So what is the downside again?

...Of "GLOAL WARMING!!!"?

I mean, all this extra corn and other edible crops going right into the maws of "BIG ETHANOL" instead of feeding people need more places to be planted. So when "GLOBAL WARMING" hits (finally) it wiil make more land available to plant corn for BIG ETHANOL to use, and there will be less use of electrical plants to warm the polar people.

So now enjoy:

They *REALLY* need to find new playmates

When i was growing up, my mom always told me: "If you can't say something good about someone, then don't say anything at all."

I usually take that advice- except in this blog, nothing to write about otherwise.

This thing about Barry and Michelle not being able to find anything but bitterness, discontent, unhappiness, racial disharmony and the like seem to me that they're (subconsciously?) looking for those people. But then they *ARE* Liberal Democrats who practice racial hate, so I guess it just goes with the territory.

Maybe they don't know the the 75% of America who have a positive outlook on life and the future. Maybe they don't want their brittle bubble of elitist arrogance jarred against a corner of common sense America- no matter which party it belongs too.

They don't want to see a middle-class black family living and socializing with other colors in the same neighborhood,,,it's something they're not familiar with. Never done the backyard BBQ with the neighbors unless it was politically expedient.
They didn't see blacks and whites working together to rebuild their communities after the two gulf coast hurricanes- all they could focus on the self-enforced helplessness of the N'awlnes blacks.

You look at them. And you look at the church they belong to and you just have to wonder, just how twisted are the outlooks of their two daughters listening to a preacher telling them to hate what what makes them able to live like they do.

H&R Not

I went down to e-file my taxes today at a large tax filing company.
As she was entering my hard copy into her computer, she was verifying information.
When she got to Thing 2, I told her immigrant, Green Card, and we went on until we got to my 1040-SE (self employment); where I dropped a zero in my taxable income.

Ok, everything else was ok until we got to the owed taxes, which I had figured at around $1600.

Wrong- she had me at almost $3000 owed.

OUCH!!!!!!!

WTF???!!!????

Ok, yes I did kinda loose it there, and told her to hold it while I came back with another credit card.

When I got back with another card (with more money on it) she was busy and I ended up with the owner who re-checked the info because I had Thing Twos accurate birthday. As we rwere going down the list, she mentioned that too bad T.T. wasn't a greencard holder- or I'd save about $1100 in taxes.

UMMmmmmm,,,,,she HAS a Green card, I told the original prep woman.
Oh, it's not marked that way, lets change it and see what we have.

After we rechecked and changed some of my bed figures, we ended up about $200 more than I had come up with. So instead of $1600, I ended up with a Tax owed of $1800.

No thanks to someone who's either too busy, or thinks she knows your answers better than you do.

But I'm in a better situation than Rachel Lucas, who btw shares my sentiments on the Fedral handouts to those "Entitled" to have them.

If you need your vodka fix

SKYY vodka supports the Treaty of Guadalupe.




Which is a much better map than their European competitors, now

Isn't it.

Doogie Howser gets it

And I hope that he remembers it if they try to get him to start making B.S. political statments.

"My job description is to act," his statement said, "and I should really do just that."

Ok, actually he was talking about a writer taking some of his Britney comments out wrong when he was talking about her guest apperance on his show.

As I sit here

Doing the DAILY installation of WinVISTA *very important* updates.

I'm looking at going back to my favorite set of stadium lighting to try to find out why one light won't work. Nice, and I have to get on the platform and reach around a 2' reflector. OR re-run about 10' of wire thar could have gotten stripped when the cable assy. pulled loose and dropped the 60+ feet to the bottom.
I had to remake the pinplug yesterday because most of the top parts stayed with the bottom when it dropped.

It's weird, I blew a fuse wile pairing the wires up, and when we light the top bar, all of the lights come on except the far one (without the fuse). When we swap fuses, only one light (out of 4) come one- and NOT the one that was missing a fuse.

Back to you Folly

I got tagged for the 6 word meme thing, so here it goes.

Not interesting enough to forward memes

The new Hot Magenta is,,,Famous

Really! Crayola is renaming their colors again- because change is good.



Yep, gone is the day when a crayons name was actually a description of the color. Now it might be Famous or Best Friends or Bear hug.
It's not like coloring crayons might actually teach children their colors and the right names for them.

So one day you'll be watching some home improvement show and a gay interior designer is going to mention how wonderful a color scheme using "Famous" as a highlight with "Best Friends" as another color.

Sorry, but I have to call Barbra Striesand on this test

You Belong in 1955

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?

Because first of all they didn't HAVE a Mustang back in the '50's.
Second when I went back to look at the questions again, it moved me from 1950 to 1955.
And I have no idea how preferring "Mork and Mindy" to "Lucy" ...and old rock to Swing, then skipping the entire date for the "home run" puts me back into the '50s?

Looks like gas is going to be in the $4/gal range soon

I wonder what ever happened to that huge oil deposit that covers three states, centered in South Dakota? The article I read (last month) said more would be forthcoming in a bout a month (about last week).

