(more on that later).

Dave is in Vegas

They didn't capture him in this video did they?

But ya know what they say: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
So i guess we won't know, will we Dave?

We, the C.E.O. s of the major oil companies
Would like to extend our thanks to the
Democratic Party, and the
Environmental Activists
Who actively worked to stop all increased major oil
production, transportation and refining on the northern continent of America.

Although our rate of return at 9% was well within the norms of business,
your forcing us to rely on foreign oil supplies,
and the maximum capacity of our delivery system
has given us the largest profit in our entire history.

Thank you again.

Rhiannas hubby is back

She's so happy to have him back, now all her electric stuff works again!
He just got back from the sandbox, made a special trip just to fix her computers- it would seem.

Go welcome him back to civilization.
I don't think she has a post, but add a comment.

Didn't ya just know that scoccer players were Gay?

Sorry, but it's NOT football.
This came from a site that I'd forgotten all about, and now Confabulation is going on my blogroll now.
So I don't forget it again.

Thanks Rhianna gee, just what I need
I got tagged by the 4X4 meme
I really appreciate it, yep I do.

Uh huh.

Well, lets get started

4 Jobs I have had:
In reverse chronological order
Gas/Electric supervisor, City of Castroville
Gas leak survey tech
Flatbed OTR driver
Gas Dept. Superintendent, City of Port Aransas

Four movies I could watch over and over and have:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (AAHHHeeeAAAHHHeeeAAHHHhhhhh)
Team America (Take that Hans Brix!)
Patton
Kelly's Heroes

Four Places I have lived:
San Marcos, Tx
Port Aransas, Tx
Rota, Spain
Newport, RI (ya didn't say I hadda like it)

Four TV shows I watch:
Mythbusters
Mailcall
Drawn together
Tripping the Rift

Four places I have been on vacation:
Every place I've lived has been some kind of tourist trap, I can get ripped off in my hometown- why travel?

Four websites I visit daily:
My mail boxes
the local rag
Newsmax
weather pages

Four Favorite foods:
Meatloaf
Carne asada
Pizza
Lazagnia

Four places I would rather be:
I can't say I mind this place we're at now- could be about 20 miles closer to San Antonio, I guess. Other than that, I'd have to agree with Rhianna- TEXAS

And lastly
Four people I tag:
Not going there, wouldn't be prudent

At least I have something to post today, anyhow. Thanks Rhianna.

I hear someone was trying to make her molehill into a mountain

again.
I swear, Cindy does need to run for congress, she's got the instinct for TV facetime well honed.

And speaking of anti-Americanism. I hope everyone that has their hand on the leaver in the next election will remember how the Dems acted lately, including last night.

Bush brought up the tepidly fought battle of Soc. Sec. reform, and the Dems gave themselves a standing "O" for screwing over their constituents.
They can't stand to see the great unwashed (us) have any control of out own retirement- especially if it means them loosing control of that pittance they talked about.

Everyone knows Social security is rapidly running out of money; and if you didn't know it, the IOU's they gave when they raided the fund are coming from. . . US who have already paid in.

Now the Dems are congratulating themselves for keeping their giant Ponzi scheme intact.
If they REALLY wanted to help Americans, especially the poor, they should let us in on their retirement plan. I'd love to work for one term (whatever your job turnover rate is) and be guaranteed that much a year for the rest of your life- with free healthcare. But no- we, the great unwashed, mouthbreathing cretins that we are deserve to give up 20% to an uncaring bureaucracy with no interest, or even claim to the money. There is nothing that says the govt' has to give you that money back- it's not yours. THAT'S why the Dems don't want to change it.
The fact that Bush had the terminity to even mention it was sacrilege to the altar of FDR.

Your taxes are coming up. Take a look at what you are really paying. I bet if you don't gross over $100,000, your Federal tax is less than 10% after all the refunds and deductions you get back.
Ted Kennedy probably pays less tax than you do- his money came from interest on the money his bootlegging father made. Think about that next time you hear them demagogging the "richman tax cut". Think about your diminishing retirement fund next time it's time to vote.
Think of the Dems' standing "O" to crippled Social Security.

So, Bareback Brokeback is nominated for a lotta Oscars, huh?

Wouldn't know, don't care about the Liberal Lefts' agenda via Hollywood.

I just know that they're about 20 years behind the Reverend Horton Heat in their stretching the homosexual cowboy love thang.

Kinda weird how an evil christian extremist could beat the Hollywood left by so much, huh?
