Dogblogging

Got a question or two for knowlagable dog owner/lover/caretakers.

We've got some white trash neighbors with three dogs left to run loose.
Our dogs have 'fence fights' with them, where they can slobber all over each others heads, but not do much dammage.
Naturally, our trashy neighbors probably don't get their dogs rabies shots.

I know that rabies can be spread through saliva. The question is- do we have to remember to wash our hands every time we touch our dogs? Just when they're wet?
Or just shoot the other ones (next time they're in the trash)?

Second question-

That's Goliath eating gnawing a raw broccoli stem.
How long until he gasses us out?

Last one doesn't have to do with "dogs" so much as *Doggies* (as the Marines call the Army)
-and anyone else over in the sandbox.
Here's a link to the good cr@p that they want over there.
I seems like a pretty good list, and I don't know if it's intentional or PC, but they didn't mention Redman as a good way to keep awake.

Wah?hoooo.......

Ok, *NOW* wtf is wrong with Googles blogger?

I can't change the title.
Nothing works up there.

Anyway, I was going to make a comment about a post on Wm's blog about the absolute arrogance of the Maryland Board of Education.

See they have declared themselves the ultimate and final arbitrator of what's good for "the children"-no matter what the parents want.
In this case it's the glorification of anything homosexual...again, over the parents objections.
The Maryland State Board of Education has ruled that the right of the state supersedes the rights of parents in teaching children about homosexuality. The Board said the "right (of parents) is not absolute. It must bend to the State's duty to educate its citizens.

"The ruling means that the teaching of homosexuality as an accepted and approved lifestyle in Maryland public schools can move forward. Very important! Some professionals feel that the Maryland curriculum could become the model for promoting the homosexual lifestyle in public schools across the nation.

Because the state knows better how to raise your kids.

Right Barry?
Hil..got anything to ad?

I'm sure by now that you've heard about the record heat

I bet you can't turn a radio or Tv on without hearing some kind of reference to the record heat.

In Nevada alone it's in the low hunnert and teen plus...
in some parts of Cali it's almost record breaking.
Salt Lake City too...

Can I remind y'all of something?

Almost everywhere they're talking about is the DESERT!
It's also SUMMER!

Now I think anyone without some agenda might put those two together and come up with something not so scaryfying as the mainstream news does tries to.

But that's just me, I'm kinda old fasioned that way.

Anyone seen this on TV?

The Gold Kit?

See it's simple, you just get the kit, pour your unwanted gold into a 'special' package and *poof* money!

Why do I smell a scam?

Aside from the obviously under priced payments...Isn't gold selling for somewhere around $400/oz? I don't know how to read that graph, or even what a pennyweight is..I just feel a bigtime underpayment.

Also reading their site, I don't see anywhere that they tell you to send it insured or registered, Heck- just drop in the ol mailbox and we'll send a check right out.....unless they claim they didn't get it.

"Sorry, we didn't get it, can you prove you sent it?"

"Sorry, just because you got a kit doesn't mean you sent it, or it hasn't got lost or stolen before we got it."

Didja ever wonder

What some drivers are thinking?

Why, when someone is on a big main road- with a 10' shoulder, do they ease over to the right to make the turn.....BUT keep 3 frigging feet of their car in the driving lane?
The shoulder is big enough to park a semi on, why can't you clear the traffic lane in your Neon?

I use a map alot to find jobs in San Antonio. Sometimes when I'm close to a subdivision I'll put my hazards on and pull over to the curb. WHY does everyone stay in the right lane - with little or no traffic- until they almost hit me? I've noticed the majority are using a cell phone.

Most cars today come standard with power steering (and brakes). Why do some people always try to scrape my front bumper off when they make a left turn in front of me at an intersection?
Cell pones again, I've noticed,,,and not just the handheld ones.

If it's raining, why do you insist on pulling right up to my bumper at a stop?
You might trust your brakes, but what about the guy behind you? I see these d*ckheads and start to think about getting my new truck truck fixed because of my neck pain and his insurance.

Happy Independence day!

Heh!

I wonder

Did those molem islamofasciests terrorists Dr's. who were arrested in Britain this week ever recite any version of this?

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

Do the Muhaamdine take an oath?

Do they take the oath, but it only applies to their fellow islamists? If that's the case, I don't see any conflicts with their profession.

I better make sure my Drs are non-moslum, since their take on MY infidel @ss would let them make Dr. Mengle look like an amature.

Michael, your side lost.

Get over it.
Stop acting like some whiny @ssed Lib. (yeah, I *know* your money men are mad..but still)

I heard that Michael Chertoff was up on Capitol Hill scolding the Senate on listening to the American people. Now that the Amnesty bill was shot down, he can't do his job...or something like that.

Hey Michael, there have been laws on the books since the FIRST amnesty -over TWENTY YEARS ago.

Try enforcing them, M-K?