I'm wondering if that article was grossly overoptimistic in their estimates?

Anyone got an idea on how we can get a phone-in campaign going to our House Dems, thanking them for their energy policy that has us in this position?

I'm thinking of slapping names and phone numbers on the gas pump saying "Let your Congress critter know how you feel about their ban on using our own oil" With local numbers and names.
who wants to join?

How things change

Or seem to change, given today's present state of politics.

I was listening to Joe Lieberman talking to Sean Hannity on the way home and he actually sounded rational. Like he could look at both sides of an issue and try to decide what to do by using facts instead of emotion.

Then I remembered that he was a Veep for John F'ing Kerry (D-ork)* AlGore (D-oofus) and the only reason he isn't a Dem now is that the flaming Libs in Conn. threw him out for realizing the GWT actually was doing good.

I like Joe Lieberman and think that he means to try doing what is actually best for the country without the iron plated dogma of the far left blinding him. I'd even cut him some slack on some of his ideas,,,,but know I's probably not vote for him as Prez.....unless he was up against either Dem running now.

And your weekly dose of "G.I. jive"

Absolutly not

Here's a little history for you anti-American crowd. And meccos lovers, too.



After the Mexican war of 1846-1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed giving the Mexican government $15,000,000 of 1848 dollars, retiring their $3,250,000 debts to American citizens and making all Mexican citizens living in the acquired territory the ability to become Americans if they wanted (about 8,000 families). Most took America up on the offer.

AND to complete our short history of the U.S. -Mexican border history- The Gadsden Purchase bought what is now the bottom of Arizona and part of New Mexico for the purpose of a southern railroad route to California At a cost of another $10,000,000 in 1853 dollars.

So now if you don't mind, I'll enjoy our Manifest Destiny with my preferred spirits without an Absolut worldview

Too good not to share

Obama represents Illilnois, right?

So,,,he should,,,,somehow (through osmosis?) gotten the basics of bowling. You'd think.

Except that it's probably not real popular in the black separatist crowd that he (and his wife) hang with. But still it's almost a state sport...except that it's not exactly the sport that the snobbish pretenders he hangs out with gravitate to.

Which is why Barry went bowling and had a 37 game... just to show that he "was human'....I guess. OR that he was completely clueless when it came to the normal recreation of his constituents.

Now we have a Conservative babe trying to duplicate that ...ummmm......impressive bowling score. And, yeah- it's Mary Katharine Ham......What else is there to say?




P.S.,,, I wish I could just offhand a strike like that when I was bowling.

So...........

After Hil or Barry turn our private health care system into an even larger example of the Walter Reed fiasco; which insurance are they going to decide is the 'new' right?

I'm torn between my 'right' to Gov't run auto insurance or my 'right' to homeowners insurance.

I'd have to guess the next 'right' will be the auto insurance,,,get all those illegals who won't buy auto insurance on the dole (just like the health care) and they'll be sure to drive much better, just like they take care to only use the Emergency room for life threatening emergencies.

I wonder what it would be if I had tacky tats?

When is a miracle not a miracle?

When it's a normal thing wrapped in a disguise is when.

Even the Beeb is making noise about the "man" who is pregnant.
Sorry guy, you're still a woman. You had a boobectomy and are taking testosterone- you still have two X chromosomes. You need the Y for the daddy thing.

So,,,,sorry Mr. Beatty- like your GYNO (lady Dr.) says, it's a normal pregnancy.

And it looks like the normal people in Cali get a break this time because the Beattys are located in Oregon.

All I have to say

Is that anyone who buys a factory painted Black and White sedan is an @sshole.

Happy Birthday RAF

You've come a long way in 90 years!

More jobblogging

We They started setting the lights for the stadium lights this morning while I was on the other side of town moving parts trailers form Clemons H.S. to Judson H.S. when I get a semi-frantic call from my foreman.

"Kurt, where are you?"
I'm just getting onto 1604 heading back to the Orchard (the shop), why?
"As soon as you get there, -don't even back into the barn-- bring the bucket ruck to Brandies, we really need it."
Ok, be there as soon as I can. (with traffic it's about an hour away).

I get back to the shop and back the haul truck into the barn and start the bucket truck. The storekeeper is heading out there, too with his crew to get excess parts, so I bring one of his kids, too.
We're on the way with the usual traffic jam before the I-10 interchange when my boss calls asking where I am.
Just coming up on the I-10 interchange.
"Hurry-up we need that bucket truck!"

We get there and just as I thought, they needed it to take the slings off the 65foot ballfield lighting. Or they'd have had to climb the poles to remove them.
So I set=up and go undo the slings. I know what my day is going to be like.

When we raise the second pole, the wire that was supposed to be secured to the inside top of the pole supplying the lights; ended up at the bottom. After undoing the slings, I went up to see about getting the wire back up when I met my new friend looking at me from a hand hole about 61feet in the air. I dropped the winch line down the inside of the pole and raised the wires and secured them temporarily so my new friend could make his way down.

