But I thoughtn ALL the Gitmo inmates wre innocent goatherds

...who were rounded up just so the CIA could practice their waterboarding techniques.

But it appears the France, that bulwark of righteousness and moral uprightness has other ideas on former Gitmo guests.











And, no. I can't sleep, I have the Gulag of the Comal on my mind.
Another unpaid 3 hours OT and more to come. At least now we have all the pole bases poured and almost all the new conduit connected to the existing.
We still have to finish the worst of the lot (right next to the river- under the water table), and then pull wire and try to figure how we'll set 29- 15' light standards where we can't get a boom truck (and a backhoe has trouble).
I'm thinking some kind of A-frame.

I want to get out of their, the supervisor wants to get out, the owner is taking a bath on this job because the guy that estimated it spent a whole 5 minutes throwing together a bid.
And we're working on a 25- 30 degree slope,,,if it's not next to the river and the clayey mud there.

Gawd, I will never voluntarily EVER visit New Braunfels again.
Except for the fact that I'm driving, I'd close my eyes every time I went I-35N through the town.

I'd appreciate a British translation- please

According to this Telegraph article, somehow the Queen will be the oldest Monarch.

Except that none of the dates mentioned seem to [my American math] to match.
Q.E. was born on April 21 [a woman does not disclose her age].
Queen Vic was 81 when she died on Jan 22, 1901.

BUT...this Saturday...for some British mathematical reasoning- she'll be the longest reining British Monarch. If I read the article right.


GAWD, so confusing- mixing English accounting with American ways of telling time.....

Are they finally growing a pair?

Usually when the UN gets a building bombed, they close shop- don't they?
Now, they're sending their boss over to Algiers.

That's what they do on a UN sanctioned effort under American leadership cause of unilateral aggression over in Iraq.

Ok Ban, when can we expect to see some action in Darfur?

You know

You people who are looking for Chelsea Clintons nipples are kinda disturbing.
I mean, really- she has the worst features of BOTH of her parents. I can't say anything about her personality or work ethic, but being raised by them....gives me the skeevvies
just thinking about meeting her alone.



Oh, and to ad onto that wonderful thought, I have to go back to the nightmare on the Comal today.

Continuing Christmas cheer

More Christmas spirit

Oh, come all ye faithful

Dear Europe,

Just listening to all the hyperbole about the effect (CO2) causing the cause (Global warming) over in Bali-and was wondering: y'all signed onto the Kyoto thing- didn't you?
You were supposed to bring your CO2 down to like 2004 levels- or something.
Have ANY of you come close to meeting that goal?

When you do, let us know- K?

Oh, just a thought.
Next time you want to throw a global "Climate Change" get together- we have something that the High Priest of Carbon offsets invented, it's called the INTERNET. With it you can teleconference and see each other face to face without wasting hundreds of thousands of gallons worth of fuel.

I don't think this will end well

America went through this before and it was vicious and bloody enough- without a Communist dictator in charge

Lets party like it's 1773

The Boston tea party was held on this date to protest another of King George's user taxes.
Back then, the Colonists were paying far more into a distant and uncaring government than they were getting back in services...............

Wait-a-minute- that was 1773? Cr@p, it sounds like us today, doesn't it?
Except this time we'll never get out from under the thumb of D.C.

I'm just curious about Hillaries supporters

The ones who keep telling us about how "uniquely qualified" she is to be a Democrat president.
I mean besides being the only white woman running.

Is not being able to remember jack chit about what you did in your life one of those qualifications? You know- not remembering what your job was in the Rose Law firm, Who's decision it was to fire and then prosecute the White House Travel Office staff. Has anyone found out who Hired Craig Livingstone of the FBI files in the White House basement? How about the magical appearance of Hils billing records...AFTER she testified that she couldn't remember nada about her job there?

Not to mention her forthrightness on her Government health care fiasco.

About that bandwidth problem I was having with DISHtv

After we finally came off their Fair Access Policy- we hardly ever break the top of a 6250MG download -out of an allowable 12000MG average. That's with everything going the same way we always did. Including music and pr()n educational video downloads.

After calming down and thinking a bit, I'm starting to think it's Wildblue company policy to FAP new customers in their first two months...just to teach them a lesson (or sell upgrades[more download bandwidth]).
It happened to us when we first got Wildblue (and we upgraded to the next tier), and it happened with wildblue via DISH Internet when they saw us as a new customer.
I wonder how many upgrades they get by just turning off a reset counter for a week or two?

And now,,,

THE ultimate modern Christmas song.


Doesn't it match our modern day Christmas spirit?

Nose art

I'm watching reruns of the Memphis Bell.
And in the opening half hour they show the take-off roll of the bomber wing.
So I thought I'd give you some anti-PC eye candy.

