(January 24, 2011)—Researchers at Texas Tech University’s Institute of Environmental and Human Health warned area farmers, ranchers and hunters Monday to use caution when handling wild game after finding evidence of the bacteria that causes tularemia in feral hogs in Bell and Coryell Counties.
OK, it's only in two counties now- but that doesn't mean it'll stay there.
Besides, these precautions are common sense anyway...
“If you are handling or cleaning or eating wild game, particularly hogs, deer or rabbits, you should be wearing rubber gloves and eye protection when you’re dressing wild game,” he said.
“The bacteria can enter any sort of small cut or hangnail. During this time of year, it might not be as big of an issue, but you should check yourself for ticks, wear tick repellent and avoid biting flies, including mosquitoes.”
Presley also recommends making sure game meats are thoroughly cooked before eating them and says homeowners and lawn care professionals should look for wild rabbit nests hidden in tall grasses prior to mowing.
It's also known as Rabbit fever.

On this day in 1973
The Paris peace accords ended the Viet Nam war.
After a Democrat Congress Starved the military of funding.
The Democrat Party- rooting for the enemy since the 1968.

So I walked the garbage cans up to the road just now
And opened a Ten. Foot. Wide. Gate.
As I was unlatching it I saw the remains of a plastic bezel and red lens. Where someone had backed into the post with their right side bumper.
I don't know which one did it because both of them drive a small SUV- one's a Hyundai and the other is a Montero Sport.
I don't know which one is going to be out the $50-$100 that it'll need to fix it. But I DO know that they were sticking their head out the drivers window like a gopher because they know better how to back up than someone who can parallel park a semi with 53 foot dry van.
Because here's a hint for someone who 'might' listen.
When you back up, look at your side mirrors, they'll show you EXACTLY where your vehicle is heading, and what you might hit.
You can't do that when you back up like this:
UPDATE
Here's something else I picked up driving big trucks.
The acronym is G.O.A.L. Remember that if your not sure you can make it. It means-
Get
Out
And
Look

He blew-off his first anti-earmark promise
I don't know why his Left base thinks he'll keep his promise this time.
Any more than he kept his promise of a lobbyist-free white house.
But, hey! At least we have the most ethical and open Administration since the Clintons.

They don't have a problem with the .gov reading their E-mails, tracking their cell calls or tracing their web surfing.
Soon, your boyz will be replaced by Rethuglicans who now have the same power, and what are you going to do about it?
Yell and cry and take them to court demanding all the restrictions they had under Bush?
Sorry Toots, it's too late- you should have seen this coming.
Except that you were blinded by your Chicago Jeezus.
I'm going to laugh at you freaking out when you realize how much the Republicans can get on you now.

So,,,what does it mean?
All those stupid black and white ribbons adorning overly expensive evening wear?
Let me guess... It reflects the polarizing tone that once was in the chambers is now a wonderful counterpoint to each other symbolized by this $500 ribbon of hope and changieness. Given to your prom date to signify the momentous day in history that will only be repeated as long as bi-partisanship can overcome teapartyishness.
Or until a Rethuglican is in power.

Is anyone going to waste their time listening to Prez Kickazz?
Are any of you going to watch the pre-address show? I hear they're going to get Joan and Melissa Rivers to comment on the pregame show.
AND, most importantly, what kind of sofa cover will MEchelle be wearing from a soon-to-be-bankrupt designer?

Just wondering about this lovefest at the STFU speech tonight
Do they have ,,, like an E-congress.com?
Who'll bring the flowers?
Can a Senator sit next to a Rep, or is that not cool? (like a Senior hitting on a Frosh?)
Whose side are they going to sit on?
Will they sit at the same desk, so they can pass notes?
Are they going to call each other about what they'll wear?
So many Questions...maybe they appointed a committee to handle all that?
"We came up with a 2,000 page proceedure book on this unprecidented bi-partisan love-in, and guess what??!!!?? It only cost $1,500,000!!!!"

Did you ever
wonder what might be going through Rahm Emanuels head since he's been back in the Windy City?
His private Twits.

You've all heard by now
about that anti-american piano jingle played for the big Chi-com Hu, right?
If' the Won' would have known what it was, he's try to hum along.
Which made me wonder...what kind of music might be banned from the house of Chicago-on-the-Potomac?
Rap?
NO, it glorifies undocumented pharmaceutical manufacturers, unregulated sex therapists,
transporters of unlicensed underage photo-models.
Country?
Those inbreed rednecks glorifying alcohol abuse and horse abuse?
Rock?
Depends, is it someone who hates America, or one of those Teabaggers?
Psychobilly?
Depends on what they're talking about...drugs? Free sex?
How the EPA screws them....ummmmm-NO!

If you notice, they're the origional TV run time minus the commercials.
If I ran these today, instead of 26 and a half minutes- we'd maybe be looking at 15.
Watching the TSA scramble for new hoops
for you to jump through BEFORE you even get inside the building
in three....
Because they're so good at over reacting
...Two....
And you gave up your Fourth Amendment rights by even thinking about entering the terminal
...One...
UPDATE:
Still no news on which rightwing wacko did it, or which rightwing hate speaker was responsible for setting them off.