We got done with the rest with no other problems and I went back to animal refuge.
I mentioned the 61 feet because the max. lift on that bucket truck is 55feet. When I set-up the truck again, it was in a different spot, and I couldn't get high enough to work with both hands to push the 60'worth of wire weight back and onto the holder.
I also couldn't get my hand into the hole to find the other plug-end.

After getting to the yard, I'd put in another 10 hr day and looked at an hour drive home.

How was your day?

Watching the Nat'l weather this morning

Nice scary bit of global warming going on up in the mid-west Al.
Are you going to go help dig them out, maybe use one of your private jets to help melt some of that global warming?


Has he ever touched anything that didn't end up like a soup sandwich?

You know the Verizon Guy?

Did you ever wonder why he kinda looked familiar the first time you saw him?

Anybody recognize this guy?

If not, maybe the crest on his armoUr may give you a clue.

Now look at his hat.

Peace, love and Pogroms

Because we have to speak TRUTH to power!

Because all evil is caused by those nasty Jews, ya know:



I kinda surfed to the vid from Zombies photo-report of the S.F. 5th Anniversary of the war (Iraq, that is- NOT Kosovo)





This protest brought to you by

Mercedes-Benz

Something (else) you won't hear from the Legacy Media

The ones that saturated the airwaves, internet and killed forests in telling us all about the Haditha massikree.

Another Marine has been cleared of all charges stemming from that ,,,,,,,investigation.
It's interesting that I had to find it in a generally Liberal online rag published 4,000 miles away.

Oh, in case you haven't heard, that makes 5 aquitted of the eight being investigated.

Investigated by prosicutors who give equal weight to the tesimony of our enemies.
AND don't insist that the bodies be exhumed for forensic tests.

Oliver Stone is making a Bush biopic

He's starting to look for actors to portray the rest of Bushs White House..
He wants it out before Jan- before bush leaves office.

But despite he being a flaming Lib, Stone says this movie will be even handed (in the best Liberal tradition).

Stone has said that the film, which will focus on the life and presidency of Bush, won't be an anti-Bush polemic, but, as he told Daily Variety, "a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?"

Yep, I'm going to spend MY hard earned money to see it.

Birdshot

That's about how hard hitting and well aimed as this post will be.

I hear that both Democrat Presidential wannabees are going after Bush on the economy.
They're going after him like flies on chit acting like it was his fault that the economy is heading South. So I'd like the two pretenders to answer some questions:

• Both of you are Senators (one for two years and the other for six)- Are you trying to tell us that your energy plans have NOTHING to do with the rising cost of everything related to energy? That the rising cost of food (and fuel) isn't the result of your shortsighted insistence on biofuels? That you BOTH want to 'punish' the oil companys for making 9 CENTS /gal on fuel while you rake-in 60 CENTS in tax? That 'Big Oil' is to blame for the cost at the pump, but you say nothing about Wall Street oil profiteers?
• George Bush Graduated from an Ivy League school with high marks and an MBA- What are your qualifications for turning the economy around?
• So, what is it? You're judged by the company you keep- or not?

To John McCain- You say you "heard Americas voice" on the Mccain/Kennedy amnesty bill.
Shouldn't you maybe cosign Pryor’s S.2368 immigration bill, or stop blocking Schulers (D-NC) Save Act (H.R.4088)- since you like to work across the aisle?

I listen to the radio during the day when I can and get lots of blogfodder, but when I get home, I pretty much pull a blank. Maybe because I'm concentrating more on driving? Or, maybe I leave that at work, too?

Do you hear an ad on the radio and can't turn off the radio fast enough?
There's one going around here about some acid blocker, it has someone moaning about gastric distress and it's intercut with laugh lines. The product starts with an X or a Z- not sure- can't stand to listen that long.

The supposed racism of the newest Vogue cover- both LeBron and Gisele had to approve it (and their PR flacks- I'm sure). Aren't, maybe all these alarmists who see racism everywhere kinda projecting -in a Freudian way?

I'd rather get paid for overtime than get comp time. If I'm going to be off on Fri. schedule me for 4-10's.

Sorry about taking the air hose from the shop, Ronnie- but I had to air up trailer tires. That 2008 $54,000 F150 of yours shouldn't need to have it's tires topped off anyway.


Now, I'm off to deposit my check and spend more money at Lowe's-repairing mobile homes sucks.
I'm looking forward to the day we can build our 'real' house here.
AND- anyone in the San ANtonio area, if you want some wainscoting panels let me know. I'll make and paint them white for you- and charge you less for a 4x8 sheet than Lowe's does for 1/3 of a sheet.

Where mah dawg?

Sorry, this article reminded me of this interactive cartoon.



Caution, yeah-Joe sold out with the ads... and is slow loading,,,and sophmoric as h^ll.

But still funny!