And in related illegals news, Arizona's' Leg. passed some stiff state laws "because the federal government has not adequately enforced a federal law that already bars employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants."


Mr. Boosh, if the bill YOU were pushing looked more like Arizona's, it would have gone through with flying colors.

A conversation with a 16 year-old

ME: Tell your sister her boyfriend called.
THING 2:He's not her boyfriend.

ME: Last time she had someone calling her this much and talked as long as they do, it was a boyfriend.
THING 2: He's *not* her boyfriend. She doesn't even like him.

ME:She doesn't like him? Then why doesn't she always be busy when he calls?
THING 2:NO! She doesn't like him is all.

ME:If she doesn't like him, why is she on the phone with him so much?
THING 2:She just doesn't like him. I have friends I don't like.

ME: You have friends you don't like?
THING 2:Yes, lots of them.

ME: If you don't like them, why do you hang with them?
THING 2:They're my friends!

ME:You don't like your friends? (Is this starting to sound like 'Who's on first' to any of y'all?)
THING 2:I kind of like some, but not all of them. I'm not hungry now! [dump goes a plate full of meatloaf and trimmings into the trash.....as the dogs look on]

ME:OHhhh......so you like your friends, but not *LIKE* them?
THING 2: I'm going to my room!

How many different tools can you count?

I guess that all depends on weather you want to be the first on your block with some $600 over-hyped toy that has all the software problems of cutting edge technology.

But I think we can all agree that the one from her gated enclave is the biggest one in this clip.

It must be a guy thing

I'm the only one who thought this was hilarious.

The better half TSKed and gave me a dirty look.



Snorked from Walrilla.

...And in another bit of Liberal brilliance

The Dems want us to increase the fuel milage of ALL our vehicles to unrealistic numbers.

But then, we could always use China as a model of our future vehicles!

Now a little crash test that shows a cabover Ford destroyed for the good of humanity.


Now how about some good-ol 'Merican wrecks?

Just let the frigging thing DIE already!

Can you believe that some Senators (and their money men) STILL want to try forcing amnesty through in one form or another?

A priority for many farm groups is the "Ag jobs" component, one of several programs now needing a new legislative vehicle. It would legalize about 1 million undocumented agricultural workers in the U.S., a key goal of growers whose crops can rot in the fields if not harvested at key times by people willing to work hard at low wages.
That's because "Big Agriculture" doesn't want to invest in developing machinery that would do it quicker,,,but sit idle until needed.

But at least we got through to some of them:
"The American people believe that until we're able to secure our borders and enforce our laws, taking additional steps is really not in the best interests of the country," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after Thursday's crucial Senate vote that derailed the bill.

Some lawmakers immediately urged President Bush to accept defeat on the wide-ranging bill and ask Congress for an emergency spending bill for more border enforcement activities. "That would be a great next step after this vote," said Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who opposed the bill.

Some lawmakers said it hardly matters, however, because enough money and authority already are in place to do the job.

There should be "a very strong sense of urgency in this country to simply carry out the law, the mandate, for 854 miles of fence that we passed" in the 109th Congress, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told reporters Thursday. "They've only built 13 miles of the fence so far. Let's get it built before the next hot season."

Like I said, let it die, I hope the amnesty supporters will get theirs in the next election, it would make a dam fine attack strategy to let their constituents know just WHO they're pulling for.

If "Big Ag" starts trying to pull the old "but look at the family farms" cr@p Let them know that WE know that they own most of those "family farms", and have since the '80s.

San Antonio--"Up yours Army!"

I guess the only time that the (mostly) Dem City council cares about U.S. military bases anymore is when BRAC is looking at closing something.

They fought hard to keep the funding for Fort Sam Houston during the last round.
Now they had a choice of Keeping San Antonio a military friendly city by keeping Camp Bullis away from light pollution, or going for the developers money.

Guess which won?

Yeah, the developers. Why would anyone think the Armed Forces training to go to Iraq might need to actually have training in the dark?

The city council just voted to rezone the area surrounding Camp Bullis to be developed into a residential and commercial zone. Some 700 acres.

The choices I'd heard were;

• Keep the natural ambiant dark (for night vision training)
• Re-zone to the developers request
• Laughably.....put black-out zoning into effect in the development.

Black-outs, in high-dollar gated communities. How long do you think that would last?

Anyway, I guess the S.A. city council thinks their chit don't stink with the Spurs MBA title.
...And the Defense jobs here that they'll try to keep.
The fact that hundreds of thousands of new people keep moving here makes them think that somehow they have some kind of class other than... low.

Yep, I can hear them now, complaining about how D.C. doesn't understand how MUCH they love the military and would do ANYTHING to forward their mission. Yep, I know I'll be getting an earful of Bravo Sierra next time they talk about base closings.


(UPDATE) JUNE 29 6:20pm


Sorry, I got That wrong- or the TV got it wrong. I heard the real details on my way to work this morning.
The City Council DID mandate a buffer zone, the developer will only get half of what they wanted.