Watch for it this week up in DeeCee.
We'll be hearing about how "Gabby wouldn't want" whatever the Republicans try to undo from the last Congress.

It's racist, I tell ya!
A bar owner in the Twin Cities who backs the Pac is going to show his support by roasting a Black bear.
Doesn't he understand how RACIST it is by cooking a BLACK bear???slashslash??
The president is BLACK and so are half of the Chicago bears.
Waiting for a Liberal meltdown anytime now...

Chili is supposed to be red
No matter what your ingredients are (beans or no).
That's from the traditional spices, even if it's free range Organic Michigan black turtle beans.
That's why they call it a bowl of red.

Oh bummer
I guess nobody has the 1337 skilz to photoshop a fake-but-accurate long form birth certificate for our Chicago Jeezus.
So this time we'll obey the law and not show it to anyone.
Because us Democrats are all about obeying both the letter and the spirit of the law.

Cain V. Gingrich
Newt Gingrich just announced his bid for President.
I know running for office is open to anyone who has enough money and meets the lowest qualifications- BUT maybe we should ad another?
How about 'no one who's only government experience was to be a Senator or Rep.' for a qualifying marker.
Because, look at where we're at now with a Senator in charge- who's only experience was being a Senator for two years. His opponent wasn't much better.

I got an e-mail yesterday
Actually I got more than one from bigger and better written blogs than this one.
This one was from Bruce over at Q and O, which I'm surprised they even notice me.
He asked me to say something about the new F-35 Joint strike fighter and it's competition, the Chinese J-20 and the Russian T-50 super-jets.
Russia has always had cutting edge fighters, but couldn't afford to make many of them.
China is now catching up and maybe even surpassing them- and us as we borrow our way into second world status.
Right now we have those @ssclowns in the White House making decisions on our defense budget with the same forethought that your five year old puts into what she's going to wear out into the snow. We have the F-22 at $wow! a pop, and that's ok- for now.
We have the newest and best technology in the F-35 at $OMFG!! a pop, which is the problem.
We only have so much money to go around, no matter what fiscal games Geithner and Bernacke want to play; which is kind of like the Soviet Union was 30 years ago.
We have to start cutting things from all .gov tentacles incluing defense, but we have the hard decision of where to cut. That F-35 isn't the place to cut because we need to develop that technology to be able to stand up to the Chi-coms when we next have a President with a backbone.
Right now, we're deep in our end zone at the two minute warning and down by $Hfshiat to the Chinese because of the boatloads of money we borrowed from them, and we'll be financing their development of the J-20 for years just on interest. I saw an Australian report that saysif when we go to war with the Chinese, that we won't have enough missiles to stop them in the air, much less gain air superiority. What we need to look at is building more advanced tech planes to be able to avoid being annihilated in the first wave and be strong enough to take the fight back to them.
To even be able to have an air arm, we'll have to spend more money now to build up an inventory of smart planes and hopefully the Republicans in the House can make the choice to put out the money for more than a handful, because we will need them.
If you're looking for offsets, here are some from the top of my head--
The Dept of Education has been in charge of steadily declining test scores for over 40 years, how many F-35's would eliminating that buy?
The Energy Department was appointed to reduce our reliance on foreign oil- they banned us from drilling on land, they keep forcing us to drill in deeper water, AND now they won't even let us drill in the gulf- with oil looking at OVER $100/bbl- how many planes would ending that 45 year old bureaucracy buy?
Homeland security?
The USS John Murtha? -motto "In cold blood."
Amtrack?

In a feelgood story
from next week, we know that the Hadron Collider is not making teeny-weeny black holes.
But if it was, we'd probably not be able to measure them anyway because they'd disappear in about 10\-27 seconds... which is almost as fast as the MSM takes to attack conservatives for hate speech after a shooting.

Her name is Cathy A. Cruz Marrero
She's the dumbass who walked into a fountain because she was too busy texting to look where she was going.
This morning she was on TeeWee on some morning show that I can't be bothered to watch complaining about people laughing at her and putting her dousing on You-tube.
Now she wants to sue somebody for putting that fountain in her way,,,because she's embarrassed that people saw her,,,but didn't know who she was--until she started complaining publicly.

Why do you think we're trying to pull a fast one over here at Chicago-on-the-Potomac?
...And speaking of where 0bama got his start, Gov. I-was-there-when-the-Chicago-Jezus-was-born still hasn't found the birth certificate.
As long as he's been looking for it, I'm surprised that it hasn't been printed up in a Word document already.

Get those rabbet ears adjusted-

but guys, you need 42Hz
I was watching a rerun of Mythbusters where they tried the 40Hz that supposedly mimics the sound of a wounded animal, but it didn't work.
Of course it didn't work, everyone knows the answer to everything is 42.