In looking, I ran across this site, which should tweak some sensibilities:

Although some examples of non regulation art can be found on the military aircraft of other English-speaking countries, the phenomenon is predominantly American, perhaps due to the streak of rebellious individualism attributed to American culture. Nose art is important as an historical and societal indicator over time, an example of folk art or popular expression, and a record of the past.

~and~
The characteristics of World War II aircraft art and the fact that it flourished during that time are indicators of that era. The art reflects the attitude of the people involved in the war--both at home and on the front, and, in the case of World War II, the attitude was positive (Davis v. 3, p. 3). The images--often patriotic and sometimes propagandistic--clearly reflected the spirit of the times, the all-out American effort to fight the good war. The combat crews were backed by a unified, supportive public. This was a war with a clear objective, and one in which the whole country challenged a known evil. At first look, the art that was a product of the war seems to be nothing more than silly names and irreverent images. But taken as a whole, the images indefinably suggest an underlying determination of the country to right a wrong.-My bolding

OK, so did I p*ss off enough Brits and 'patriotic' Libs?

Anyway, on to the un-PC patriotism of the Airedales...





She is part of the C.A.F. San Marcos Squadron a B-25




And look at their life in Europe:

I was looking for a specific plane, 'The magnificent Obsession' because a friend of mine from Port Aransas (and San Antonio) Col. Art Rupert (Ret.) flew with her during the war.
I DID find another piece of nose art that another friend flew as a 'Volunteer' in China, though...

With a tip of a rat-killing .45 to frank.

Coffee?

I got to clicking links and ended up at 'The Anchoress' where she was talking about take-out coffee.
She'd rather have take-out than home brewed.

I *HATE* the taste of industrial coffee, it always tastes bad- too burnt, bitter, old, or (Insert your dislike here). I usually drink it black -like my men- , but even adding the flavor maskers doesn't work, just tastes nasty.
If I have to drink that nasty cr@p, at least they have a couple pieces of ice to cool it down (and dilute it a little)

But my dear Erica, making Ice Coffee intensifies the dog c@rp factor by over 100%- I don't know who convinced you that it could possibly be near as good as Iced Tea, but NYC is as Liberal as Seattle, so maybe it was osmosis.
The sweet kind.

A question for the Gore-acle Himself

Hiya Albert!
I was just reading Eric's' take on your latest version of the "we're all gonna fry!" speech.

After all your self righteous hyperbole. Would you please tell us just exactly *how* or *why* this particular 'Global warming Climate change event' is any worse for the earth, (and the human race) than any of the uncounted (that's before people could keep reliable records) history of global warming cycles?
Is it because there could be disruptions to the way animals live? Isn't that the religion of Evolution that you libs pay homage to?

But *WHY* -aside from the fact that you and your chicken hearted enviro-Crusaders are alive now- is ANYTHING different from the other hundreds of warming cycles that have reshaped the earth and it's (sorry---Her) inhabitants?

Also, given the way your Dems and eco-wienies have destroyed our petroleum self sufficiency- and jacked the price of home heating up so it *really* hurts the poor; why would it be so bad to have warmer winters?

Weather update

We're now getting the rain they've been promising for the last two days.
I have to take the backhoe to a new school complex about 10 miles away from the Pennies project.
My supervisor wants me to road it instead of going all the way out to the Orchard (the new main office) and getting the haul truck.
That will be an interesting experience- hauling butt down 1604 at 25MPH in the rain.

I don't know if this kerfluffle is local

But here in San Antonio, Time-Warner is exchanging temper tantrums having business differences with the NFL over T-W not carrying their NFL network.

The NFL network has now somehow gotten the Texas Legislature to look at somehow mandating Time -Warner to offer their (moneymaking) network to all subscribers.

It's none of my business, really ( I have DirectTV) but I'm getting tired of MAJOR corporations acting like spoiled kids trying to get the public involved in helping Jerry Jones make even MORE money off his team of drug dealers and assorted other criminals.

I understand the NFL wanting T-W to supply their game network on a non-premium tier, but WHY should everyone be forced to pay higher fees to make the NFL even richer?
Every cable company I've used has had fee increases because they're now bringing me even 'more' sports channels (and removing the ones I watch) that I don't watch.
I also don't have *ANY* inclination to watch the Mexican channels, so that leaves me maybe 20 channels to watch out of an advertised 500+.

NFL network,,,,stop wasting my tax dollars!

Will someone PLEASE help me spread the word

...That when you come up to a stop SIGN- it will *NEVER* turn green.
Also that green light you see at a stop LIGHT; The bottom one, the GREEN ONE; it will *NEVER* get any greener than it is now.

Also, what IS it with those Mexicans and horns?
I was working on a new Pennies today and all I heard over my backhoe motor was two Mexicans blowing their horns on another backhoe and a liftall- every time they changed speed, direction or came near one of their fellow "guest" workers.

A Christmas melody

From Da Yoopers

The Legacy Media

Helping America lose wars since Viet Nam.

Even our enemies thank them for their victories.