Dear Sen. Specter

Try to remember this.


YOU. WORK. FOR. ME.

The first three words in the Constitution are "We the PEOPLE"

Not:
``We are in trench warfare and it's going to be rough,'' said Pennsylvania Republican Arlen Specter, a chief sponsor of the legislation. ``But we are going to see the will of the Senate work one way or another.''

Where do these arrogant mother f*ckers get these ideas? It's time so change the players, get some rookies that WANT to win.

Thought you were getting ripped off at the pump?

You actually might be.
But not from "Big" Oil.

How about a hacker sitting in the parking lot?

Great, so now am I going to have to start using cash again? Cr@p, nothing's safe fron them.

Ya know, generally I'm not personally affected by international news

But sometimes I just have to say,,EEWWWWwwwwwwww *shudder*.

This story is one of those times.


And in the Tahoe fire... I haven't heard anything about a possible cause yet. You don't think the Liberal media might be holding out on the fact that illegals are known to start fires for the diversion affect?

Gun safety

It applies to BB guns, too!

Radio sales reps,,,

Aren't they supposed to try to find a good fit for the ads instead of just *selling* air time? No matter how badly the ad fit with the program?

The reason I'm asking is that both 1200 WOAI and 930 KLUP which host the likes of Laura Ingrham, Rush Linbugh, Michael Medved, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage have put an ad for the BI-LINGUAL YELLOW PAGES on during their respective shows.
With all the broo-ha-ha about the amnesty bill, someone really should have told them,,,"Not reeealy a good idea to flood the airwaves with heavily (Mexican)accented english right now....If you get my drift."

But someone did sell a bunch of airtime to people who brag about having clients who no hablar anglis.

Way to go Herb!

Salesmanship 101

A young guy from Ohio moves to Florida and goes to a big

"everything under one roof" department store looking for a job. The

Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid says, "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Ohio."

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start

tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the

store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many customers bought

something from you today?

The kid says, "One".

The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers

a day. How much was the sale for?" The kid says, "$101,237.65".

The boss says, "$101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a

medium fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I sold him a

new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he

said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we

went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris

Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so

I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4

Expedition."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him

a BOAT and a TRUCK?"

The kid said, "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife,

and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing."

In the shadow of the "swbmebcamrkd" meme

Or whatever Erica called it...

How about this?

A state song meme?
Your favorite vid about your state in a song/musical.



This ones' a twofer- 'God Bless Texas' by Little Texas.

Put it in your blog and touch back in comments. If you don't have a blog and want to play- link in the comments.

I'll be glad to watch both vids.


Thanks to Outlaw 13 for the idea!

Notice anyting?

This was on the other night.






More than once.....







Fact checking?

I admit, I didn't know which way to go with this

Erica had an Archie Bunker You-tube up about gun control.

Ok, do I follow with an Archie Bunker thing, or a gun thing?



How about the comedic effect?

Killing two birds with one stone

...so to speak.
El Capitain is going to have to flea bath his catzz.

Being the helpful soul I am, here is an easy way to both fleadip the cats, AND do some house cleaning at the same time!



1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet flea shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

Sincerely,

The Dog

Oddly intriguing

How the reflections and shadows play with eac other...

The original is much more striking.

I AM amazed

Really.

I thought those in power up in D.C. were the ones that were the ones that made things happen.
Turns out I was wrong- they're almost as helpless as a newborn kitten- if you believe what they tell you on talk radio.

I heard Micheal Chirtoff yesterday, telling how powerless he was to close a gap in the Cali border fence called "Smugglers Gulch (or Gap) because according to him it's some kind of engineering impossibility. The Engineers have been looking at the problem of filling and fencing this free pass for over two years. But Micheal can't be held responsible for his agency not getting it done...because he has to rely on his underlings- ya know.

Trent Lott was on Hannity as I was driving home tonight, complaining about how helpless the entire U.S. Congress is to actually get their laws enforced.
THAT'S why nothings been done about the increasing flood of illegals since 1987.
They pass laws, but golly-gee, we can't actually enforce them, ya know.
But trust us on this new one, we'll see that it gets enforced.

Sorry guys, I was in the Navy for almost 9 years, (you pick your favorite bureaucracy). I know that if the boss wants something done- it gets done. If the boss doesn't want it done, no matter how he mouths off about it- it don't get done.

"Go over there with the other people who suck"

Oh, yeah....

I fergot.

Happy Juneteenth!

And guess what? They're trying to make it a nationwaide celebration.

This might interest some of you in a city

Or anyone close enough to an ATT repeater station to be able to get DSL.

According to this, AT&T is offering DSL for $10/month.

No, they're not advertising it, but I'm sure you could get it if you asked.

It's one of the drawbacks to being out in the country- we need satellite for TV (Charter sucks) and Broadband. Oh and 15 mile round trips EVERY time someone goes into town.