Here's a quote (lifted from dat cajun) from Gen Gaip (Commie- N.V.)

“What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!”

A truism worthy of note: Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for they will destroy your honour.

This is what they're dragging up about Fred Thompson?

The Legacy Media is (I guess) trying to show F-Thoms (to do the rapper thing) hypocrisy by not having a hunting license. I'm sure there's a good reason that he doesn't.
I'm pretty sure that campaigning does take time way from a deer stand.
It's not like he *needs* to buy 2nd Amend cred by getting a NRA life membership two days before running for Prez.

I live where all I have to do is step out of my truck to shoot a deer (or a feral pig) and I don't have a licence. I might get one if the Dem's keep forcing the price of meat up- but that's later.
I don't want to spend the time dressing and butchering the thing. Plus I have three dogs. Can you imaging those idiots -and me smelling like fresh kill, I'd never get to the house without stepping on the idiotic things.

So, I guess because Freddy-T (is that a better hip-hop name?) likes fire arms, but doesn't have a hunting license makes him somehow a hypocrite and not worth voting for?
Sorry for you, but that makes him more inclined to vote for him- just because you have to use that fluff to go negative.




Ok, to be honest about the hunting thing. I work outside all day, and have the Ron White hunting ethic. There's no A/C or heat out there, that's what I work to pay for. That's what I want.

Good grief

Is all I can say.

And, Dayum. That's going to be a biatch to clean.

I found this blog on my sitemeter. Pretty to the point.

For every one searching my blog for CHELSEA CLINTONS NIPPLES try clicking on the *image* button, you might actually see pictures.

Just do it!

Here's a way to thank the troops from across the room.
Think of it as flashing gang signs- but in a good cause.

Be in the right posse.

I sure am hearing a lot of false outrage from the left---again

This time it's about those CIA tapes.
You'd figure that after the Valery Plame blow-up and subsequent witch-hunt, that they'd understand trying to protect agents that were *really* covert. The ones that didn't let everyone in DC know who they worked for and didn't have their names and faces in a major magazine with her husband Joe Wilson.

Here's a clue for you Leftists out there that have your undies in a wad about waterboarding- a lot of our troops and probably most of the CIA know *EXACTLY* what it feels like because it's part of their training in resisting interrogation.
But then, it's Americans doing it to Americans, which isn't as bad as doing it to Islamo-fascist terrorists -who you people want to protect.

Sorry, long day

Actually it was a long week.
I didn't do a Dec 7 post but there are plenty of good ones out there, quite a few on my blogroll.

We're still in New Braunfels spinning our wheels on something that we should be finished with by now. It was supposed to be a simple job- Pull the old cement (light) pole bases out, find the old condiut, stub out replacement conduit, pour new base pull wire and set the poles- for 29 riverside park lights.

• Out first item of pulling the old pole bases showed us that the conduit was run into the bottom (about 5' deep)
• The work is on a slope of various degrees of steepness. On one of the holes, I had to use the backhoe on something like a 30 degree incline. After pulling the base and finding the old conduit, the gravel was so loose that I almost slid the backhoe into the Comal river.
• Every time I start to follow the old conduit, I'm breaking some kind of waterline ( I hope they're all abandoned), running into big rocks that pull my backhoe into the forms, or the ground is so dry that the dirt just fills the (new hole I drilled) back in.
• We thought we FINALLY (after two weeks) got 15 done enough that we could pour the base,,,,,,,until the inspector came out.
  
• We have to take everything back to Selma every night, so our machines aren't completly cover with graffiti and our material isn't stolen. (Nice people you have there, N.B.)

The new pole bases are specked at 7' from the top of the Sona-tube to the bottom of the hole.
the 6'9" we had (that would have passed on any other job) weren't acceptable to our intrepid bureaucrat. Now we have to redo almost all we've done.

I *know* the company is taking a bath on this one. It's been FUBARed from day one, and we've given them over 10 hours in unpaid overtime.

After due deliberation, I've decided who I'll be voting for

Lets see-

• We have womyn voting for the Hildabeast because she's the 'right' sex.
• Blacks are voting for Obama because he's the 'right' color.
• Romney gave an "I am am an American before a Mormon" speach- which changes some peoples minds.
• Huckabee [I haven't seen ant bumper stickers, but would it say *I heart Huckabee*?]
• Fred Thompson actually has a track record that matches his campaign
• Guliani the east coast vote.

I think I'll follow everyones lead and vote for the one like me.

It's the white guy!

I just thought of something

With all this CO2 hysteria from the Left environmentalists who claim the effect causes the cause (CO2 occured after global warming events- historically).
And their pilgrimage to the tropical resort of ......um....Bali?, who is planting millions of trees as an 'offset'.

I guess that we Americans were climate saviours back in the late 19th century because we got rid of millions of Greenhouse gas emitting problems. So instead of hating us, the environmentalists should be glad we almost exterminated the Buffalo, right?
